    My top 10 (no order)

    Halloween
    The Exorcist
    Sinister
    Conjuring 2
    Scream 1 & 2 (equal to me)
    The Ring
    New Nightmare
    It Follows
    Childs Play
    The Fog / Annabelle Creation

    Lots of honorable mentions and after rewatching lots of classics next 6 weeks this list can change a bit but for now I'm happy about it. Most of them will definitely stay on this ofc.

    It was a really good sequel. Not exactly top 10 OAT but great sequel nonetheless. I wish it would have seen more BO success though.

    Excited for your list!

    Edit- Nevermind just saw it!

    Yeah

    Spoilers in my response for people that haven't seen it!

    Think it went like straight to dvd or something? What I like was how they used those old 80's songs lol. That Kim Wilde song still creeps me out thinking about that movie now. Also, love how they ended the story. No point to have 4 more sequels. And how they ended it; no overdone sob stories about how the killers had a s-----y childhood or something, they did it because they could.

    Overall great short franchise. Thoughts on my top 10? Strangers is probably in my top 15, the thing is they are amazing first time movies but once you know how it ends there isn't that much replay value to me. Same w Blair Witch and the Paranormal activity movies.

    Just started my 6 weeks of horror movies (few a week) until Halloween! Gonna post the ones I saw here with quick thoughs.

    This week so far I watched;

    Drag Me To h---; love it, something fresh not a typical 'family moves into a new house' but a completely different story. Some moments that were corny but overall a good and creepy watch. 8/10

    House of Wax: actually my first time seeing this. Its fun. Typical teenager stranded movie but with some unique elements (hint, wax). Good flick to watch once for me. 7/10

    Pet Sematary (2019): lol. I mean it was fine but it literally copied the first one and added nothing new. The events were like 90% the same they only switched kids, the ending was a little different and they changed the ghost actor to a black person. 6.5/10 for lazyness.

    OG was exactly the same w some different details. As a standalone the new one was fine but to think they just re-filmed the (almost) exact same script lol


    Its NEVER too soon for spookySZN

    I'll tell you Nope is barely horror, think of it as suspense in the same way as Jaws.
