It's funny how not one of those films are of American production.

Hey, Hey.. let's not get all touchy-feely on the subject. Don't blame Hollywood for the writers that are coming up now our days.
Blame Bush.

Haha, this post deserves a thanks, lmfao.
I LOVE horror movies. And I don't know if these are exactly the scariest movies I've seen but these are my favs, not the best horror movie in my opinions, but my favs. theres a difference.
1.) Halloween (Original) This made slasher films, slasher films. Like the story was great, the fact they didn't explain why he killed was great. The way he didn't talk, but let his killing do the talking for him was great, and that mask...that theme music....phenomenal.
2.) The Exorcist (Original) I've only seen this once, and I can't see it again, well not alone at least like I did before. I saw it on Halloween by myself last year instead of going trick or treating (yes i still do that.) And it just got me man, that little girl was so terrifying. I wanna see it again so badly, but I won't allow myself to, its to terrifying.
3.) The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (Original) - the fact that this was a true story made me wanna see it. the fact that back when my momma went to see it they had to shut down the movie theater to get her out cuz she was freaked out, MADE me had to see it. It wa such a scary movie, Leatherface was such a classic nutcase, and the end where the girl is laffin/crying was one of the best endings in a horror flick ever.
4.) The Omen (Original) This movie is great and I think deserved more stars then it should have. Like, the storyline itself was so magnificent and I thought was golden. Learning Damen's history and at the very end seeing the "666" in his scalp was so awesome. And the smile at the end the kid gave the camera was hella scary.
5.) The Ring - That little girl was such a freaking creepy thing. the commercials that came on for it at 3am with the actual ring video creeped me out that I had to sleep wit my momma! The ending was cool, the idea was original, gotta love the originality.
Whelp! Hope you enjoyed! ^_^
I agree that Hollywood has gone limp in making anything close to even being scary these days. Can someone please bring back the 80's horror films with all of the gore. All of the old horror films had much better special effects in them than todays films with all of their CGI which just screams fake. Well that is my opinion at least.
My 5 favorite horror films:
1. Nightmare on Elm Street- This was the first movie to give me nightmares.
2. The Howling- Werewolves, you just gotta love us hairy beast.
3. The Return of The Living Dead- The first Zombie flic to scare the F#@$ out of me, I think I was 8 at the time. I still hate grave yards at night.
4. One Missed Call- The original of course, the american remake sucked.
5. Pulse - Once again, the original and not the american remake.
The first three films scared the heck out of me when I was a kid and the last two were the only ones I have seen lately to have actually sent a chill down my spine. If you have not seen any of these, check'em out.
That's the problem with new 'Horror' films, in that all the good ideas have been taken and used and all they do now is a slasher film with lots of isolation, graphic violance and cruelety. Take the Saw series of films. They're not scary or even suspence-full, but dish out lots of gore in a flashy way.
