My Top 5 Demon Movies

I like demons. The mythos of demons always intrigued me as a child. I remember reading a book about monsters, and demons had a huge chapter on its own.

In no time, I was hooked.

Demons are interesting beings. Fun to read about, write about and especially, to watch on screen. So, here are my favorite Demon flicks.

Evil Dead- favorite classic


Pumpkinhead- one few original Horrors


The Gate


Night of the Demons-I LOVE this movie


Jeepers Creepers

I LOVED the Evil Dead and Jeepers Creepers! LOVED THEM!
Oh, did that chick get raped by a tree in The Evil Dead?
What was hilarious about Evil Dead is that when you thought it was over it wasn't...lol

I would add the Argento 'Demons' flicks, especially Demons 2

I never looked at the end of jeepers......I was too scared!

Maybe they aren't as scary as I remember them-- that's the danger of re-watching something that scared you years ago. But I remember them being more than just scary-- it's like there is nothing to be done to stop them. No happy ending. I really like that he used so many of the same actors from part 1 in different roles in part 2. It's like it underlines the hopelessness-- reboot history, but the demons still get you.
Those Italian gore flicks from that era can be really appalling and nasty. Like with all the maggots and animal guts they used. I remember one of the Italian zombie flicks where the actress had to hold sheep intestines in her mouth and puke them out as part of her transformation scene.
