I picked:
Dawn Of The Dead, The Birds, Halloween, and "other" for two that are not on the list!
"Night Of The Living Dead" (1968) and "the Changeling"
David, if you like haunted house type movies, you HAVE to see this one!

I love both of those, CellarDweller. There's a lot of social commentary as subtext in Night of The Living Dead. And The Changling is a great haunted house movie. One of the best. Another is The Legend of Hell House.
Someone has already mentioned The Others I think. How about The Sixth Sense?
And what about Silence of the Lambs? Maybe it isn't exactly a horor story, but it's one of the scariest movies I've ever seen.

My favourite horror film of all time is Salems Lot......scared the crap out of me. I still read the book too. Brilliant film with David Soul and James Mason as Straker.
That is my favorite SK novel...scared the fecal matter of me, but was very dissapointed in both the TV versions of it.
Ah that's a shame! Graham Norton interviewed Josh Hartnett the other night and said that it scared the crap out of him!
I'm watching Stephen King's IT tonight and I had forgotten how well it starts out, very creepy, but then it sort of dies in the middle and the end is a total let down.
Tim Curry as Pennywise is worth the viewing though. His performance is deliciously evil .

So if I rent 3 for Halloween, what should be the top 3??
The Shining
Rosemary's Baby

I liked Bram Stoker's Dracula remake, but that was Keanu, so can't really count. :D
has anyone ever seen "the Sentinal"?
That was a great movie scared the crap out of me when I was young. All those freaks wandering around.
Really wierd!

Ya know I like any movie that will make me jump into the arms of a strong man...let's watch "The Sentinel"

I liked THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT. I got caught up in the whole cultural phenomena. I remember seeing the trailers for it in the theater and seeing the checking out the website before it's release. Oh, they got me as I thought it was a true story. I even bought the comapion book that gave you more "details."Me too kd!
I know some people hated it, but I thought The Blair Witch Project was really scary. :)
