The Bottom Line I give you my choice about horror films.My selections tell you the history of horror.Make a library with these film.

I surely believe that if you are a great fan of horror films you are exactly watch these film that I list below many times.If not I advice you to go buy them and make a great library in horror film history.
For me the 10 best horror/suspense films I have ever seen:
1-Psycho(1960):
Directed by Alfred Hitchcock(I believe that he is the greatest director.He makes many great films like this with a limited possibility).
41 years passed from this film but We never forget all the scene all the conversations.Can you tell me who can't know the name of Norman Bates which played by Anthony Perkins in the world?I'm sure that you'll say no one.And the present time they try to make horror films but these always stay imitation of Alfred Hitchcock's style.Do you like to make a visit to Norman Bates and her mother's mother?Sit back and watch but don't try to relax too much.

2-The Nightmare on Elm Street(1984):
Directed by Wes Craven(his fundamental is great and I think that day by day he go close to Hitchcock ability)
Don't try to sleep confidently maybe Freddy Krueger leave Elm Street and join our nightmares.I say the truth,I can't sleep easyly when I watch this film.Great scenario,great atmosphere.It is a wonder of imagination.It is the ghost of Freddy Krueger, a suspected child murderer killed long ago by the neighborhood parents.

5-Hellraiser(1986):

Cast:

6-Omen(1976):
Directed by Richard Donner.
I'm sure that you remember the song "Ave Satani" when you hear the film's name.The director of this film shows us his imagination about the child of satan and make us afraid too much.The scenario begins with the dead of American ambassador child and after that he wants to replace his dead child with a new born baby then the horror show starts.

Director:Richard Donner
Star:Gregory Peck ,Lee Remick ,David Warner ,Billie Whitelaw ,Harvey Stevens ,Leo McKern ,Patrick Troughton ,Martin Benson

7-Child's Play(1988):
Directed by Tom Holland.
Can you imagine that a toy can kill?You'll say no but at this film the soul of a killer(Charles Lee Ray) enters at the Good Guy toy and the action begins.The soul wants all time to be a human again and he wants to capture the body of the child named Andy.
Cast:
Director:Tom Holland
Star:Catherine Hicks ,Chris Sarandon ,Brad Dourif

8-Scream(1996):
Directed by Wes Craven.
Great work by Wes Craven again.This is the finest horror film in 90's.It is unexpected and well organised film.You Don't know who is the killer until the end of the movie.The physco!(the surprise of the film) try to kill teenage people who are fans of horror films.After you watch the film you will say yourself:Donn't open the door.

9-The Exorcist(1973):
Directed by William Friedkin.
This film shocked millions and spoken too much.Great scenario.Linda Blair plays a childish girl who is under control of the devil.And the devil use her to test the faith of the world's most righteous man.After you watch this film you can't sleep well.Be careful when Linda Blair turns her head 360 degree.
Cast:
Director:William Friedkin
Star:Ellen Burstyn ,Max Von Sydow ,Lee J. Cobb ,Kitty Winn ,Jack MacGowran ,Jason Miller ,Linda Blair

10-Dawn of The Dead(1978):
Directed by George A.Romero.
As an epidemic of hysteria, violence and civil chaos attends the plague which causes the dead to return in hunger for human flesh, an odd assemblage of SWAT team and TV production crew members take refuge in a nuclear-powered shopping mall.I don't see a person who can watch this film alone.This film few years banned in 56 countries.It's a classic.
Cast:
Director:George A. Romero
Star:David Emge ,Ken Foree ,Tom Savini ,Gaylen Ross ,
Featured:Scott Reiniger
