Enjoy!!

Thanks mate. That's how to do it: All this blood splattering nonsense like Hostel and Saw are just crap - bit of psychological horror and virgin burning is where it's at.

The 70's best time for horror!

I'd say the first Saw is very physcological, with a nice bit of gore thrown in.

Donny vs SUFC Play Off Semi, 2nd Leg!

Also, The Entity, just for the special effects!

The main reason why I nominated Psycho was because it did not need special effects. Tautly directed by Hitchcock, with inferred violence rather than that of the gratuitous variety prevalent in many films of today.

You said it Harry. Today, most horror films rely on vast amounts of gore and a about as "scary" as Bambi. The thoughts in your head are far, far more terrifying than any SFX can create.

I don't recall Carrie needed a whole host of effects, just a very scary performance from Sissy Spacek and lots of blood!

I've seen that film loads of bloody times and the last scene still makes be jump.

Shaun of the Dead's genre classification is Horror. So I nominate that!

I'm going to have to re-watch it aren't I? Best do it in the daylight I think.

Also featured an early role by John Travolta who came to rather a sticky end IIRC.

Yes, same his name on the poster. Got to be over 30 years since I saw it, just remember it frightening the bejesus out of everyone at the time.
