Agreed, but has anyone seen Session 9? It's definitely up on my list and worth a watch if you haven't seen it.

1. The Ring (2002) (Or any other movie with creepy crawling girls in white, this one made me hallunicate aftewards).

2. Return of the Living Dead (1985) (First zombie movie I saw as a kid, made me pull my brother's bed next to mine for a year. The word Brains terrified me for years afterwards lol).

3. Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003) (Saw this on the same night as the Ring, just too graphic and creepy, nothing like hanging live people on meat hooks ay?).

4. Alien (1979) (Saw this at too young of an age on Beta video in 1982, felt pretty damn weird and creepy, my favorite movie of all time).

5. A tie between Psycho 2 & Evil Dead (That lady in the basement-cellar).

One more- Jaws still keeps me 20 feet near the shoreline.

What are yours?

I'm with you with the lady in thwe cellar in ED2.....<makes a poor attempt at her voice>......"Somebody's in my fruit cellarrrrrrrrr"

hasn't this thread been done about a billion times by now???

[DAROCKNESSMONSTER]

1. Evil Dead.
2. Halloween.
3. Dawn of the Dead. (original)
4. Nightmare on Elm Street.
5. The Thing.

My list changes all the time, but Evil Dead is almost always going to take the reigns of my number 1 spot.

[Clark Kent]

I will list a couple that are not my absolute favorites but they deserve to be mentioned. "In The Mouth Of Madness" is surprisingly effective as a horror movie. "Event Horizon" is also very effective in sheer terror.
