The International Movie Data Base has issued a list of their favorite, scary movies for Halloween.

Of course, there are a million of these lists.

Their list leans heavily on the gore and slasher type movies.  They are not my particular favorites.  Take a look at their Top Ten.  Guess what....my favorite scary movie of all time doesn't even make the list.

After the list I have posted a video of my own favorite scary film.  Let me know what you think:

IMDB #1  Creepshow (1982)

#2  Phantasm (1979)

#3  Halloween (1978)

#4  Night of the Living Dead (1968

#5  Beetlejuice (1988)

#6  Trick or Treat (2007)

#7  House on Haunted Hill (1959)

#8  The Evil Dead (1981)

#9  Pumpkin head (1988)

#10  Young Frankenstein (1974)

I will never know how they missed my favorite Halloween flick.  It is an Alfred Hitchcock classic and it kept all of us Baby Boomer kids up all night shaking with fear after we first saw it.  Take a look at what has to be one of the absolutely most frightening scenes ever filmed (if you are a kid in a movie theater!).

See if you agree that "The Birds" should definitely be on the above list!
