So I sort of went with classics, variety of theme, etc. NOT a criticism of anyone else's list!!!

Something Wicked This Way Comes
Halloween
Return of the Living Dead
From Beyond
Candyman
The Haunting(of Hill House)
Hellraiser
Evil Dead
Cabin in the Woods
House
The Entity
Poltergeist
The Blair Witch Project
Videodrome
The Thing

AHHH Candyman! Damn, I completely forgot it. Love your list!

Thanks. Yeah I wanted to include some atmospheric films. I love when what his name talks and he's all sultry, so neat.

That's a nice horror shelf! You have about 5 titles that I almost added to my list. BWP and Videodrome would probably make it if it were a list of 18! Videodrome in particular is a movie that fits all my criteria for "must have" status.

I ignored all the lists and putting up my own:

1 - The Exorcist (director's cut)
2 - The Descent
3 - Resident Evil
4 - House of 1,000 Corpses
5 - Blade
6 - Interview with a Vampire
7 - 30 Days of Night
8 - Dead Snow
9 - Silent Hill
10 - The Hills Have Eyes (remake)
11 - Hostel
12 - The Collector
13 - Priest
14 - Sleepy Hollow
15 - Cabin in the Woods

It really is hard to narrow it down to 15.

I forgot about Silent Hill. If I had remembered I would've included it in my list. Such an amazing film. The Descent was number 16 for me, such a good film too.

This fifteen is as fun as any that's been posted. There's quite a few that I wouldn't put on my list, but there are pretty much NONE there that I don't find very entertaining. I love that you have House OF 1,000 Corpses on your list. That's such a polarizing film among Horror lovers. Myself, I'm a fan, but you just know you're going to get a strong reaction when you bring up that title. I think that's actually true for most if not all of RZ's cinematic work.
