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'?
