31 Flavors: The Essential Horror/Slasher Collection to Own!!

A Listmania! list by R. Pepper "DaysFan79" (Los Angeles)
(REAL NAME)   
1.  Psycho (Collector's Edition) DVD ~ Frank Albertson
R. Pepper says:
  "It's by Alfred Hitchcock, end of story. Psycho II is actually a very good follow-up and also worth a peak is Psycho III. But the first is what tops the list of course."
$13.99   Used & New from: $8.22
Average Customer Rating: 4.7 out of 5 stars 406 (406)

2.  Black Christmas (Special Edition) DVD ~ Les Carlson
R. Pepper says:
  "This has developed a strong fan following in recent years and proves what is unknown and not visible to the human eye can be just as effective as anything else. The performances, character development, plot, sub-plot, writing, music and settings are all-around superb! This has easily become my favorite and should be regarded as a classic along with Psycho and Halloween."
$19.99   Used & New from: $10.51
Average Customer Rating: 4.3 out of 5 stars 266 (266)

3.  Halloween (Divimax 25th Anniversary Edition) DVD ~ Brian Andrews
R. Pepper says:
  "Hopefully you already own it. What to see is Curtis in the Australian thriller "Road Games," (from the beloved Anchor Bay company) which seems to have fallen through the cracks somehow. And although Curtis may speak ill of the sequels that don't include herself, Halloween 4 & 5 still hold a special place in the hearts of many Halloween fans."
$19.99   Used & New from: $13.00
Average Customer Rating: 4.6 out of 5 stars 799 (799)

4.  Friday the 13th - From Crystal Lake to Manhattan (8 Movies) DVD ~ Kelly Hu
R. Pepper says:
  "This collection is worth owning for the first four movies alone which provides a lot of fun chase scenes. Plus there are a lot of extra goodies! But the original is what started it all. And the woman vs. woman catfight on the beach is untouchable!"
$43.99   Used & New from: $35.58
Average Customer Rating: 3.8 out of 5 stars 157 (157)

5.  A Nightmare on Elm Street (Infinifilm Edition) DVD ~ John Saxon
R. Pepper says:
  "Heather Lagenkamp rules! (We won't mention the made-for-tv movie of Tonya and Nancy). But I will mention the worthy sequel: The Dream Warriors which easily stands out for many reasons and The Dream Master is definitely fun to watch."
$14.99   Used & New from: $8.99
Average Customer Rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars 351 (351)

6.  The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2-Disc Ultimate Edition) DVD ~ Marilyn Burns
R. Pepper says:
  "Halloween wouldn't be the same without a butcher knife, Elm Street wouldn't be the same without a razor-gloved hand, and Texas wouldn't be the same without a chainsaw! Part 2 is decent (also by Hooper) plus the 2003 remake is suprisingly good."
$17.99   Used & New from: $11.49
Average Customer Rating: 4.2 out of 5 stars 653 (653)

7.  When a Stranger Calls DVD ~ Charles Durning
R. Pepper says:
  "This probably should classify as a suspense film and not horror but it wouldn't be right to leave it off my list. And the 1993 made-for-tv sequel, When a Stranger Calls Back is actually very effective!"
$12.49   Used & New from: $4.00
Average Customer Rating: 4.1 out of 5 stars 100 (100)

8.  Alice, Sweet Alice DVD ~ Linda Miller
R. Pepper says:
  "A 70's shocker that will not disappoint! Brooke Shields first film as well."
$22.99   Used & New from: $17.99
Average Customer Rating: 4.0 out of 5 stars 42 (42)

9.  Happy Birthday To Me VHS Melissa Sue Anderson
R. Pepper says:
  "Sony ruined the DVD to this classic film by replacing the original soundtrack and cover art. The overall spooky mood of the film is ruined because of this. With a little luck we may see it done right one day. Loved the ending and a lot of terrific performances by the leading actors! Stick to the VHS copy in the meantime."
Used & New from: $8.99
Average Customer Rating: 3.2 out of 5 stars 95 (95)

