Right - I have a friend who doesn't like watching horror films. She's tired of people giving her weird looks when she says that, so she's decided she's gonna try to get into them, and has asked me to come up with a list of the best ones, so that she might find a few she likes.
I've named a ton of zombie films (though those particularly bother her), so we don't need any more of them - we're now looking for classics, like Carrie, It, Silence of the Lambs, Candyman, Bram Stoker's Dracula and so on.
Any suggestions?

The Exorcist, Halloween, The Omen trilogy, Texas Chainsaw Massacre (the original), The Shining, Suspiria (mad rather than horrific), Switchblade Romance, The Descent, The Wicker Man (original FFS!!!), Rosemary's Baby, Scanners, Last House on the Left, The Thing (John Carpenter re-make), Alien, Aliens, An American Werewolf in London, The Birds, Psycho......should be something in that lot! Noticed you mentioned the original Japanese version of The Grudge, the US remake of that ain't bad either - for a 15.

Compared to the original, the US version was poor in my opinion, just like The Ring - good films (not great) in their own right, but inferior to their predecesors. That said, that's pretty standard for most remakes As for the list; I can't believe I forgot some of them! Halloween! The Alien series! (And from there, Predator too can be linked - moreso action than horror, but still a good watch!) Thanks for the contributions - an exalt for you! ;D
