Mine would be:

It's hard to narrow it down to just ten. My list is in no particular order and includes movies that I found scary, fun, or just had great atmosphere:

Trick r Treat
The Descent
28 Days Later
The Wolfman
Shaun of the Dead
Paranormal Activity
Dog Soldiers (don't laugh! It was a decent werewolf flick)
Zombieland
Fright Night
The Others

I don't know if anyone else shares my enthusiasm for The Exorcism of Emily Rose, but that movie never fails to get to me.

I also like Shaun of the Dead.

I watched The Exorcism of Emily Rose, I enjoyed it but it didn't make my top 10. :wink:

The ambiguity and eerie atmosphere of Emily Rose just get to me.

In the 2nd part of my video, I listed several other films that I really liked--which didn't quite make my top 10-- and The Exorcism of Emily Rose is one of them. It's a very stylish, creepy, and intelligent movie.

I can't watch that movie without thinking about Debra from Dexter. It kills any spookiness that movie has for me :lol:

You know what else was a good one even though it really didn't have a horror vibe to it? Fido. I'm not much for gore so when I watch a zombie movie, I prefer it to have some humor attached to it. Fido, Shaun, and Zombieland are my top 3 favorite zombie movies :)

I enjoy humor, too. Shaun of the Dead, Hocus Pocus, and Ghostbusters are always in my Halloween rotation. Those last two aren't from the last ten years, though.

I hate to be horsey, ramaries, but some of those are not from the last 10 years. You're not following the instructions :lol:
