Seriously, dude. Where's "Duel" and "It"?

Some good entries, but an overall PATHETIC list.

Uh... TRILOGY OF TERROR is not on the list?

FINALY dark night has come to dvd. this is one of those films that has been one of my "what was that movie called". going into my collection right next to the wraith.

Wow...you guys need to chill out. These lists will never directly cater to your likes because they are opinions. You really need to understand that people will have opinions that differ from your own. If you don't like it, you don't really have to read it.

"Don't Go To Sleep" was a brillaint made for TV horror movie! The pizza cutter rolling up the railing of the staircase, such horrific imagery!!

Bro_mole, i think we all know that the list is ONE person's opinion, duh. we are allowed to give our opinions too. anyways, i'm excited that Dark Night is finally coming on to DVD. i watched it online recently and it STILL stands up as an atmospheric and creepy movie!

Dark Night of the Scarecrow, The Night Stalker, Salem's Lot and Werewolf all excellent choices, and all helped cement my interest in horror in one way or another.

"The Haunted (1991)" is really good, too.

My list has to include Bad Ronald, Midnight Offerings, Don't be Afraid of The Dark, Don't go to Sleep, and Wes Craven's Chiller. If you haven't seen them they are worth checking out

gorefreak said it all... "we all float down here georgie..."

Yeah... where is Trilogy of Terror?

You know you guys at BD put these lists together just to see what we say. I mean, you do know that you are forgetting a lot of good shit. Where's The Woman in Black and When a Stranger Calls Back and It. As well as some other flicks you see us mentioning here. But you are right - it does get us talking.......

Good list. This is the first time this guy has actually posted a list of any merit. You actually sound like a genre fan with this one, instead of a smartass Internet cliche. Maybe you're learning? Good assortment of flicks here, nontheless.

Was Trilogy of Terror a tv movie? If that's the case that should have been number 1. Who doesn't know about that little Zuni doll? Fuck this list.

I agree with Coldblood, and yep Trilogy of Terror is a TV movie. It deserves to be on the list.

Thanks for adding Salem's Lot, great stuff!

Where is The Stand?

Uh, the DVD for Dark Night of the Scarecrow has only been announced, not actually released (got me excited there for a minute). And I know this list is only for fun, but not including Trilogy of Terror or Duel is unacceptable.

Hey coldblood, these lists are put together as one person's opinion and obviously they won't hit everybody's top picks. Hell, I know I would have put it together differently and I'm sure MrD would have too. The discussion after is half the fun and we love seeing what you guys think and would add. That's the point of these articles, some fun discussion to change things up a bit. Thankfully for every "fuck this list" there are a few actually productive opinions and comments.

Dark Night of the Scarecrow is available on DVD transfers across the web. I'm waiting for the Blu-Ray, though.

If any staff members read this, I have a suggestion for a future list. Do "The 10 Most Overrated Horror Films of all time" and "The Best Foreign Horror Films of all time."

hey! you forgot Mr. Boogedy!!! and IT!

Thanks to all. It's tough to confine these things to ten only. Unfortunately, there's really no way to make everyone happy, without maybe doing a top 67 or something. Please keep in mind these lists represent my opinion only. What else could they represent? It's not like sports where you can definitely list the top 10 home runner hitters of all time. It's all subjective, folks. Hope you still enjoy reading!

I agree that Trilogy of Terror should be on the list. I couldnt sleep for a week when I saw that as a child. Nice to see Salems lot though...I think it holds up better than some of the Theatrical Stephen King adaptations. Heck it holds up better than alot of Movies! And that scene in BBC's Dracula where he pulls out the baby for his ladies...just gave me a chill and I have never forgotten it. I think I was 6 or 7?

I'm missing Storm of the Century, Don't Be Afraid of The Dark, Duel, This House Possessed, The Babysitter,

THE HAUNTED (1991) starring Sally Kirkland is the scariest made-for-tv movie I've ever seen. Too bad it didn't make the cut.

wheres It and the carrie made for tv remake?

WHAT???? NO V? V IS THE BEST!!!!!!!!!1

Thanks for not adding 'It'. That always gets too much credit. pennywise is amazing, but the rest of the cast blows and the running time is unbelievably hard to get through.

