Merc, you like the Strangers!?
Man, I thought you were cool...
 
Here's my top 10:
 
10 Alien/Aliens
9 Audition
8 The Others
7 Eraserhead
6 Vampyr
5 Carrie (original)
4 Rosemary's Baby
3 The Excorcist
2 Psycho (original)
1 The Shining (original)
 
I could go on and on about any of these movies, but it'd take up too much page space.

Well, okay, I'm going to try to defent myself about the others.
Firstly, it ain't as bad as the Strangers, so I win.
-Well-executed atmosphere. I'm big on atmosphere, in film, music, visual art, books, etc. And atmosphere is key in these horror movies
-Makes use of an interesting Sickness to solidify the atmosphere
-Well-acted by both children and Nicole Kidman
-There are a lot of things left for interpretation and dual meaning
-Ends on a twist that may be a little hokey (remember I only put it in the #10 slot), but it's better than anything M Night Shamylan ever did
 
Anyway, I made that top 10 list off of something I made about a year ago, so maybe Wicker Man or something would replace the Others now (haven't really given it consideration) but I still enjoy the others.
 
And regarding the remake of Carrie, the remake was good, I'd go check it out. It's independant, but interestingly enough it follows the book WAY better than the original movie. The girl who plays Carrie doesn't match Sissy Spacek in the original, but she's still pretty good as Carrie. I would recommend seeing it if you liked the original.

Why did you put it on your list then?
 
Oh, off your list the ones I liked were The Thing, the Excorcist, The Omen, and Pan's Labrynth (Pan is one of my favorite movies period, but I don't consider it a horror movie. I consider it fantasy).

Most horror films don't phase me at all. The Strangers actually creeped out out a little (then again that was the middle of the night in pitch Blackness), so I give the movie that merit.

And for Pan's Labyrinth:
The Pale Man. That is why I put it on the list.

Oh, Deathey's comment reminded me of Freaks!
I love Freaks too.
 


 
Well, NoNe of the horror movies on my list scare me or ever did... I've only been afraid of 2 horror movies... IT when I was 7, and White Noise when I was 10. (Been watching horror movies since I was 6, maybe that's why). Anyway, scariness to me is never a merit for how good a horror movie is, 'specially when all the Hollywood BS keeps resorting to jump scares and the thing where a girl closes a bathroom cabinet w/ a mirror on it and SURPRISE someone is standing behind her. For me what makes a good horror movie is what makes any other good movie: good actors, originality, tight plot.. and some of the things I like in my horror are psychological moments, good atmosphere, avoiding of cliches, interesting lighting/camera work... etc etc etc
 
And I don't think a scary Creature or two necessarily equals horror. Look at Jason and the Argonauts and Star Wars... scary creatures, not horror movies. But I guess that's a subjective thing, anyway.
