gwynnegaHorror Movie I Hate: Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2 (2000). I'm a fan of The Blair Witch Project (1999), and wow the sequel is terrible.
Horror Movie I Think Is Overrated: I'm having a hard time thinking of one in particular, but in general I find the slasher genre overrated (or maybe just not to my taste).
Horror Movie I Think Is Underrated: Son of Dracula (1943). Lon Chaney Jr. does not make a convincing vampire, but I love this story of a woman who actively seeks out getting turned. (Possibly the first example of this in film?)
Horror Movie I Love: Carnival of Souls (1962)
Horror Movie I Could Watch on Repeat: Rosemary's Baby (1968), though I could easily say Carnival of Souls for this as well.
Horror Movie That Made Me Fall in Love with Horror Movies: Young Frankenstein (1974), which I saw new in the theater before I saw any of the source material it was spoofing.
Horror Movie That Changed My Life: Frankenstein (1931), which I must've seen not long after Young Frankenstein.
Guilty Pleasure: Hatchet for the Honeymoon (1970). I first saw this on TV as a kid. It is very silly yet gorgeous and compelling.