10.  The Descent (Unrated Widescreen Edition) DVD ~ Shauna Macdonald
R. Pepper says:
  "A refreshing, modern-day horror film that current horror movie directors should take a lesson from. I'm glad someone still knows what they're doing."
$14.99   Used & New from: $3.50
Average Customer Rating: 3.9 out of 5 stars 270 (270)

11.  High Tension (Unrated Widescreen Edition) DVD ~ Cécile De France
R. Pepper says:
  "Director Aja has made a fan out of me. The title is High Tension and it lives up to its name. I enjoyed his "The Hills Have Eyes," remake but actually have never seen the original."
$9.99   Used & New from: $1.40
Average Customer Rating: 3.3 out of 5 stars 227 (227)

12.  Wolf Creek (Unrated Widescreen Edition) DVD ~ John Jarratt
R. Pepper says:
  "Very gritty, very real and very disturbing! One of the best modern day horror films since The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Not for the weak or faint of heart."
$12.99   Used & New from: $0.50
Average Customer Rating: 3.1 out of 5 stars 223 (223)

13.  The Thing (Collector's Edition) DVD ~ Wilford Brimley
R. Pepper says:
  "One of Carpenter's best after Halloween."
$9.99   Used & New from: $8.72
Average Customer Rating: 4.6 out of 5 stars 462 (462)

14.  Just Before Dawn DVD ~ George Kennedy
R. Pepper says:
  "I recently discovered quite a hidden gem called Just Before Dawn. Don't deprive yourself from this one slasher fans!"
$14.99   Used & New from: $9.99
Average Customer Rating: 3.8 out of 5 stars 26 (26)

15.  My Bloody Valentine DVD ~ Paul Kelman
R. Pepper says:
  "If it's holiday-themed, it will more than likely make the list. My Bloody Valentine deserves a place on that list even though there are several cuts to the film that fans of gore will not appreciate. However the dark, creepy, isolated mine is a perfect setting in the end. And it's a nice treat to watch around the holiday."
$9.98   Used & New from: $4.24
Average Customer Rating: 3.5 out of 5 stars 91 (91)

16.  April Fool's Day DVD ~ Jay Baker
R. Pepper says:
  "You will either love or hate the ending. But the score is creepy and it will keep you guessing. From the same director of When a Stranger Calls."
$9.98   Used & New from: $3.91
Average Customer Rating: 3.8 out of 5 stars 64 (64)

17.  The Prowler DVD ~ Vicky Dawson
R. Pepper says:
  "Gore hounds will be happy with this and there are several great moments of suspense that won't quickly be forgotten. The Prowler alone is downright menacing!"
$15.99   Used & New from: $11.49
Average Customer Rating: 3.7 out of 5 stars 48 (48)

18.  Stage Fright DVD ~ Richard Barkeley
R. Pepper says:
  "You may not have heard of this 80's Italian horror flick but it manages to stand out amongst many others from its time. Another Anchor Bay original. I love that company!"
$12.99   Used & New from: $7.00
Average Customer Rating: 3.5 out of 5 stars 17 (17)

19.  Prom Night (Widescreen) DVD ~ Beth Amos
R. Pepper says:
  "Another Jaime Lee classic slasher! Featuring a great chase scene through the dark high school hallways, gym, classrooms and car garage with Eddie Benton. And if that isn't enough, watch Jaime Lee and Leslie Nielsen cut a rug to some disco music."
$6.99   Used & New from: $3.10
Average Customer Rating: 3.7 out of 5 stars 3 (3)

20.  Terror Train DVD ~ Ben Johnson
R. Pepper says:
  "It has Jaime Lee Curtis and it's called Terror Train. What more do you need."
$9.98   Used & New from: $5.39
Average Customer Rating: 3.6 out of 5 stars 62 (62)

