What is everyone's favorite horror film per category? Here's mine:
Zombie - Return of the Living Dead
Werewolf - Silver Bullet
Vampire - The Lost Boys
Slasher - The Burning
Remake - The Texas Chainsaw Massacre
Supernatural - Pet Sematary
Foreign - Battle Royale
Thriller - Jaws (guess it counts as a Thriller)
Funny how Corey Haim made my list twice.

Zombie - Depends on what you consider a "zombie movie" (For examples, would Pet Sematary count? Evil Dead? The Serpent and the Rainbow? House by the Cemetary?) >.>
Werewolf - The Howling
Vampire - The Return of Count Yorga
Slasher - The Texas Chainsaw Massacre '74
Remake - House on Haunted Hill
Supernatural - Phantasm
Foreign - Suspiria
Thriller - First 3 Saw films, as one entity

I wouldn't count Pet Sematary as a Zombie film, no. It was more supernatural to me, as they could be killed as normally as a human could. Poison to Gage, gunshot to Gus in part two. They eat, they sleep, and so on. So it's more of a controlled body by evil spirits. Hence, the indian burial ground.
The Evil Dead would also be a tricky one as they were raised from the dead by evil spirits but I can see where some would view it as a Zombie film. I see it more as Cheese Horror haha.
Good choices though!

Oh yeah, forget about the lovely comedic horror. I guess I could pick Return of the Living Dead but back then it wasn't necessarily MEANT to be funny versus now with films like Shaun of the Dead. I think for a comedic horror film I'd have to roll with Shaun of the Dead most definately.

"send more paramedics"? >.>
For my comedy horror flick, I'd definitely choose Basket Case, and the sequels if that's allright X). As for the zombie film if Pet Sematary and Evil Dead don't count, I'd just go for Romero's Day of the Dead; crafts a great atmosphere with great effects!
I'm enjoying your list, Nobtis; Fright Night and Frighteners are two of the films that first really got me into the genre

Yeah good list. Was tough for me to pick favorites. I really wanted to somehow fit The People Under The Stairs on my list but ya can't have everything now can you? And my lists generally tend to change depending on how I'm feeling and whatnot. Some days I like movies more than others.
