MY TOP 25 HORROR FILMS OF ALL TIME

[@salemslotandmore8278]

Thanks for the List and Video 😀

[@jamboshangotherandymolesmo5913]

Great list dude. Always interesting to watch someone else’s list. Always different

[@MuckMan_Movies]

I'm sure some people will be upset I didn't get Halloween into my Top 25 but the film's I chose had more of an impact on me. Thanks for watching.

[@jamboshangotherandymolesmo5913]

@@MuckMan_Movies lol. When I saw that I was surprised as it’s my fav horror of all time. But respect and loved the fact you included Blade 2

[@sunset9360]

Interesting selection. So many good horror movies to choose from, which is probably why the only film that comes into my top 25 that is in yours is The Exorcist. In my top 100 though are also your selections of The Thing, Rec, and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

[@MuckMan_Movies]

Like you say, the horror genre is so bountiful. It's a genre that will always produce an abundance of varying Top 25 lists. I could have easily done a Top 50 but didn't want to waffle on too long.

[@sunset9360]

Yes you should do, even a top 100, as would be enjoyable. Part of the variety of the lists is also due to how people classify the genre as for example some include thrillers and sci-fi in the horror genre.@@MuckMan_Movies

[@tenbones545]

I Saw The Devil did not leave me for days, the ending especially. Also Suspiria has some incredibly beautiful shots/colors. Also enjoyed Phenomena. And by the time it winded down i predicted your number one. :D nice list!

[@MuckMan_Movies]

@@tenbones545 thank you 🙏🏼

[@WilkysMoviesandMusic]

Great list and you have some really great editions of the films!

I'm not a big fan of the horror genre but Night of The Demon left a lasting impression on me. One of the best films ever made.

[@keithjohansen9943]

Thanks for sharing your favorites, love the brief but interesting commentary you give for each film. A few more movies added to my watchlist now.

[@MuckMan_Movies]

Thanks for watching

[@vgmastercleveland]

Heard about the upcoming sequel to It Follows? I'm excited personally

[@MuckMan_Movies]

Yes, I'm equally excited and apprehensive about a sequel. I just hope they don't ruin the whole mythology of the first film. Not sure I approve of Maika Munroe returning. I'd have preferred a different story away from her story arc.

[@DAP-mi7ck]

Good video, enjoyed watching.

[@jeffprice7474]

You have a good mix of different stuff from different times, I love that. I might have different opinions about some of the films, but all of them are definitely good ones. I personally have a hard time deciding on one top movie for myself. The Thing is probably it for me too, it has been a constant favorite since I was a kid in the 80s and that movie along with some of Carpenter's other films are probably the biggest reason I'm a horror fan. Good list, a few I haven't seen and I will try to check out, because the ones I have seen on your list are all good. Thank you.

[@MuckMan_Movies]

Hi Jeff, thanks for the comments. Which ones haven't you seen?

[@jeffprice7474]

Onibaba, I Saw The Devil, The Tale Of Two Sisters, and Martyrs. I know of Marytrs and I Saw The Devil but hadn't watched them yet. I don't believe I've heard of the other two but all four are now on my list.

[@iknowtheboss4870]

good list, thanks big man.

[@bookfantastic]

Fantastic survey! By about number five, I guessed your number one. I like your short, clipped reviews -- how you get to the point. I need to check out a few of these I haven't seen. Missing for me is Robert Wise's The Haunting, which is one of my favorite and scariest of all time. A very enjoyable review.

[@MuckMan_Movies]

@@bookfantastic Thank you for the nice comments. The Haunting is Indeed an excellent horror. It scared the bejezus out of me when I was younger.

[@amsalespush]

I remember watching Martyrs at a film festival here in Hamburg. The festival manager came into the cinema, looked at the audience and said "You are all very sick!" Usually, I do not like horror movies, but that one is amazing.

