What's Your 12 Days of Horror Film for Halloween?

It's fun for fans to list horror films to watch leading up to Halloween.

The one problem with the lists (besides different tastes & sensitivity limits) is that many films are WORN OUT -- seen too many times.

Some enjoy seeing the same film over and over again. I don't. There's few films I've watched repeatedly, for purely enjoyment purposes. For most people, films are primarily enjoyed as stories. When one knows what's going to happen next, it loses it's allure; like a mystery or punchline.

So... I propose, making a list of 12 Days of Horror Film by first making a list of your best/favorite (which are likely worn-out), and then under each of those films, write a film that would be fresh for you: Films you've never seen, or haven't seen in many many years.

Thanks, Neverending! Those are topping my To-See-List.

What new, or not-seen-in-years, horror films are topping your 'To-See-List'?
