In the spirit of the season, what's everyone's favorite horror films?
I was just able to see The Shining on the big screen with some friends recently. Had only seen it on the small screen. Chance to really appreciate the little details of the film's direction and Nicholson's tour de force performance.
Wow, there is a lot of the "space program" in that movie. That's a real headscratcher. The documentary "Room 237" does a good job addressing the film's possible subtexts/secret meanings, including the middle part of the doc which goes into the "space program" references. The Shining isn't one of my horror favs, but it is an eyeful.
I think some of the best horror films (depending on how you define them) would be Alien, The Thing, Evil Dead 2, The Exorcist, Night of the Living Dead (1968), Psycho (1960), Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956) and Aliens.
What's your favs?
