This Friday the 13th, sit down and watch one of these great horror movies! From gore to laughs, this list has a little something for everyone.

Today is Friday the 13th and we thought we would help you get in the spirit of doom by recommending some excellent horror movies you can watch to celebrate the unluckiest of days.

I was born on Friday the 13th and being a big horror movie fan, I’ve always treated the day as something of a holiday. So do yourself a favor and grab a couple of friends, a bucket popcorn and sit down tonight to enjoy one or more of these terrific horror films.

One quick note about this list, as this posts has become pretty popular and has caused a lot of debate among readers. This is not a list of the 10 best horror films of all-time. The aim here was to find a wide range of different types of scary or scary/funny horror movies so that there would be a little something for everyone that might come across this list looking to celebrate Friday the 13th. This list has films that range from gory to suspenseful and bad/funny/self-aware horror.

There are so many great horror films and so many of us love the genera and have such strong opinions that I welcome everyone to jump to the comments and provide lists of their owns so reader can continue to get great advice and value from other horror fans, as well as from the list provided here.

With that said, let’s get started!
