Best Horror Movies of All Time!

[RickGrimes17]

What do you guys think are the best horror movies ever. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!!!

[C_Miller]

Don't think you can mention best of all time without bringing up Frankenstein (1931) or Night of the Living Dead (1968). But my personal favorite is The Thing (1982).

THE HAUNTING [of Hill House] (1963)

[batnbreakfast]

The Exorcist- I think you should care if somebody dies in a horror movie
The Shining- great performances all around
Needful Things and Salem's lot- for their plot
Jeepers Creepers- roadtrip, yay!
Crimson Peak

based on this... would I like KRAMPUS?

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'.

[Batarang]

The Exorcist

It's best horror movie ever.

The Exorcist- I think you should care if somebody dies in a horror movie

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.

Not everybody makes it to the sequel... I just don't like mindless slaughter in most horror flicks (except if its played for black comedy) if you hate the cast to begin with.

On a side note: Did the Exorcist invent Shaky Cam?

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."

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.
