Hello fellow horror junkies! I’m very new here and thought this would be the safest place to post this. Please delete if not allowed.

I’m in the process of compiling images from 1970 to 1990s horror films for my next tattoo (leg) sleeve. I have approximately five weeks to go through as many movies as my schedule will allow to find the most nostalgic, interesting, and, most importantly, SCARRY frames from movies so I can present them to my artist.

I’m running into several problems with this, but the biggest one is there’s just SO much to rewatch! I tried to streamline things by using rotten tomatoes ratings or internet “best of” lists, but that doesn’t seem to be cutting it. I could use some real recommendations from real horror fans.

Additionally, I really don’t want just 20 faces of creatures, monsters, and demons on my leg. I’d rather it be more subtle, such as the silhouette of Leatherface in the sunrise at the end of Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Freddy coming through the wall of Friday the 13th, or the spiraling stare-case/column from the intro to Tales from the Crypt.

I will say, even though I’m only a week into this, it’s been really fun rewatching a lot of movies I haven’t seen in at-least 10 years. Stuff that terrified me as a child, or being blown away at practical effects that just aren’t done anymore. I’m sure I’ll continue through my list even after I’ve made my final selections. It’s just fantastic rewatching the great stuff and hilarious rewatching the not so good.

So, anyone want to recommend a movie or scene that will be permanently tattooed onto on body? Thank you in advance!
