What about all the old black and white horror flicks of the 30's and 40's with Lon Chaney, Bela Lugosi and Boris Karloff????

Alien.... and all the sequels.....

Evil Dead.

...come on.

Keeping Up with the Kardashians

How could you forget the horror of marriage?

Hellraiser

Night of the Living Dead "They're going to get you Barbara.."

That's exactly what I was thinking. I couldn't believe it wasn't on the list.

How can JAWS not be on the list. If there was ever a film that has caused that kind of fear in everyone, it should be #1. I don't know about you but when I get in the ocean the whole time I'm thinking about JAWS. The Orca one didn't have any sequels but it was good 'cuz the whale wins!!

Pff, those are all just gory hack-n-slashers, with "gore" more often than not looking really fake. I don't consider those types of movies "horror." Or even very scary for that matter.

How could anybody forget the Scream movies..

Horror of horrors= The new Woot web sites!

Final Destination

Woot!Plus.

"I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice chianti. "

Only the best horror series ever. Jeez guys.

Hellraiser got my vote too!!!

DAH......FRANKENSTIEN, the original movie

I really wanted to say Alien, but are they all horror movies? most people would classify them as Sci-fi. I'll have to go with Frankenstein.

Yep.

This

BOOMSTICK.

You left off The Exorcist!
The original release had subliminals (same with Jaws) which really were a MF. Got scared and stayed scarred. But then again you have to be really old to remember this.

I agree! Bruce Campbell is the best!!

What about the Leprechaun series? I think there are six of these terrific films...

How could you not include: "Hellraiser".

The Omen

Really? (In popular sarcastic tone)

The Exorcist is the Elvis of horror movies.

Duh (In the tone of my 6 year old)

Alien!

Come on Woot!

mokele wrote:Hellraiser

Better than all the ones listed!

Also, I'd throw in Alien.

ABSOLUTELY! Beyond evil!
And anything by Hitchcock...but it's not a franchise...so Texas Chainsaw Massacre...wasn't there more than one?

Except for Rocky, any Sylvester Stallone movie.

Except for Gator and Deliverence, any Bert Reynolds movie

Any Jim Carey movie

Excuse me.. but the Exorcist? HELLO.... made it seem Real.... That's scary.. Blood, yeah, but Scary?

I have to agree with Evil Dead. Classic.

No one did.....its on the list.


and I'll have to go with the saw movies, sooooo scary, and soooo cool. "The Ring" movies are a close second

I'd like to throw Chucky into the mix.

28 Days Later. A lot of people think there were only 2 films in this franchise, but the first one starred Sandra Bullock and was released in 2000. Here's hoping for a "24 Months Later".

I was going to say the same thing about Friday the 13th it is not horror it is a slasher movie. But I do think Holloween at least the first one was a true horror movie.

Yes Alien 1 and 2 after that they got stupid and should not even be part of the Alien group.

Sleepaway Camp

One of my all time favorites!

Jersey Shore

by far the scariest movie ever made is 'Jesus Camp'. it's a documentary and no one could ever make up fiction that's scarier than real life.

the 'greatest horror movie franchise' is Leprechaun. #4 was Leprechaun In Space. #5 was Leprechaun In The Hood. #6 was Leprechaun Back 2 Tha Hood.

seriously, what's greater than that?
