Some of them aren't your run-of-the-mill horror movies.

Only Darabont or Garris can truly adapt a Stephen King movie. In my head, Desperation never happened.

Because of the influx of new members I thought I'd resurrect this topic to gauge everybody's interests on this bank and shoal of time. To start off, this is my ever-shifting top-10 revised
10. Suspiria
9. The Strangers
8. Phantasm
7. The Haunting (1963)
6. Pet Sematary
5. Magic
4. The Blair Witch Project
3. Maniac (1980)
2. The Evil Dead
1. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974)
âThe Fright Night remake is a film which taps into the audienceâs deepest rooted fears, such as those of vampires throwing motorcycles at them. I dread the thought of a vampire throwing a refrigerator or a deskjet printer or... Iâd better stop before I give myself nightmaresâ

It's nice to see Videodrome and In the Mouth of Madness on somebody's list. Great films both of them, especially Videodrome.

I'm actually partial to Cronenberg's Naked Lunch, but that isn't really horror. I almost put I Saw the Devil on there, too.

I only saw the last 10 minutes of Naked Lunch and I was blown away by the effects. I love Cronenberg's The Fly but it isn't "Cronenberg" per say, since it doesn't deal with revolution so heavily. Videodrome, at least I think, is his masterpiece thus far. But then again, I haven't seen all of his films. I want to see Naked Lunch.