I didn't feel the need to include "It" because I did not really like "It". Tim Curry is great, but as a whole its no great shakes, and completely falls apart at the end with the "giant spider vs. asthma inhaler" sequence. Salem's Lot is head and shoulders above it.

Another great one is "Something Is Out There." More sci-fi in some ways, but has some genuinely scary/shocking scenes and a surprising amount of gore for a TV movie.

Dugg! To anyone who doesnt like this list, go outside and get some sunlight! :D

Uh, how about the most watched sci-fi movie original? ALIEN APOCALYPSE come on, it was fun. it had The Bruce. What more do you want? aside from Evil Dead 4... Sam...

man, i thought i was the only one that remembered Gargoyles. i fuckin love that movie but i've never been able to find it on dvd. also, i seriously wish they'd bring werewolf the series out on dvd, i remember watchin that shit when i was a kid and i loved it.

Where is 'IT'?!?!? What The Fuck B-D?

killrobot; I know I said "fuck this list", but I also expressed an opinion before that - twice in fact. I know they do these lists to get us talking. So I said something..... Normally I always say "fuck the Prom Night remake" (it's kind of my calling card), I thought 'fuck this list' would be a nice change. :)

Gargoyles rules one of the 1st DVDs I ever Bought! Thanks for remembering Lost Classic!

Haha, gotcha. Yeah I saw your comments, I actually meant to lump your comment in with the "productive" ones when I replied. Anyways, I agree with keeping IT off the list, but I definitely would have bumped "The Strange Case of Dr. Jeckyll & Mr. Hyde" off there too.

Yes GARGOYLES RULE! Anyone remember FROGS very CREEPY!

Yeah, Trilogy Of Terror should've made the list, as well as The Night Strangler. And lest we forget the dumbest movie ever made for TV, The Werewolf Of Woodstock!

the reason that the "carrie" tv remake isn't on the list is because it absolutely fucking blows. an insult to the original.

Where the hell is "It" and "The Stand"?

Remove: Strange Case of Jekyll & Hyde, Frankenstein: The True Story, Curse of The Blair Witch, The Night Stalker and Count Dracula and replace with: Don't Be Afraid of The Dark, Trilogy of Terror, It, Ants, and The Dark Secret of Harvest Home! Other worthy mentions: Devil Dog: Hound From Hell, The Devil's Triangle, When A Stranger Calls...BACK!, Day of The Triffids ( BBC miniseries), Home For The Holidays and Tommyknockers. -RHR

Mr. Boogedy, yes! I'm so happy somebody else remembers that movie! And of course, "IT" really should be on this list, but at least it got an honorable mention.

CROWHAVEN FARM gave me nightmares as a kid. Loved that last scene, and the line: "We'll be keeping an eye on you.."

Some good stuff. Three of my personal faves are Invitation to Hell, Storm of the Century, and Devil Dog: The Hound of Hell.

You see. They come up with this bullshit list just to get us talking. The people at BD know this list blows, and they knew it would get us to respond. Kudos to them. And fuck the Prom Night remake.

IT???????????

what about 6 Films to Keep You Awake? (all six of them are better than 90% of this list)

Salem's Lot was a good one. A friend of mine, to this day, still gets creeped out by the boy in the window. Good stuff!!! There was one that came out with Jennifer Jason Lee & the guy that played Mr.Peltzer in Gremlins called Buried Alive. It was a decent flick. I think it came out on USA network or something. Not sure!!! "We've got Jason upstairs & Cujo in the backyard"-----Buried Alive.

I enjoyed Curse of the Blair Witch more than the movie itself. I'm a doc hound. I've got over 400 hrs. of doc footage about horror, supernatural, ufo's, bigfoot, lochness monster, ect. Don't ya' just love that shit? If only Universal would get their shit together & release The Shark is Still Working. Over three hours of footage made by fans, for the fans. Can't fuckin' wait!!!! "When he runs, you drop that rope, or you'll lose your hands"-----Jaws.

hell yeah "IT" should have totally made this list

I always kind of wanted to see the curse of the blair witch. Guess now I have an excuse to check it out.

