    Definitively, The Best Horror Movie of All Time

    It's probably stupid to make a thread like this, I'm sure someone's tried before and made a fool of themselves since it's probably impossible for most people to do. But for those of you who're able to thing of a single horror movie that, to you at least, is undoubtedly the best horror movie of all time, go ahead and list it here, and if you can, an explanation for why you think so (sometimes it's just a gut feeling, so whatever, just list the title, that's cool).
    And for those of you who can't come to a decision (which I guess defines a horror movie fan in a way. someone who's unable to see one movie that stands among ALL others may understand all of the different ways in which movies are to be appreciated and sees an equal amounts of flaws as they do qualities), make a list; top ten, top five, whatever.
    This is for what you think are the BEST, not necessarily your favorite. If your favorite movie is Maniac Cop 2, it's safe to say that you probably don't think it's the greatest horror movie of all time.


    SUMMARY:
    List what you think is the greatest horror MOVIE of all time, or the greatest horror MOVIES of all time (keep it short as short as possible). Don't do it according to your favorites, do it by what you think is really the best.

    I personally can only speak on behalf of the last quarter of the 20th century, I'm not too familiar with stuff between the twenties and sixties, and in that I'd say:
    1. Hellraiser
    2. Halloween
    3. The Thing (Carpenter's)
    4. Dead Alive
    5. The Exorcist (not a HUGE fan, but still...)
    6. Jaws
    That was in no particular order, really...
    Although Bride of Frankenstein (maybe more of a drama) and Dracula would definitely have to go up there too. And Wolfman.

    yeah, so I figured, but what the hell, it's always a pretty stimulating topic, I'd say.

    There is no definative best because we all have varied favorites.
    But i'd say The Exorcist imo. It actually scared me when I saw it as a child and still bothers me today.

    I can tell you Koolmike's too, NOTLD 68' or possible DOTD 78'. Something Romero did though.

    jaws



    1) I can't look at a clown with out thinking 'what kind of sick fuck dresses up as a clown'

    2) I can't swim in the ocean with out thinking 'what is below me...what territory
    am i in....'

    even though jaws ranks number 2 i'll have to admit that it does strike a worse fear into me than clowns...only because i swim in the ocean more often than i go to the circus

    Yes, but you apparently enjoyed I Know Who Killed me, so maybe we should take that opinion with a grain of salt.

    Can't say myself. In any movie, I can find something I enjoy about it... if not its very rare. I can count the number of movies I cannot stand and will never watch again on one hand and good lord I have seen my share and more of movies. Still, I have my favorites and who can't respect the 'classics' of the genre...

    In other words, to each their own.

    Our immortality is found in the words and actions of our children.

    You see relatives at holidays, weddings, and funerals, but family is always with you.

    Do not steal, rape, or murder. Everything else is fair game.

    Facing failure is easier than running from regret.

    That was referenced in the first post. The question is, "What do you think is the best horror movie of all time?"

    John Carpenters The Thing, is in my opinion, the perfect horror film.
