Well hello there boils and ghouls....it is I, your dark master of monsters Monstermaster13 with a special i'd like to call Monstermaster13's Hall Of Horror, where I highlight all of my personal favorite horror flicks in the persona of a horror host, without further adu let's get started.   The comments are in a typical wisecracking horror host style.

1. Sleepy Hollow (1999). Our first horror story comes from the twisted mind of Tim Burton and it is definitely a head-turner. Speaking of turning heads....our friend and fellow bloodthirsty psycho Christopher Walken lets out his inner Hessian and it is glorious. Why, all that blood makes my..rrrrr...mouth water just thinking about it.
2. An American Werewolf In London. I have a riddle for all my horrific friends out there...what's lean, mean, covered in hair, has wicked looking teeth and terrorizes people in England? If you guessed Russell Brand, you would be half-correct but if you guessed a werewolf - then you win. John Landis brings us this tale of lycanthropy induced carnage and it is still a classic even to this day.
3. Cat People (1982) -   Being that this is the world wide spiderweb we are talking about we all know everyone loves felines...and boy have I got quite the tale for you. Cat People is the tale of rather incestuous Werecats who transform if they get it on with a human and only killing can stop it.
4. Carrie (1976). Our first Stephen King stop on this list is none other than Carrie, the tale of a girl with amazing telekinetic powers and of why bullying is a menace to our own society.   But this is not the only Stephen King movie we'll be talking about on this list, oh no...there's more to come.
5. The Silence Of The Lambs. This delightful Oscar-winning horror tale is one that is best served with fava beans and a chianti. *hisses slightly*
6. Fright Night (1985). Allow me to take you all back to a time when vampires were all kinds of awesome, a time known as the 80's. Our first vampire themed tale is of a young horror fan named Charlie Brewster who suspects his charismatic new neighbor Jerry may be a bloodsucking fiend.   Don't you worry, i'm sure your neighbors are perfectly normal...nothing wrong with them at all...oh wait...what's that? Is that a coffin?
7. Gremlins. Let me introduce you to my special pet....his name is Gizmo and he's a Mogwai. What's that? You want to own of these yourself? Oh...I don't know, owning a pet is a BIG responsibility...I don't think you're quite up to it. After all - you have to keep these little guys away from bright lights (it causes them to explode you know), water (it causes them to multiply) and most importantly you are not allowed to give these guys any food after midnight (or else they'll become gremlins and wreak total havoc). Think you're up to it, huh? Well then...have I got the horror story for you...I call it...Gremlins, from director Joe Dante!
8. Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992) - With all the vampire related media these days we sometimes forget the classics like this little beaut by Francis Ford Coppola. Now this is a movie you can definitely sink your teeth into - pun intended of course. Not to mention Gary Oldman really does live up to his title of man of many faces as Dracula in all his incarnations. Plus, I like how they based it off the original story and how they added in some interesting parts like the Count's backstory, and the whole reincarnation aspect with Mina being a reincarnation of his late wife. Amazing special fx as well. Plus Anthony Hopkins steals the show as Abraham Van Helsing, as does Tom Waitts as Renfield. Fun fact: Gary Oldman learned to speak Romanian for this movie. Also did you know that Oldman kept one of the coffins from the movie and used it to scare guests at a party? He did. It's true! Also this movie is the inspiration for the anime Hellsing.
9. The Howling. Oh my...I didn't think that my legion of horror-crazed maniac friends loved werewolves so much...but it looks like they LOVE them. Ah yes, The Howling. Another brilliant tale from the twisted mind of Joe Dante. A perfect movie for those lonely nights in, that is unless it's a full moon out.   You might want to pack some silver bullets just in case.
10. Wolf. Ah yes, my good friend Jack Nicholson. He's certainly no stranger to letting out his inner beast. And in this modern-age werewolf flick,   he goes all out - fur, claws and all.   Another movie perfect for those wolf lovers out there, just make sure it's not a full moon night when you watch this.
11. Queen Of The Damned. Looks like we're dealing with vampire royalty here this time, because we're dealing with Akasha herself - and boy is she a force to be reckoned with.