"When Michael Calls" (also known as "Shattered Silence") is actually really awful. I watched a VHS tape of it last October. Here's the review I wrote at the time: Today I watched a VHS tape of a 1972 made-for-TV movie that was originally broadcast under the title When Michael Calls but is known as Shattered Silence on home video. It's about a woman named Helen who receives phone calls from someone claiming to be Michael, her nephew who died fifteen years earlier. Shattered Silence is pretty awful on many levels: at the end when the viewer learns what's really been happening, the motivations and methodology of the "bad guy" make little sense. The plot includes a couple of murders in which the guy revealed at the end as the antagonist had no reason to want the victims dead. The only interesting aspect of the film is the phone calls from "Michael," some of which are genuinely chilling like one in which he screams "I'm dead, aren't I? I'm dead." Don't waste your time on this one despite the promising premise.

So many of the Stephen King horror movies missing from here.

thanks killrobot for the response. And Bloody Disgusting should have a list for the Top 10 Kills.

That's so cool!! I never knew that Salem's Lot, Gargoyle's and Dark Night of the Scarecrow were made for television!

Like a lot of people here, I was surprised "Trilogy of Terror" wasn't on this list. I mean come on, it's a classic!! I would also add "Fear No Evil" from 1969 starring, strangely enough, Louis Jourdan.

does anyone here remember the movie the car?also,i believe there was a sequeal to mr.boogedy....

NO STAND NO IT NO OTHER STEPHEN KING MOVIES besides salem's lot u should have put the shity remake up no nightmares and dreamscapes this site just keeps on selling out wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wasn't Mazes & Monsters a "Made-For-TV" movie? I only remember it because once my mom saw it, I wasn't allowed to play D&D anymore...lol. Salems Lot was one of my favorites as a kid. I barely remember it being a TV flick. And V was a fav too. Besides the movies they made for it, wasn't it a half-ass series too?

I thought these were good choices. The only one that I think could have been on here is "Don't Be Afraid of the Dark". I think I heard Del Toro was even thinking about making a remake of that one. As far as "Werewolf" goes I am still pissed and waiting for that to come out on DVD. Excellent series.

I concur with coldblood. I suggested a greatest deaths list a few months back. My #1 is, of course, Quint's death in the movie Jaws. The scene where you see Quint's face as he's reaching for Brody's hand, is the purest look of terror that I've ever seen in a horror film. Marilyn Burns in the original (& best) Texas Chainsaw Massacre is second. In my humble opinion of course. She's the ultimate screamer of horror. Another great death scene is the exploding head in the film Scanners. So Classic!!!

The Marilyn burns comment is only based on her performance(purest look of terror). I know she didn't die in the film. Just clarifying that!!! A couple o' more cool deaths: Jack's death in An American Werewolf in London. The Nazi's melting in Raiders of the Lost Ark. Jason's NATURAL demise in Friday 4. Just a few among hundreds.

DONT GO TO SLEEP deserves a slot on there.

Gargoyles rules, Dule is missing. Good list, tho.

Duel isn't made for TV or atleast when I watched it that didn't seem to be the case. Now I really want you guys at BD to look at 2006's Jekyll that was so damn good it was awesome stuff. Anyway I believe "the Stand" and the New Andromeda strain deserve shout outs not places on the countdown but shout outs atleast

And concerning horror comic adaptaion: Crow was a short story then a movie THEN a comic. Dark Knight isn't horror it's a crime drama taken to the edge of what is not considered insane. And lastly Spawn is not a demon he's a guy who is covered in a demonic symobite

what the fuck happened to IT??????????????????????

"You're gonna die clown"-----Happy Gilmore.

"I hate you, I hate you, I hate you"----Poltergeist.

Great List. But "It" should have been there (except for the stupid monster at the end,.... then again, maybe you're right). "Invasion" sucked. How about "Aztec Rex" from the Scifi channel?

......IT died okay it died because of the stupid monster at the end

I call shenanigans on this list. Yeah, you don't want to go with the obvious, I get it - like people who make a top 10 list of horror's greatest who leave out the Exorcist or the original Texas Chain Saw Massacre. Tough titty. Don't Be Afraid of the Dark and Trilogy of Terror are two of the 2 best TV horror movies ever made, not to mention the top 10. Besides, Curse of the Blair Witch was only like an hour-long promo. Try again.

I think Juon AKA THe Grudge (which was first a made for TV movie) is to me the scariest one made. I think the Randy Quaid Frankenstein was a better movie than the Deniro one that came out that year and that one was a TNT original film.

No mention of Don't be Afraid of the Dark or Trilogy of Terror?!?!? I call shenanigans!!!

