In no order....

Evil Dead 2

Alien+Aliens

Predator

Jacob's Ladder

Silence of the Lambs

Honorable Mention: POD

Shit, totally forgot about that.

Although it's kinda just the night-vision part that found creepy. When he almost touches her hair, such an awesome scene.

Alien, Paranormal Activity, Blair Witch, Open Water, Howling.

As for those middle three (which I know people are going to scoff at and question my taste on)....I like psychological horror; how good the movie is surrounding it is really a moot point, and all three of those despite their flaws hits a very primal and relatable notes of horror I find truly frightening.

Howling pretty much solely for Eddie's transformation. Amazing stuff.

Do you mean The VVitch?

The Shining, paranormal activity 3, can't think of much more than that!

@Storm_Marine:

Aren't they one and the same?......I really liked that movie, it was quite different. In fact, each of the movies on my list are quite different.

So yes, this is the movie from a couple years ago that starred the actress that was recently in the psychological thriller "Split"

@NakedHeadcrab: I actually made a forum topic on that film. It scared me shitless. lol.

• The Evil Dead
• Texas Chainsaw Massacre
• Alien
• The Ring (Japanese version)
• Dawn of the Dead

Off the top of my head:

1> Jacob's Ladder (even if some will argue that this is not horror)

2> Phantasm

3> A Nightmare on Elm Street: Dream Warriors

4> The House of the Devil

5> Suspiria

Hard to list just five.

Carnival of Souls is excellent

Evil Dead is a wonderful dark comedy too

The Witch, actually kind of terrified for me a while

I respect The Exorcist so I'll give that a spot

and uh... maybe Psycho or Jaws?

Some honorable mentions would be The Shining, Night of the Living Dead, Alien, etc.

Paranormal activity 2

Sinister

Insidious

The conjuring 2

Mama

All films I've seen at cinema, which makes the difference

I accept several older movies are probabily better than what I listed, however I don't get immersed into horror films at home on smaller TV with out surround sound etc.

Cinema is were I get into horror films.

• The Demon (1963)
• Possession (1981)
• I Walked with a Zombie (1943)
• The Haunting (1963)
• The Stone Tape (1972)

Evil Dead

Dead Alive (Braindead)

High Tension

Re-animator

Audition

The exorcist, Insidious, The Shining, Silent Hill, Alien.

Here is a link to my top ten horror movies ever, as well as some overrated ones (several of which have shown up in this thread).

For the lazy, here are the top five form that list:

5. Evil Dead (the original)

4. The Thing (1982 version of course)

3. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974 version, of course)

2. You're Next

1. It Follows

I will never understand the love that movies like the Shining and The Conjuring get. At least others, like the Exorcist, I understand, but those are two I will never get. The Conjuring was a by the numbers haunted house movie with nothing new in it. It also relied way too much on jump scares. The Shining is a pretentious attempt at being artsy and deep and to be honest is more dull than scary. Both are well made films but that's about the extent of the positive things I can say about them.
