MoFo Top 100 Horror Movies: The List

I think the first time I really took notice of Mulholland Drive was when I saw the diner scene on a "scariest movie scenes ever" list (think it was top 3 along with the shower scene from Psycho and the last scene of Carrie - can't remember the exact order, though) so I watched the embedded YouTube clip and even that was enough to freak me out (much less watching it properly on a larger screen) so I couldn't deny its high ranking. Not entirely sure if Eraserhead quite matches that, but it comes close enough and - more importantly - consistently maintains that sense of dread in a way that isn't off-set by the kind of humour or beauty or whatever else that characterises your "average" Lynch film.

1. The Exorcist

3. The Shining
4. Texas Chainsaw Massacre
5. Alien
6. Halloween
7. The Thing
8. Rosemary’s Baby

Is Suspiria going to make this list?

It had BETTER or I'll RIOT!

I thought so, not so sure now as we're getting into top ten.

I'm wondering if the older classics like King Kong and Dracula will make it at this point. I really expected them to.

I don't think King Kong will. I don't think a lot of us relate to it as horror.

Never seen King Kong in a horror section....

Return of the Living Dead was an honourable mention.

My guesses...

10. Suspiria
9. The Fly
8. The Texas Chain Saw Massacre
7. Rosemary's Baby
6. The Exorcist
5. Halloween
4. Psycho
3. The Thing
2. Alien
1. The Shining

I’ll give this a go just for fun...

1. The Shining
2. The Exorcist
3. Halloween
4. Alien
5. Psycho
6. Rosemary’s Baby
7. The Fly
8. The Thing
9. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre
10. Suspiria
