A few years back, I posted some of my favorite horror
movies. With Halloween a week away, I
thought I’d post some of my favorite horror novels/movies in a combined list.
On a side note, this is the first year we won’t be trying to
find a Halloween costume. My oldest son (18) stopped trick-or-treating two
years ago. My thirteen-year-old announced that he was too old this year to go.
Hence, no last minute rushing around to find a costume. I won’t miss those
Halloween nights standing in freezing drizzle or snow while the kids collected
their loot, but it does mark the passage of time. And I won’t lie and say it’s
not a little bittersweet.
Here’s the list in no particular order:
- Halloween (original John Carpenter version)
- Aliens (not technically horror, but I’m lumping it in here)
- Alien
- The Descent
- The Shining by some King guy
- Sinister
- IT (novel)
- Friday the 13th, Part Two
- Pumpkinhead
- Off Season by Jack Ketchum
- The Killing Kind by Bryan Smith
- Feast (movie)
- Paranormal Activity (the first one)
- Insidious
- Night of the Living Dead
- Dawn of the Dead
- The Thing
- Salem’s Lot (the novel)
- The Road by Cormac McCarthy (novel and movie)
- Silver Bullet
- Dead Snow
- Endless Night by Richard Laymon
- The Texas Chainsaw Massacre
- The Legend of Boggy Creek
- From Dusk Till Dawn