12. The Leprechaun Franchise. Clint Eastwood once asked us if we felt lucky, but I think now your luck is starting to run out. Especially when you meet our vertically challenged, magic wielding, gold-crazed fiendish friend the Leprechaun.   Trust me, you're going to be wishing you weren't at the receiving end of his magical abilities.
13. Hellraiser franchise.   I have something very special to show you. *holds out a box* Do you know what kind of box this is? No..it's not someone's birthday, it's a puzzlebox. And do you know what happens if you solve it? You'll meet our friend Pinhead and his cenobite friends! And boy do they have such sights to show you.
14. Child's Play franchise. We all have a favorite toy that we love to play with, for me it is definitely Chucky here. Chucky's tale is one you should definitely steer clear of especially if you have fond of dolls.   Because you might not think of dolls the same way again, and I guarantee it.
15. The Fly (1986).   Hey! Just what the hell are you doing with that fly-swatter? You weren't planning on hurting this poor innocent fly now were you? I sure as hell hope not. Don't you know that's Seth Brundle you're trying to squish here? Looks like you need to take a look at this tragic tale by the master of Body Horror himself - David Cronenberg. I mean how would you like it if you were turning into an insect and someone was trying to kill you, huh?
16. The Addiction. Sometimes we forget that vampires - much like us are human too. And luckily we have this movie to remind us why, if you're looking for a vampire movie that is for a more sophisticated crowd - try this one. It might just satisfy your own personal lust for blood.
17. Killer Klowns From Outer Space. Who here likes to laugh? Everyone does. After all, laughter is the best medicine - and you can't spell slaughter without laughter. The circus is in town and it looks like it's going to be killer! So come one, come all!
18. The Dead Zone. Wouldn't it be fascinating to see into the future? I certainly think so. But what if the visions you received were nothing but bad news? How would you cope with it then? Well...you should take a look at this little tale titled the Dead Zone, another work of art submitted into the hall thanks to Stephen King.
19. The Prophecy trilogy. We all know about angels but would you ever want to see one up close? If your answer is yes, then might I suggest a look at this little trilogy.   Christopher Walken strikes again - this time as an evil arch-angel. What can I say? You can't have enough of Walken.
20. Return Of The Living Dead. Since zombies are pretty much the current monster craze, I thought it would only be appropriate to add this little gem to the hall of horror.   This is the first zombie movie to make their zombies brain-eaters. You must watch this movie if you haven't already.
21. The Lost Boys. Like Fright Night, this little tale is a vampire tale and a good one at that. I heavily recommend this for you all, my bloodthirsty friends and just about anyone who wants to get into the vampire genre.
22. From Dusk Till Dawn. From the combined teamwork of Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez comes one of the most epic vampire movies ever released. This movie is terrifying, awesome, spectacular and badass, with amazing sfx and an unpredictable plot, you think it's going to be a straight-forward Tarantino-esque crime movie but nope - it's pure grade A vampiric badassery.   The Gecko Brothers are brilliantly played by George Clooney and Quentin himself respectively but what really sells this movie are the performances, the sfx and of course the vampires. Also worth noting is that Cheech Marin is in this movie, as is legendary makeup artist Tom Savini - who plays the best character ever - Sex Machine, and Danny 'Machete' Trejo. Yep, Machete is in this and he becomes a vampire.   Oops, I forgot someone. To all you guys out there,   I think it's time you said hello to the reason why you should watch this....and that reason has a name, she is called Salma Hayek. She dances up a sexy storm in this movie and she comes across as not only menacing but alluring as well. Plus what I find particularly impressive is the scene with the snake, especially since in real life Salma is afraid of snakes and underwent hypnosis induced training to get over her fear.   The MPAA was also negotiated around easily thanks to the blood being green (no, it's not 'monster blood' like in a certain Goosebumps book and episode), you see - the MPAA has no problem with blood, they just don't like it being the color red. If you're on the lookout for a movie with some bite to it as well as plenty of action, head on down to the Titty Twister.   PS: Let's see a show of hands...who wants to see a movie where Machete teams up with Sex Machine? *every hand in the world goes up* I thought so.
