Friday the 13th 6
Dead Alive
The Exorcist
Ginger Snaps
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre

You got to give a newbie, a wide range in types of horror, give them Slasher (Friday the 13th 6) Gore/Splatter (Dead Alive) Ocult (The Exorcist) Modern (Ginger Snaps) and Classic (TCM) I realize that there are many other horo genres but it is hard to include thm all in only 5 movies. If you sit them down and have them watch Halloween, Friday the 13th, and NOES, then tell them that is what horror is, they will only know what slasher/horror is, and to truly give them a wide view of what true horror is they need to see that there is more than just one branch of horror. They may like one more than the other. But if they only see one angle of horror and they dislike it, they may think that all horror movies are like this and disown horror all together. This in a way kinda shows truth to my theory that there is a type of horror for everybody.

i actually think house of 1,000 corpses would be nice to add to any of these lists... it's full of the crazies.. it's a lot like texas chainsaw ... and it's got some really fucked up moments..

and freddy... i've never shown evil dead to anyone and had them hate it.. they loved it
