see THE BEST SCARE FLICKS EVER MADE??

A guide by John Galt "Objectivist" (USA)

Products sampled from this guide:
The Exorcist (The Version You've Never Seen)

The movie that started it all. Blood, guts, and nothing held back.

Jaws (Widescreen Anniversary Collector's Edition)

The first summer blockbuster. Spielberg at his best.

Halloween (Divimax 25th Anniversary Edition)

Horror masterpiece that started the teen-age slasher frenzy.

Rosemary's Baby

Introduced generations to the devil.

The Exorcist 3

Underrated sequel. Contains the scariest hospital scenes ever captured on film.

Friday the 13th

You never know when the next slashing will occur.

The Birds (Collector's Edition)

Started the wildlife-turns-killer horror genre.

Psycho (Collector's Edition)

Sophisticated and sleezy.

The Shining

Don't watch this if you have high blood pressure.

Carrie (Special Edition)

Masterpiece of horror sleeze. A yummy, well-done bloody mess. YEAH!

King Kong (Two-Disc Special Edition)

How many movies made in 1933 make anyone's list? Monster masterpiece!

Alien (Two-Disc Collector's Edition)

Totally unexpected horror.

The Omen

The movie that killed off the name Damien for good. Number 13 is perfect for this flick.

Creepshow

Great 1950s-style creep movie made in the 1980s, alla Stephen King.

The Dentist

The best B-horror movie ever made. Realistically portrayed.

Salem's Lot

What could be more frightening than your dead best-friend showing up outside your bedroom in the middle of a foggy night scratching at your window?

When a Stranger Calls

The first 20 minutes is worth a Number 17 slot.

Twister

A horror movie with a twist. GET IT? Instead of a psycho coming for you, it's mother nature's wrath.

Gargoyles

A very creepy TV movie that warrants a theatrical re-make, but this original is worth a look at, just don't look alone.

Scream (Dimension Collector's Series)

The title of the film says it all: AHHHHHHH!!

Trilogy of Terror

Made-for-TV, but will scare the pants off you.

The Blair Witch Project

Sometimes what you CAN'T see is even more scary.

I Know What You Did Last Summer/I Still Know What You Did Last Summer (Deluxe Box Set)

Summer can be a pain--especially when a carload of teen-agers turn you into road pizza...but it's fun when your ghost seeks revenge.

Misery

I still can't watch a Kathy Bates movie without getting chills.

It's Alive

It's a boy. No. Wait. It's a...MONSTER!