23. Shaun Of The Dead. Get your cricket bats ready, we're going to be kicking some zombie ass tonight! Our friends Shaun and Ed have requested us to partake in this tale titled Shaun Of The Dead.   So let's get ready to kick some zombie asses, shall we? Oh, by the way -   you've got red on you.
24. Vamp. I gotta say this is a very unique vampire movie as it's probably one of the first to have the location for the vampire's lair be in a nightclub, and what makes it even more unique is the presence of Grace Jones as Katrina the head vampire. And my god is she awesome! I love that crazy seduction dance she does and the zebra-like makeup she wears, it's like she's a live-action version of Zecora except as a vampire.    So in a way, this movie inspired From Dusk Till Dawn.
25. Tales From The Darkside: The Movie. What's even better than one horror story? How about 3-4 stories all in one movie? As a horror storyteller, I definitely approve of this little gem.
26. Night Of The Demons (1988). Looks like we've been invited to a party, at Angela's place! This looks like it is going to be a lot of fun...you should definitely check this one out for yourself. But be careful, you don't want to become possessed. That would be the worst!
27. Evil Dead trilogy.   Sam Raimi submitted this masterpiece trilogy into the hall of horror because he knows how much you love it, and Bruce Campbell himself personally recommends you check these out for yourself.
28. Misery. We've all dealt with stalkers and creepy fan-girls in some way or another, and this tale submitted by Stephen King and starring the marvelous Kathy Bates deals with just that.   I know i've seen my own personal share of people like our dear friend Ms Wilkes,   luckily though - they're not as scary as her.
29. The Shining.   Mad Jack Nicholson is on the loose again...and this time he's gone completely deranged. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy, you know. You probably won't want to spend time in a hotel ever again after seeing this Stephen King penned horror classic.
30. Candyman franchise. We can't say the title of this tale more than once or he might show up and that would be bad because that means I would get killed off and we can't have a horror show without a host now can we? Of course not! After all, yours ghoully is so so beloved it would be a sin to see him die...right?
31. Critters franchise. Remember my Mogwai pet from earlier? Well, let me introduce to his friends. They are called Crites and they're from outer space. And just like our mogwai/gremlin friends, they are crazy and love to cause mayhem and chaos. Remind me to tell Discord about these little guys,   he'd love them.
32. The Thing (1982) -   Do you know what's worse than horror you can see? Unseen horror! As in the kind that can take on any shape or form but can't be seen by the naked eye. Like the Thing for example, this monster is a shapeshifting alienoid that can turn into anyone or anything - which really does add to the paranoia.   Why, it could be anything or anyone...it could be one of your relatives, it could be your best friend, it could even be that cute little dog that you see everyday on your way to work.
33. The Wolfman (2010). Aroooooooooooooooooooooooo! Another horror re-imagining that updates itself while still being true to the original.   This one is a real howler! Remember - even a man who is pure in heart and says his prayers by night may become a wolf when the wolfbane blooms and the autumn moon is bright.
34. Friday the 13th franchise. To some thirteen is an unlucky number, but not if your name is Jason Voorhees! To him, thirteen is a very lucky number indeed. The man behind the mask is always out on the prowl in search of victims. Remember, steer clear of Camp Crystal Lake.
35. Creepshow. Good ol Stephen King, he delivered the goods to us in spades with this collaboration he did with George A. Romero, we've got quite a selection of stories to share with this compilation. And our good friend Tom Savini has decided to lend a helping hand as well...remind me to introduce him to the Hessian Horseman - I think the Hessian would love him a lot.   We guarantee that this is the most fun you'll have being scared.
36. Frankenstein (1994) - Another good re-imagining of a classic horror icon, sadly no one talks about this one as much but I know my fellow gore-hounds certainly do. It's an underrated gem for sure. Definitely worth adding to my hall of horror, especially if you liked Bram Stoker's Dracula.
37. Poltergeist. I LOVE ghost stories, don't you? And boy do I have quite the ghost story for you, this one is a real screamer - and it is timeless in every way and it is a tale that must be seen to be believed. Do you know what it makes it even more spooky? It's that there is a supposed real curse behind it as well.   Oooh, I love me some Hollywood urban legends!
