I don't like horror movies. I prefer something with more of a realistic storyline to keep my attention. The Others, The Sixth Sense, Stir of Echoes, The Mothman Prophecies, and the like. Millennium had some good scary tv episodes and X-Files too.

I think people fail to give Blair Witch credit it deserves because of the stinker of a sequel which sullied the movies' good name.

I read Clive Barker's novel, Cabal, which was the basis for Nightbreed. I personally think the book was a lot better.

I love horror films but mostly older ones. I'm not much of a gorehound as I was when I was a teen but I prefer films with atmosphere. I want to be frightened and disturbed not just immersed in gore/hyperfast violence. My list:
The Gates of Hell
Halloween 1-4 (not the Rob Zombie remakes)
The Evil Dead 1 and 2
Hellraiser
Piranha
The Thing
Let's Scare Jessica to death
Amityville horror 2 the possession
Hell night
The Burning
Evilspeak
Creepshow
Sleepy Hollow
Etc.

I have always loved horror.

My faves:

Alien - The most frightening creature ever in a film
Halloween (1978) - Michael Myers is like the terminator.
The Fog (1980) - The best ghost story ever
The Omen (1976) - Great feel to this film and great acting
Candyman - The horror of insanity
Blair Witch - The horror of the unknown (for the viewer at least)
Hellraiser - The grim masochistic horror of hell
Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1975) - Total nightmare scenario!

I am sure there are more but these stand out a mile
