10) The Conjuring
Genre: Supernatural/Demons
Why: Great acting makes this cliche movie a must see. This had everything from creepy dolls, haunted houses, to exorcisms.
09) Seven
Genre: Crime/Mystery
Why: Not really a horror movie, but it kind of is. You could say that Saw was a rip off of Seven. Great twist, great acting, and filmed by my favorite director, David Fincher.
08) Scream
Genre: Slasher/Mystery
Why: This movie trigger the return of the slasher picture. This is the movie that made me fall in love with scary movies. Ghost Face is one of the creepiest/coolest icons in horror fiction.
07) Event Horizon
Genre: Space/Supernatural
Why: Whats scarier then being trapped in a house with a psychopath, how about being trapped in space with one. Event Horizon is about a ship that goes to hell. This is the scariest movie I have ever seen in my life. Sure I was 12 when I saw it, but still, this thing is creepy as hell.
06) Saw
Genre: Mystery/Gore/Psychological
Why: This movie changed the game in regards to horror. The Saw movies aren't mindless B films, they are smart films, that are well thought out, with great endings. Just a little to gory for my taste.
05) The Shining
Genre: Ghost/Supernatural/
Why: Jack Nicholson. The End
04) Paranormal Activity
Genre: Supernatural/Demons
Why: Each of these movies feature great actors, cheap jump scares, and the boldest demon I have ever seen in a movie. Love all of them except part 4.
03) Final destination
Genre: Supernatural/Gore
Why: One of the goriest movie franchises ever created, Final Destination is one of the most original horror movies I have ever seen. Final Destination Part 1 had a great cast, and really defined my childhood.
02) 28 Days Later
Genre: Zombies well, sort of.
Why: Love the independent feel of this movie. Zombies never really scared me due to their slow paced walk, these "Zombies" however run, and projectile vomit on you. I could watch this movie over and over again.
01) Sixth Sense
Genre: Ghost/Supernatural
Why: This movie is a master piece. Every scene of this movie is perfection.
