Answer 2

My top 10 favorite horror films:

1. Nosferatu (1922): F.W. Murnau's classic adaptation of Dracula was one of the leading and most influential films in the German Expressionist movment.

2. Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (1919): Robert Wiene's hypnotic masterpiece is a cinematic landmark of the silent era, and is the film that ushered in the German Expressionist movement, paving the way for films such as Der Golem, Nosferatu, and Metropolis.

3. The Exorcist (1973): William Friedkin's shocking chiller is a film with one sententious layer of meaning after another, addressing such broad concepts as loss of innocence (the intriguing suggestion that Regan's turmoil is punishment for her burgeoning sexuality--a theme of many slasher flicks to come), the true nature of faith, and class politics.

4. Bride of Frankenstein (1935): The wildest and most audacious of James Whale's 1930s horror movies, Bride of Frankenstein is brimming with subtle self-parody, and it offered Whale the opportunity to mock the clichés of horror films, along with amusing sideswipes at Hollywood romances, historical dramas, and even Christianity.

5. The Shining (1980): Stanley Kubrick's eerie adaptation of Stephen King's novel is at once a coolly ironic near-parody and a genuinely chilling dissection of how a family breaks down when the father cannot (or does not want to) perform his duties as provider and protector.

6. Vampyr (1931): Carl Dreyer's surreal, disjointed and dreamlike semi-silent film which offers striking imagery and a deeply compelling mood.

7. Rosemary's Baby (1968): Roman Polanski's traditional gothic horror film, which is set with suprising ease in New York City, features apocalyptic yet darkly comic paranoia about the hallowed institution of childbirth.

8. Frankenstein (1931): James Whale's Frankenstein is widely considered to be the definitive version of Mary Shelley's classic tale, and it also created much of the cinematic language of horror films.

9. I Walked With a Zombie (1943) and 10. Cat People (1942): Though the earlier Universal horror films of James Whale and Tod Browning are better known, RKO's smaller-budgeted horror pictures produced by Val Lewton have had a more lasting impact on American cinema. Directed by Jacques Tourneur, I Walked With a Zombie and Cat People are purely cinematic in building suspense through atmosphere, and each has a remarkably rich and evocative visual style.

Answer 3

1. Rocky Horror Picture Show

2. Night of the Living Dead

3. Dawn of the Dead

Answer 4

Night of the Living Dead!!! Don't get me wrong, its not easy to narrow down the horror genre to a single greatest film cause there are a lot, so this is simply my opinion. NOTLD the 68' b&w version, don't mess with that technicolor bullshit, is IMO the perfect Saturday night , turn off all the lights and settle down in front of the tube horror flick.

Answer 5

Texas Chainsaw Massacre- Original.
The Omen- Original
Ju-on.... The grudge(Japanese).
Exorsist-Original
Hostel, Hills have eyes, Shaun of the Dead(horror-comedy), Slither.

Answer 6

1; Queen of the Damned
2; The old Amityville Horror
3; The new Amityville Horror
4; Saw
5; Saw 2
6; I also liked The Exorcist. but it didn't scare me. (I laughed for some reason)
