The Exorcist

I didn't stay for the whole movie, a rarity for me. And I stayed away from the movies for a year or so following. FREAKED me out. Maximum heebie jeebies.

The Exorcist

Doppelganger
or
JuOn

Blues Brothers RAWK!!

Doppelganger.


best movie that Drew Barrymore ever did! for real.

Abstain. Have not seen either film. Shit, have not HEARD of either film.

JuOn is the original japanese version of The Grudge. creepy. but doppelganger is a solid B movie about evil twins from alternate realities... sweet.

Prolly waaay too late to contribute to this but we missed several major contenders:

Bride of Frankenstein (an amazingly layered allegorical horror piece)
Cat People (a Freudian maelstrom...more psychiatric monographs have been
written about this movie than any other)
Island of Lost Souls (wow....hard to describe....truly weird Laughton)
Freaks (like no other movie ever made)
Nosferatu
Twin Peaks (the series, not the chopped up 2 hour movie)
Cell, The (pure evil, unforgettable visuals)
Invasion of the Body Snatchers (found usually in Sci-Fi, really political horror)

and....

The third story in Karen Black's "Trilogy of Terror"...the one with the tiny African cannibal fetish chasing her around her apartment) All you women out there that saw this know what I'm talking about, heheheh.... Yikes!

=============================

Beyond that, what are the rules to this ladder... how does one vote for each level? :question:

I would vote for that third of Trilogy of Terror. I think we discussed it here somewhere. Spent a long time trying to find out what the hell that TV movie was that kept me from sleeping for such a long time. I must have been about 12 when I saw it and I don't believe I've fully recovered yet.

Were they walled up in a basement?
