Top Horror Movies

One of my favorite lists to contemplate and question others about : scariest movies. (Kind of revealing, too.) This post is prompted by a similar thread from Ishbadiddle.

Here's my list today (in order):

• Halloween
• Nightmare on Elm Street
• Exorcist

Honorable mentions: there are many movies that creep me out. Even if the movie ultimately stinks...there may be that one image that lurks and ferments and becomes part of one's nightmares and chills forever.

• The Changeling (rickety wheelchair careening down the stairs.)
• The Ring (creeps galore)
• Twilight Zone ("Wanna see something really scarey?)
• Pumpkinhead
• Jaws (truly life altering)
• Jacob's Ladder
• The Shining
• The Amityville Horror
• Friday the 13th
• Candyman
• Don't Be Afraid of the Dark
• Invasion of the Body Snatchers
• The Omen
• Phantasm
• Rosemary's Baby
• When A Stranger Calls

And many many more.
