Favorite Altime Horror movies:

[Agnew420]

I had this conversation with my sketch book group the other night, and we decided that the subject of horror movies itself was too general. Thus we broke it up into subgenres.

What is your favorite horror movie? (by genre)

1. slasher flick or horror movie heavy (ie a flick with a single badguy, like Jason, Freddy, Leatherface etc)

2. zombie flick

3. pure gore, blood and guts

4. monster flick

5. sci-fi

6. torture

7. Comedic

my list goes thusly:
1. Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974)
2. Dawn of the Dead (2004)
3. Saw (all)
4. The Thing (1982)
5. Aliens
6. Wolf Creek tie with the Hills Have Eyes (2006)
7. Dead Alive
