DeathDealer · 09-19-2008, 01:36 AM

Your favorite ones. They don't have to be masterpieces, just the ones you enjoy the most.

1) Stagefright
2) The Burning
3) Halloween
4) Madman Marz
5) Maniac

List em"...

For me it would probably go something like this:
1. Halloween
2. Friday the 13th Part II
3. Terror Train
4. He Knows Your Alone
5. Hell Night

Mutilated Prey · 09-19-2008, 02:02 AM

1. Friday the 13th Part 2
2. Halloween
3. The Burning
4. Madman
5. The Mutilator
6. My Bloody Valentine
7. Texas Chainsaw Massacre
8. Silent Night, Deadly Night
9. The Prey
10. The Prowler
11. The Slayer
12. Hell Night

Sorry, couldn't stop

Top five? Man, you're harsh. Even a top ten wouldn't be doing the genre justice. But, since you ask:

1. Halloween
2. Friday the 13th, Part II
3. Madman
4. Sleepaway Camp
5. Prom Night

One you get down to the lower ones, that's where it gets more interesting. Who wants to see Halloween, Friday 2, etc. a million times?

1) Psycho
2) Halloween
3) Hell Night
4) Psycho II
5) Halloween IV

Ash28M · 09-19-2008, 03:33 AM

Wow....exact same list here, except I'd substitute Prom Night with He Knows You're Alone.

...God I fuckin' love Terror Train...

Halloween II (because I saw it before I saw Halloween)
Friday the 13th Part II
My Bloody Valentine
Alone in the Dark
Hell Night

DrHerbertWest · 09-19-2008, 05:54 AM

01.) Friday The 13th Part IV
02.) Halloween 4
03.) The Prowler
04.) Sleepaway Camp
05.) The Burning

Lotsa other quality titles out there, though...

Angelman · 09-19-2008, 07:38 AM

1) Halloween (and my favorite film in general)
2) Halloween II
2) Friday the 13th Part IV
4) Sleepaway Camp
5) The Final Terror

But top 5 is not really adequate. if you said top 15 I could give a good list!

rhett · 09-19-2008, 08:13 AM

Yeah, come on DeathDealer...this is your thread, your rules. Change it to top twenty! And why all the love for Stagefright? Cool flick, the Aussies sure put out a bunch of quality slashers, but it never totally stood out for me.

Are we talking about the same film? I'm discussing the fantastic Italian film by Soavi. One of the few films that was both actually SCARY at parts and furiously enjoyable at others.

Halloween
Maniac
Nightmares in a damaged brain

No, we aren't. I was referring to this Stage Fright (aka Nightmares). Still haven't seen the Soavi one, I'll have to give it a spin.
