I was asked by a cool website (http://essentialfilmspodcast.com) to rank my top 10 favorite horror movies. I decided to break this list down into the classic horror sub genres and a great representative movie for each.
Subgenres Of Horror (and 1 essential watch from each):
Creature Feature (The Thing: 1982: Universal Studios)
Slasher (Halloween: 1978 : Compass International Pictures)
Nature (Jaws: 1975: Universal studios)
