Seven Nights of Horror

[Chainsaw]

With Halloween happening next week, we've got just enough time for seven nights of horror. What's on your list? My list is mostly stuff that I think is fun to watch with a beer in hand, but if you want your list to be Seven Scariest or Seven Most Important or Seven Best from the Seventies (etc), that's fine too. Post all of your lists! For me, in no particular order...

Seven I Love
You're Next
Nightmare on Elm Street
Halloween
28 Days Later
Zombieland
Evil Dead
Texas Chainsaw Massacre

Seven My Five Year Old Loves
Curious George: A Halloween Boo Fest
Scooby-Doo! Frankencreepy
Pooh's Heffalump Halloween Movie
Hotel Transylvania
Hotel Transylvania 2
The Mummy
The Mummy Returns

I'll bite:

Campy Seven (only some of which I'd show my kids)
Captain Kronos - Vampire Hunter
The Lost Boys
Night of the Living Dead
Black Sunday
Incubus
From Dusk Till Dawn
The Plague of the Zombies

[Philotomy Jurament]

First seven that came to mind (not necessarily in this order).

• 28 Days Later - first time I watched it I was feeling adrenaline rushes (rare from a movie)
• Evil Dead 2 - classic
• The Exorcist - classic
• Exorcist III - George C. Scott dominates in this
• Pumpkinhead - nostalgia, for me
• Session 9 - cerebral and creepy, and you need to pay attention. Danvers.
• The VVitch - great period piece, great imagery, great score, and an ending that doesn't let you down.

Witches, demons, possession, and zombies...

I have a lot more horror on queue, and not all of them are comedies, but those are the first seven I could think of in the c/h genre.

Hell yeah! My favorite time of year. Here's my Seven Nights of Horror for 2017:

1. Motel Hell (1980): My favorite campy 80's slasher movie. "It takes all kinds of critters to make Farmer Vincent's fritters!"
2. Trick 'r Treat (2008): Modern horror classic anthology movie that takes place on Halloween.
3. Sleepy Hollow (1999): The sets in this movie are the most "Halloweeny" that I've ever seen, with maybe the exception of Trick 'r Treat above.
4. The Haunting (1963): Still the best haunted house movie ever made.
5. The Witch (2016): See PJ's comment above
6. Cabin in the Woods (2011): Super fun and over-the-top.
7. Inside (2007): Extremely brutal French home invasion movie.

Scary Halloween Films

Prince of Darkness
Mouth of Madness
Event Horizon
Nightmare on Elm Street
Silent Hill
The Fog
Halloween

[ThirstyStirge]

I'm gonna add The Mothman Prophesies, a movie that gave me genuine creeps upon first viewing. Soundtrack is also suitably eerie.

@Wheggi: Thanks for reminding me of Sleepy Hollow. I'll have to dig that one out and rewatch it.

[Ragnorakk]

Seven Dark & Trippy

Prince of Darkness
Videodrome

[DungeonMonkey]

My seven (in no particular order):

1. Darkness
2. Jacob's Ladder
3. Frailty
4. Angelheart
5. The Invitation

7. Jamie Marks is Dead

The last three are ones I saw in the last year or so and enjoyed enough to watch again soon afterward. The others are ones I've been returning to periodically for years. (There are others in that category, some of which have already listed above, but I only had 7 slots.)
