I figured after Westerns I'll start a topic about favorite horror movies of all time. Some can be slashers, some vampires, some horror comedies or even scifi horror.
Anyway, here are my favorite :

Suspiria - Dario Argento (probably the greatest and scariest horror film ever made)
The Shinning - Stanley Kubrick
Dawn of the dead - George Romero
Jaws - Steven Spielberg
Braindead aka Dead Alive - Peter Jackson
Bram Stocker's Dracula - Francis Ford Coppola
The Exorcist - William Friedkin
Alien - Ridley Scott
Zombie - Lucio Fulci
Evil dead - Sam Raimi
A bay of blood - Mario Bava
The thing - John Carpenter
Rosemary's Baby - Roman Polanski
Eyes without a face - Georges Franju
Hellraiser - Clive Barker
Psycho - Alfred Hitchcock
A Nightmare on Elm Street - Wes Craven
Let the right one in - Tomas Alfredson
The Descent - Neil Marshall
Scars of Dracula - Roy Ward Baker

The Squid might not call it "Horror" but certainly macabre. Pan's Labyrinth. One of our favorite movies of all time.

Macabre is part of the horror genre, and yes, great and amazing choice, Pan's Labyrinth is a masterpiece in it's genre, how can I have forgotten to cite it.

Fallen, is that the Denzel Washington film?
I'm not sure I'll consider the Hannibal movies has Horror, even so Silence of the Lambs is consider one of the greatest horror movies of all time.
I agree, the prequel of The Thing wasn't bad, and Mary Elisabeth Winstead is gorgeous, just my opinion.

Yeah.

There's just something about it that clicks with me. I guess a decently done supernatural detective piece is something I enjoy, not to mention it's got some decent bits of intelligent conversation.

Related to topic.

How are horror movies (esp. the quality movies) interpreted through Aspergers viewpoints? Does Aspergers desensitize, or yield hypersensitivity to horror films?

A related question can also be asked regarding real-world horrors, as sometimes seen in news-content; which may make many horror films appear phony.

Personally, I avoid viewing horrific content.
