Songfactor's Top 10 Movies {HORROR / THRILLER}

[Wyld Card 5]

In this Top 10 special, we will be doing a non-music theme.

We ask you to nominate two Horror or Thriller movies that you feel are overall terrifying films for the month of Halloween - October.

The same regular rules that go with the top 10s applies here. First week is for nominations, then the regular top 10 voting will go on for another week or until everybody has their votes in.

Please let us have your nominations now

Psycho-Alfred Hitchcock-1960

Pscyho is more of a thriller than a true horror film, but its influence on the horror genre is undeniable.

Halloween-John Carpenter-1978

Perfectly matching nominations, given that Jamie Lee Curtis is Janet Leigh's daughter.

[Wyld Card 5]

We'll do Musicals next, I'm sorry Shannon, I forgot about this being October.

[Tenacious_Peaches 0]

The Exorcist

Glitter

Silence of the Lambs

We'll do Musicals next, I'm sorry Shannon, I forgot about this being October.

That's OK. I got to nominate two of my all time favorite movies

Glitter

[Wyld Card 5]

Glitter

The Mariah Carey movie?

Does Dark Knight count as a horror or halloween movie? I need a few opinions on this from people who have seen it.

[skybluesky 0]

IMDB classifies The Dark Knight as both Crime and Thriller. Maybe the topic should be Thriller Films instead of Horror, because one could split hairs as to what is truly a thriller, and what is truly a horror film.

[Wyld Card 5]

It's now both, thanks

[skybluesky 0]

And now you can nominate The Dark Knight. (That's the most menacing smiley I could find.)

[Wyld Card 5]

It fits the costumes theme, but I'm not sure it was scarey enough.

[Farin 2]

The Blair Witch Project (1999)

I like this film especially because it goes against all horror clichés... there's not even a bad guy

but still...

Seven (or Se7en)

Carrie (Bian De Palma)

[Lucky 5]

edna, you beat me to Carrie. So, I'll have to come back with #2. Meanwhile, Heeere's Johnny:

The Shining - Directed by Stanley Kubrick and starring Jack Nicholson

[Shawna 1]

1. The Haunting . The scariest movie I've ever seen, and it's so old it doesn't even have special effects! Which makes it even more scary and realistic.

2. Jaws . "You're gonna need a bigger boat."

[berjo1429030949 0]

1) The Changeling (1980) - the George C. Scott film. A really creepy film.

2) The Legend of Hell House (1973) - another that creeped me out over the years. Fans of "The Haunting" would enjoy it.

For my first film, I nominate the greatest science fiction thriller of all time....

"Snake Plissken?...I've heard of you.....I heard you were dead!"

[miamisammy29 4]

And for my second nomination, I submit...

"Silence Of The Lambs" (1991)

HI, PEACHES, I'M WATCHING YOU.

[phil 7]

These Two are quite scary.

[_Laurie_ 11]

Oh okay...I'll be back then...

[Jenny 2]

Misery - Starring James Caan and Kathy Bates.

One of the few Stephen King movies that was almost as good as the book

Poltergeist (1982)

I saw this when I was 11 or so. Some scenes still send a chill up my spine.

[_Laurie_ 11]

Stephen King movies will definitely get a vote from me....love his stories!

[skybluesky 0]

Oh man there's some good ones already and no one has delved into zombie territory yet.

[miamisammy29 4]

^^ Silence of the Lambs was already nominated by Peaches

Yeah, silly me...I should have known.

Okay, then, how about "Final Destination 3". I love the cool ways they die in those movies, and #3 had the coolest...

"Final Destination 3" (2006)

[BlueAngel 0]

The Sixth Sense (1999)

Scream (1996)
