My 4 faves:

The Shining
Rosemary’s Baby
Silence of the Lambs
Halloweeen (Exorcist and the first Friday the 13th are very close though)
 
The Exorcist, Halloween, Dawn of the Dead and The Thing

I chose a different genre for each entry - supernatural, slasher, zombies and monsters. I hesitated to put The Thing on here because it's a horror-scifi hybrid imo, like Alien and Jaws (horror-adventure), but it's just too exceptional to be overlooked.

I know some jimmies might get rustled, but for vamps I'd have chosen Salem's Lot over The Lost Boys.
 
I went with

The Exorcist
Alien
Rosemary's Baby
Jaws

Exorcist is the GOAT

but Rosemary's Baby is genius in it's storytelling. You never get to actually see anything supernatural (other than the dream sequence) and it still has you hooked because of the acting and storytelling. Absolutley brilliant!

THE YEAR IS ONE!
 
On first glance:
Jaws
Rosemary’s Baby
Psycho
Halloween

But I was so irked by the notion of leaving out The Fly, The Shining, ANOES, and The Thing that I decided not to vote lol.

Great poll though as usual.
 
1. The Exorcist
2. Alien
3. The Thing

1. Event Horizon
1.a Silence of the Lambs

I do think 30 Days of Night is a great Horror movie and the best Vampire movie.
 
The ones that actually scared me upon first watch....

Jaws
Silence of the lambs
Exorcist
Halloween
Nightmare On Elm Street
 
Jason , Myers ,Freddy , and Leather Face are set stable characters for decades and would be the most iconic characters out of the list ,based on the Mt Rushmore criteria it would have to be these films .

I’d put The Shining over Texas Massacre and The Thing over Friday though on a favorite list .

Nightmare
The Thing
Halloween
Shining
