My vote goes to Night of the Living Dead. When this movie came out in 1968, I was on a date at a drive-in theater. My date was more shocked than I was when the zombie/ghouls devoured human flesh on screen. Yes, I was scared but he was terrified! Sort of thought he was a nerd when he wanted to leave BEFORE the end. True Story.

My date turned out not to be a nerd. However, we have been married 40 years and he still won't watch Night of the Living Dead.

I think "The Shining" is probably my favorite horror film, if only because it's so intensely odd and inscrutable. Other favorites like "The Exorcism" and "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" have their high points, and I think "Texas Chainsaw" scared me more at the time that I first saw it than any other film I have ever seen. But their eccentricities and gory "shock" value has faded for me over time, whereas "Shining" just gets more and more strange and idiosyncratic the more I watch it. The Scatman Crothers performance, the creepy ghost in the animal costume, Jack's manic ranting to "Lloyd" the bartender...There's a feeling of slowly encroaching madness that just kind of infects the movie itself in the second half that I find both frightening and intensely compelling.

In terms of great horror films no one has heard of, I'd recommend "The Black Pit of Dr. M," a bizarre Mexican horror/thriller in which two doctors make an agreement to contact one another from the afterlife with grim results.

It's on DVD (sometimes under the original title, "Misterios de Ultratumba"), and I recommend horror fans check it out.

Shaun of the Dead:-

Of course not all horror movies are made to be scary like the Blair Witch Project. One of the things I really love about this genre is the way it lends itself so well to spoofs and tongue in cheek humor. Not many productions have done that better than the zombie flick Shaun of the Dead, which surely counts as one of the best British films in a long time.
