2 Silent Hill
3Freddy vs Jason
4 the Beyond
5 The Thing
6 Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2

8 The Entity
9 Mirrior Mirrior

Needful Things and Salem's lot- for their plot

Avatar: Here's to the late, great Steve Dillon. Best. Punisher. Artist. EVER!
I would have to go for Halloween. They got crappy because as usual, people can't leave a good film alone, but it is what I think of when somebody says 'horror film'.
The Exorcist
It's best horror movie ever.
Does somebody die in THE EXORCIST? Never seen it. It was a big deal when it came out, but I was too young to see it. All I ever knew about it was that Linda Blair gets possessed, she spins her head around and some priest comes to cast the demon out of her. Sounded like it had a happy ending to me.
Scariest horror movies, for my money (off the top of my head):
Angel Heart
Prince of Darkness
Allucarda
Marebito
Lost Highway
The Screw-Fly Solution
But, to be fair, I'll jump at just about anything. So, I'm looking more at things that haunted me after. Not so much "best," as "best at $&*^ing me up."
Patsy Walker on TV! Patsy Walker in new comics! Patsy Walker in your brain! And Jessica Jones is the new Nancy! (Oh, and read the Comics Cube.)
JAWS will always be Top Dog to me.
For a while I thought Exorcist but I saw it on the big screen a couple of years ago when they re-releaded it with the new footage but it did age too well. I think it's cause we're far less religious and superstitious nowadays. People have a different fear than the Devil.
