The original Texas Chainsaw Massacre ranks up there. Very good, very artistic.... A certain level of care went into it.
Now slasher flicks are churned out like cellphones.... Ya know, get cheap actors, rush the script.... Whatever.
David Cronenberg lamented the movie industry by saying the bigger the budget the less control a director has. Which is, of course, true. And has to be. Movie studios are putting up millions of bucks. And expect a return on investment.
Tobe Hooper in '73 didn't have that undue pressure. And had creative control, as it were.
John Carpenter, another horror master, said films in the 70s had dark endings. Now ya can't do that. Because of so-called test audiences. Who demand happy endings. (Well, we all like happy endings -- ha ha ha!)

My top 5 horror movies:

5) Aliens (Horror + Action= teh win!!!)

4) Hellraiser 1 & 2 (Clive Barker's a twisted bastard)

3) Dawn of the Dead- Remake (you knew they were screwed after the first 15 minutes)

2) Invasion of the Body Snatchers- Remake (again...you knew they were screwed early on....that dog with the man's head STILL freaks me out)

1) The Exorcist (nuff said)

Honorable mention: Rosemary's Baby because the first time I saw it...I didn't know what I was watching until halfway through.

hellraiser was a great film

[hyperspace]

In terms of actually influencing people's behaviour then Jaws wins hands down.

My Top 5 are

1. The Omen
2. Salem's Lot
3. American Werewolf in London
4. The Wicker man (original)
5. Evil Dead 2
