My Favorite Horror Movies/Novels

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 13^th, 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
