My Horror Top 10

A haunting tale of caustic faith and the subsequent lure of alternative paths.

Faced with indisputable evil, a mother and two priests must deal with the evil force that takes over a child and the consequences thereafter.

Paranoia and cosmic dread drip off this Carpenter classic (and one of the finest examples of a good remake).

Incredible performances, gut-wrenching depictions of grief, and an unnerving web of evil spinning in the background make this an immediate classic.

A poetic and grimly gorgeous vampire tale centering around a bizarre friendship with more heart and warmth. than the literal and figurative world of ice around them.

An unrelenting descent into a world of pure madness. Raw, filthy, and unsettling.

What you imagine every heavy metal album cover to be like. Now add acid to that. Incredible.

One of the blueprints. Still a marvel to behold with its gorgeous camerawork, awesome horror set pieces, and the unequaled star turn of Anthony Perkins as Norman Bates.

A visceral and harrowing piece that eviscerates the social norms between men and women. Audition displays a deft balance between subtle thematics and unnerving, unflinching grisliness.

An exploitative Italian cash in on the cannibal craze that inadvertently broke boundaries by being a premiere example of found footage horror, extreme cinema, and unprecedented realism with its "film within a film" structure. Both an intentional takedown of the media and an open criticism of the violation of nature and culture by the supposedly civilized world, the movie ironically mirrors the behind the scenes extremes the crew was pushed to to make it. As fascinating to watch as it is to read about.