"They cut his fuckin' head off man"----Hunter's Blood.

Peter Benchley's, The Beast, was decent for a t.v. flick. It was on NBC in '96. It could've used some additional editing of un-necessary footage. Maybe a little more o' the red stuff as well. William Petersen & Larry Drake starred in it. Not too bad for a t.v. thingy, but a few more tweaks were needed. I'm Quint's Machete, & I approve this comment!!!!

"I'll make some depth-charges, & turn the sucker into catfood"-----The Beast.

Very cool list, but I would have loved to see Bad Ronald on there. So fucking creepy.

Hi all, first post, long time follower of B-D. Maybe no one has mentioned this one: "Something Evil". First televised in early 72, (I was 9 and NOT well after seeing it, lol). Very rarely shown again, if at all. Glowing eyes by a window, a chilling baby's cry and some mysterious jars in a barn are some of the details I can recall. Oh, yeah, it was directed by some guy named Stevie Spielberg. Any one remember it?

Hails to Salem's Lot!!

Salem's Lot (1979) Starring David Soul, Lance Kerwin, the complete 183- minute version is definatly the best horror tv-movie ever made. The shame is that most people have only seen the much shorter less than 2 hours version. The remake wih Rob Lowe was garbage. Here are some tv-movies that scared me in my youth: Something Evil (1972-tv), starring Sandy Dennis, John Whitaker. Something about the heart in the jar in the kitchen cabinet that scared me so. The Stranger Within (1974-tv), starring Barbara Eden. Every book this woman touched her unborn baby would absorb the knowledge of and she had this thing about salt. Satan's Triangle (1975-tv) starring Kim Novak, Alejandro Rey, Doug McClure. 'Til this day, that tv-movie still gives me the creeps. Should be on DVD, but is not. Trilogy of Terror (1975-tv), Starring Karen Black. One of the stories has Karen Black being terrorized by a stabbing voodoo doll. They made a 1996 sequel. The Possession of Mrs. Oliver (1977-tv). Karen Black in the best performance of her career. This should be on DVD too, but is not.

I think an honorable mention should go out to The Deliberate Stranger with Mark Harmon as Ted Bundy. The scenes where he is putting on the charm to get girls into his car just to go into a rage after they are there are truly creepy. Not available on DVD but worth tracking down an old VHS.

Not a bad list, although for my money THE STAND was the best mini-series I saw...just saying....

Good list overall. i would have just taken out jeckyll & hyde, and honestly i hate anything blair witch. IT and The Stand would've been awesome

M-o-o-n. that spells awesome.

I dont agree with this list completly as some do not belong on this list

Most of these sound pretty crappy, except Jack Palance is the man!

Where is "IT"??? Still, a great movie to watch when you have 5 or so hours to kill!!!

In 1969 there was an excellent TV movie with Louis Jordan, Caroll o'connner, Linda Day George and Wilfred-Hyde White called FEAR NO EVIL...directed by Paul Wendkos...I wish I could find a copy...it was eerie as hell! Another good one was SOMETHING EVIL...starring Sandy Dennis and Darrin Mcgavin directed by Steven Speilberg! Really pretty good! I was also impressed by the TURN OF THE SCREW adaptation with Valerie Bertinelli. But, FRANKENSTEIN-THE TRUE STORY is the best!

Where is IT!?? I am glad that Dark Night of the Scarecrow was on there. That seems to be a forgotten movie to people who dont know their horror movies. Im proud to own it.

I love Dark Night of the Scarecrow, but what about Midnight Offerings, that's the best witch movie ever

Where the hell is DUEL???

Nice list. I think Gargoyles is great, shlocky fun. Salems Lot (Full Version) is a truly great film. It is one of my favorite vampire flicks. And OMFG! Thanks for listing the BBC Count Dracula. I grew up watching that on PBS. I LOVED it but in my later years was never able to remember how/where I saw it. Very cool! Would have to add Trilogy of Terror to my own personal list. That little figurine thing scared the crap out of me!

I would have put When A Stranger Calls on the list. It was much better than the remake, I thought, and very suspenseful.

how was when a stranger calls back missed? it is better than the original.

There was a film called "Death in a Small Town" that was about Charlie Starkweather. Pretty good, I caught it on Lifetime if you can believe it. Most Lifetime movies are chick-flicks, but this one was surprisingly good.
