Best Horror Movies

[Jake_82]

What are your top 10 horror movies? Judge by how much overall you were scared by it... for instance, Donnie Darko or 28 Days Later are technically horror movies, and there were parts that were scary, but since Donnie Darko was more of a sci-fi/teen film and 28 Days Later was more of a "thriller," I wouldn't put them at the top of my list.

your gonna get a redirect but on the subject.  I dont think that Donnie Darko in anyway is a horror film but 28 days later definatly is.

and why the hell not, in no particular order


Scream
Halloween
The Excorsist
Psycho
IT
Evil Dead
The Shining
28 Days Later
Cabin Fever
Nightmare on Elm Street

not that i personally have a problem with there being two whole threads devoted to horror movies.

28 Days Later was more of a "thriller," I wouldn't put them at the top of my list.

Then how are you defining "horror"? "28 Days Later" has zombies in it, and owes a lot to the horror film "Day Of The Dead". I would consider "Silence Of The Lambs" horror, and that's more of a "thriller" that doesn't have much gore.

I guess I mean, how scary is it... cause there were moments when I jumped in 28 days and some freaky scenes but overall I wasn't really biting my nails scared off my ass

shallow grave

how is shallow grave a horror movie?  that reminds me of when blockbuster or some crappy video store will put a movie like "bringing out the dead" in the horror section because it has 'dead' in the title.

i know what you meann..i've seen lost highway in  a section like that..



..... (swipe)....the scene with the hacking off the body parts was done in a "horror" film like fashion IMO.....

i hope "horror" doesnn't have a negative connotation...like childs play 3 or something like that..i just felt it has that edge......
