My Top 10 Horror Films Of All Time

A honest personal top 10 of the best horror films that I think are worth watching. This is my list, so you may disagree but they are worth giving a look. Even if you think some are a little cheesy at least you can say that you have seen that film.

10. CreepShow 1982

Directed by George A Romero

CreepShow 1982

This film is great. Its directed by George A Romero, the guy that is behind other films such as Night of the Living Dead, Dawn of the Dead, Martin etc. Its basically a series of stories taken from a comic book. All the stories are written by Stephen King. its a lot of fun, creepy, funny, and disturbing. Stephen King even stars in one of the stories. It reminds me of Halloween when I was very young as I was allowed to watch it, and remember being scared of the final story.

Awesome beautiful film about a gang of vampires on the run from the law. This film is actually very sad and has a awesome soundtrack. Best watch it and not let me spoil anything.

8. Night of the Comet 1984

Directed by Thom Eberhardt

Night of the Comet 1984

Its 80s at it best. Think Day of the Triffids. Very weird, strange soundtrack and very lonely. Again I'm not going to ruin it for you. Just watch it, you can get it on DVD very cheap or see it else where.

7. Threads 1984

Directed by Mick Jackson

I would normally say avoid this. It was a compulsory film during secondary school in my younger years. For some bizarre reason schools in the Uk would force children to watch this to warn them of what would happen during a nuclear war. Not really horror horror, but more horror than anything else on this page as even to today I wouldn't want to see it again. Once is enough, and enough to know nuclear war is scary. Avoid, but if you have the strength watch.
