The 101 Horror Movies list has brought me to The Sixth Sense. A film that no matter what you think of Shyamalan’s later work, still stands as a fantastic little spooky tale, undeniably a classic ghost story. Bruce Willis stars as Malcolm Crowe a psychologist who has a troubling confrontation in his home with a…

The Blair Witch Project (1999) – Daniel Myrick & Eduardo Sanchez
Ahh the found footage genre. Yes, we got a look at it earlier with Cannibal Holocaust, but it was with The Blair Witch Project that it really got its feet under itself, and of course there have been countless other films of the shakey cam variety since. As the 101 Horror Movies comes to the conclusion…
Ringu (1998) – Hideo Nakata
The late 90s saw a huge inflow of Japanese horror into the North American market, spreading and replicating itself, much like the curse in this wicked and delightful ghost story. Remade, successfully, three years later as The Ring with Naomi Watts and directed by Gore Verbinski, the original film was one of the first Japanese…
Scream (1996) – Wes Craven
“Do you like scary movies?” Horrormeister Wes Craven returns to the 101 Horror Movies list directing a script by Kevin Williamson that turned the horror genre on its head and reinvigorated it as the end of the 20th century drew near. Working with the conceit that everyone knows how horror movies work, following a set…
Dellamorte Dellamore (1994)
This one was just an odd, delightful, horror-comedy. To me it seemed like a combination or Sam Raimi and Guillermo del Toro, and made for a delightful addition to the 101 Horror Movies. Dellamorte Dellamore was simultaneously filmed in English and Italian by director Michele Soavi, and tells a wonderfully odd story, featuring necrophilia, reanimated boy scout corpses, dead…
Bram Stoker’s Dracula (1992)
Say what you will about Keanu Reeves’ horrid English accent in this film, I like this film. I love the cast, and I like the way the text has been updated to make Dracula not only a tragic character, more or less, but weave this wonderful love story through the film. I was happy to…
Candyman (1992)
Urban legends. They must come from somewhere. They say all legends have a grain of truth, some basis of creation. They may be nothing more than exaggerated campfire tales, moral tales to chide and curb behavior. But what if they’re not? Say his name 5 times in the mirror and find out… The 101 Horror Movies…
Man Bites Dog (1992)
The 101 Horror Movies brought me this little entertaining piece, but except for one horrific little scene, the film, for me, landed solidly in the dark comedy section of my brain. This Belgian film blurs reality, as the film’s three directors, Remy Belvaux, Andre Bonzel, Benoit Poelvoorde, are all in the film, using their own names……
The Silence of the Lambs (1991)
Good evening Clarice… The best of the best of the serial killer genre, and a most welcome name to come across on the 101 Horror Movies list, as well as one of The Mind Reels’ co-creator Sue Maynard’s favorite movies. I saw this Best Picture film no less than 5 times in the theater (coincidence…
Jacob’s Ladder (1990)
At first blush, this horrific, paranoid thriller more than earns its place on the 101 Horror Movies list, because some of the imagery is frightening, couched as it is in everyday surroundings. When viewed knowing the film’s ending, and in this day and age, it’s kind of tough not to, and even if you don’t…
