I am not a fan of horror films because I am a little girl. I don't like to be frightened despite the fact that some of my favorite movies are horror movies (Silence of the Lambs, Seven, Trick or Treat, Saw I, Alien, Fright Night, From Dusk To Dawn, The Thing). I like to spread out the horror so I have seen so few of the ones I maybe SHOULD have seen. I would therefor appreciate recommendations for great Horror movies and justifications for your choices. I am looking for films to review next month with my spooktacular image posts.
It's too bad we don't get a new Trick or Treat movie every year. They are all just 20 minutes stories anyways so they would be quick to shoot and edit. It would be a school for special effects and horror storytelling - or mass market horror storytelling.
I really enjoy the Final Destination movies for the creativity they put into all the extreme violence. It's fun to watch how the Rube Goldberg machinery of death operates to insure that bad people meet their maker.

Cool! Any way you post the pics is cool to me! And I am so glad you like the Final Destination films, I love them, too!
Well your Halloween Images are probably more organized than might. I'm itching to see what kind of League assignments we'll get out of this.
Recently I've discovered the horror flicks of Val Lewton and Jacques Tourner. They made all sorts of psychological thrillers in the '40s that despite their age have more scary moments that most modern slashers because their frights are much more unexpected. But it may just be acquired taste. "Cat People" and "I Walked with a Zombie" are especially good in my opinion.
For horror movie recommendations, I usually watch Cinemassacre's Monster Madness reviews. Great little five minute summations complete with clips.

I don't generally like horror films. The only one I do like is the original "Wicker Man" movie -- and then only the British director's cut, not the hack job that got released in the USA. And by today's standards of "horror," it's not really all that horrific.
I'm looking forward to your Halloween posts, however you choose to do them!
