[Lookin4Precious]

WOW! I can't believe nobody has said these two.....

1. Alien - one of my top 10 films of all time! For the "chest-burtsing" scene alone this deserves to be on the list.

2. Jaws - nobody can deny that this is one of the scariest movies of all time. I remember watching it as a kid (AND as a young teen mind you) and afterwards I was seriously scared that a shark was going to burst through the floor and get me. Obviously I knew it COULDN'T happen, but that didn't stop the thought from scaring the honey out of me!

Others:
Halloween
Blair Witch Project
Rosemary's Baby
28 Days Later
Dead Alive
The Shining
House of 1000 Corpses (movie FREAKED me out)

My list might change in an hour, but this is definately ten OF my favorite Horror Films if it isn't my ten favorite:
"Curse of the Demon"
"night of the Living Dead"
"Near Dark"
"The Haunting"
"I walked with a Zombie"
"The Hills have Eyes"
"The Black Cat"
"Alien
Suspiria"
"Dude, where's my Car?" This is the most horrorble movie I have ever actually sat through. Still gives me chills when I think about it.

I like all kinds of horror but my favorites tend to be of the psychological scares variety with some flesh eating Zombie action or splattery Giallo thrown in for spice. I'm a huge fan of Val Lewton and Jaques Tourneau but have been known to watch a Fulci or Argento flick now and again. And I love all the Universal horror icons. I guess I like a lot of stuff.

2. Jaws - nobody can deny that this is one of the scariest movies of all time. I remember watching it as a kid (AND as a young teen mind you) and afterwards I was seriously scared that a shark was going to burst through the floor and get me. Obviously I knew it COULDN'T happen, but that didn't stop the thought from scaring the honey out of me!

I can say at the time of my first viewing of the film(around age 10 or so) I didn't find it scary but it obviously had a lasting affect on me because I now have an irrational fear of deep waters and sharks.
