TokeZa's Top 100 Horror Movies

At the time of first watching The Vanishing, I realized I was way too desensitized, because that movie should have been disturbing but it wasn't. I want to watch it again soon.

The Hitcher, Carrie, and Aliens are all fantastic. I liked Halloween but didn't care for Scanners.

__________________

Out of the top 20 I've seen The Night of the Hunter, Psycho, The Exorcist, Rosemary's Baby and The Shining, I think all are great. Some may disagree that TNOTH is a horror but even IMDB classes it as noir which I didn't think it was, I'd say it's more horror than noir.

Got Eraserhead ready to watch as well, definitely have to get round to that soon as I've been meaning to for ages.

I prefer 30-10 than the top 10, but congrats on finishing your list.

Fantastic list covering all types of horror over many years.

+1 for The Evil Dead, The Exorcist (the scariest movie I have ever seen) and Videodrome

This is one of the best top horror movie lists I've seen. Great job man.

Where is Persona? If Eraserhead is horror, Persona is horror too!
