George A. Romero’s Living Dead

A group of films that are truly classic horror flicks, with Night of the Living Dead being the zombie movie.

The Descent

Mixing an alarmingly tense spelunking movie with blood-thirsty monsters creates a sure-fire hit with great scares.

Pathology

Equal parts medical gore and deviant sex, this film is worth a look.

Re-Animator

From H.P. Lovecraft comes the tale of Dr. Herbert West, which combines horror and comedy to create a cult classic.

Dead & Breakfast

Laughs and blood are in equal supply in this innovative horror musical.

Bad Moon

Hands down one of the best werewolf movies of all time, featuring a German Shepherd vs. Werewolf battle royale.

Dead & Buried

A fun, oft-forgotten gem that delivers with the violence, mood, and plot twists.

Silent Hill

Awesome violence, spooky visuals, and a terrifying score make this a scary choice on any dark night.

John Carpenter’s The Thing

Regarded by the FSR Staff to be one of the greatest films ever, the scares are ever-present and the tension is through the roof.

Monster Squad

A campy, fun kid’s movie that finds a group of adolescents fighting off a cadre of classic monsters.

Sleepaway Camp

A truly unappreciated cult-classic that provides great kills and an unbelievably twisted ending.

The Return of the Living Dead

Sex, zombies, boobs, and blood in a world where George Romero’s films are based on fact. Watch it!

28 Days Later

Danny Boyle helps reinvigorate the zombie genre with this thrilling horror-film-on-crack.

The Brood

You’ll never look at children the same – unless you’ve always mistrusted them and wanted to kill them.

Dawn of the Dead

Zack Snyder blazes onto the scene with this intense and violent update of the Romero classic.

Nightbreed

Master of Horror writer Clive Barker’s ambitious tales of mutants and monsters.

Feast

A fun splatterhouse that stomps all over the rules of good taste and paints the bar red.

Cemetery Man

Cemetery Man is far from typical, but it is a beautiful, witty, violent zombie romp. It’s a thought-provoking zombie film.

The Lost Boys

An inspired blast of 80s horror cinema, featuring Kiefer Sutherland in a role that rivals Jack Baur in terms of bad-ass cred.

Bubba Ho-tep

Bruce Campbell and Ossie Davis absolutely own their characters in a strange and innovative horror comedy with heart.

Seven

A disturbing film with a fantastic ending, masterfully helmed by David Fincher.

Hammer Films’ Icons of Horror

The Hammer Films were crucial in the development of the modern horror genre.

Frontiere(s)

This one could easily be described as a combination of The Hills Have Eyes, Saw and Hostel; one hell of a horror film.

Who Can Kill a Child?

A cult classic that always seemed silly to us Rejects, as we can all easily kill children.

The Evil Dead

Bruce Campbell cements himself into the horror hall of fame with this awesome trilogy of blood, violence, laughs, and misogyny.

A Nightmare on Elm Street

Return to the original nightmare to remind yourself of a time when Freddy was actually frightening.

Halloween

John Carpenter’s horror classic brings the scares and an iconic masked killer to torment your nights.

Friday the 13th

The most iconic screen killer of all time slashes his way across a dozen films, leaving behind a trail of blood, breasts, and severed body parts.

The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad

When you’ve had your fill of blood, pop in this Disney classic to get a taste of childhood.

Dead Alive

It’s an offbeat and zany mix of romantic and physical comedy that also happens to be incredibly gory, and is probably best described as Evil Dead 2’s younger brother from New Zealand.

Pet Sematary

Pet Sematary is an underrated horror gem with memorable images and scenes that can carry over into nightmares.
