Neal Romanek

Think they already watched The Fly. But there are so many other David Cronenberg classics: The Brood, Scanners, The Dead Zone.

Olivier Fortier

Too late for the debate, but I think The Fly should have been there :)

Neal Romanek

The idea was to give it a gritty, documentary camera look.

Neal Romanek

For me FRANKENSTEIN is a really boring movie about a wedding combined with some of the greatest shots ever put on film.

Neal Romanek

Daniel's reaction, "F*** this movie", is the perfect review of Hereditary.

Neal Romanek

The Witch is one of my favorite films of the past few years. So beautifully done and so creepy.

Neal Romanek

Yep, definitely. George Romero defined how horror was done for a whole generation. A great, unseen movie of his is MARTIN, kind of an indy, grunge vampire movie.

Robert Nichols

There’s not stinker in that list. I sure hope you’ll eventually watch them all.

Byron Easley

The Crow and V for Vedetta are the best comic book movies... The choice is CLEAR

Odd Thomas

If 28 Days Later wins, just bare in mind it was shot on DV camcorder. Digital cinema was still in its infancy in 2002 and the filmmakers chose to go cheap for practical & budgetary reasons

Neal Romanek

Also House Of 1000 Corpses and The Devils Rejects are well worth seeing for an insane gritty take on 70's horror movies.

Neal Romanek

Look at some of the David Cronenberg classics too - Scanners, The Brood, Dead Ringers, Videodrome,

Tommy Richards

If you guys get around to watching “The Crow”, would love to see you do “Rapid Fire” with Brandon Lee also. Those are his best 2 movies.

Guston Zimasheen

Good suggestion too "Black Sheep" (2006). NZ horror/comedy. jk

MARCO FALZONE

Must see Night of the living dead AND rosemary's baby to connect the dots imo between the truth and lies were told. Great reaction guys👍.

mikethemotormouth

Did you forget the killer silver spheres? Also that bug monster was fackin creepy The portal room was pretty cool Angus Scrimm makes a good villain as The Tall Man And that's just the first one!

Chris Bruneau

best thing in that movie was the hemi-cuda!!!!

Vwlss Nvwls

Despite what wins, I believe Night of the Living Dead, and Carrie are must watch movies for this genre.

mikethemotormouth

Me feeling like the black sheep knowing that my favorite horror movie franchise, Phantasm, is never going to see the light of day here 😮‍💨😔

Guston Zimasheen

Is probably the same reason they chose to watch John Carpenter's version of "The Thing from Another World". Am sure sooner or later they'll get to every single movie recommendation, even if it isn't for the channel.

Ed R

Horror movie suggestion: "Near Dark". Vampire movie with the cast from Aliens. Bill Paxton (Hudson), Lance Henriksen (Bishop), Jenette Goldstein (Vasquez). If you thought Bill Paxton was over the top in aliens you'll love this.

Ed R

Yeah its supernatural and takes place over Halloween, but not really horror.

Ed R

oh man, there are so many good ones on here. You guys should do like a pick top 2 or 3 on this one for October.

Webwyrm

Serpent and the Rainbow ❤️❤️☠️☠️

WastedPo

The Crow is cool, but it's more of an emo/goth comic book brought to life. (Also, notorious for the star, Brandon Lee, dying while filming.) It has a fantastic 90's rock soundtrack that is deeply engrained in my memories, making it very specific to the time (not in a bad way). But it's not really a horror movie. (I just don't want you to have the wrong expectations.)

olly.enn

Sad to see John Carpenters "In the Mouth of Madness" down there. I think it's his best horror film after "The Thing" (yes, BEFORE "Halloween", imho). It is so delightfully Lovecraftian and I love the ending...

Anthony

''Last Night In Soho'' (2021) Edgar Wright Film , personally I think its Honestly is a wonderful film, a change of pace, magical in its own way. Hope you guys get to react to it one day :)

YoureMrLebowski

i think you told me that before. my memory has aged poorly.

YoureMrLebowski

It Follows (2015) give this some love if you agree

Demos Samolis

Rapid Fire definity and i will do you another one that people forget which is Showdown in Little Tokyo with Dolf Lundgren. Thats a hidden gem!!!

