The Halloween and Friday the 13nth franchises were more like shock factor fun to me, not so much horror, as startle movies.

I never saw the Michael Meyers, or Freddy characters as anything but an easy target for a deer slug or buckshot.
Neither had supernatural powers.

As far as I was concerned they brought knives to a gunfights and were no match for me on my own turf.
 
The OG miniseries or the thing CBS did a few years ago? I liked a few things about CBS version but M-O-O-N will ALWAYS spell Bill Fagerbakke.

Laws yes.


Christine is a a great King movie. 40 years old but still holds up fine.

Pet Sematary too. The 1989 one with the correct Jud (Fred Gwynne)
The original CBS. Actually I became a fan when I read the book. Its deep.

I agree. The Jason-Freddy-whatever slasher movies bore me terribly. A waste of time IMO.
 
Alien. It's a haunted house movie with monsters. The house is a spaceship and the monster is an alien but that doesn't matter. My number 2 would be The Thing, the 1982 Carpenter version. Jaws is also up there for me. I like me some good monsters. 🙃
 
We watched it on one of our Friday night BBQs purely because it had a Challenger in it. That and my mom thinks my dad took her to see it when they were dating so that was kinda cool.

what a great first date flick! - scare the gal, move in closer do the shoulder on the arm thing...

I saw it on HBO as a kid and had all my friends over on a Friday night to watch it and Salems lot.
Neve been fan of the vampire stuff That stuff has been around forever.

I had to work with all the studios on color correction systems and look up tables for all the vampire stuff and it dove me nuts.


Alien is probably tied with phantasm for first place - both being new ideas vs rehashed villains and ideas from the past.
