Well here it is, the results to our first (annual?) Scary Movies Poll! When we did our Great Movies Poll back in August, we were only able to get a mere thirteen ballots. This go around we were able to scare up a solid thirty-two including lists from filmmaker Vincent Pereira, actor Justin "STEVE HOLT!" Wade and Long Beach Cinematheque founder Logan Crow! Thank you all so so much for participating, it really helped to generate a much more rounded list. There are so many great movies on these ballots, including some that you might never have even heard of! It is highly recommended that you check out all the individual ballots for viewing inspiration as the big day draws nearer...
Disclaimer -
Due to the number of films tied for third, fifth and sixth place, the following list consists of twelve films rather than ten. Tied films in the top-sixare listed alphabetically. Years have been included where necessary to distinguish between the originals, remakes and re-used titles. As for films with alternate cuts, nobody really indicated a preferred version so we have abstained from stating any sort of preference. Where possible, links have been included to This Cinematic Life reviews of the film in question.
Honorable Mentions -
Scream & Suspiria
