bucsfan333 Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 So many iconic movies that turned into sequels. So many movies that probably greatly expanded the genre of horror. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bucsfan333 Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 I think Aliens gets my first vote. That movie scared the crap out of me. And the series as a whole has a lot of iconic visuals. Nix that. Pet Semetary. Easily. Fred Gwynne can narrate my life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bucsfan333 Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 The Shining has to get a nom. It was a slowburn (as King likes to do). But it's so iconic. It's been memed to death. It's referenced ALL THE TIME. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 OK, let's get the icons out of the way: Halloween A Nightmare on Elm Street Friday 13th Hellraiser For @Outpost31, The Thing. Then for my favorites: Pumpkinhead, Children of the Corn, Scanners, The Shining, and Gremlins (not horror, but why not?) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Halloween is 1978 so not included in this one. 31 minutes ago, Malfatron said: noms: The Thing Return of the Living Dead Gremlins Evil Dead 2 They Live Predator The Terminator This ruins the movie for me, awesome story and idea but once it comes to a head and the monster is shown, wow what a disappointment and pretty stupid. Was about as bad of a monster as A Quiet Place honestly or that stupid spider thing in the original IT, the clown was way better than that damn spider thing. I gave The Thing 2 out of 5 stars just on that alone, cool idea but the imaginary idea was better that what actually happened in the film at the end. PS Predator I would include as Sci Fi and was anyone actually scared of it? I thought it was just cool and badass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacReady Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 (edited) Such an incredible decade. I nominate The Thing, even though it deserves it’s own genre. Because after all, it is... The Ultimate in Alien Terror. Edited February 21, 2020 by Outpost31 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
