I think I prefer the original Exorcist if I had to pick one.

Riddick · 03-10-2002, 10:28 PM

25th anniversary, it had a great doc

newt · 03-10-2002, 10:31 PM

Better supplements too.

By "classic horror" I though you meant much older films, like the ones Laughing Gravy has listed, but it appears that you are moreso looking for "definitive" horror films. My recommendations are:

1. The Evil Dead (part 1 is the best IMO, as it is moreso horror than the comedic sand lesser sequels)
2. The Shining
3. Halloween
4. Texas Chainsaw Massacre
5. The Exorcist
6. Dawn of the Dead
7. PSYCHO!!!!!!!!!

Riddick · 03-10-2002, 10:37 PM

Definative is the word I was looking for your right !!!

The best of the best

gotta learn to express myself better

rolisme · 03-10-2002, 11:38 PM

I think Suspiria should make it on the list.

newt · 03-10-2002, 11:47 PM

Riddick, you're going to need a whole shelf for horror instead of just 3 titles!
