I haven't got into the Insidious series. I know I watched the first one. Perhaps reviewed it here. But I vaguely remember being disappointed by the last parts of the movie. Body Snatchers is one of those classic old school sci-fi horror movies.

2. The Autopsy of Jane Doe

Very difficult choice. My favorite Evil Dead movie is Army of Darkness. And the TV show is great. The Autopsy of Jane Doe is a horror film everyone should check out going in blank. It was recommended to me by people here. I never would have watched it.

3. Halloween (1978)

I love Japanese horror but I have to vote for the classic.

4. Hellraiser (1987)

I'm not the biggest fan of the Texas Chainsaw series. But Hellraiser is one of those must see movies.

5. No vote

I haven't seen Carnival of Souls yet but heard it's something I need to see. So I don't want to vote on this one. Especially since Army of Darkness is my favorite Evil Dead.
Yes! In the last 6 years of so, of the many horror films on this list that I saw for the 2nd time, Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956) impressed me the most. I was really riveted, and had forgotten how good it was. A lot of other films seemed a bit more unstimulating... like Dr Jekyll 1931, Eyes Without a Face, Changeling.

I really need to get into the The Exorcist series. But Halloween 3 is too much of a classic for me.

2. A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984)

I'm probably one of the few that isn't crazy about the original Friday the 13th. In fact, I don't own it and prefer Part 2. That has the flashback and the beginning anyway. Elm Street actually scared me when I was a kid. It's a far better movie than Friday the 13th.

3. No Vote

I still haven't seen Dawn of the Dead. And I thought Get Out was overhyped.

4. Psycho (1960)

Classic Hitchcock. Although I haven't seen Eyes Without A Face but I want to soon.

5. Candyman (1992)

I haven't seen Candyman in a while. I'll probably do a double feature with the original and remake. But I remember not liking The Fly that much.
Just making sure here... you keep mentioning "Series"... you know we're just voting on the one film specified, not the series, right? OK, just checking.

Yeah, I'm surprised too, it was a cool film, it's personal preference, but hadn't stuck me to be quite as horrific good as Exorcist.

The popularity of a lot of these films is surprising me, like Carnival of Souls, Insidious, Autopsy of Jane Doe... that is in comparison to the films they are being compared to. I thought Carnival was cool, though I think Jacob's Ladder did the theme better. It's interesting that some of the known Evil Dead lovers are going with Carnival.

I'm a James Wan fan, and enjoyed Insidious, but personally didn't find it as wrenching as Body Snatchers. I thought Jane Doe was made well, but thought it was fairly commonplace, I mean especially compared to Evil Dead II. The visceral Candyman is a good competitor to The Fly... for me, Fly was riveting nonstop entertainment, loved it.

Of the newer films, I thought Get Out was both excellent and original. Not surprised it's making a good showing.
