I've never wavered. I think the original Texas Chain Saw Massacre is the best horror film ever made.

When I was big on making lists like 10-15 years ago, Psycho was generally on top. Re-Animator, The Evil Dead, Halloween kinda rounded out the top 4, I think. TCSM was definitely in the top 50 if I ever made one.

Today, though. After letting all these movies sit for so many years, wisdom and experience settling in, my choice is probably Friday the 13th IV: The Final Chapter. The ultimate slasher film in the ultimate horror franchise.

It's a good pick. I like 2 & 3 more, but 4 is kinda the defining slasher movie IMO.

Friday is just the GOAT movie franchise for me. In any genre. The run of quality from 1-6 are unmatched by any other franchise.

I choose to compartmentalize and consider The New Beginning to be the last legit installment. So I agree. Five very good movies in a row.

i thought we all had our own favorite? mine is nightmare on elm street.

It's hard for me to pick a favorite. There are quite a few I've loved as if they were #1. Many I feel are still deserving.

what are your top 10? how many do you love as if they're the #1?

I don't have a top ten. It's too hard to rank at this point.

Randomly...
Halloween, The Evil Dead, Phantasm, Re-Animator, The Fog, The Thing, Sleepaway Camp, Near Dark, Silent Night Deadly Night, among many others...

all respectable films. a couple make my 10 too.

It's my birthday weekend, I didn't plan shit since I was supposed to deal with the fallout from surgery, but since they shitcanned that, I'm on ER watch, so I can think of nothing better than to spend it with you beautiful people. Reign's Weekend, come one come all, we will group sesh some shit, listen to some tunes, partake in your favorite party favors. Keep it loose, nothing planned but the Departed so far.

it's all gonna come down to the thing, probably. and second, the fly. after that, will probably be harder to settle onto.

The Blob will be up there too, I'm sure.
