Top 7 Horror Movies of All Time

1. Rosemary's Baby   (1968)
   Roman Polanski took Hollywood by storm with this masterly cerebral suspenser starring Mia Farrow, who back also was known as the star of the affable prime-time cleaner piece's Peyton Place. Nothing affable happens to her nominal character in this decelerate - burn descent into gestation madness, which is at formerly a shocking tale of Cacodemonic generality and an agitating look at the pressure both marriage and society place on a woman to come a mama .

2. The Exorcist   (1973)
  There are surely some scary moments in this 1973 sensation, but what’s most shocking about The Exorcist is its brutal depiction of a 12- time - girl’s complete internal and physical breakdown at the hands of Satan, while her mama stands helplessly watching by her side. Alongside William Friedkin’s agitating direction, the fog - filled imagery of Owen Roizman and electro theme by Mike Oldfield would go a long way into making this an indelible viewing experience.

3. Halloween   (1978)
  The portentous piano music — composed by the director himself, is one of several constituents that render this John Carpenter slasher a bona fide classic nearly four decades since its release, where it grossed a whopping      $70 million. Turning every sprat’s favorite vacation into a bloody agony, the original Halloween has been imitated, remade and rebooted, but infrequently surpassed. While there are plenitudes of jarring moments throughout, its most harrowing aspect is the repeated image of a vicious killer roving the thoroughfares of picture-perfect purlieus.

4. Don't Look Now   (1973)
   Some people prefer the U.S. remake, but Hideo Nakata’s original interpretation of The Ring is a creepy and intimidating exercise in J- horror movie making that would impact copyists for times to come. Reviving a kidney that had been waning throughout the medial- ’90s, Ringu rapped up fear in fresh ways, counting on hanging imagery rather than violence and spear. To quote Warner Wolf, “ Let’s go to the video! ”

5. The Vanishing   (1988)
    George Sluizer’s largely original hijacking film is as disturbing for the questions it keeps asking and noway answers as it's for a homestretch where the verity is surprisingly told. The story begins charmingly enough, with a youthful Dutch couple on holiday in France. But also the girl disappears at a gas station, leaving her swain as thwarted as we're about what happened. He spends times looking for her as the film gets decreasingly hopeless and unsettling.

6. The Shining   (1980 )
   Literally dozens of Stephen King’s novels and stories have been acclimated for the big screen, and several of those flicks are considered classics of moment, like Carrie, Misery, and Pet Sematary( and that doesn’t indeed regard fornon-horror stuff like The Shaw shank Redemption and Stand By Me). But the mama of them all is fluently Stanley Kubrick’s adaption of The Shining. A phenomenon of set and product design and an authentically agitating take on the traditional haunted house story, The Shining features a host of memorable images and an iconic Jack Nicholson performance. The film’s fairly many jumps scares are still absolutely nipping, but its true power lies in the way it crawls under your skin and makes you witness Jack Torrance’s slow descent into madness. It’s rightfully considered one of the topmost horror flicks ever made, and it ranked sixth in our bean.

7. The Texas Chain Saw Massacre   (1974)
  The bloody digression of the horror kidney was spawned by Tobe Hooper’s vicious incursion into deep Texas, where a group of council musketeers find themselves prey to a clan of psychotic cannibals. Counting lower on classic jump scares or sound goods than on the shocking sight of a meat - eating family and their collection of power tools, butchery is a movie that leaves you bombarded, bruised and slightly squeamish after each viewing.
