 1. Psycho (1960) 
Psycho pushed the envelope for what a horror
movie could do, get away with, and succeed with
from an artistic standpoint. Making the bold
choice of killing off its starlet, Vera Miles,
early on (which started the trend continued by
films like Scream.

 2. The Shining (1980)  
The Shinning movie is worth a watch just for the
pop culture references in other works, but
prepare to be shocked by how hard hitting the
movie still is. This terrifying psychological
thriller is a must watch not just for horror
fans, but for any fan of classic films.
Star Cast Jack Nicholson as Jack
Torrance Shelley Duvall as Wendy Torrance Danny
Lloyd as Danny Torrance and the voice of
Tony.  Scatman Crothers as Dick Hallorann

 3. The Exorcist (1973)  
Exorcist One of the most profitable horror movies
ever made, this tale of an exorcism is based
loosely on actual events. When young Regan (Linda
Blair) starts acting odd -- levitating, speaking
in tongues -- her worried mother (Ellen Burstyn)
seeks medical help, only to hit a dead end. A
local priest (Jason Miller), however, thinks the
girl may be seized by the devil.

4. Rosemary Baby
What begins as an apparent haunted apartment film
turns into one of the most twisted stories in
1960s horror. Rosemarys Baby is memorable for a
very scary plot, but also for a great performance
by Mia Farrow. This film may make you worried
about your neighbors.  
Star Cast   Mia Farrow as Rosemary
Woodhouse John Cassavetes as Guy Woodhouse Ruth
Gordon as Minnie Castevet Sidney Blackmer as
Roman Castevet / Steven Marcato Maurice Evans as
Hutch Ralph Bellamy as Dr. Abraham Sapirstein

5. Dawn of The Dead
Romeros second zombie feature is also considered
by some to be his best. Romeros use of comic
book style color and visuals sort of predicted
the genres return to popularity with The Walking
Dead. Dawn of the Dead is a gory horror film, but
it is also a subversion of American consumerism,
which was entering into a whole new level in the
late 70s and early 80s. The mall shopper is the
true zombie!

Kenneth Jake Weber as Michael Ty Burrell as
Steve Kevin Zegers as Terry Mekhi Phifer as Andre
