Most Watched Horror Film
 

What horror movie would you say you've watched the most times?

That includes any time you sat and watched, and if you're like me, times you put the movie on for background sounds while doing the dishes or painting the dogs nails or whatever.

I'm talking about the movie you put in the VCR or DVD player more than any other.

For me it's the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre. I've watched that so many times it's just plain silly. From grainy, dubbed VHS copies in the eighties to my several current DVD versions, I've seen that movie more times than I could even count.

I also have a major fondness for Tarantula, Giant Gila Monster, The Wolfman (1941) and Phantasm. I would have to say those four titles, along with TCM make up my all time most watched top five.

How about you, fellow forum members? Which flicks have you watched the most?

Bless you.

Ironically mine would be 2010's Wolfman remake. I know I should hate it but. I JUST CAN'T. If need be I'll make a freaking topic for it someday but it's one of my happy films. I play it a lot when drawing cause the transformations and gore is just so damn inspiring. Not to mention I've seen it so many times at this point I can practically quote every line word for word.

A few others would be The Howling (I & IV) and Jurassic Park. Haven't watched these much in a while though cause with Netflix I try to catch up on things I need to watch before they're taken off first.

How dare you " Blah " Giant Gila Monster and Tarantula!! ::stick out tongue::

I haven't seen the new Wolfman. I 'm meaning to but i haven't yet. To be honest it had dropped off my radar but Ive noticed you mentioning it here a few(hundred) times and it's back on my must see list. if I don't like it, I will blame you! I also love the Howling. The first one is in the conversation for my all time favorite Lycan flick.

Lol, nothing personal. I have my priorities though. ::big grin::

Only a few hundred? I need to up my game! Throw in a few WolfCop too for good measure. ::smile::
It's worth at least a watch. It's not perfect, but can't help but love Benicio Del Toro's take on Lawrence Talbot. As much as I love Lon Chaney Jr he was certainly given competition. Now blame away!
Where is this conversation for most liked lycan flick that you speak of?

HAHA! In my haunted head, all the time.

You know, I rarely watch movies over and over. I do sometimes have tv shows I've watched a lot playing in the background. The most I can think of is seeing things twice. Like Unnameable, From Beyond, Re-Animater, Subspecies(is that the one with the vampires underwater in a cave and has the blood stone in it? Such a good film), Pumpkinhead, Hell Raisers except the really bad one. Things like that. 80's stuff.

Some of my most watched are 80's movies. Pumpkinhead, Fright Night, Evil Dead are a few that spring to mind.

I never really thought about it. I think taking into account all the times Halloween comes on during Halloween, that's up there. Also Friday the 13th Part 6 and Night of the Living Dead 1990. Perhaps Alien as well.

Halloween.

The Shining or Evil Dead

Oh yeah I've seen each Evil Dead about 2-3 times. I only saw the remake once and never again!

I don't rewatch films much, but I've come back to these horrors:

Alien
The Thing
Se7en

Night of the Living Dead 1968

I forgot to add The Thing. And not the remake / prequel.

The Evil Dead (1981)
Psycho (1960)
Friday the 13th Part 1 & 2
Scream (1996)
I Know What You Did Last Summer (1997)
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003)
The Hills Have Eyes (2006)

^ A lot of good ones right there! And recent posts reminded me of another that I watch a lot that somehow slipped my mind. Halloween: Resurrection

I don't know how Halloween fans feel about this one, but it was the movie that got me hooked on the Halloween films, which got me hooked on slashers, which got me hooked on horror in general so yeah. It's special. And senseless killings are always fun. It's just a fun watch.

We can fix that. I'm tempted to make a topic but I don't know how much attention it'd get. This community doesn't seem too big on monster flicks let alone ones centered around carnivorous lunar activities.

Great titles on this thread! I should add The Thing (1951) and Night of the Living Dead to my list too. I've seen them a ton. Bucket of Blood and Blood Feast are two more that just popped into my head.


The man-wolf is one of my favorite horror creatures. Post away!

Return Of The Living Dead

All the horror movies I have on DVD ::stick out tongue::

For some reason Hammer just posting reminds me I have over 300 horror flicks in these large collection sets. There's a few in there I watch a ton. 'House on Haunted Hill' (there is only the original) is certainly one. And making it's way onto the list I've grown fond of 'The Screaming Skull'.

Maybe after I post today's movie review. ::smile::

My most watched horrors are plenty but just off the top of my head :

Jaws. Hmmm about 30 times i think but not really sure.

Phantasm
Dawn of the Dead (original of course)
My Bloody Valentine (original)

The usual staple of the classic Universal monsters,Franky,Drac,Wolfie etc

Oh hell yeah, how could I forget Jaws?! I have seen that dozens and dozens of times. In fact, just seeing your post makes me want to give it one last look before the summers gone. To the movie shelf I go!!

I had a unhealthy House of 1000 Corpses obsession for a long time. I wore out two discs. Now I only watch it a few times a year. But yeah, it was bad.

And of course Repo! I watched it about a thousand times that first month it released and I still listen to the soundtrack in the car all the time.

AHHHH and the Toxic Avenger. Probably a million times.

Jaws

watch it every summer

In what must be the most mathematically impossible occurrence, I at one time or another, went on a binge watch of each of these titles. On occasion I enjoy a movie so much that it doesn't leave my player for days, or even weeks. That was the case with House, Repo and Toxie for me.

Same wave length brother. Great minds and whatnot. My dad introduced me to Toxie when I was 5. All the other kids had normal batman and superman action figures, I had a toxic avenger action figure. It came with the mop and everything.

Sounds like you had a proper horror kid upbringing, man! Kudos to your dad for his wicked good taste, and his wise choice of passing Toxie down the family bloodline.

If it makes it any easier to understand this is my pops at 56. Not the best picture, its from a promo shot of his band.

Wow that's actually one of my LEAST favorite movies. What did you like about it?

It had kind of an artsy feel to it that I loved, the long winded scene where Otis shoots the cop in the back of head but it takes 2 minutes of slowing zooming out was beautiful. I love to really root for the bad guys too. It was just fun beginning to end. They did funny but in a way that almost made you feel guilty for laughing.

I thought it was just random torture scenes without a coherent plot.

The plot was basic slasher, which is really all that's needed for a good horror movie. Teens get stuck in a house with a murderous family. Family kills teens.

There was much more plot in the second one, but I mean for serious, sometimes you just need to see people die in grotesque ways.

I want this on a t-shirt.

That really doesn't do it for me.

LOL! That's too funny. I like your honesty Jake. It's like when someone looks through Fangora mag just for the pictures.

I mean to be honest and all. Lol. I love low budget B horror, not because of the acting but because of the over the top gore. After a stressful day at work busting my ass I just want to sit and watch someones head pop without having to decipher what it means.

I mean in "The evolution of scary" the first one and one of the most iconic horror films ever made had a plot you could jot down on one side of a restaurant napkin. We have a primal want to be able to just dissolve into a movie without having to really comprehend it.

I didn't make the picture. If I did, ANOES would replace that, but that's beside the point. There are a bunch of movies I like with a thin plot. High Tension and The Strangers being good examples, but if a movie ONLY has torture in it without anything else to like, then I probably won't like that movie. That's just me I guess.
