I had only watched about half of the movies in the list and some of my favorite are Dawn of the Dead (2004), Poltergeist, Scream and Saw. I wonder how Alien got into the list, I thought that movie was more to sci-fi than horror. Anyway, some other horror movies that are my favorite but not listed in the list are House of Wax (2005), Night of the Living Dead (1990) and Urban Legend.

There are a lot of cool horror movies in Asia too. Some of the popular one that were made into Hollywood remake are The Ring (Japan), Ju-on (Japan) and Shutter (Thailand). But my favorite Asian horror movies are One Missed Call (Japan) and Long Khong (Thailand). Korea have several cool horror movies too like A Tale of Two Sisters (I like this!), Phone, Doll Master and Face. Malaysia have Jangan Pandang Belakang (translated as Don't Look Back) and Congkak. Indonesia, Philippines and Singapore have their own popular horror movies too.

Asians can never seem to get bored of horror movies. I don't know about you but I think it's fun to be spooked off whether in the cinema hall or in front of the TV.
