Recently, people shared what their favorite guilty pleasure horror movies are. Is your favorite on the list?

Ghosts of Mars

Mine would be John Carpenter’s Ghosts of Mars. It is a crap movie with bad editing, bad acting, really poor practical effects, and awful dialogue. However, I have watched it a ridiculous number of times and for some unknown reason just keep coming back to it!

House on Haunted Hill (1999)

I enjoy Chris Kattan in it, along with Geoffrey Rush, Famke Janssen, Taye Diggs and a cameo by Jeffrey Combs… I mean what’s not to like?

Thirteen Ghosts

A few scares and JR Bourne gets sliced in half. Who could want more?

The Wicker Man (2006)

I have watched Nick Cage’s Wicker Man more times than movies I actually like. It’s like it was written by an alien who has no idea how movies are made or how human emotions work. I fucking LOVE IT.

House of Wax (2005)

I LOVE House of Wax but I’m trash and love camp so I am not ashamed.

Graveyard Shift

I f*cking love this movie so much! Watched it all the time as a kid and I still love all of its schlock, practical effects, and Brad Dourif is always a winner.

Freddy Vs. Jason

Freddy vs. Jason has an absolutely nonsense story and rubbish acting but still somehow captures what makes those two characters so much fun.

Maximum Overdrive

Maximum Overdrive. I LOVE that movie. I can’t imagine why Stephen King and everyone else knocks it.

Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2

Like, I’m not sure what exactly it is about this movie, but I just adore it. I’m big on atmospheric horror (Silent Hill, the first Blair Witch, Honeymoon (2014), etc.), and a plethora of Asian horror films for that same reason. Book of Shadows always held a similar atmospheric vibe to me. The soundtrack is a complete banger, too. It’s a treasure, for sure.

Ghost Ship

One of the first horror movies I saw as a kid, the opening scene scarred me… 😂 I rewatched it recently, it’s so dumb but still incredibly entertaining.

Halloween 4

I feel like Halloween 4 isn’t widely loved or respected, but it’s one of my top 2-3 favorite horror movies. I found out it was filmed where I’m currently living (SLC Utah) and toured all the spots.

The Saw Franchise

Despite the fact I don’t like them at all, I too have seen and will continue to see each and every film.

Jaws 3

I know many dislike the film but to me it has always been one of my favorites and a guilty pleasure. Even if the effects look super dated and the premise is a little silly – I still love the ending when the shark crashes through the window.

Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation

Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation. I don’t think I can even explain why. It just works for me.

The Haunting (1999)

The Haunting. This silly movie means so much to me. It scared me when I was little and is pure nostalgia for me now. It played at least a small part in making me love horror movies.

u/Walking_W0unded

Darkness Falls

Just supremely silly and rides on its atmosphere. Keeps making up new rules for otherwise very simple lore. I was 11 and saw it at the dollar theater and had a blast.

u/uncrew

The Gravedancers

Stupid Cheesy, low budget, and the ending is a giant ghost head chasing a jeep through a house.

A+ would nominate for an Award

Queen of the Damned

Queen of the Damned – Half of the movie is kind of great but the other half is downright garbage. It’s such a strange movie with baffling choices at times but I can’t look away.

u/ThunderPoonSlayer

Killer Klowns from Outer Space

Campy and spectacular.

Halloween 6

I like this one too! Watched it all the time as a kid and I know it’s so poorly done, but damn if I don’t come back to it regularly. Plus, watching Paul Rudd play an android essentially is great lol

Stay Alive

Killer video game movie. Not sure what I like so much about it. Video game nostalgia? Bad video game cgi? It’s bad but well made.
