It’s Friday the 13th! In celebration, here’s my take on the top 10 scariest movies ever. The overtly sensational horror flicks today riding on their reputation for the best in blood, guts and gore are no match for these classic thrillers. I’ve included some of my favorite clips below - enjoy the roller coaster of horror after the JUMP 
Don’t forget to leave comments and let us know if I’ve left any of your favorites out!
1) The Shining (1980) - All work and no play makes Jack a dull axe-wielding lunatic. Think fast Shelley! 
2) The Exorcist (1973) – The original spider walk is just like doing “the crab” in gym class!
3) Carrie - Sissy Spacek takes her dirty pillows to the prom, and…well, you know what happens next. Don’t you wish you had telekinesis?
4) Nosferatu (1922) - Freakiest…looking…dude…ever. 
5) Psycho (1960) – This shower scene needs no introduction. 
6) Suspiria (1977) - You know you couldn’t stop talking about how much you loved Argento sophomore year of high school.
7) Night of the Living Dead (1968)- Never watch on an empty stomach. Bring on the TV dinners!
8 ) Halloween (1978) - A social critique of 1970s immorality at its finest!
9) Nightmare on Elm Street (1984) - Two words: Johnny Depp. 
10) Misery (1990) - Sledgehammer scene, I’m your Number One Fan!

No, I don’t have a website, yet, but I will some day and I will take this oppotunity to “dis” “The Shining” as the worst, [by far) of ANY claimed terror movie ! Is that what it was???
I hope that some one would torch where the ideas and so-called "plot" came from on this "STINKER"..we have this kid with one hell of a sore throat, who looks into a mirror and behold he sees the word:"MURDER" written in the mirror! I feel like spitting [or PISSUNG] at the screen by now, as this kid is what? brattish? Or screwed up in his mind…I don’t know and that is his part in the “movie”., NOT one relavence to anything scary at all, we should have mad this movie when “Bud Abbott and LOU COSTELLO” were together, at least there would be less laughing!
Then the great Jack Nicholson, gets his family…where? Up in Vermont? Crap I don’t knot that either as the “Place” has no relavence to any part of the flick like the word “murder” in the mirror.
I think the kid has been in the toilet too long and someone should take those “mags” out of there.
He is also irrelevant so he deserves some used “butt wipe” for his reviews.
Now Olive Oyl, is out of her gourd…WHY???
“Jack” cannot write “Jack” as neither does the Great Stephen King, this sucks like a diamond found in “dinosaur shitte”.
Jack contributes NOTHING to this plot, as I haven’t found it yet…I want my money back and then if I don’t I’ll show you some real terror from the public.
This is not like the first terror movie of it’d kind, “Psycho” which scares the “PLOB-PLOP, Fizz-Fizz” out of me and I was looking over my shoulder no matter which motel I ever went to and I am now 62 years old. And, I said…”Hey’! This type of mental derangement happens to day…& that made “Psycho” so believable, but, this Stephen King turd-burgher” stunk to high hell.
This “Freak of freaks written by King, and caused dysentary in 10 Billion people on a couple of weekends.
?Who had the balls to write this in “ANY” “terrorizin list” is way beyond me.
I still don’t get the plot, what plot??? Idiots??? There was and no one will ever convince me that this actually happened.
Alfred Hitchcock forever !
King??? Heeeeere, King!, Here’s your “bone for you”!
Rick!