[@MuckMan_Movies]

Yeah, its not a comfortable watch for sure, but it's very impactful. I've managed to watch it twice now but I know a lot of people said they could never watch it again. A brutal and unforgiving movie but extremely well made. Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@BrianR2395]

If you want to see a truly "impactful" horror movie (sort of), try watching IRREVERSIBLE (2002). You can probably handle it if you could handle MARTYRS,

[@dbambrick996]

Great list, thanks

[@MuckMan_Movies]

Thanks for watching.

[@JuniorD1975]

Great top 25. Under The Skin will get into more best of lists as time goes on. American Werewolf never gets old. I see you have the same edition of American Werewolf that I did a review of 👍🎬

[@gerardcote8391]

Odd that you didn't include Audition 1999 Japanese. It is famous for having audiences running out of the theater 20 minutes before the end because it was creeping even hard core Horror fans out. If you like challenges. I challenge you to watch the whole film without looking away, or shutting it off or leaving the room at the 20 minute before end mark.

[@TroyKnight12]

My top 25 are: 1. Scream (1996) 2. Halloween (1978) 3. Friday the 13th Part 4: (1984) 4. The Shining (1980) 5. The Thing (1982) 6. Psycho (1960) 7. Jaws (1975) 8.

This is spot on.

[@raoulmontefiore4803]

This is a great list. Nice range from within the genre. Some classics, some novel choices and i like it it when people highlight more modern films in lists like this. The last decade or so has been a purple patch for horror,in part for the films you mention.

Hello. This is my first time watching any of your videos. Really interesting and varied list. No complaints about your number 1 pic. I have the Japanese Movie Artwork on my wall. Have to see I was surprised to see I Saw The Devil so high up, obviously we have different opinions, I personally loved the first half but then felt it ran out of ideas a bit. Anyway, thanks for the vid. I have liked and subscribed and I look forward to more of your videos and wish you good luck with the channel.

God's own country 😉

[@canonlon311]

Alien, Jaws and The Thing - I don't know if cinema gets much better. Hitchcock's Psycho is my all time fav horror film. Frankenstein still competes after all these years - amazing accomplishment - timeless movie. Also, great audio - that's a nice sounding mic.

[@videociraptor5595]

french MARTYRS is the best horror movie of 21th Century. In my opinion Peter Jackson's Braindead, Barkers Hellraiser, Fulcis Zombie, Romeros Dead Trilogy, Raimis Dead Trilogy, From Dusk till Dawn, Scream 1 are better that half of your list. Tenebre is my favorite Argento. In my opinion is Gullermo Del Toro is overhyped. For me his movies are OK, nothing special. Not many people see the austrian movie ANGST 1983 with Erwin Leder, in my opinion it is the best psycho thriller with great camera work. And POSSESSION 1981 is THE art house horror movie ever time. Better that the most output from A24 together.

[@AlienProbe73]

In your opinion

[@zerozerohero7189]

21st

[@artisfu9]

I agree! Martyrs (FRENCH VERSION) was one Hell of a Horror film! I could not watch it when it got to the torchor scenes!

Thx for the view in your List of your Most loved Horrorfilms🤝…Great List as i can tell, makes me wanna rewatch some of them again😁. Some of them i’ve Seen in Movie Theater …. I’m glad that i had the Chance to do that. …And also thx for the recommendation of „Onibaba“… i guess i have to See this one😎

[@MuckMan_Movies]

Onibaba is a beautiful & atmospheric horror. Hope you enjoy it.

[@wnk1984]

Stellar list, sir! I love that John Carpenter's The Thing is finally getting the recognition it deserves. Back when it was released, of course, the critics despised it and even didn't have a big audience. It's great to see it becoming a favorite for many horror movie fan, and for people who don't even care for the horror genre. It's not just the story but the way the story is told that's wonderful. A chilling atmosphere, pun intended lol, and a master class of practical effects. 💖

[@MuckMan_Movies]

@@wnk1984 it's been a favourite of mine for decades. Agreed, its finally getting the adoration it deserves. It's a horror masterpiece in my eyes.

[@laudanum669]

I beg to differ on the original "Halloween" being called a great Slasher film. It's more of a Thriller than a Horror movie. It has a Hitchcock vibe to it.

