Here we go............

#10 - The Texas Chainsaw Massacre

What. A. Movie! Personally, I would've ranked this one much higher. The thing about this movie is that there's a lot of daylight scenes. A lot of horror films mask their movies with darkness. Oh, and this could really happen....that always adds to the freight.

#9 - It

Who doesn't love a scary clown? Great movie, the original and the newer one.

#8 - Poltergeist

Great movie! Two words - They're Here!

#7 - Psycho

Where I heard that knife sounding music for the first time. Classic!

#6 - Nightmare On Elm Street

Simply put, a mid-80s horror masterpiece. Well worth another watch. Freddy at his finest.

#5 - Halloween

Just a classic! Creepy and methodical., that's how I'd describe Michael Myers. I loved the Rob Zombie Halloween as well. Halloween Ends started out great, but fell apart fast. Not good.

#4 - The Shinning

A bucket list thing for me to do is stay at the famous Stanley Hotel in Colorado. Man, what a great movie!

#3 - The Conjuring

Scary and true. Edward Warren Miney and Lorraine Rita Warren were American paranormal investigators and at the center of this series. Great watching!

#2 - The Exorcist

Some say this should be at #1, and they may be right. Just a shear scream classic!

#1 - The Silence Of The Lambs

Just a classic! Anthony Hopkins and Jodie Foster were perfectly cast. Awesome movie!
