Some excellent choices! Nice to see some love for Arachnophobia too. I wasn't a huge fan of that movie when I was younger, but I really grew to love it over the years. That actually reminds me, Warlock should probably be on the list somewhere. Julian Sands is awesome in the first two films.

Also glad to see Audition getting recognition too, as it's one hell of a screwed up movie and I absolutely love it. Can't imagine what it would be like for somebody - who knows nothing about the film in advance - to watch it.

I absolutely love the first movie, but I watched the sequel probably a hundred times when I was a kid. It was a bit more comedic, sure, but it was a lot of fun to watch. The first is definitely the scarier of the two films, so it's certainly better in that regard, but I have a stronger sentimental attachment to the sequel.

Keep those lists coming

i loved arachnophobia. having that minor quirk myself any spider based movies chill me down to the bone. Quite possibly the reason i love arachnophobia so much is it's the only movie where John Goodman theoretically saves the world, lol.

The only House I know of is this one



But I don't think that's what you were talking about.

High 5

During my freshmen year at the high school, they had a halloween/social event for freshmen and the committee involved with the planning chose to show "house" in the auditorium. I laughed my tits off and apparently my laughter was annoying to others so I got kicked out in the middle of the movie.

I've always been a sucker for horror-comedy movies hence the list of my favorite horror flicks contained mostly horror-comedy movies. It's a great combo.
