It's difficult, but overall I'd have to say Texas Chainsaw Massacre. It didn't rely on "jump" scenes or the dark or a manipulative soundtrack... instead it was simple, minimilistic, and highly disturbing in the fact that this *could* happen (versus the immortal killer, possessed doll, ect...).

I wouldn't go quite so far as to say it's my absolute #1 favorite, but it's pretty much got all the ingredients of what I would truly consider "horrific".

Exorcist hands down.... what the hell is not scarey about seein your kid walk down the steps upside down on all fours. And as bad as pea soup is, to make it look that good is priceless

I liekd the remake but it just wasn't scary or even creepy. And the ending was so Hollywood I think I even laughed. Loved the addition of the Horse scene on the ferry though that was great.

I would have to say a tie between Noes1 and Friday the 13th. Sorry can't decide which is better:p

since everyone else posted their #2s, im gonna post mine.

1- TCM
2-Dawn of the Dead

Mine is Evil Dead Trap.

Man, this is a hard one. I would say Night of the Living Dead, the first one, and my second would be ummmm..... NOES1

Original Night of the Living Dead.


Followed extrememly closesly by Candyman (dont kill me!)

the single greatest horror film is.......
THE EVIL DEAD
