Monster Mash

Below is a list of horror movies, the (in my mind) classics.  The horror movies that everyone should watch.  All of them are fairly common and easy to find and I’m sure tons of people are going to say I missed some or say that some of the ones on my list aren’t anywhere close to great.  I’ve seen every movie on this list at least once and several of them I’ve seen dozens of times.  It’s almost Halloween and time to get my celebrate on.
