    Re: Do you like Scary Movies?

    Off the top of my head:
    1. Jaws
    2. Alien
    3. Psycho
    4. The Shining
    5. The Blair Witch Project
    6. Silence of the Lambs
    7. A Nightmare on Elm Street
    8. Night of the Living Dead (original)
    9. War of the Worlds (sci fi or horror??)
    10. The Exorcist (much like BigSleeper, I didn't see it until I was in college - some 30 years after it came out - and didn't find it particularly scary, but I recognize it has to be any list of horror movies)

    I never considered Seven a horror movie (more of a thriller), but I have Silence of the Lambs on my list, so I might have to reconsider (it would probably slide into the second or third slot).

    I'll have to check out my DVD collection and get back to y'all.

    There are a lot of borderline movies, but movies like "Silence of the Lambs," "Jaws," and "Se7en" all can be considered worthy candidates for a horror movie list. Heck, I have trouble looking past the overt social commentary of Romero's "Dawn of the Dead," but it's still a great horror movie.

    The Shining
    Psycho
    Jaws
    Exorcist
    Silence of the Lambs
    Saw
    Saw II

    These are all I can think of. I really don't watch too many horror flicks.

    Thanks for those of you that are taking this seriously. I'm trying to get all of sj, especially the regulars involved because I'm trying to put out THE SportsJournalists.com list of top 10 horror movies.

    Remember, I do take PMs also, in fact I'd prefer that over posting your lists on here.

    The order you have your list in is important, because NO. 1 will be weighted more than No. 10 obviously.

    Thanks for participating so far!

    On first reading, I did not take that comment about sleeping with your mom at all the way you intended it. At least I hope not.

    Who hasn't slept with his mom after watching a scary movie? Hell, it's why I have Netflix.
