Night of The Comet [DVD]
1.  Night of The Comet [DVD] 
The list author says:
  "My favourite horror movie of all time. Its cheesy 80's trash but its one of my 'comfort' films. Cheerleaders/Guns/Zombies. What more do you want?"

Lake Mungo [DVD]
2.  Lake Mungo [DVD] DVD ~ Martin Sharpe
The list author says:
  "Possibly the best of the 'found footage' sub-genre that is slowly becoming tiresome. This is the psuedo-documentary done with such finesse, that it's almost believable."
£4.99   Used & New from: £4.40
3.6 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (15 customer reviews) | 1 customer discussion

Martyrs [DVD]
3.  Martyrs [DVD] DVD ~ Morjane Alaoui

Switchblade Romance [DVD]
4.  Switchblade Romance [DVD] 
The list author says:
  "Some people moan about the ending of this film. Those people don't deserve eyes. More twists than a curly-wurly, this is a perennial favourite of all horror enthusiasts."
£4.50   Used & New from: £1.81

Inside [DVD]
5.  Inside [DVD] 
The list author says:

The Loved Ones [DVD]
6.  The Loved Ones [DVD] DVD ~ Xavier Samuel
The list author says:
  "I found myself falling in love with the psycho killer girl. Yes, this proves I'm disturbed but not as disturbed as the people in the basement."

Pontypool [DVD] [2008]
7.  Pontypool [DVD] [2008] DVD ~ Stephen McHattie
The list author says:
  "Hands down my favourite low budget zombie film ever. Its subtle, beautifully acted and so so clever. The Kill/Kiss scene is a game changer."
£5.00   Used & New from: £1.32
3.5 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (39 customer reviews) | 2 customer discussions

Ghostwatch [DVD]
8.  Ghostwatch [DVD] DVD ~ Michael Parkinson
The list author says:
  "This BBC production defined my childhood. The fact lots of my friends still talk about this now shows how much of an effect it had. Pipes Forever."

Don't Look Now [DVD] [1973]
9.  Don't Look Now [DVD] [1973] DVD ~ Julie Christie
The list author says:
  "Very influential. Very atmospheric. Very scary. Every time I see an Italian midget with a knife now, I flinch. It's the Argento film he never made."
Used & New from: £0.96

A Tale Of Two Sisters [DVD] [2004]
10.  A Tale Of Two Sisters [DVD] [2004] DVD ~ Kap-su Kim
The list author says:
  "One of the few post-Ringu movies that makes me shudder. The Koreans really stepped up their horror in the last decade and this is possibly the best."
£8.27   Used & New from: £2.19

Dark Water [2003] [DVD]
11.  Dark Water [2003] [DVD] DVD ~ Hitomi Kuroki
The list author says:
  "Multiple times better than the Hollywood remake. This has the ability to make you more scared of H2O than Jaws ever could. So much tragedy, but so beautiful."
£9.65   Used & New from: £0.81

A Nightmare On Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors [DVD]
12.  A Nightmare On Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors [DVD] DVD ~ A Nightmare on Elm Street 3
The list author says:
  "This is the best of the franchise and the only one I can watch now without cringing. Great performances and a brilliant concept that the kids can fight back against Freddy. Could be a standalone."
£4.85   Used & New from: £0.27

Army of Darkness / Evil Dead 3 [DVD]
13.  Army of Darkness / Evil Dead 3 [DVD] DVD ~ Bruce Campbell
The list author says:
  "I prefer AoD to the first two Evil Dead films as it perfectly captures the horror/comedy zeitgeist that similar films lacked. Bruce Campbell should be bigger than he is off this one film alone."
£5.27   Used & New from: £2.96

The People Under The Stairs [DVD] [1991]
14.  The People Under The Stairs [DVD] [1991] DVD ~ Brandon Quintin Adams

Masters of Horror: John Carpenter - Cigarette Burns
15.  Masters of Horror: John Carpenter - Cigarette Burns 
The list author says:
  "Carpenter OWNS this series and this episode is so far ahead of the others, its embarrassing. Monstrous angels, entrails and lots of gore, I cant recommend this enough."

16.  Masters of Horror: Jenifer [DVD] [2006] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC] DVD ~ Karen Austin
