#DORK 21: Best Horror Movies You've Never Seen

Keefe & Davey discuss some of the great lesser known horror films like Session 9 and Let The Right One In. So if you're looking for something other than Halloween, The Shining, or The Exorcist this holiday season, Keefe & Davey have you covered.

Holiday Horror Movie Rankings

What "holiday" has inspired the best horror movies?  Everyone wants to know.  (Hey, it's better than a lame April Fool's joke.)  

1. HALLOWEEN (1978)

Obvious choice.  You get this one and the zillion sequels and anything else like "Trick r Treat."

2. BLACK CHRISTMAS (1974)

How did a horror movie based around Christmas come out before Halloween?  Seriously, though.  If you haven't seen this one, make sure you see the original not the remake.  

3. FRIDAY THE 13TH (1980)

Does this count?  Is this a holiday.  No?  Yeah probably not.  Ton of films though.  

4. MY BLOODY VALENTINE (1981)

Valentine's Day should have all the horror movies.  There's this one, a remake, one called just "Valentine."  You ever see "Valentine's Day?"

5. APRIL FOOL'S DAY (1986)

Slasher set on April Fool's Day, if you can believe it.  We've been running out of ideas for quite some time.

Is Jigsaw The Most Recent Horror Villain Icon?

You got the Big 3 of Michael Myers, Freddy Krueger, and Jason Voorhees. They've all been around for decades. Nearly 30 years for Freddy, longer for the other two.  

If you want to throw out Norman Bates, Hannibal Lector, Leatherface, the Candyman and even little Chucky I'd be all for it. These are legendary horror movie villains.  

Ghostface from Scream?  The symbol is sure, but it's always someone different.  

Not gonna give you the Leprechaun. Nope.   I could be talked into Pinhead. But still that is less than 10 and they have all been around for awhile.  

Speaking of awhile let's put Dracula and Frankenstein (or the Monster) in their own classic category.  

Who is the newest legend?  I don't think it's close. Jigsaw.  The Saw movies were real good, especially the early ones.  And Jigsaw belongs in this group.  Hall of Famer. 

Hope everyone had a great Halloween.  I'll chill out on the horror movie talk now.
