Just figured why not as we were discussing them anyway haha.
For me ....
Best:
Anything in the Friday the 13th series (yes I am bias here) EXCEPT for Jason Goes to Hell and Jason X because those movies were absolute SHIT.
Scream - The Original One Only
The Signal - (I know there is another movie by the same name which is completely different) This one had people start killing each other because some kind of subliminal mind control was being pumped through the TV/Radio etc.
Worst:
Alone In The Dark - 2005 ... shortly before I moved to Texas for 8 years my brother, his best friend and I got a movie (and from a video store too! Yes those once existed lol) anyhow, his friend picked the movie ... this movie and needless to say, he lost his movie picking privileges after that. This movie was the biggest pile of horrendous shit I have ever seen in my life. Also, came to find out it was a Uwe Boll film ... nuff said there.
They - Ironically enough a Wes Craven film. The movie itself ... what there was of it wasn't necessarily "bad" it was just the fact that this movie had a real good build up and that was it. I think the movie was barely over an hour and when you get to the climax point of the movie where you've been building on and then expect to be taken wildly to the finish ... it didn't happen. Build, build, build ... movie over WTF?

Best:
Friday the 13th, yeah I know biased too lol, I did hate Jason goes to hell and fug the director who thought it'd be a great idea to take Jason out of the mix. Jason x I didn't hate merely for the fact the kills were cool, other than that fug taking stuff to space (I'm looking at you Leprechaun in space)
I loved the scream movies as well, it brought real life to the horror genre but it also knew horror movies were a thing. Jamie Kennedy was the best.
I have to give props to newer horror because we admit horror icons became campy and funny... So I give credit to the guy behind Insidious movies and The Conjuring movies.
Worst:
M. Night you bastard, I went into watching the visit thinking it was going to be this horror movie and it ended up being shit stacked on top of shit. It was so bad. I never wanted to leave a movie so bad in my life.
The Boy was pretty bad, but I only watched it because Maggie was in it... I guess I wish it would've been the movie I thought it was.
Any 2 to 3 star movie on Netflix lol
Horror movies FTW

I watched "it" when I was a kid pretty much and I already isn't like clowns, so it was towards the top. Also "the ring" kinda f'ed with my emotions but it was 2 am, I was alone, and I was perhaps delivery the effects of a hallucinogenic trip. But the chicks face that was on the closet floor was body rocking scary the first time I watched it.
Worst, gotta be anything in the leprechaun series.

Best: (original) Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Sinister is actually very good
Worst: Blair Witch 2 (Didn't even have original Directors, etc.) Terrible!
Halloween 3...it had NOTHING to do with Michael Myers at all. It was about mind control with kids putting on Halloween masks...wtf?
Trolls 2--- Had nothing to do with original movie, and it was actually about Goblins that turn people in plants and eat them, because they are vegetarians (almost sounds like Soylent Green lol) And, you can see the 'Goblin' Velcro tabs, and costume ties. And they were bad costumes and acting..lmao

It will be just something you don't expect, and initially perceive his movie will be a horror, and it's NOT! lol So, I liked it a lot because I knew going in that it wasn't a horror, Bish. (Like the Village....) |

Okay so the visit obviously wasn't a horror movie but to say it was good is laughable. There's so many flaws in that movie, like you're going to tell me the mom isn't going to check up on her kids and not meet the parents before the kids get sent there. It was poorly done and there's no changing my opinion on that fact

Trick R Treat is the best, along with Bram Stoker's Dracula and Alien.
Worst ever is probably Troll 2 and basically all the Human Centipedes.
Worst of the popular ones would be Halloween 5, Freddy's Dead and Jason X.