Gerald Corona

I agree about The Crow. It deserves a watch, "For Brandon". (Lee that is! Not the other guy. Lol) But if you want to see his martial arts skills in action, you wont find it here. For a fine display of what Brandon learned from his father, I suggest Rapid Fire - 1992. Again, you'll thank me later. Lol

TBR Schmitt

We've seen these! But totally would have made for fun reactions! -Sam

TBR Schmitt

We have both seen The Exorcist, so we won't be able to do a reaction. Scarred Daniel for life haha -Sam

Demos Samolis

The Crow was Brandon Lees last movie (son of Bruce Lee) and im sure you guys know that he died on the set of the movie just like Bruce Lee did. The movie was a huge blockbuster. Even if it doesnt win the poll please give that a chance or watch it on your own then. It was a fantastic film.

Demos Samolis

Agree 100 percent. The best one of the franchise!!!

Demos Samolis

That was definitely creepy

Demos Samolis

How is it The Crow is not winning this??? 28 days later was ok. There were way better zombie movies then that

YoureMrLebowski

Yes, a spot on the next poll would be appropriate.

Murphy

I'd recommend Jordan Peele's films Us and Get Out.

Ken Veader

Yup, that and Prince Of Darkness are super underrated

Ken Veader

great 90's horror film

Shayds

Stir of Echoes

Sergeant Pepper

Preach brother.

Jason Chirevas

Since most of the suggestions here don’t go back much further than last week, heh, I’ll suggest 1931’s FRANKENSTEIN, which remains the best and most potent of what’s become known as the Universal Monsters canon. It’s a very dark movie, tonally and visually, and has some stark scenes of inhumanity and violence. It also has some German expressionist elements, if you look for that sort of thing, and is the only movie from that era I’d say retains the power to unnerve and disturb an audience. We hear FRANKENSTEIN rightly referred to as a “classic” all the time but it’s a legit masterpiece. Essential viewing.

Jason Chirevas

Condolences, Sam. 😔

Chris Bruneau

Agreed! The novel scared the crap outta me!!!

KevG

Hahahahahaha. Hereditary got us both Sam. Midsommar is not even close to that intense. For sure you guys have to see "The Exorcist"

Miles E Coburn

"The Changeling" (1980) "The Birds" (1963) "The Shining" (1997 TV miniseries) "The Stand" (1994 TV miniseries) "The Exorcist" (1973 Extended Director's Cut) "The Frighteners" (1996) And of course, there myriad monster / horror movies from the 50s and 60s. These include the "Big Bug", "Science Gone Wrong", "Classic Monsters" sub-genres. One of my favorite comedy / horror (with much, much more comedy than horror) "Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein" (1948). Frankenstein, Dracula, the Wolf Man, and a special surprise guest.

David Martin

Excellent idea! And I really like the remake (especially the final scene), it's just that I think you should always start with the original.

Jeff Phillips

Yeah I’m an idiot lol.

TBR Schmitt

LOL these polls are for October! 😊 -Sam

TBR Schmitt

We have seen all of the Final Destination films! -Sam

TBR Schmitt

It’s on the Slasher Poll! 😊 -Sam

TBR Schmitt

It took a lot for me to put Midsommar on this poll after Hereditary haha -Sam

TBR Schmitt

We did! -Sam

Thomas Yanez

Well, at least the first two. Then for my money, first time reactors should segue into "The Return of the Living Dead" for the twist on the genre and the origin of the fast zombie sub-genre.

Sergeant Pepper

Hereditary is your guy's masterpiece. Therefore Midsommer must win. Even if it doesn't... do it anyway for the hardcore fans! Both movies are scary/wtf movies - but while Hereditary leans toward scary, Midsommer definitely leans toward wtf - so there's less chance of post viewing nightmares.

Thomas Yanez

When you have a high profile classic/remake combo like this, I always wish the reactors would double-feature them.

YoureMrLebowski

Big fan of your performance in Hereditary (2018), so Midsommar (2019) got a vote, but I'm hoping that 28 Days Later (2002) wins the poll.

Odd Thomas

I think they've done this already

Odd Thomas

Agreed

Odd Thomas

Agreed

Odd Thomas

Anything by James Wan: The Conjuring, Malignant, Dead Silence, Insidious

Ancestor of Freedom

Event horizon always spooked the hell outta me. Sam Neil and Lawrence Fishbourne

Smooticus

In the Mouth of Madness and Prince of Darkness are both really good also. Very under appreciated IMHO.

Future Boy

I think the original trilogy should be watched first too. Then the remakes for Dawn of the Dead (2004) and Night of the Living Dead (1990) are both great and worth watching too.

