Up front warning: This is the ultimate low budget b movie campy horror film. It was written and shot in a seven days on the sets of another movie. It is not scary and is by no objective means a good movie. If you like campy low budget slashers it’s a must watch.

Sorority House Massacre 2. Five college women spend the night in their new sorority house, the old Hokstedter place, and make the mistake of using a Ouija board. It has a great twist revealing an unlikely hero and the last line of the movie is my favorite line in all of cinema.

Least favorite: Sorority House Massacre. Maybe the worst example of a low budget slasher flick ever made. This movie is so bad that the sequel used clips from a different movie, Slumber Party Massacre, for it’s flashbacks and backstory. While intended to be scary campy low budget slashers flicks tend to be so ridiculously badly written and acted that they become parodies of themselves and present as humorous movies. Sorority House Massacre isn’t interesting enough to reach this important self parody status and winds up being neither scary nor funny.

Favorite: The Thing, the John Carpenter one from the 80s. It is perfect.

Least favorite: Nightmare on Elm Street. I like other Craven stuff but could never get into this one.

My favorite is John Carpenter’s The Thing, with was already mentioned here by @Ragnell

My least favorite would be Bird Box (is that a horror film, or just a thriller?). I tried watching it and was just bored the whole time. If Bird Box doesn’t count as horror, then I’d have to say Cronenberg’s The Fly. It’s not a bad movie per say, but it just didn’t work for me for whatever reason.

John Carpenter’s The Thing is not just my favorite horror movie but it’s on my list of top 5 favorite movies of all time. I just love that movie to bits on so many levels. Other favorites of mine include Alien, Evil Dead 2, Creepshow, and Return of the Living Dead. Though some honorable mentions to The VVitch, Barbarian, and The Lighthouse (does The Lighthouse count as a horror? Eh. Whatever. I do really like it).

Some that immediately pop into my head:

Krampus. It’s mildly scary but the audio and atmosphere is phenomenal.

Trailer Park of Terror. Just sit back, drink a couple of beers, and enjoy this B-rated movie in all it’s glory.

Slither. Horror comedy that’s great for people who don’t like a ton of scary but don’t mind blood and gore.

Tucker and Dale versus evil. A comedy with a unique perspective to the horror genre. A must watch!

favorite: hereditary. maybe a cliche answer but it’s genuinely the best horror movie i’ve seen in a long damn time, everything else is so generic and follows the exact same predictable formula. hereditary didn’t do that at all.

cant say i have a particular least favorite, because almost all of them are bad and forgettable, therefore I forget them lmao. a bad but good horror movie i love is the later chucky movies like the bride or chucky and the seed of chucky, which are more comedy horror and bad in a good way

Favorite is house of 1000 corpses.

My favorite will always be The Shining, which I have seen so many times. I first watched it when I was far too young and now it’s part of my personal schema.

Least favorite, Turistas, which gave me a near panic attack from second hand claustrophobia. Never again.

Least favourite: Event Horizon
I like sci-fi, not ghost story in space.

Favourite: A Quiet Place
Excellent pacing, truly terrifying threats.

How would you like to feel extremely uneasy and uncomfortable?

Try Skinamarink

This is absolutely an either you love it or hate it film. I can 100% understand why people hate this movie - every single shot in this movie is out of focus and not directly showing you what is happening in the scene. It requires 100% focus to decipher (or come close to) what’s going on. It made me feel like a kid in the dark, which is what this movie is about - a brother and sister stuck in their home in a forever night as some entity begins to hunt them.

Content Warning - Child Disfigurement.

If you’re looking for a popcorn horror movie to watch with a loved one, skip it. If you’re interested in something truly, truly experimental, give it a shot.

I’m a horror geek, so my list is biased toward my interests, not what is “best”.

Favorites:

1. Halloween (1978)
2. Hellraiser II: Hellbound
3. The Shining
4. Event Horizon
5. The Lost Boys (this one is only vaguely horror, admittedly)

Bonus: Nightmare on Elm Street because it’s the only one that scared me as a kid. Freddy really came into my dreams so I thought he was real for a long time.

Least Favorite (no particular order):

-Paranormal Activity
-The Purge
-Killer Klowns From Outer Space
-Child’s Play

REC (Spanish) is probably the most successful horror that actually has me on edge most of the film.

I really like the old Dario Argento movies. They’re artsy and gross in equal measures. (And you just know that guy really wants to strangle someone.)

Suspiria tops the list. I also liked the sequel, Inferno, which is probably underrated. The underwater apartment rooms were really disturbing.

I wasn’t a big fan of the 2018 remake.

Event Horizon, the babadook, the first couple of Cube movies and the Child’s Play series are my faves, with Bride of Chucky being my all time fav.

Other faves include American Mary, Terrifier, Cabin in the Woods, Dead snow, and happy death day. If I’m feeling like I want something dumb I’ll go after some Full Moon movies, the evil bong and gingerdead man (first one) are great
