Top Ten Favorite Horror Films and Series

11/01/2022 (darn, too late for Halloween!)

Horror is my favorite genre for film, writing and video games. For the site’s first Halloween, I am going to list my ten favorite horror films and series. Please note that this is not necessarily the top ten best horror films- I haven’t seen enough of the classics to make a full conclusion regarding that. Even with what I have seen, some of the objectively best horror films are not my favorites. This list is going to have the sillier, exciting, fun and possibly absurd films that are always a blast to watch. There is definitely going to be a bias toward zombie films in this list as it is my favorite subgenre (and maybe in the near future, I will do a list of just zombie films.) I am not particularly fond of possession type films or anything with ghosts; science fiction elements, humor and gore are appealing to me, but may not be appealing to everybody. Technical prowess is also something that I lean favorable on, as I love seeing how special effects are made to be as realistic and convincing as possible.


For some of these entries I am going to lump in a sequel or series if the quality is comparable and it’s hard to pick my favorite. Each entry will have a short explanation for why I picked it and my personal history with the film(s) if applicable. Now that I have provided some context for my list, here are my top ten favorite horror films:
