EWB's Favorite Horror Films: The Voting Thread

[Dr. Rated-R]

In the grand traditions of both Halloween and EWB's lust for list-making, let's compile our favorite horror flicks. The usual shtick applies: list your top ten scary movies in reverse order. Your #1 will be worth ten points, your #2 nine points, etc. Feel free to edit your choices until voting closes in a few days. Also, be sure to specify which version of a film you're referring to if it's been remade.

I'll start:

10.) The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974)

09.) Trick 'r Treat

08.) Night of the Living Dead (1990)

07.) Creepshow

06.) Psycho II

05.) Bride of Frankenstein

04.) Evil Dead

03.) The Shining

02.) A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984)