[@rpsibley73]

Great list!! you have

Great to see Onibaba here! That movie must get more love. It's not for everybody but it's a horror essential

Can you do top 50 horror movies of the last decade

[@MuckMan_Movies]

Not sure I've seen 50 from the last decade. Could maybe do a top 50 of the 21st century.

[@kelpkelp5252]

Definitely agree with a lot of those, I still need to see the original Suspiria (only seen the modern version). I would definitely have to put The Borderlands, A Field In England (one scene is absolutely terrifying), Possum and Enys Men in the list.

[@MuckMan_Movies]

@@kelpkelp5252 thank you for the kind comments. I've yet to see Borderlands and Field in England.

[@kelpkelp5252]

[@phantasm8180]

Thank you for sharing your list of 25 favorite horror films! I appreciate your choices, even though 'Martin' by George A. Romero and 'The Brood' by David Cronenberg are personal favorites of mine. It's always interesting to see how varied the horror genre can be, and your list has certainly sparked some great discussion. While I do agree with most of your picks, I must admit that I see 'Pan's Labyrinth' as more of a fantasy film, 'Gremlins' as having a strong comedic element, and 'Blade II' as having superhero vibes. 'Halloween' from 1978, it's a classic for me , even though I understand it might be more of an honorary mention for you for me is top 25 . Thanks again for sharing your list

[@MuckMan_Movies]

Thanks for your comments. Horror comes in many guises. I don't understand why people can't see that. Gremlins is a horror comedy with some very dark moments. Blade II is a vampire movie with some gory moments. Pan's Labyrinth is a fantasy horror with some horrific moments such as the General smashing the man's face in with a bottle or the stuff of nightmares pale man scene. Horror shouldn't have to be as straight laced and obvious as a lot of people on here seem to think.

[@neilsmoviechannel3199]

Fun list and no complaints with your #1. Loved that edition of It Follows that you showed, very cool. I think my favorite Neil Marshall film is still Dog Soldiers but you’re probably right that The Descent is creepier. Good to see Onibaba there. Have you seen Kuroneko? They seem equally good to me

[@MuckMan_Movies]

Hi Neil. Yeah, I have Kuroneko, which I really enjoy too. There is just something about Onibaba that elevates it for me. The It Follows edition has lots of stuff inside including a steelbook too. I just love that release, more so than the recent Second Sight release that everyone is gushing over. Thanks for watching, glad to see people are enjoying my videos.

[@richardhinman3046]

Interesting list with good synopsizes. I'll check some of these out. Have you ever seen Carnival of Souls, (1962)?. It's not top 25 but it's a low budget cult classic. Very atmospheric.

[@MuckMan_Movies]

Yes, I own the Criterion release. It's a good film as I remember. Thanks for watching.

[@garrettpeck4437]

[@duedecimal6622]

amazing top 25! i enjoyed looking at the amazing bluray/dvd packaging too, since im a big horror movie fan who lived in third world country, so there are no such thing as amazing edition releases of the movies here. However, what i enjoyed the most from horror movies are the presentation of the scary scene and i love ghost scenes, i just love em, and to this day, my best horror movie is still the original Thai version of Shutter (2004) and none has been able to top it. That is all from me, Have a good day, sir.

[@MuckMan_Movies]

[@Fredo_Viola]

Great list! Really happy to see Onibaba on it. That’s such a haunting film. Here’s my list in no apparent order, these are for me all wildly rewatchable and wonderful: Rosemary’s Baby The Tenant Repulsion Kwaidan Toby Dammit Carrie The Shining An American Werewolf in London The Old Dark House Under the Skin Cries and Whispers Mandy The Dead Zone Don’t Look Now The Wicker Man (original version) The Devils Lost Highway Mulholland Drive Black Sabbath The Exorcist 3 The Omen Invasion of the Bodysnatchers (70s version) Suspiria The Hainting (Wise) Alien and The Thing are awesome but don’t offer anything but terror and tension. I actually really love Vampire’s Kiss as well, but don’t feel like it’s a very well-made film. The script and Cage’s performance are amazing though!

