It's always difficult to make best or must have lists. It's personal opinion versus what people feel are classic horror movies that are great. But many times I won't find myself always watching those movies that others think are great. Something like The Shining although very good wouldn't be in my 15. Also I would cheat a bit for series like this:
1. Halloween 1 & 2 (Originals), 3, & H20 - Even though I'm not crazy about Part 2, I can live with it and like some elements enough to own it. Same goes for H20 which I would add just because of Jamie Lee.
2. Alien & Aliens - The original is more horror but you really can't have the original and skip the sequel which is just as good.
3. Night of the Living Dead (Original and 1990) - Both are classics.
4. Friday the 13th Part 2, 6, 7 (maybe), 8, Jason X, & Freddy vs. Jason - I really hate that there isn't a classic Friday the 13th. Something comparable to Halloween. With the Friday the 13th videogame Kickstarter people are coming out talking about Jason and how much fun the game will be. But it's like people still don't realize that none of the Friday the 13th movies are on the level with Halloween or the original Nightmare on Elm Street. They are far from it to me which is a shame and this is coming from a Friday the 13th fan.
5. Nightmare on Elm Street (Original) & Part 4 - The original is a classic scary horror movie. And I love the 80s feel of Part 4.
6. The Ring (Original & Remake) - Both of these are very moody horror movies. I'm not sure which I prefer.
The rest I would have to think and I would probably go over 15. I'm already over if you don't count the above list as a group.
