Let's say you meet someone that hsa never ever seen a single horror, but is keen on the idea of getting into them. The horror virgin asks you what 5 movies you think they should see.

Please note that these don't need to be your favorite movies (You don't even need to like them.) Just list what you feel are the five most essential films for any horror newbie to see. 5 films that you think anyone who wants to call themself a horror fan (everyone on this board) should have seen... P.S. Don't say a series (ie: Nightmare on Elm Street series. That's 7 movies and they aren't all that essential.)

Here's my list (in no particular order)...

Nightmare on Elm St.
Dawn of the Dead (Original)
Halloween
Texas Chainsaw Massacre (Original)
Night of the Living Dead (Original)


I went back and forth between NOTLD and Hellraiser, but eventually ended up favoring NOTLD.
