2009 HTF Guide to Horror Movies

#1
Rating: 0
Through the years, HomeTheaterForum has provided reviews of horror films, from the little known, to the overblown - from the ghastly to the great.

Here is a summary of some, but not all, of the horror movies reviewed by your favorite site - collected here to help you decide what to watch this Halloween.

While this is posted in the HD Software thread, many reviews are for the Standard Definition version. Blu-Ray versions are indicated in blu!

I will keep adding to this list if you find it useful, helpful, or fun.
