 5 best horror movies of all time go ahead. do it.
I want to see what your horror tastes are.
I don't think I could ever pick just 5 favorites, but here are some of mine:
1. The Abominable Dr. Phibes
2. Burial Ground
3. Carnival Of Souls
4. Pieces
5. Tales From The Crypt (the Amicus anthology, not the HBO TV show)
once again, that's just 5 good ones I can think of.

The Exorcist
The Omen
The Shining
Cabinet of Dr. Caligari
Psycho
There's overlap with my sci-fi list and horror.
i.e. The Thing and Alien could theoretically be labeled horror

I liked the remake also.
I can't believe so many of you are saying the Exorcist. I think it's probably THE single most overrated horror movie, if not movie in general, of all time.

If you want something more subtle, The Devil's Backbone is a great ghost story. And even more subtle, The Innocents (the early 60's version).
And if you want extreme, watch Jennifer on the Master's of Horror.
And there is always Audition.

I went with more of the classics. Devil's Backbone is great without a doubt though. If we go into Japanese and Korean Horror there's some amazing stuff I just dont know how it will stand the test of time. Tale of Two Sisters is good Korean horror.

i didn't quite hate it, just thought it was a little too slapstick. i'll admit i loved the shooting contests they had on the roof.
the funny thing is that i thought george romero could've made it a lot better. that was until i saw land of the dead. *shudder*
