@leemond2008 that’s a great list, films I always loved for some reason and have recently purchased the box set is Phantasm, the first especially I love. 
 

And I know it’s on your list but I love the wicker man and rosemarys baby.

I took stock of my horror collection the other day, I only really started buying films recently, when I was younger I had hundreds and hundreds of horror films on VHS and then because of things like showbox and netflix I got lazy so about 6 months ago I made a conscious effort to start buying my horror collection back on blu ray, when I started out I had about 60 or 70, its come on quite nicely since then.

I'll shove the list in a spoiler because its got a fair few films in it.

i enjoyed the fear street films that have been on netflix recently. awesome soundtracks too

i guess theres a few stephen king films that COULD go in but they're hit and miss. i know you have IT and carrie in your list there but also have the shining, misery, tommyknockers, thinner just off the top of my head

nah there isn't a Hostel 4, I think I got a bit carried away with myself when I was typing the list out and thought I'd invent a sequel that never even existed.

The Shining is on the list, and don't forget Salems Lot is King as well, I think Tommyknockers is one that I have never actually seen

Hereditary 

The Dark and the Wicked

Kill list

I actually thought I had hereditary already, I think that I was going to get it at one point but I've already seen it 4 or 5 times so I went for something else that I hadn't seen in a while

Never heard of The Dark and the Wicked, I'll keep my eye open for it

Kill List, I did own this many moons ago on DVD, one of my mates had it off me and never gave it back

All of those are good.

My favorite King movie is The Green Mile. Really more suspenseful/supernatural I suppose but just one of my all time favorites.

You will love the dark and the wicked. Probably the best horror film I’ve seen in the last 12 months And like your good self I watch a lot of horror films

you're not missing much from the tommyknockers

if you're into ridiclous, just pure comedy horror (i noticed mega shark v giant octopus) another king film is maximum overdrive. very silly indeed

[Follyfoot]

Also The Babadook

[theunderstudy]

Favourite Stephen King related film is Shawshank. An all-timer. Favourite Stephen King related awful entertaining film is Sleepwalkers which is just... wow

Watched the Final Cut edition recently. What an incredible, messed up, unsettling, creepy film.

Dreamcatcher - shit weasels! 

On a more serious note, King movie adaptations which are worth a look are Apt Pupil, Cujo and Doctor Sleep.

Stay far away from The Lawnmower Man, The Dark Tower, and Cell. 

I have a bit of a soft spot for The Langoliers and Desperation too, although I'd stop well short of suggesting them for a horror movie collection...unless you're a Constant Reader and avid collector, like me...

Christ I haven't seen Lawnmower man since I was a kid, Cujo is great, I watched that again on The Horror Channel a few weeks back, I enjoyed Doctor Sleep as well, I like Flannagan as a director.

Dark Tower was one of the worst book to film adaptations I've ever seen, that book series has so much potential and they absolutely **** it.

@leemond2008 do you do international horror films?

Seen a few over the years, lmk and I'll put a list together. The European's and Korean's make some great horror/thriller movies.

[Follyfoot]

Let the right one in is excellent as well

No15, if that's the Korean one from last year its really good.

I'd class Parasite in these lists.

Swedish original is the better version IMO but the remake is a good attempt too.

Yeah, I posted it on here after I'd watched it. One of the best I'd seen for a while.

Need to put together a new Korean Horror movie list...

Ps.. I have to research the ratings with this category as there is so much rubbish. I've perfected the art of this without finding out to much about the movie, I like to go in as blind as.possible.
