I'm not much into horror movies.

I prefer Young Frankenstein, Shaun of the Dead, Army of Darkness and so on.

 

[Soulless]

Atheist dont believe in horror movies at all.

 

[GabrielWithoutWings]

I don't really have a top 10 but I know which is first.

The Strangers. It's the only movie that's actually made my wife crawl up the back of the couch. It got mad props from me after that (in addition to just being a good movie).

Also gets an honorable mention for one of the best answers in any movie.

I like the old ones from the 1930s and 1940s -- think Bela Lugosi, Boris Karloff, Lon Chaney. I don't like slasher movies.

Night of the Living Dead ('68 of course though Savini's remake was worth checking out) and Dawn of the Dead ('78- not the remake).

John Carpenter's The Thing- A rare example of the remake surpassing the original. Carpenter's masterpiece. Amazing trailer too.

The Haunting ('63)- The remake never happened. Wonderful book, wonderful movie.

Suspiria- Though Argento's films are hit and miss, I love them all and Suspiria is the master at the height of his craft. All the trailers are awful and fail to capture the hallucinatory nightmare that is this film so here's one of the opening scenes (it's pretty violent):

Nosferatu ('22)- Beautiful and eerie.

Herzog and Kinski's remake is phenomenal too:

[Nepenthe]

Alien- One of the few films that captures a sense of Lovecraftian dread. One of the best trailers ever made:

Ringu and Kairo: There are several great Asian horror films including A Tale of Two Sisters and Dark Waters but I'll choose the first two for my list this time around.

The Brood- I'm a big Cronenberg fan but The Brood is just awesome.

Zombie- Fulci's master piece of 70s sleaze and gore.

There are too many to boil down to top 20 much less 10:
Martin is second only to Nosferatu in the vampire genre.

Begotten is unsettling and sticks with you.
[youtube]6MThaoF8OwA[/youtube]

Audition, Tale of Two Sisters, Dark Water, Don't Look Now, and Who Can Kill a Child all belong on the list somewhere between 2.3 and 8.6. I can keep going...
Who Can Kill a Child has an awesome trailer:

Before my dad got a betamax he had a projector and a about 10 movies one of them was the brood which he guilelessly proffered as our Sunday matinee about 4 times a year. Family time ftw.

A Slit-Mouthed Woman (2007) - IMDb has it's disturbing moments too, but this should definitely be on my list

The Innocents (1961) - IMDb

 

[Erebus]

Ok, my top 10 in no particular order:

SAW (1-3, they should have ended with 3 IMO)
28 Days Later
The Devil's Advocate
Hellraiser
The Grudge (I like both the original and the Hollywood version)
Silent Hill
Aliens
Cube
Hostel
Mary Shelley's Frankenstein

I would have included Donnie Darko and Pan's Labyrinth in the list, but despite them having horror elements, I don't think of them as "true" horror films.

 

[Revoltingest]

Alien (1st in horror)
Aliens (1st in general)
Nightmare On Elmstreet (R Englund as Freddie)
Cube
What Ever Happened to Baby Jane
The Killing Fields
Pacific Heights --- I won't even watch it.
