The first theme week of my horror blog will be comprised of
my top seven favorite horror movies of all time. These are the films that have
not and will not grow old. These are the films that I know other people get
excited about (sometimes). These are the films that in most cases have solid
actors, respected directors and/or producers, and pretty decent writers. These
seven movies either launched careers or reaffirmed the talent of those
involved.
My seven favorite horror movies are –
Halloween (1978)
The Shining (1980)
The Thing (1982)
The Fly (1986)
Evil Dead 2 (1987)
Ginger Snaps (2000)
28 Days Later (2002)
I wonder if there is any significance in the fact that the
majority of my favorites were made in the late 1970’s to the mid 1980’s?
Certain movies that come out around the same time period often share a similar cultural
reflection on what is happening in the real world but I’m not sure if this is
the case here. Is there an important reason as too why I don’t have a favorite
movie from the 1990’s? Most likely but the reason escapes me for now.
