Top 10 Scary Movies

This is my list. CNN's: http://www.cnn.com/2008/SHOWBIZ/Movies/10/30/creature.features/index.html, was lame.

10. The Strangers -- I just watched this. Its pretty good. If you haven't seen it, watch it in the dark after a cup of coffee -- there's lots of down time.

9. Pan's Labrynth -- I think the creepy characters are what make this one a winner. I mean, sure the storyline is dark and disturbing, but that weird half horse thing gives me goosebumps.

8. Rosemary's Baby -- My mom first saw this when she was pregnant with my sister. She almost didn't have any more kids.

7. The Thing -- This is one of those movies I can watch over and over again...and still get freaked out everytime that guy is half-alien and half-man and gets blasted by Kurt Russel. Ick.

6. Texas Chainsaw Massacre (Original) -- I'm putting this on the list not because its ultra weird, not because its scary. I mean, the whole thing gives me the willies, so I guess mission accomplished.

5. The Shining -- I saw this the first time with my cousin and we were entrenched throughout. Then, at the end, with Jack frozen in the snow I said to her: Wow. That image will stick with me the rest of my life. She looked at me and said: Great. Me too NOW.

4. The Blair Witch Project -- I don't care what anyone says, if you bought into the hype of this movie (like I did), it would FREAK you out. Especially if you got home from the movies late at night and you live near huge, dark trees and no one's home. I'm just saying...

3. Night of the Living Dead -- I know it seems a bit campy now, because of all the ripping off on other movies that's gone on, but honestly...its still fucking scary. I mean, what the hell would you do if zombies were real? Or are they...???

2. The Orphanage -- If you haven't seen this (subtitled, but you barely notice), SEE IT. Not only is it eerie, its downright depressing. All the while keeping you hooked.

1. The Exorcist -- This one is still scary, I don't care who you are. The music, the plot, the imagination...you'll pee your pants. And if you don't, you're doing it wrong.
