What is the BEST Horror movie you have ever seen?

[FrogDemon]

Ok, so we have the cheesiest movies ever seen, so I figured we should have the best horror movie thread.

As alot of you know I seem to tend more towards the cheesier genre in movies, but I do in fact have a couple favorite scary movies that I at least don't think are cheesy. No I won't post about Project: Metalbeast. Because even I KNOW that was cheesy.

One of my favorite horror movies is a movie called Daybreakers.

Now let's get the ball rolling.

Faces Of Death was pretty gory.

[Nibiru2008]

Psycho - the original with Janet Leigh and Anthony Perkins.

It's full of suspense and surprise. Blood and gore don't do a thing for me when it comes to horror movies.

Psycho is a thriller, not technically horror. Blood and gore is also not technically horror. What I am looking for here is movies that are classified as horror.

The Legend of Hell House when I was a kid it scared the bejesus out of me. I also thought Jacob's Ladder was excellent because of the end.

[DarthVader]

Ok I am old fashion classic horror films like the old Frankenstein movie with Boris Karloff



The Thing was a great one that I also like with Kurt Russel..



The Shining with Jack Nicholson
