Your favorite horror movie is...?

You can stream the theatrical release for free on Tubi

Thanks for all the info, I’ll start with Tubi and then have a look to see if I can find the 93 minute version somewhere. My wife hasn’t seen it so it wil be fun for both of us.

Duel is not a horror movie. It's also not exactly Spielberg's first move.

Spielberg's first movie was Amblin' (1968), a short after which his production company Amblin Entertainment is named.

Spielberg's Duel (1971) was a made-for-TV movie that had a theatrical release with a few minutes added to make the running time long enough for a feature movie.

In 1971 Spielberg also directed the Columbo episode Murder by the the Book with the Jack Cassidy as a murderous novelist.

Spielberg's first proper feature movie was The Sugarland Express (1974).

Jaws came out in 1975 and that movie is still great.

It depends on your personal definition of horror. In 1971, even on TV, Duel was plenty scary to me.

Scary does not equal horror. Like, I said, The Sound of Music is the most horrific one.

Genres exist for a reason and while clear definitions do exist, a movie can fall into more than one genre or have elements of other genres. The only thing resembling horror in Duel is the existential fear inflicted on the protagonist and I categorize it as an action thriller. If the movie horrifies you then it's a horror movie to you. I always thought Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory was a horror movie. Seriously!

Have lots of favorite horror movies, hard to single out one. Since many here are car geeks, maybe this one will strike a cord.

On tonight, think I might watch it again just to see Christine demolish that service station.
