Top Ten Horror Films

The Media Theory & Criticism class spent the week covering genre studies. More specifically, the assignment was to study the horror genre. They selected and voted on a "top ten" list using an open and wide variety of criteria. This is what they came up with in ranking order, #1 being best.

1. Psycho
2. The Shining
3. The Exorcist
4. Silence of the Lambs
5. Jaws
6. Night of the Living Dead
   
7. Alien
8. The Thing (Carpenter)
9. Nosferatu (silent)
10. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre

A great list. Here is mine in no particular order.

Psycho
The Bride of Frankenstein
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre
The Black Cat (1930s Universal)
The Shining
The Seventh Victim
The Cabinet of Dr. Calagari
The Exorcist
Halloween
The Horror of Dracula
