If your favorite isn't on the list, it's because it sucks . My favorites are the zombie movies. They're the only ones that freak me out. Jason - The first few were good, but when they started pulling B.S. plots like the one where he is frozen and goes to the future, or is killed but a guy eats his brain and becomes him, or even the one where he battles Freddy Crougar. Jason himself isn't actually that scarry, but his plot and the way he pops out of nowhere is good. Also, the mask is a good touch. Nightmare on Elm Street - Pretty damn unique. The bad guy is freaky and how he attacks you through your dreams is good. Scream - The twists are good, the bad guy bad, but ways he attacks good. I love his kill strategy: wait till the hot blonde with giganto bazangas is in the shower, then pop out. Dracula - Nothing good at all about them. The twists can be okay, but rarely. Halloween - It's been years since I've seen it, but I remember it being pretty good. Doesn't a guy with a jack-o-lantern for a head kill people, or something? Night of the Dead - Plots good, bad guys good, back story good. Frankenstein - A horribly butchered mutant movie from a good book. Jaws - The creation of a wonderful genre, but it also made a horrible stereo-type for sharks. They're not evil, just misunderstood. I mean, I'd eat humans if I were a shark. But that's just me.... you yummy human, you.

Ffft, you don't know good horror!
The Thing will get my vote because it makes good use of paranoia and human emotions, and it translates the book better than the book was.

You know what scared the hell out of me though? Ju-On II. I saw it when I was in Okinawa, Japan visiting a friend in 2004. The tape wasn't subtitled so it was extra creepy cuz I had no idea what they were saying XD

None of those are scary except Nightmare on Elm Street, and that was becuase I saw it when I was 8. In my opinion, your taste in horror isnt very good.
Frailty "pwn's" all the movies you listed. The Cell also "pwn's" what you listed, even though it has J. Lo in it. I cant really say I have a favourite horror movie though, most of them arent very scary, except for the cheap shocks.

As far as Hollywood horror goes, I'd have to admit that Event Horizon was pretty scary...

Meh. The Naked Gun beats any horror movie hands down. As you can tell, horror ain't my thing.

Halloween - It's been years since I've seen it, but I remember it being pretty good. Doesn't a guy with a jack-o-lantern for a head kill people, or something? Actually, Michael Myers' mask is of something far more terrible... It's a William Shatner mask. edit: Pumpkinhead was a demon summoned by a satanic witch. He didn't have a pumpkin for a head. He looked more like a mutated alien.
