Best Horrors

Time lists their choices of the best 25 horror films. A pretty good list, if somewhat top-heavy in the newer gore-splattered films. They miss my favorite, the original filmed version of Shirley Jackson's The Haunting of Hill House, known only as The Haunting.

I'm talking about the original one here. Black-and-white. Almost no special effects, unless you count some nice camera angles and such. No blood. No gore. No visible monsters. Nothing that litters today's horror films.

But I dare you to watch this movie. At night. Alone. In a storm. I dare you. I double-dog-dare you!

Just don't bother with the utterly insipid remake. Please.
