Survive the Night: My Favorite Horror Movies Thread

Introduction

Welcome to my favorite horror movies thread.

I'm glad that I have decided to do this instead of an updated horror list thread. While seeing more horror movies, making the list grow even more with a lot of changes, the plan was to make a 50 horror movies list.

Since plans have changed to make things less stressful while making so many adjustments to the horror list and having other worries about the list. I've decided to make a single thread that shares all my favorite horror movies that I have enjoyed and implement this idea called list post updates.

The point of this idea is so that I can make list changes easier in one single post instead of having to make a whole new thread every time I see more horror movies that weren't on my current list.

I will be updating every so often, giving each horror movie entry something special on why it belongs on here. After a certain number of entries, there will be a post on an updated list and posted in the order on what I enjoyed the most. It's going to be interesting to see how the list grows as I get new list updates.

So these movies that I am about to present to you are all about the horrifying and entertaining journey that was brought to me during the years of horror cinema.


So run, run, run for your lives from the evil presence chasing you.


Don't trip on anything or you could end up being the killer's next victim.


Instead be the survivor to a brutal bloody night and fight back against the evil presence to end whoever it is once and for all.

I'm interested in seeing your posts. I'm a horror fan as well.

If you are up for non-English horror film recommendations, I have a few to share.

I love non-English horror films, some of the Mexican ones from the 50s are really nicely done.

Also, Giallo, naturally, but almost everyone already knows about those.

Fun thread! Looking forward to the posts.

Nice! Horror threads are always appreciated, especially non- English ones as there are so many good ones out there I never hear about normally.

Halloween (1978)
Director: John Carpenter
Horror Movie Type: Slasher
Horror Movie Setting: Suburbs
Runtime: 1 Hour and 31 Minutes
Rated R
Distributed by: Compass International Pictures
From the original horror list - #2

A cool horror slasher that was made in the 70's and yes it maybe a be a slow burn in the first half of the movie, but at least it builds itself up with Michael stalking his victims and looking for the best time to go in for the kill.

Also, what makes this movie so good is the nice chilling soundtrack playing throughout the movie, it sure grabs my attention and makes me want to see what happens next.

I just find a masked psycho killer stalking and killing babysitters for no apparent reason, somewhat a creepy thing to see. I think John Carpenter did a great job with the film overall and the movie's theme song also.

Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers (1988)
Director: Dwight H. Little
Horror Movie Type: Slasher
Horror Movie Setting: Suburbs
Runtime: 1 Hour and 28 Minutes
Rated R
Distributed by: Trancas International Films
Not on original horror list

The film starts off fresh with a few new characters and brings Michael back from the dead by having him wake up in a coma. No Laurie Strode in this movie but they still keep the Myers/Strode family tree stuff in and this time Michael is after his 8-year old Niece, Jamie Lloyd.

I can't tell you how fun it was to nitpick at all the silly and funny things that go on in this film, like how the way Michael looks, it seems like he's wearing shoulders pads, the whole scene near the end when he's killing the redneck lynch mob and a few others stuff. This may be a cheesy film, but still enjoyable to watch.

One of the best things about this movie is the atmosphere, it's got that fall look for sure. The soundtrack from this movie is good also.

Halloween (2018)
Director: David Gordon Green
Horror Movie Type: Slasher
Horror Movie Setting: Suburbs
Runtime: 1 Hour and 46 Minutes
Rated R

I think this was a great follow up film to the original and thought the creators of the movie ignored the rest of the sequels and just start off fresh. The plot may not sound as that plausible with the whole 40 years thing but it’s better than nothing.

Also, I like how they got rid of the Laurie – Michael sibling angle that’s been prancing around in the other movies.

In this movie, we are back to square one where Michael is just this cold-blooded killer with no ties or connections, just killing people on Halloween with no motive and giving you that simple answer on why he does it, because he can.

Imo, I feel that creators did a fantastic job while making this film, giving us a nice experience while watching.




A nice track that was played in the movie, it's got that creepy tone to it.

Halloween Kills (2021)
Director: David Gordon Green
Horror Movie Type: Slasher
Horror Movie Setting: Suburbs/Hospital
Runtime: 1 Hour and 45 Minutes
Rated R

I like how trauma plays a big role in this one with the whole town affected by Michael’s bloody rampage and of course the story is all over the place and some of the characters looked like a bunch of goofballs, with their silly annoying chant “Evil Dies Tonight.”

To me I think it’s supposed to be annoying as it portrays an angry mob that’s out for vengeance for what Michael has done to their town but making foolish decisions that could get themselves or anyone killed.

The ending is one of the most ridiculous endings that I have seen in a horror film. I think the creators of the film put themselves in a corner here, with the next movie it’s the only way they could back themselves out.

Halloween Ends (2022)
Director: David Gordon Green
Horror Movie Type: Slasher
Horror Movie Setting: Suburbs
Runtime: 1 Hour and 51 Minutes
Rated R
Distributed by: Universal Pictures
Not on original horror list

2018 gives us the brutal comeback of Michael Myers as an old man that he should be, Kills gives us fan service with a lot of bloody ridiculous carnage and then Ends, things sure hit different.

Instead of recycling the same thing that all the Halloween movies do, in this one, a new kind of evil is introduced to us while Michael is sidelined thought out the movie.

I don’t mind this because when they do show him, we know what he’s going through. His days are almost up, with him getting old and his body is weakened from the beatings he endured from the last two movies, the consequences for his actions are finally catching up to him. I like how we got a good satisfying ending to the movie as well, no cop out bs for sure.

Just thought to share this clip from Halloween 2 before we move on to the next entries.

Damn this was unintentionally funny
