I love movies. You might say that I'm nuts about movies. I particularly love horror movies, but I like a little bit of everything. Here are my very favorites, along with why I like them so much.

This list is a work in progress. I'll continue adding movies and descriptions, so if you're a movie fan, check back often.

Psychological (and other) Horror

Of course, I dig a good serial killer flick. I'm not so much into slashers--it takes a special one (like House of 1000 Corpses) to make me happy. But I'm all in favor of killer robots, giant alligators, raving lunatics and tunneling tentacle-y monsters.
