Number 1 Horror Film

For me this is the ultimate horror film. It is also one of the crowning achievements of the entire motion picture industry! Unique, over the top, and the ultimate examination in celluloid form about Christian ideology. I refuse to believe that anyone can watch this film alone at midnight and get to bed right away. If you can you I am not sure that I want to know why you were not emotionally disturbed by what you saw. There is no horror film better then The Exorcist in my opinion and perhaps no film has ever been better then this one. William Freidkin's masterpiece! Domestically it is the most finically successful horror film of all time and the ninth highest grossing film of all time when e adjust for inflation. No other film will come close to being what The Exorcist was and continues to be!

Number 2

Checking in at number 2 is the often imitated but never duplicated "Psycho." Psycho changed the entire landscape of what a horror film was. It created the slasher genre of horror films and brought some truly wonderful ideological and Freudian components into horror films. I am very reluctant to put this as number 2 instead of number 1, however I am very partial to the number 1 film coming up next!
