Top 5 Horror Movies
Terence's list was incredibly lame. Here's a much better one.
5) The Exorcist
Ok, so I agree with him on this one.
4) Jacob's Ladder
You know that crazy-face-movement thing that has been played out to death in the last five years? This is the movie that started it all. It was also a major inspiration for Silent Hill.
3) Audition
This is one of the dullest movies until the last half hour or so, and then it becomes one of the sickest and most twisted things you'll ever see.
2) John Carpenter's The Thing
This movie holds up well for being almost 25 years old. No movie since this one has managed to capture the overwhelming sense of isolation and paranoia quite so well.
1) Two-way tie between The Ring and John Carpenter's In the Mouth of Madness
The Ring terrified me like few other movies. However, I will readily admit that freaky little children scare me more than anything except spiders. But seriously, if that scene where Samara climbs out of the TV didn't scare the crap out of you, then the crazies are right and overexposure to violent and disturbing media can desensitize people.
ItMoM is a truly stunning story about what defines insanity...but the presentation leaves a bit to be desired. Sam Neil is the star, which is also quite bad ass.

I'm not much of a movie watcher. Sue me. But come on, The Ring? Maybe I have been desensitized...
That's right, Polk, keep showing off for all your female readers. We all know you cried like a little girl when she crawled out of the TV, but just keep on pretending otherwise...
