Yes, in honor of Halloween, and to get to know our mental asylum neighbors, I was curious what's your favorite monster/horror movies? For those that like those style movies, anyway.
Anyone who knows me well, knows that I am not a fan of modern slasher movies because I hate the whole gore shock factor in movies these days. They sacrifice a story for extra gore and violence. That's why I absolutely love the old black and white monster movies from Universal and RKO. Those, IMHO, are classics.
There is only a few "modern" monster/horror franchises that I like. They'll be in my top 10.
*****
My Top 10:
10) Dracula
9) Frankenstein and Bride of Frankenstein
cool Predator and Predators (not Predator 2)
7) Terminator franchise (minus Terminator 3)
6) Halloween 1 and 2 (not the remakes)
5) Creature From the Black Lagoon
4) Aliens franchise
3) The Beast From 20,000 Fathoms
2) The Thing From Another World
1) King Kong - 1933
Another movie I always watch at this time of year but I don't know if I'd qualify it as a "Halloween" movie is "Nightmare Before Christmas".
So how's about you all?

I, on the other hand, adore slasher flicks. Admittedly, they can be a bit thin on story, but they're fun.
Oddly enough, I have the same kind of disdain for gorecore that some horror fans have for slashers. Whatever.
10) Jason X.
9) A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors
cool An American Werewolf in London
7) Fright Night
6) Evil Dead/Evil Dead 2
5) Hellraiser/Hellraiser 2
4) Phantasm
3) Night of the Living Dead
2) Return of the Living Dead
1) Jason Goes to Hell
On a side note, The Rocky Horror Picture Show always seems to pop itself into my DVD player this time of year.
