What Are Your Favourite Horror Films?
Today we can officially start the Macabtobre month challenge. I know I should've started earlier, but better late than never hehe.
Horror films evoke fear through supernatural events often inspired by literature or urban legend. Supernatural beings, like ghosts and monsters, are the instruments used to instil that fear.
While there are many sub-genres to Horror, our question for today is just a generalisation of your favourite of the genre.
I haven't a favourite favourite, but I chose those which I've loved from the very first time I'd watched them - most of which I've only seen once.
My Favourites are:
Unfortunately, there are many big name Horror films I have yet to watch like, Frankenstein or Dracula etc, but I plan to watch them eventually and I am sure my list will change over time.
None of these are really scary, but I think Thrillers are more intimidating for me. I will include those on my next post.
P.S I only included Horror films but not comedies nor thrillers.
NOTE: I have added all the questions in the left hand corner of the blog. Just click on Macabtobre for the whole set. This way you can prepare your posts before hand. You can also view all the non-challenge related Macabtobre posts on the same page.
