Yep.

Although I dont see the first seven falling out of my top 10 anytime soon. Maybe there will be a change in the order, at most.

However, Alien will always be my numero uno.

I know there are still some great films left to see but here's my Top 50 Horror Movies of all time (in alphabetical order).

And here's my Top 10:
  1. Psycho
  2. The Tingler
  3. The Evil Dead
  4. The Exorcist
  5. The Orphanage
  6. Saw
  7. [REC.]
  8. Predator
  9. Les Diabolique
  10. Let the right one in

hacelikewhoa 05-12-2009 06:29 AM

cliche...

A nightmare on Elm street, Halloween, The Shining, Friday the 13th, Psycho, Bride of Frankenstein, Jaws, Evil Dead, The Howling, IT.

EDIT: I'm sure the first four will always stick. They have since I was a kid. :)

milktoaste 05-12-2009 08:37 AM

After thinking about it for a few days, I think my top ten has changed three or four times. I didn't include The Thing or Event Horizon or a bunch of others that are only now not at the top of my head. And I thought a top ten would be easy.

Elvis_Christ 05-12-2009 03:55 PM

I can't be fucked looking thru the thread to see if I made a list or not. I'd say most of its still the same... it takes awhile for the newer stuff I've seen to make a top 10 list for me.

10-The Thing (remake)
9- The Shining
8- The Exorcist
7-Nightmare on Elm Street
6- Dracula

It was tough between 1 and 2. Personally I think Bride of Frankenstein is the best horror movie ever made but I watch Halloween more.

MyraHindley 09-28-2009 01:56 PM

I think it's too hard to put these in a proper order, so here they are in random order.

Natural Born Killers
May
Ginger Snaps
American Psycho
Dead Alive
Audition
Cannibal Holocaust
The Decent
Hellraiser
Opera

I have sigs turned off. I got tired of scrolling thru retarded 10 page long signatures.

6. Black Sabbath
7. Psycho
8.What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?

Straker 09-29-2009 06:26 AM

Here's mine, in no particular order:

Jaws
Phantasm
Night of the Living Dead
Evil Dead (trilogy)
Hellraiser
A Nightmare on Elm Street
Salem's Lot
Psycho
Texas Chainsaw Massacre
Halloween

& that's 10...Damn. Looking at it now I notice The Thing (1982), The Exorcist, The Shining, Martin, The Fog, The Omen are all missing & I would've thought they'd have made my top 10. There just the ones off the top of my head as well, I'm bound to have forgotten something. I can easily imagine my top 25 films interchanging depending on my mood.

I'll have to admit, I enjoy Herzog's version a little more. I find it very artistic and atmospheric.

Ditto. The scene in the town square where people have gone delerious from plague is such a beautifully eerie scene.

Not to mention that although Max Schreck is still sinister as hell in the original Nosferatu, Klaus Kinski gives him a real soul and you end up sympathising him. Not to mention the scene where he sees a little cross as he's piling the withcoffins into the church (his reaction always makes me chuckle) and a brilliant twist ending that left me floored when I first saw it.

Nice to see The Sentinel on your list. It's way more obscure than it deserves, with its stellar cast and direction (by Michael Winner of all people). Scared the hell out of me as a kid.

Fearonsarms 11-26-2011 12:39 PM

I think it's a great film but I think its so underrated because of Michael Winner's involvment-he is absolutely despised in the UK.
