Zombie's Top 10 Horror Films

So here's a list of my ten favorite horror movies to give an idea of how my mind works when I go through and review new ones. These decisions were tough, so it may not be 100% accurate, but it's definitely a decent representation. Here goes:

1. Night of the Living Dead (The original of course.)
2. Martyrs (Great French film about a torture syndicate.)
3. Suspiria (Dancing and witches! An Argento classic.)
4. House of 1000 Corpses (Delightfully fucked-up-can I say that here?)
5. The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (The original with its pioneering work in disturbing content.)
6. The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (Remake. Creepier than the first, the sheriff especially.)
7. The Shining (Kubrick's with Jack Nicholson. This is the only version that exists to me.)
8. 28 Days Later (A fresh take on zombies with some amazing infection methods.)
9. The Thing (This movie breathes notes of survival and psychological distress into the genre.)
10. Profondo Rosso (Another Argento classic, filled with suspenseful, chilling atmosphere.)

There were a few that possibly could have been on the list; those that were tied or narrowly missed it, or that I simply haven't felt like watching recently, but that still continue to amaze me. These are as follows:

-28 Weeks Later (It's interesting to see what happens long-term after a zombie apocalypse.)
-Trick 'r Treat (Great film with an interlacing Halloween story.)
-Diary of the Dead (Amish baddass-ery and LOTS of zombies.)

There are other great films that I don't have the time or space to mention, but after Pineapple posts her top 10, the reviews will begin!
