Best Horror Movie Lists

The following list of horror films was first published over at the IMDB. I like this list for several reasons.

1. The following list of best horror movies was compiled by thousands of horror movie fans who each voted for their favorite, it is not a “one persons” favorite list.
2. The list spans all types of scary movies ranging from films that were released as far back as 1926 (Nosferatu which received over 15 thousand votes) silent movies as well as some excellent forign films such as Büchse der Pandora, Die.
3. The list features plenty of “American” classics such as 1978’s Halloween, The Exorcist (1973) and 1979 Alien.

I have reprinted the list below, if you would like to visit the list on the Internet Movie Database you can find it located here.