That was the whole point.. M. night self-financed the movie, and she reluctantly went on the cruise because she was a caring mother, so being at sea, it was hard to get any signal.. And, she Sid check on her kids a few times via Skype.
And, of course, the mother would figure the kids were in good hands because it was their 'grandparents' and not strangers... So, she had no reason to think different... And not knowing the old people killed her own relatives.. I mean, who would ever think that because she dropped them off, and the mother never really knew her 'husbands' parents, but she knew where they lived.... So, the mother did check in as best as she could be, considering she was International waters..
And, M. Night. purposely said he wanted to do something 'backwards'...instead of a straight horror.. He wanted to make use of everyone doing 'found footage,' but have a horror/thriller spin, that has more comedic elemenets than any horror film, so it keeps you on different emotion and sets you up with the twist of the old people being escaped dementia patients from a local rest home that has mental patients with issues...

Oh and ... this might be unpopular idk but, I've always thought the Child's Play movies were stupid. All of them, not just the later ones.
I just ... I'm sorry but to me seeing a grown adult running away from a foot tall doll just makes zero sense, ever. I don't give a shit if it has a knife or not, punt kick that mother fucker into the next town. It's a doll that weighs 5 pounds max ... seriously wtf?

Hulking guy with painted William Shatner mask and a butcher knife = See ya!
My Buddy doll with a knife = LOL

The scariest horror movies for me? I'd have to say The Exorcist. That stuff is real, and that's what made it scary. I'm not worried about vampires, or zombies, or anything like that, but demons possessing people? Yea, that's terrifying.
The worse horror movie? I don't know, there's so many of them. I love watching B movies, because I view them as comedies. Maybe "Dead Snow" was supposed to be a scary movie, but I laughed my butt off. Vampire movies tend to bore me, aside from certain ones, Werewolf movies also bore me. Zombie movies have been so stupid in the past, but The Walking Dead made it a great story, and so I don't mind them now. Some movies have been so bad that I've fallen asleep during them, sadly I can't remember those movies.

Favorite Movie - Christine - Terrible acting, bu somehow the movie really grabs your attention, and when it's over, you wish it wasn't. You just keep wanting more. Don't care that the movie is vastly different than the book. It's my favorite book, too.
Worst movie - Scorpion King 5 - just .. just .. the worst movie ... ever. Please do not make me relive this wasted 88 minutes of my life.

Best I've seen lately was probably the den (b rate Netflix movie) but it's definitely worth a watch
As far as scary goes most terrifying thing I ever watched was the first Blair witch project. But to be fair I was young and a Pansy ass and it seemed to real for me at the time
Worst I've watched is probably any of the paranormal activity movies I hated those movies either those or the original cloverfield. It was fucking stupid.

I liked the paranormal movies for the story of it all and the one where the guy gets taken out by the house full of witches, dude, tell me you wouldn't shit yourself if all those chicks were around you with the black demon eyes? Then he gets bent in half backwards!

Oh, man.
Best: Nightmare on Elm Street franchise (Although this one comes with it's goofier moments, I'm a mark for basically everything except New Nightmare and the remake which was "decent" but disappointing due to a lackluster and overinvested storybuild to a character that all of us watching already knew)
Friday The 13th Remake (Call me a douche for listing the remake here as I will with a couple others on my best list, but this was fucking fantastic. It took a top tier slasher and made him a bigger threat than before imo. The hunting and trapping aspect was this cool sort of touch that I loved.)
Wrong Turn series (THE best gorefest series of all time. It's about the kill and establishes the cannibals as interesting characters which is the key to a great slasher.)
Rob Zombie's first Halloween remake (Fucking bravo. I list this for one major reason and that is the ugly little shit who plays young Michael. It's actually bone chilling how good that kid did at portraying a fucking nutjob. Hats off to this shit.)
The Devil's Rejects (Do I need to say more? Iconic cult following flick of the highest degree)
The Birds (Actually a terrifying concept not too far outside of reality)
The Cabin in the Woods (Because it's just fun. Most of my favorites are things I just had fun with)
Troll 2 (Is it terrible as fuck? Yes. Is it also so terrible that it becomes an enjoyable and hilarious show of poor amateur theater level acting? Yes again.)
Worst: Insidious (Just all of them. Just awful. There's jump scares being used well on occasion, but this whole series is a shitfest made to target the weak will of those annoying fucks in the movie theater who let out an exaggerated scream every 5 minutes. Just bad all around.)