[@Fredo_Viola]

And Cronenberg’s Crash… is that horror? If so, that one as well!

[@MuckMan_Movies]

The Haunting was very close to getting into my Top 25. It scared the hell out of me when I first watched it. Nice solid list you have there. Thanks for watching 👍

Good list! Obviously we all have different favourites, personally overall i prefer slashers as my list shows. Like you though i got into horror as a kid, i was 5 or 6 in the mid 80s.

[@Polterguts]

To those shuddering at his inclusion of Gremlins. I have been watching horror films with my dad since I was 5 and the only movie that he almost made us walk out of was Gremlins. He was genuinely disturbed watching these monsters joyously tormenting this town with demonic glee as the audience roared with laughter. But thats what I love about Spielberg-produced horror, he often uses a family-friendly story template to trick audiences into feeling safe and fuzzy and then almost subliminally lays on the scares. It’s only much later that one realizes just how the dark themes/ideas that were underneath the surface really were.

[@MuckMan_Movies]

Finally....👏

[@MuckMan_Movies]

Gremlins has some genuinely dark moments. Yes it's predominantly a comedy but no-one can deny the scene where Billy's mum has to take on the newborn gremlins is horror. Also Kate's story of her father found dead up in the chimney is stuff of nightmares. Thanks for your reasoning comments and thanks for watching.

[@masudashizue777]

Ooh, you missed Halloween, Ringu (1998) and Psycho, MuckMan. Three all-time chillers, right there. Good list though. Seen all of them. And they're all good. If you haven't... check out Les Diaboliques as well. The last 10 minutes are killer!

Viy!!! Such a fun film!! Love that one as well! This is a great list indeed, although I’d put Mandy somewhere among the top 20!

[@stofflwoffl3370]

@@Fredo_Viola Mandy misses the List as close as possible... the Cinematography and the Colour mix is awesome...but also it had B-Movie Vibes and a little Overacting Problem .. But I really Loved it for his individuality... A real brave Film... So when you ask me about the Joy-Factor...Oh yes...it would be Higher! But I will Rewatch it definitely 😉

[@stofflwoffl3370]

Viy is real sovjet Pearl yes😅

[@Fredo_Viola]

lol, since when is over-acting a problem! Ha! Of course I’m kidding, but when the choices are as interesting as Cage makes I really think it’s art, especially if the film is as great as Mandy. And, btw, the first time I saw it I had the same feeling as you about the second half. I am not a huge fan of fight films, so superficially I was turned off. But I was drawn back to the film again, and the second time noticed the absolutely STUNNING and ultra-ambiguous ending. Then thinking about Shakespeare’s many revenge plots, I realized I needed to give that second half another watch. The third time I watched I realized what a masterpiece the film is. I cannot wait for his next feature. In my opinion, Cosmatos is our best young living director. Better than Astor, as he allows his film to end in ambiguity. We shall see if that pans out, but I have high hopes.

[@yobgol]

i suggest 'empire of passion' by nagisa oshima, kiyoshi kurosawa's 'cure' (and 'creepy'), as well as na hong-jin's 'the wailing' and 'the chaser'. so many broadly fit into horror, there's a very good chance you've seen some / all of these.

[@MuckMan_Movies]

Cure is a great one, yes. Creepy was decent but not as good. The Wailing and Chaser are excellent too. Great call outs. Its so hard to compile a Top 25 with so many other deserving films. Thanks for watching.

[@oneeyeman6258]

Good list. However, why you didn't put Martyr's at #1 is beyond me. Its head and shoulders above every other horror movie. And you left out The Ring, which I think is much superior to the Japanese original. Glad you put I Saw the Devil in there; what a wicked movie. BTW, have you ever seen Beyond the Black Rainbow? That's a pretty warped creepy movie.

