Now I have to admit that all lists of this nature are subjective, and clearly I haven’t seen every horror flick ever made but from my personal opinion these represent the 10 scariest movies in the world. Give me your list, or give me some arguments about why my choices are retarded.

IMDB’s Top 50 Rated Horror Films

My goal is to watch each one of these movies one time during the month of October, leading up to all hallows eve! Regardless of whether I have chosen the 10 best in the world, I am guaranteed to have an awesome time watching these great films.

By the way did you notice that the mid 1970’s - early 1980’s have some of the greatest horror movies ever? 9 out of my top ten were made during those years. I wonder what was going on in the United States that fostered such an environment based on horror films? And why has there been such a drought in this genre since then?
