3. Dawn of the Dead (78)

I agree that it's horrible, but I hope you got your ass kicked for demanding your money back. :P

[fatces]

friday the 13th
event horizont
evil dead 1&2
the descent
texas chainsaw massacre

[Tussell]

I don't understand the big deal with Evil Dead 2.

Dead by Dawn wasn't the best. In my opinion.

[Ragana]

For me, in no particular order( not the best, just the scariest)

Fear Dot Com
The Hills Have Eyes
Signs( that made me jump a few times)
Nightmare on Elm Street
Friday the 13th

[Predator x360a]

Friday the 13th

Halloween
Texas chainsaw massacre
and
The wiggles lol no seriously Dead Silence

[DaveOgden93080]

Night of the Living Dead
A Nightmare on Elm Street
Halloween
Stephen Kings IT
HellRaiser

In Night of the living dead the events take place in Louisville Ky if you listen to the radio in the begining. I was born n raised there so for me it gets number 1.

[Illution]

the descent


Whoa, seriously man? I disliked that movie.. The first sighting was kinda freaky but the whole movie was just old. It did have one good part though, you remember when that guy got the pole through the head? oh god I loved that part me and my friend were joking about that the whole rest of the night and the next day. And I can't believe none of the chicks were hot.. lame..
For me:

Poltergeist
Exorcist
I don't know the name of it but it was about an underwater monster or something
Jaws - Yea, I'm a pansy. It wasn't so much the movie as the affect on me. :D
Nightmare on Elm Street

[housemdfan]

Anything stephen King
Saw
The Village
13 ghosts

runner-ups:
the Hannibal trilogy
Any of the original Japanese horror films
Any non-remakes of horror classics

[Roflcoptered]

I agree with first list...
Anyone who puts Saw or Hostel on their list doesnt know what a horror film is. Saw and Hostel are not even movies. You get to watch people get tortured for 90 minutes:eek::(. If you want to watch torture, go to guantanamo bay and hang out with the terrorists there - you paying to watch Saw at a theater is a vote for more crappy horror movies:mad::mad::mad:

[Tytech]

1.Scream(all of them)
2.Hills have eyes
3.When a stranger calls (remake)
4.Idle Hands (probably should be number 2)
5.Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning

[Tussell]

Anything stephen King
Saw
The Village
13 ghosts
boogeyman

runner-ups:

You cannot be serious. The Ring is the greatest American horror film in the last 10 year. I will admit that Ringu (The Japanese original) IS a better film overall but the eerieness and setting as a whole just had a gloomy and dark overtone which was absolutely incredible. Horror really has gone down the drain and is now based pretty much totally on gore and cheap 'Jumpy' horror other than tense and suspenseful moments that the master of suspense Alfred Hitchcock brought us.
Also if you demanded your money back after seeing any film you are a complete jerk and if I were the movie usher while you were complaining I probably would have slapped you.

Here is my list --

-Psycho
-The Ring
-One Missed Call (Fantastic Japanese horror film and vastly underrated.)
-The Shining
-Alien

^^ I agree with this dude. The Ring was one the only horror movies to really scare me. Only 2 have actually caused me to lose sleep. Ring and The original Exorcist.

[Tussell]

Damn right.

There's no reason to demand money back... Anywho.

When you had mentioned Alfred Hitchcock I immediately got a chill down my spine.
I was like, addicted to his films when I was younger. Not because they're were SCARY, but just good.
Rear Window is definately an instant classic. :-D
