Oh the fear!
A list of horror movies I love to watch. Some of them are not highly rated but have scared, shocked, or surprised me enough to be memorable.
Some films are not rated and this means that although I have not watched them yet, I've either heard or read enough about them and their rating, so that I might yearn to read them myself.
