The Top 10 Horror Films of the Past 10 Years

Post by Dittomist » Thu Sep 22, 2011 7:33 pm

I recently posted a video blog on Youtube where I counted down my favorite ten horror movies from the past ten years. I hope you'll consider some of these titles for spooktacular October entertainment :) And I also hope you will share with me your personal top ten list. Thanks!

Part 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AM8uX-FwwvY
The Signal, Frailty, The Mist, Let the Right One In/Let Me In, The Descent, Open Water, Trick 'R Treat

Part 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=il6l084posA
Insidious, 28 Days Later, 1408

Thanks for posting that, i'll take a look.

Mine would be:

Trick 'r Treat
The Descent
Insidious
Scream 4
Saw
Saw 2
Ghost Ship
The Grudge (Japanese Version)
1408
30 Days of Night

I don't watch a huge amount of horror, so off the top of my head, those would be mine. :)

It's hard to narrow it down to just ten. My list is in no particular order and includes movies that I found scary, fun, or just had great atmosphere:

Trick r Treat
The Descent
28 Days Later
The Wolfman
Shaun of the Dead
Paranormal Activity
Dog Soldiers (don't laugh! It was a decent werewolf flick)
Zombieland
Fright Night
The Others

I don't know if anyone else shares my enthusiasm for The Exorcism of Emily Rose, but that movie never fails to get to me.

I also like Shaun of the Dead.

I watched The Exorcism of Emily Rose, I enjoyed it but it didn't make my top 10. :wink:

The ambiguity and eerie atmosphere of Emily Rose just get to me.

In the 2nd part of my video, I listed several other films that I really liked--which didn't quite make my top 10-- and The Exorcism of Emily Rose is one of them. It's a very stylish, creepy, and intelligent movie.

I can't watch that movie without thinking about Debra from Dexter. It kills any spookiness that movie has for me :lol:

You know what else was a good one even though it really didn't have a horror vibe to it? Fido. I'm not much for gore so when I watch a zombie movie, I prefer it to have some humor attached to it. Fido, Shaun, and Zombieland are my top 3 favorite zombie movies :)

I enjoy humor, too. Shaun of the Dead, Hocus Pocus, and Ghostbusters are always in my Halloween rotation. Those last two aren't from the last ten years, though.

I hate to be horsey, ramaries, but some of those are not from the last 10 years. You're not following the instructions :lol:
