Scary Movies

Trick-or-treat is over, but by golly tonight is still Halloween. Looking for something spooky to watch? The American Film Institutes loves lists almost as much as I do. I was trying to find you a list of Horror Movies, but they lump them into the 100 Thrills category. These are the top-ten 'Thrills' movies that I would consider horror. Plus where they appear in the AFI list. Can you believe Alien is 29 years old? Still mighty unsettling - can't watch it when I'm home alone.

1. PSYCHO 1960

2. JAWS 1975

3. THE EXORCIST 1973

6. ALIEN 1979

7. THE BIRDS 1963

9. ROSEMARY'S BABY 1968

12. KING KONG 1933

29. THE SHINING 1980

46. CARRIE 1976

60. THE SIXTH SENSE 1999
