Top 10 Worst Horror Movies of All Time

            Now that it is the fourth week of October, it is time to make another blog/video of something related to Halloween. On the second week of October, I did a list of my top ten favorite horror movies of all time. Because of that, I thought that it would be appropriate to have a list of my top ten worst movies of all time for this week.

Number 10: The Possession

            The Possession tries to be smart with its scares, but it is not aware that having a girl stand outside with wind blowing at her is not creepy. It is not aware that tension is not built up with the absence of everything but the score and they do not realize you need more than five scares to make a solid, and good, horror movie. This film is not scary and lacks the essence most films have that causes people to enjoy the film.



Number 9: Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark

            Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark thinks horror films are at their scariest when they show what the monster or monster-like-creatures-or-such are shown within the first ten minutes of the movie. Because of that, for the rest of the movie, we have no good scares and a lack of enjoyment due to the fact that we have nothing to be anxious about and that it would have be scary to be enjoyable.



Number 8: Poltergeist II: The Other Side

            Poltergeist II: The Other Side goes way farther than the first one, showing us a realm that we really did not need to see an redacts the demonic threat the first film had out of this one, because this is a “suspenseful and intense adventure and mystery movie”. The filmmakers have no idea what the movie really is so as it goes on it has more ridiculous scares and continues to get dumber.




Number 7: Child’s Play

            Child’s Play is still loved by some people and referred to as a classic. I refer to this film as the one when a toy doll thing with a small toy hammer hits a grown woman with the hammer, then she flies probably over twenty feet across the room, onto a huge dining table while sliding across it and not getting stopped with the friction, hits a window that breaks so that she can fall out of it and fall two stories to hit a car.



Number 6: The Last Exorcism

            The Last Exorcism really does not know that people are smart enough to know when lines are clearly audio-dubbed. It thinks it can add a twist to a “found footage” movie to make people think that it is real. It thinks it can use incredibly horrible CGI without anyone thinking that it is anything but real. This film has not one good exorcism and not one scary scene. It continuously yells to the screen that the audience is stupid while being incredibly boring.


Number 5: The Apparition

          The Apparition would be a bit higher on several other peoples’ lists, but believe me, I have seen worse. This film features horrible acting, an incredibly dumb story, a poster with false marketing all over it, not one scary scene, and not one good scene. This film is a fail at horror and should not exist. It truly does not know what scares audiences and what a good script is.




Number 4: Amityville II: The Possession

            Amityville II: The Possession should definitely be viewed as a comedy. As it believes it is being much cleverer than it truly is, it tries to be better than The Exorcist. But really, all it is doing is ripping off The Exorcist. It has truly atrocious acting and sets a completely horrible example for a horror movie sequel. This film came out just to make money, as it seems to be older than the first. That makes this movie even sadder than it already was.



Number 3: Abraham Lincoln vs. Zombies

            Abraham Lincoln vs. Zombies is a film that you probably have never heard of, because it really should not exist. It has the dumbest premise ever, then it goes off of that premise to create one of the worst stories I have every scene in a movie. It has horrible acting and brings no thrills to the screen as it is technically a horror/thriller film. It is incredibly boring from start to finish. What a true work of art this movie really is.



Number 2: Poltergeist III

            Poltergeist III was definitely the film that showed the makers of Poltergeist II: The Other Side that even a second installment was way too much. This film does have a good performance by the little girl, but that is possibly the only good aspect of the film. It uses nothing but jump scares from start to finish and fails at all but one of them. The concept is stupid and the execution is even worse. It is incredibly boring and fails at almost everything it sets out to do. This film should be forgotten forever.


Number 1: Paranormal Entity

          Paranormal Entity, another film that copies off of Paranormal Activity, is stale and bland from shot one until the end of the movie. They try so hard to make us think it is real, but it has absolutely horrible acting, and the story of the film is generic and gets increasingly more clichéd as the film goes on. Of course it tries at almost nothing but jump scares and not one of them works. Of course it was incredibly hard to enjoy. Though, this film had not one even entertaining moment. It is a true work of something that should not have happened and should be completely disintegrated. This is one of the worst movies I have ever seen.


            That is my list of my least favorite horror movies of all time. You might think some films are not in this list, but they should be. Take into account that I have not seen every horror movie known to man, and if I did see a horror movie you think should be on this list, I might have enjoyed it more. Also, you might think some movies should not be on this list and I was too hard on them. Again, might have just thought different of them than you. This is my list, and a top ten list of movies is very biased and to the maker of the list’s opinion.
