    That was my answer to the OP. Best is a matter of perspective.

    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.

    Probably the only horror movie to have

    Truly, a groundbreaking movie that works on many levels. Scary to children, yet thought provoking enough to keep a an intelligent conversation moving amongst educated adults. Social issues of that time were delt with in a subtle way by a major horror movie craftsman.


    (The Exorcist and Dawn ('78) are very, very close.)

    I'd say it's a toss up between THE EXORCIST, NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD '68, THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE '74 and ALIEN.

    I'll give the other three the edge because of the hybrid (horror/sci-fi) nature of ALIEN. If I have to only pick one from the list, I'll pick THE EXORCIST.

    "Today we live in a society in which spurious realities are manufactured by the media, by governments, by big corporations, by religious groups, political groups... unceasingly we are bombarded with pseudo-realities manufactured by very sophisticated people using very sophisticated electronic mechanisms. I do not distrust their motives; I distrust their power. They have a lot of it. And it is an astonishing power: that of creating whole universes, universes of the mind. I ought to know. I do the same thing."

    I'd agree with those, but at Carpenter's The Thing to it.

    To me it would have to be Evil Dead or Jaws.

    Damn, I would have to add Jaws too. So, pretty much just like every other thread we've had like this, we just have to conclude that their is not ONE best horror movie.

    The Exorcist with The Shining close behind. The Exorcist is, in my opinion, one of the best movies every made from any genre. ive loved this movie ever since i saw it when i was little. maybe thats the difference, i viewed this at too young of an age and the subject matter fucked me up, i dont know. Whatever it may be this movie is incredible. I love that raw style of directing that was applied to the exorcist. The same " make the cast actually experience it" directin style is another reason why I love TCM so much.

    Probably the Exorcist because it brought the entire mass culture to its knees with its questioning of paternal society and religion. Maybe Dawn of the Dead '78 because it truly had something to say about our mindless dive into unrelenting capitalism.

    Of course, i'd also be willing to say Bride of Frankenstein because it was so many different movies all rolled into one, was a huge spectacle, and even has some moral underpinnings to keep it interesting beyond Karloff.

    I dunno. make of that what you will.

    The "version you've never seen" is the version you should skip. Not a fan of the 'spiderwalk' scene. It's too much too soon. In short, they got it right the first time.