[@MuckMan_Movies]

I didn't put Martyrs at No.1 because this is my list and not yours. We all have different tastes and personal favourites. I have seen Black Rainbow and enjoyed it but not as good as Mandy. Thanks for watching 👍

[@theprophet9429]

There are some fine choices, but, The Babadook, The Blair Witch Project and The Wicker Man are shocking omissions. And, that’s an understatement as I’m trying to be nice. 😊

[@MuckMan_Movies]

I absolutely hated Blair Witch Project. I found it incredibly boring. The Wicker Man and Babadook are great and do deserve to be high up on anyone's list. It's hard to leave out so many but in the end there's only 25 places.

[@gerardcote8391]

Interesting list. I assume you've seen Bela Lagosi Dracula. Did you know they filmed a Spanish language version simultaneously, Spanish Crew and Actors. They filmed the English language in the day time, then the Spanish crew came in watched the dailies and filmed the Spanish one at night, trying to improve it versus the English language version Recommend checking that one out.

[@MuckMan_Movies]

Yes, I've watched Dracula many times. I feel like the 2nd act suffers a little compared to the incredibly atmospheric 1st act. Great film but I prefer Frankenstein from that era. A lot of people prefer Bride of Frankenstein but I feel like there's too much of a comedic element in it, so I prefer the orginal.

[@extract]

Great list, but a bit light on classics pre-1970, I only counted 2 (Onibaba and Frankenstein). I would among the classics include Nightmare Alley (1947,), BeautyAnd the Beast (1947), Dead of Night (1945), Ngiht of the Hunter (1955), Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956), Eyes Without A Face (1960), Black Sunday (1960) and Massque of the Red Death (1964.)

Great list. I especially like that you added [REC] and The Descent who are in my top 10 list of favorite horror flicks. The Fly, The Thing, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, all excellent choices. I would add, The Beyond by Lucio Fulci. It has everything: Lovecraftian mythos, possession, haunted house, zombies, just all around great. Speaking of Lovecraft, a movie clearly inspired by the lore is the Canadian horror film from 2016 The Void.

[@MuckMan_Movies]

Thank you. I personally wasn't a fan of Fulci's The Beyond because they just kept shooting the zombies in the body instead of the head! It really annoyed me. The Void is great fun but doesn't make a huge amount of sense, but I do enjoy that one. Great practical effects. Thanks for watching.

Actually, a minor correction and a great pub/bar bet to win you a pint. Ask someone who played as Frankenstein in the classic horror flick. Almost invariably they'll jump out with "Boris Karloff" which is wrong. Colin Clive played as Frankenstein. Karloff played "the Monster." Check the end credits in the movie itself.

[@BrianR2395]

I have no complaints about your choices. In fact, I have all of them on Blu-ray or DVD. But you make no mention of some of the finest horror films of all time...such as Night of the Demon (1957), Night of the Eagle (1962), City of the Dead (1960), The Haunting (1963), The Innocents (1961) and Dead of Night (1945). Your list is biased toward modern horror films. Why?

[@MuckMan_Movies]

Probably because it's what I grew up with. Night Of The Demon, The Haunting and The Innocents actually feature in my Top 50. Which considering how many horror films have been made are good positions in the whole scheme of things.

[@MuckMan_Movies]

I wouldn't exactly say Onibaba, The Exorcist, Jaws, Suspiria and Frankenstein are modern horror.

[@BrianR2395]

Onibaba and Frankenstein, I would agree. But the vast majority of the films in your Top 25 are modern in the sense of being from the modern era, which in my opinion includes the 1970s or later, as opposed to the black-and-white world of the 1930s through the early 1960s.

[@MuckMan_Movies]

@@BrianR2395 I don't understand you. There's no right or wrong answer. These are MY favourite films, not yours. Feel free to do your own video with pre 70s horror films if you feel that strongly about it.

[@BrianR2395]

Well, if I do make my own video, it will certainly NOT be based on a list of films "I grew up with", which I think shortchanges the whole idea. Since reaching adulthood, I've had the opportunity to discover, appreciate, and enjoy some truly great horror films that existed long before I was born and which I never even heard of when I was growing up. Many of them are among my own Top 25 favorites, along with some later films I actually did "grow up with". But whether I grew up with them -- or not -- has nothing to do with whether they'd be included in my list.

[@gerardcote8391]

Tale of 2 sisters another great choice.