38. The Exorcist. You don't really need me to explain this story, do you? Of course you don't. You know about this one already, so I have no doubt in my mind that you know this is also based on a supposed true story.   Yep, it is. Plus...you have this movie to thank for the 'Scary Maze game'.
39. Innocent Blood. My friend John Landis decided it would be a good idea to add this to my hall of horror, and he was right - this fits in very well with the other vampire stories here. And this has a neat twist to it too. I suggest checking this one out, especially if you are into vampires or have a bloodthirsty streak like I do.
40. The Hunger.   If you're looking for a really clever vampire movie with an unique concept...check this beauty out, it's elegant and stylish and also perfect for those bloodsuckers out there who want to be classy and sophisticated.   You must simply see this story for yourself.
41. Trance/The Eternal/Kiss Of The Mummy.   Not to be confused with the Mummy movies with Brendan Fraser, this mummy tale takes place in Ireland and features a rather unique type of mummy who is a shapeshifting druid-witch/priestess who takes on the appearance of our heroine. Oh...and the Walken makes yet another return in this.
42. Nightmare On Elm Street franchise.   I hope you all weren't planning on sleeping tonight,   because if you were - you can expect a visit from my dear friend Freddy Krueger.   I hear that he can be a real nightmare.   And he will most likely end up becoming your own literal worst nightmare as well.
43. The Company Of Wolves. What's that I hear you say? Fairy tales are for little kids? Bah! That is ridiculous. Scary Tales are for everyone of all ages...you're never too old for a good scary tale! And this is one you'd all recognize - with a twist. Oh my, what big pointy wolf-like ears you have! All the better to listen to my stories with, my friend! What hairy paw-like hands you have! All the better to cuddle up with your favorite horror host with, my friend! My, what massive paw-like feet you have! All the better for putting up and listening to my stories with, my friend! Oh my! What nice shaggy fur you have! All the better to be petted by me - with, my friend! Oh my, what vicious looking sharp teeth you have! All the better to bite into some nice juicy snacks while you listen to my stories with, my friend!
44. Dellamorte Delamore/Cemetery Man.   The folks down at the old graveyard my zombie friends lived in really dig this one and said it would be absolutely criminal not to have it here. So, I did just that - I put it in my hall of horrors for display, for all those necrophiliacs out there.
45. Trilogy of Terror. Do you see this little keepsake here? His name is Zuni or He Who Kills, and he is a Zuni fetish doll.   He has a gold chain around his neck to make sure he doesn't come to life and start slashing everyone to bits. We think he'd get along very well with the others in the 'Killer Doll' department.
46. Phantasm series. (Not pictured) -   You really must pay a visit to our friend the Tall Man, he can tell you everything you need to know about this horror franchise and more.   But he careful, you might end up on his list of future victims. And that wouldn't be nice, especially not for most of our human guests.
47. Bubba Ho-tep. Elvis lives! And apparently he fights soul-sucking mummies! You must head over to the 'Bubba Hotep' exhibit for more information on this subject though,   because I can't do it justice - it's just THAT awesome!

Enjoy your stay here in the hall of horrors, after all - we're all friendly monsters here and I know that you'll want to embrace your monstrous side as well, so don't be afraid to let out your inner monster and join in on the fun here in the hall of horrors. Oh, and to all human guests - please don't feed the monsters especially not the mogwai - we don't want the Gremlins to attack now, do we? Of course not!

6. Fright Night (1985). Allow me to take you all back to a time when vampires were all kinds of awesome, a time known as the 80's. Our first vampire themed tale is of a young horror fan named Charlie Brewster who suspects his charismatic new neighbor Jerry may be a bloodsucking fiend.   Don't you worry, i'm sure your neighbors are perfectly normal...nothing wrong with them at all...oh wait...what's that? Is that a coffin?
7. Gremlins. Let me introduce you to my special pet....his name is Gizmo and he's a Mogwai. What's that? You want to own of these yourself?

Romero, we've got quite a selection of stories to share with this compilation. And our good friend Tom Savini has decided to lend a helping hand as well...remind me to introduce him to the Hessian Horseman - I think the Hessian would love him a lot.   We guarantee that this is the most fun you'll have being scared.
