Favorite Horror: Leave Comments!

Ok, seeing that it's nearly Halloween...

For my own morbid curiosity, please let me know what your favorite horror/scary/thriller movies are.

As for me, I'd say:

THE SHINING -- the creepy social commentary on genocide and family abuse really take this to another level

THE EXORCIST -- still hardcore to this day!

DAWN OF THE DEAD -- the original 70's Romero masterpiece with a brilliant premise and unforgettable scenes

DEAD ALIVE (BRAINDEAD) -- a masterpiece of splatter gore comedy, with zombies, a lawnmower blade, and a minister who kicks arse for the Lord!
