If I include Jaws, Id have to include The Host, which I dont consider a horror film either. And the Exorcist. Personally, I don't see it as a horror flick. But I guess I'll include them.
1. The Rocky Horror Picture Show
2. The Blair Witch Project
3. Misery
4. Creepshow
5. The Shining

7. Scream
8. Carrie
9. Halloween
10. Night of the Living Dead (68) You think Rocky Horror is a horror film, but not Carrie, Jaws, or The Exorcist?   Well, it's a parody of horror films, it's not one itself. That's why I didn't include Shaun of the Dead or American Psycho, they're like satires of the genre - respectful satires - but aren't really 'true' horror films. _________________Magic Mike wrote: zwackerm wrote: If John Wick 2 even makes 30 million I will eat 1,000 shoes.

Re: Your top 10 favourite horror films Hard genre to define for me.
Off the top of my head I'd say
The Thing
Shutter
Alone
The Descent
Candyman
Below
How to Get Ahead in Advertising (well it bothers the hell out of me so in it goes)
Society (mass body orge thingie!)
Ringu
The Omen
The Car
The Thing and Shutter would be 1 and 2, the rest interchangable.

Re: Your top 10 favourite horror films Don't go by what some sites think it's horror, but by what you think.

Re: Your top 10 favourite horror films Off the top of my head:
1. Jaws
2. The Thing
3. The Descent
4. 28 Weeks Later
5. Aliens
6. Evil Dead 2
7. Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1950s version)
8. The Exorcist
9. Night of the Living Dead
10. The Evil Dead
Honorable Mention: Psycho, The Birds, Halloween, Alien, Scream, A Nightmare on Elm Street
Army of Darkness is actually my favorite Evil Dead film, but I feel that it moved far enough away from the horror genre to not be counted as such.

Re: Your top 10 favourite horror films I haven't seen nearly enough horror films to make an educated top ten, but here's an uneducated top 8:
01 Psycho
02 Hour of the Wolf
03 Suspiria
04 Jigoku
05 The Shining
06 The Birds
07 28 Weeks Later
08 Jaws
09 Jacob's Ladder
I always say to myself that I'm going to watch the obvious horror films just for obviousity's sake, but whenever the opportunity arises I find myself not caring. Maybe I'll hit up the library this week.

Even though I love the film I wouldn't consider it horror, so in a way I agree. It does sort of stray more into action or thriller than horror (as does Aliens), but I figured that it was close enough to consider a horror movie. _________________

My favourite horror films:
1. Scream
2. Paranormal Activity
3. Paranormal Activity 2
4. Paranormal Activity 3
5. Halloween
6. Saw
7. Drag Me to Hell
8. Halloween H20
9. The Strangers
10. 28 Days Later
I mainly favoured films that have scared the living crap out of me and I'd enjoyed it (because I'd watched them as an adult, not like watching I.T. as a child which made me scared of clowns for my entire life) with a few stylistic favourites towards the end of the list. Other favourites include It Follows, Evil Dead 2, Haute Tension, The Faculty, Dawn of the Dead (2004).
Expanding to action-horror, then I would have Predator top the list, with Dog Soldiers in the top five. Others that straddle the fence are From Dusk Till Dawn and John Carpenter's Vampires. I love them, but they are not strictly horror. Also in the action-horror sub-genre are Underworld and Underworld: Evolution. Great films.

Re: Your top 10 favourite horror films Some Japanese 90s horror films are quite well regarded, such as Ring and Audition. Do you like those?

Re: Your top 10 favourite horror films Ringu was good, but not worthy of my list.
I'll add Audition to my to-watch lsit.

Re: Your top 10 favourite horror films I can't believe how long ago the Descent was. Outside of that and Strangers, the genre has really been lacking. The conjuring and PA really don't do anything for me. Annabelle is the first and only movie I ever walked out of. So boring