21.  Sleepaway Camp Survival Kit (Movies 1-3) DVD ~ Pamela Springsteen
R. Pepper says:
  "For people who want to take a break from a serious horror film and enjoy a few comical one-liners from Pamela Springsteen (parts II & III) who delivers a knock-out performance as Angela. If you don't live up to her standards, you won't live at all. Plus a shocker of an ending in the original. Another brilliant packaged set from you know who, yep - Anchor Bay!"
$24.99   Used & New from: $17.95
Average Customer Rating: 4.0 out of 5 stars 49 (49)

22.  Curtains 
R. Pepper says:
  "Unfortunately not available on DVD yet, but the ice skating scene should go down as one of the best classic horror moments!"
Used & New from: $26.00
Average Customer Rating: 4.6 out of 5 stars 10 (10)

23.  The People Under The Stairs DVD ~ Brandon Quintin Adams
R. Pepper says:
  "One of my favorites by Wes Craven and lesser known than A Nightmare on Elm Street. This was probably one of the few 90's horror films I enjoyed and actually have on this list. The performances are so wild and over the top you would think they were relatives of Mommie Dearest. The house is a perfect location with all of its traps and secret doors and makes for one heck of a thrill ride!"
$10.49   Used & New from: $4.15
Average Customer Rating: 4.2 out of 5 stars 70 (70)

24.  Clownhouse DVD ~ Gloria Belsky
R. Pepper says:
  "Probably the best horror/clown movie in the genre. You never know who is hiding behind all that make-up!"
Used & New from: $16.99
Average Customer Rating: 3.8 out of 5 stars 50 (50)

See buying options
25.  The Funhouse DVD ~ Elizabeth Berridge
R. Pepper says:
  "Another one by Tobe Hooper, not as good as Texas Chainsaw Masscare, but the whole carnival setting alone with all the creepy people that work in it plus being trapped inside a funhouse is a terrific set-up! The bag lady was a nice touch."
Used & New from: $6.76
Average Customer Rating: 3.6 out of 5 stars 83 (83)

See buying options
26.  Creepshow DVD ~ Hal Holbrook
R. Pepper says:
  "Five fun, scary stories all packaged together. What a neat idea! I just watched Creepshow 2 (from Anchor Bay) and although it's worth a glimpse, the first Creepshow is what to own."
$6.99   Used & New from: $1.10
Average Customer Rating: 4.1 out of 5 stars 119 (119)

27.  Deranged/Motel Hell (Midnite Movies Double Feature) DVD ~ Roberts Blossom
R. Pepper says:
  "You may vaguely remember Motel Hell but in case you missed it, you will not see anything else like it. And Nancy Parsons from Porky's is at her best when she's being bad!"
Used & New from: $27.99
Average Customer Rating: 4.1 out of 5 stars 43 (43)

See buying options
28.  American Gothic DVD ~ Rod Steiger
R. Pepper says:
  "Another deranged family isolated from the rest of the world that a group of friends encounter. It's been done a few times, but the performances are great and the movie is fun to watch."
$9.99   Used & New from: $4.97
Average Customer Rating: 4.0 out of 5 stars 27 (27)

29.  Silent Night, Deadly Night VHS Lilyan Chauvin
R. Pepper says:
  "Black Christmas is the best 'Christmas-themed' horror film but the first Silent Night Deadly Night is a must-see even if it's just for all the ruckus it caused. And yes, a girl gets it by some deer antlers mounted on a wall. Anchor Bay as usual put together a fantastic DVD."
Used & New from: $11.75
Average Customer Rating: 3.4 out of 5 stars 22 (22)

See buying options
30.  Tourist Trap DVD ~ Chuck Connors
R. Pepper says:
  "Another little treasure to savor on a dark and stormy night. Go ahead, take a stab at it!"
$9.98   Used & New from: $4.45
Average Customer Rating: 4.0 out of 5 stars 74 (74)

31.  Hell Night DVD ~ Linda Blair
R. Pepper says:
  "Not my favorite or the best, but when it's called Hell Night, stars Linda Blair from the Exorcist and has the tag line, "Pray for Day," you just have to have it. Another release from Anchor Bay."
Used & New from: $6.49
Average Customer Rating: 3.8 out of 5 stars 49 (49)
