the best horror of TV and film

A Listmania! list by "lyradecyoj"
 
Alien: The Director's Cut (Two Disc Special Edition) [DVD] [1979]
1.  Alien: The Director's Cut (Two Disc Special Edition) [DVD] [1979] DVD ~ Sigourney Weaver
The list author says:
  "Forget the poor sequels that trample on the ideas of the original script. Alien, as directed by Ridley Scott, is one of the most phobic films ever. Score, cinematography and production design excel."

Survivors - Complete Series 1 [DVD] [1975]
3.  Survivors - Complete Series 1 [DVD] [1975] DVD ~ Lucy Fleming
The list author says:
  "Like Triffids, a post apocolyptic view of Britain, perhaps grittier though as hard decisions have to be made. Law and Order is the episode that stands out though they are all superb."
Used & New from: £14.99

4.  The Quatermass Collection: The Quatermass Experiment / Quatermass 2 / Quatermass & the Pit [DVD] DVD ~ Reginald Tate
The list author says:

Doctor Who - The Talons Of Weng Chiang [1977] [DVD] [1963]
5.  Doctor Who - The Talons Of Weng Chiang [1977] [DVD] [1963] DVD ~ Tom Baker
The list author says:
  "So you've heard Dr Who is a bit cheap and wobbly. Well FX  shouldn't be the primary concern to a fan of scriptwriting. Talons showcases Dr Who at its witty best.  Atmospheric stuff, supremely acted."

6.  Asylum [DVD] [1972] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC] DVD ~ Peter Cushing
The list author says:
  "The British anthology horrors are always entertaining. This one, along with Tales from the Crypt, From Beyond the Grave and Vault of Horror mix humour and genuine creepiness expertly."

Theatre Of Blood [DVD]
7.  Theatre Of Blood [DVD] DVD ~ Vincent Price
The list author says:
  "What a great idea. A shakespearean actor bumps off his harshest critics in excrutiatingly gory ways lifted straight from the Bards works. Price excels amid a cast of notable Brits. Great music too."

Thriller - The Complete Series (15 Disc Box Set) [DVD]
8.  Thriller - The Complete Series (15 Disc Box Set) [DVD] DVD ~ Thriller
The list author says:
  "The scripts vary in quailty but this was a series made in the heyday of British television and features many great character actors and there are many geniunely menacing storylines in this classic."

Blood On Satan's Claw [1971] [DVD]
9.  Blood On Satan's Claw [1971] [DVD] DVD ~ Patrick Wymark
The list author says:
  "Steeped in atmosphere and creating a great sense of its period, Satans Claw is another film that shows British horror stands head and shoulders above the frenetic, shallow rubbish we're served today."

10.  Quatermass & Pit & Quatermass 2 [DVD] [1957] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC] DVD ~ James Donald
The list author says:
  "The Hammer versions of the Quatermass tales were mixed, but there is no doubt the Quatermass and the Pit is not only one of the best Hammers, but one of the best Sci Fi films full stop."

Devil Rides Out [DVD] [1968] [US Import]
11.  Devil Rides Out [DVD] [1968] [US Import] DVD ~ Christopher Lee
The list author says:
  "Another of Hammers very best. A great cast headed by the always reliable Christopher Lee (in one of his best roles) excel. Great period setting too. The German DVD release is the best."

Hammer House of Horror : The Vampire Collection [DVD] [1980]
12.  Hammer House of Horror : The Vampire Collection [DVD] [1980] DVD ~ Classic Horror Movie Collection
The list author says:
  "Twins of Evil is the stand out film here. It's another Hammer that is perfect in every way. A gothic horror that is both sexy and sinister. Again the German DVD is the one to go for ideally."

13.  Hammer House Of Horror - Complete Collection [DVD] [1980] DVD ~ Hammer House of Horror
The list author says:
  "A series with enough high points to make a worthy addition to any horror collection. All stories take place in contemporary times which adds a new dimension to Hammers take on things."

Carry on Screaming [DVD] [1966]
14.  Carry on Screaming [DVD] [1966] DVD ~ Kenneth Williams
The list author says:
  "It may be a spoof, but as an affectionate send up of Hammer it is superb. The cast relish their roles and despite the lack of Carry On regulars it is probably the best of the series. And creepy too."
£19.97   Used & New from: £0.39

Island of Terror [Collector's Edition] [DVD]
15.  Island of Terror [Collector's Edition] [DVD] DVD ~ Island of Terror
The list author says:
  "A lonely fog-shrouded Irish island, people found melted into a pile of boneless gloop, green tentacled monsters, great Sound FX and Peter Cushing. What more could you want? Great fun."

Zombie Flesh Eaters [1980] [DVD]
16.  Zombie Flesh Eaters [1980] [DVD] DVD ~ Tisa Farrow
The list author says:
  "One of the few non Brit horrors that I rate, but it does have a couple of decent British actors in it so I guess that's why. A good story, badly dubbed but very creepy, and gory - but justifiably."
£18.99   Used & New from: £1.08

Dawn Of The Dead [1978] [1979] [DVD]
17.  Dawn Of The Dead [1978] [1979] [DVD] 
The list author says:
  "I don't suppose anyone thought it was particularly deep in 1978, but the remake shows how intelligent the original was. Not without it's flaws, it's still a great apocolyptic premise."
Used & New from: £2.96

Jaws (2 Disc Special Edition) [DVD]
18.  Jaws (2 Disc Special Edition) [DVD] DVD ~ Roy Scheider
The list author says:
  "Spielbergs best film without doubt. An urgent menace underpins the first half of the film whilst the sea adventure that follows provides the thrills and an opportunity for the three leads to shine."

19.  The Wicker Man - Special Edition Director's Cut (2 disc set) [DVD] [1973] DVD ~ Edward Woodward
The list author says:
  "Another intelligent British horror, that works because of where the script leads its characters. If only MTV hadn't come along and ruined horror films by turning them into 'pacey' teen tripe."

20.  An American Werewolf in London [Special Edition] [DVD] DVD ~ David Naughton
The list author says:
  "Some people regard it as an Amercan mickey take of British culture, but frankly it's so much like a British horror, steeped in self deprecating humour, its great."