36. Frankenstein (1994) - Another good re-imagining of a classic horror icon, sadly no one talks about this one as much but I know my fellow gore-hounds certainly do. It's an underrated gem for sure. Definitely worth adding to my hall of horror, especially if you liked Bram Stoker's Dracula.
37. Poltergeist. I LOVE ghost stories, don't you? And boy do I have quite the ghost story for you, this one is a real screamer - and it is timeless in every way and it is a tale that must be seen to be believed. Do you know what it makes it even more spooky? It's that there is a supposed real curse behind it as well.   Oooh, I love me some Hollywood urban legends!
38. The Exorcist. You don't really need me to explain this story, do you? Of course you don't. You know about this one already, so I have no doubt in my mind that you know this is also based on a supposed true story.   Yep, it is. Plus...you have this movie to thank for the 'Scary Maze game'.
39. Innocent Blood. My friend John Landis decided it would be a good idea to add this to my hall of horror, and he was right - this fits in very well with the other vampire stories here. And this has a neat twist to it too. I suggest checking this one out, especially if you are into vampires or have a bloodthirsty streak like I do.
40. The Hunger.   If you're looking for a really clever vampire movie with an unique concept...check this beauty out, it's elegant and stylish and also perfect for those bloodsuckers out there who want to be classy and sophisticated.   You must simply see this story for yourself.
41. Trance/The Eternal/Kiss Of The Mummy.   Not to be confused with the Mummy movies with Brendan Fraser, this mummy tale takes place in Ireland and features a rather unique type of mummy who is a shapeshifting druid-witch/priestess who takes on the appearance of our heroine. Oh...and the Walken makes yet another return in this.
42. Nightmare On Elm Street franchise.   I hope you all weren't planning on sleeping tonight,   because if you were - you can expect a visit from my dear friend Freddy Krueger.   I hear that he can be a real nightmare.   And he will most likely end up becoming your own literal worst nightmare as well.
43. The Company Of Wolves. What's that I hear you say? Fairy tales are for little kids? Bah! That is ridiculous. Scary Tales are for everyone of all ages...you're never too old for a good scary tale! And this is one you'd all recognize - with a twist. Oh my, what big pointy wolf-like ears you have! All the better to listen to my stories with, my friend! What hairy paw-like hands you have! All the better to cuddle up with your favorite horror host with, my friend! My, what massive paw-like feet you have! All the better for putting up and listening to my stories with, my friend! Oh my! What nice shaggy fur you have! All the better to be petted by me - with, my friend! Oh my, what vicious looking sharp teeth you have! All the better to bite into some nice juicy snacks while you listen to my stories with, my friend!
44. Dellamorte Delamore/Cemetery Man.   The folks down at the old graveyard my zombie friends lived in really dig this one and said it would be absolutely criminal not to have it here. So, I did just that - I put it in my hall of horrors for display, for all those necrophiliacs out there.
45. Trilogy of Terror. Do you see this little keepsake here? His name is Zuni or He Who Kills, and he is a Zuni fetish doll.   He has a gold chain around his neck to make sure he doesn't come to life and start slashing everyone to bits. We think he'd get along very well with the others in the 'Killer Doll' department.
46. Phantasm series. (Not pictured) -   You really must pay a visit to our friend the Tall Man, he can tell you everything you need to know about this horror franchise and more.   But he careful, you might end up on his list of future victims. And that wouldn't be nice, especially not for most of our human guests.
47. Bubba Ho-tep. Elvis lives! And apparently he fights soul-sucking mummies! You must head over to the 'Bubba Hotep' exhibit for more information on this subject though,   because I can't do it justice - it's just THAT awesome!

Enjoy your stay here in the hall of horrors, after all - we're all friendly monsters here and I know that you'll want to embrace your monstrous side as well, so don't be afraid to let out your inner monster and join in on the fun here in the hall of horrors. Oh, and to all human guests - please don't feed the monsters especially not the mogwai - we don't want the Gremlins to attack now, do we? Of course not!