Nick Sneddon

yep great film

Nick Sneddon

Agreed – it’s a great remake

Nick Sneddon

It HAS the be The Omen! One of the creepiest films you’ll ever see The Witch is an absolutely fantastic film, however its not for everyone The Crow is a terrible film, cant believe people are voting for it

Robin Cederholm

Agreed! This is a little gem of a horror movie that often get overlooked.

Robin Cederholm

This! You ought to watch all three of those and then go on to other zombie movies to really get into that sub genre with the "right" perspective. Dawn of the Dead 2004 for example is a great flick, but you should know the genre before watching it.

Robin Cederholm

Gah, so many movies on this list I want you to react to! :O Picking one is hard...

Jeff Phillips

Saw (2004) and It (2017) are two more to add if you haven’t watched them.

Samolina Pilchard

I also recommend Don't Look Now , Directed by Nicholas Roeg. I wouldn't call it horror exactly, more psychological suspense/mystery, with supernatural elements. Roeg has a great visual style to his movies . Great setting in Venice Italy and a definite 70s vibe

Jeff Phillips

Child’s Play (1988) is great and you are introduced to Chucky! - can u add that one also?

Jeff Phillips

Nightmare on elm st 3 Dream Warriors is the best of the series. Can u add that one?

Samolina Pilchard

Have you already seen The Exorcist? It's curiously absent from this list of iconic horror movies. Definitely would recommend if you haven't seen it.

kbobravo

I would love to see the Kevin Bacon film Stir of Echoes on the list. One of the better horror films of the 90s. Very unique.

kbobravo

In the Mouth of Madness is probably John Carpenter's most underrated film.

platinum476

28 Days Later might win this, but Dawn Of The Dead as far as I know was THE BEST remake of George A. Romero’s.

Walter White

Not sure if you guys have seen it but could u pleasee add Final Destination (2000) to the next poll

Domino

The Autopsy of Jane Doe (2016) is such a good horror film and incredibly underrated. I highly recommend it. I love horror and there is not a single movie that has ever scared me so I'm always looking for more, and while The Autopsy of Jane Doe didn't frighten me, it is very eerie and it kept me on the edge of my seat which was very refreshing for a change!

David Martin

A case can be made for many movies that the remake is better in certain areas than the original. But that ignores the era the movie (or record) is from and the effect on the audience. King Kong scared the audience practically to death when it was released, but is "not scary" today. I think the original film or record should always be viewed first before going on to the remake(s). Just my opinion.

Mike keith

I already told you guys. DO NOT watch Midsommar. It's a great movie, but it's insanely depressing. If you feel like you must watch it, make sure to watch the director's cut, it's 30 minutes longer, it expands the storyline.

Mike keith

The 1978 version is fantastic, it's way scarier.

Ken Veader

Night of the Living Dead (1968) , Dawn of the Dead (1978) and Day of the Dead (1985) are the original Zombie trilogy of George Romero and really what defined the genre. Definitely worth doing that trilogy before other zombie films

David Martin

Why the remake of Invasion of the Body Snatchers and not the original? Bad decision.

Richard

Agreed night of the living dead is great

Logan Kerlee

Ya'll rock, seriously. This is the best community. It makes me so happy to see The Crow winning this poll. While I do wish that we were watching it on Halloween and not in August/September, I'm thrilled that it's leading the poll. :) This one's a long time childhood fave of mine. Yeah, I watched this as a kid once it was released on VHS, my mo bought it for me. This movie scared me and it thrilled me, as a boy. This came out in 1994, and I watched it probably in 1995 or 1996, so I was 7 or 8 years old at the time. Farrrr too young to watch this, but I did anyway and I enjoyed it. I hope that it actually wins and that we all get to watch TBR's reaction to it. :)

Aaron Barlow

Also the Conjuring and Annabelle movies are a must see. Paranormal activity series is also good.

Armchair Rizzard

Please let the Crow win. Its such an under watched film. That, or the Omen.

Aaron Barlow

There are too many great movies here guys. The Omen is a must see classic, so is Pet Semetary and the Crow. The Witch is also amazing.

Jason Chirevas

I voted for five movies on this one but my favorite is certainly IN THE MOUTH OF MADNESS, which is the uncrowned gem of John Carpenter’s career. Saying that, the best movie on the poll is NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD, which quite literally invented a subgenre and remains probably its best entry to this day.

Jonathan Patrick

Pet Semetary, hands down. Classic. Recommendations.. The Serpent and the Rainbow (1987) Silver Bullet (1985) Poltergeist 2 (1986) Pumpkinhead (1988) The Monster Squad (1987) Interview with A Vampire (1994) The Lost Boys (1987) Flatliners (1990)
