Halloween Special: The Top 20 Horror Films ... According to The Bru

It's Halloween (though personally I'd rather listen to Helloween). Pumpkins are to be carved, silly costumes are to be worn, and horror films are to be watched this weekend.

To get into the spirit of all things Samhain (and because EVERYONE loves lists), here is the list of the Top 20 Horror Films According to The Bru.

First things first: what constitutes a horror film? For some it is the killer slashing his way through horny teens, for other it's a young girl crawling down the stairs ... upside down. Some would even consider Mariah Carey's acting to be horror. For fear of putting too many restrictions, I have decided to go with the approach of "if it's scary or terrorising in any way, it shall be up for consideration".

Perusing through MacWallace (the new rendition of my long-running film database), it took me about 5 minutes to come up with these titles. That pretty much guarantees that I will regret one or two choices down the line. All in all I am pretty confident that it reflects what I consider to be a good horror film. Some will call me a softie, a mainstream-lover, or too obscure. If for nothing else, this list will achieve its main purpose: to start meaningful conversations about life in general. Oh, and it may give you a couple of ideas for what to see on Halloween ... or in days to come.

Without further ado, here is The Top 20 Horror Films ... According to The Bru (in alphabetical order). Be scarin'!
