My personal favorite horror flick ever made; The Thing is John Carpenter at his finest. No other movie captures the primal fear of isolation and despair as well as this early 80's gem. The only negative remark that can be made is that some of the special effects haven't held up so well to the test of time.

Features the best werewolf transformation scene ever caught on film, all without the help of CGI that wouldn't become mainstream in films for another decade or so.

Awesome and quite original take on the dead being brought back to life.

Blockbuster haunted house flick.

David Cronenberg's classic remake of the late 50's creature feature that starred Vincent Price.

Groundbreaking anime that offers a fresh twist on vampirism.

Faster-paced and more action-packed than the original.

My favorite Stephen King book-to-film adaptation. The Dead Zone is Christopher Walken at his finest, though Martin Sheen's portrayal of the doomed politician is what ultimately ruined this flick from attaining the classic status that it deserves.

Arguably the best horror anthology to see a proper theatrical release.

Rob Zombie recently announced his desire to remake this bargain-bin gem.

Satisfying werewolf flick that is based on Stephen King's "Cycle of the Werewolf."

A spiritual successor to Re-Animator, that is much better than any of the latter's sequels.

Rutger Hauer (Blade Runner) plays a convincing killer that is relentless right up until the final credits.

Late 80's cult classic that features a posse of rockstar-clad vampires, led by a young Stephen Dorff.

The title says it all.

Campy sequel to the original Phantasm that features a faster pace and is my favorite of the series.

Good teen movie.

Curious film that would have fared a lot better had it been released without the "Halloween" prefix, as it is a standalone film that has nothing to do with the rest of the series.
