I have to say that horror movies were big in the 80's and everyone enjoyed them. Alot of horror movies now reflect some of the movies back then.
My best 3 would be:
1. Poltergeist 2 (the other side)
2. Nightmare on Elm street
3. Amityville

Poltergeist The Lost Boys Fright Night
Posted by Valley (Member # 1322) on :
1. The Lost Boys 2. The Shining 3. Night of the Creeps
If for some reason 'The Lost Boys' doesn't truly qualify for horror, then throw in "Friday the 13th: Part 2" at number three.
Notice how I found a way to mention a 4th movie without cheating. Posted by pettyfan (Member # 2260) on :
The Lost Boys (I agree w/Valley--not really "horror") Children of the Corn Christine

If these three do not qualify, take 3 from here:
Poltergeist Friday the 13th Part 2 Trick or Treat Silver Bullet Night of the Creeps Friday the 13th Part 1 The Gate Night of the Demons
Notice how I mentioned 11 movies without cheating?

Hmm, I forgot about Silver Bullet.
Posted by C.Rod (Member # 7657) on :
I think that Poltergeist and Nightmare on Elm Street are a tie so far in the category. I haven't heard anyone mention the Excorcist, Jaws, Creepshow

I wanted to list Firestarter also, but I didn't think it fit into the horror category. Great flick though.

I didn't watch the Dark--I watch Cold Case on Sundays. I liked Crazy Eights because it was more of a suspenseful scary.
