October must be my favorite month, I am posting for the second time today about Horror Films. Before I go any further, I just wanted to give everyone a, well my backround and why I love horror so much. A lot of people love it for different reasons, my brother loves horror, because I warped his fragile little mind with many viewings of movies like Halloween, A Nightmare on Elm Street and Pet Semetery.
My love dates back to 1985, I was 5 years old and my mother, she was 26, were watching movies on HBO and she fell asleep. I do not waste an oppertunity like this, ever. I do not remember what movie we were watching, but the late night movie was A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy’s Revenge. My eyes were glued to the screen and I rememeber the next morning I told my mother all about Freddy Krueger. I remember the horrorfied look on her face. So the following weekend HBO did a double feature, both Nightmare movies. I watched and my mom watched along with me. Then she began to test me, bringing home movies like Re-animator and Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2. I could not get enough and that I just absorbed all the horror I could. So I have been watching since 1985 and turned my brother on to it in 1990 when he was 2. So that is my origin, there is much more, like when I got my license in 1996, a Hollywood Video rental store opened and they had $1 dollar rentals on all horror films. My brother who was only 8 at the time would go up there and we would spend ten bucks and get our education in horror history.
I have always wanted to put together a list of my favorite horror films and last year my brother and I challenged ourselves to do a Top 50 list, well too many good ones were left off. So we took it a step further and made it a Top 100 list. This year I updated it and watched a lot of other horror films for research. This is the final product, well the beginning of the final product. So enjoy, disagree, comment or whatever you want. Actually for any true horror fan out there reading this, I challenge you to make your own Top 50 list. Post it on the Nightfall Unlimited Facebook page. If I get any, I will post the best on www.nightfallunlimited.com. Just remember, these are films I have actually seen and it is all based on my opinion. Now to the list.
