1. "Army of Darkness"
   "It"
2. "Cronos"
   "Demon Knight"

Stephen King loves to explore people's greatest fears, and clowns are at the top of that list. King doesn't just make a scary clown in this film (and book), he makes the creepiest thing that has ever come out of a sewer. Tim Curry as Pennywise is tremendous.

1. "Dead Alive"
   "The People Under the Stairs"
2. "Scream"
   "Bram Stoker's Dracula"

"Scream" was an excellent movie that didn't mind making fun of itself. Spoiler Alert: two horror movie enthusiasts create their own horror movie by killing their fellow classmates at night.

1. "The Graveyard Shift"
   "Maximum Overdrive"
2. "Demon Knight"
   "Blade"

Someone wanted an action movie and a vampire movie at the same time. This is what they got. "Blade" stars Wesley Snipes as a half-human, half-vampire. After his mom is killed, he seeks his revenge. This is an action movie with quite a bit of gore added to it.

1. "Ring"
   "Follow The Leader"
2. "Audition"
   "Ravenous"

"Ring" (1998) was a new kind of scary. It was suspenseful and showed us that curses are nothing to mess with ... even if you're an investigative reporter who is interested in how people die from watching TV. This was the Japanese film that was remade as "The Ring" in the U.S. in 2002.

1. "The Faculty"
   "The Silence of the Lambs"
2. "Ring"
   "The Exorcist III"

"The Silence of the Lambs" (1991) was a different kind of horror movie. Yes, it involved murder and suspense, but it also included some deep psychological theory on serial killing.

1. "The Faculty"
   "Urban Legend"
2. "Audition"
   "The Blair Witch Project"

There is no doubt that "The Blair Witch Project" (1999) was way ahead of its time. It was terrifying without even showing any crazy amounts of blood. You simply got the reaction from the actors (who were acting like they weren't actors).

1. "Mimic"
   "The Craft"
2. "I Know What You Did Last Summer"
   "Audition"

When teen witches get out of control, it takes one witch in the coven to stop them. "The Craft" is about what happens when teen drama meets some real crazy witchcraft. If only scars were that easy to erase.

1. "Cloud Cover"
   "I See Dead People"
2. "The Sixth Sense"
   "Scream"

Even if you haven't seen "The Sixth Sense" (1999), chances are someone has already blown the ending for you. This movie was made fun of and parodied so many times that it's impossible not to know at least a little bit about it.

1. "Urban Legend"
   "Bram Stoker's Dracula"
2. "Candyman"
   "The People Under the Stairs"

Nothing scared 13-year-old girls more than the thought that a giant man covered in bees was going to attack them if they even thought of his name three times when they walked into the bathroom.

1. "Sleepy Hollow"
   "Bram Stoker's Dracula"
2. "Nightbreed"
   "More Often Than Not"

Johnny Depp in a gothic movie? Sign us up! "Sleepy Hollow" (1999) takes "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" to new extremes, giving it a little mystery and witchcraft to boot. It's an amazing twist ... Christopher Walken terrifies the audience.

1. "Halloween 6"
   "Leprechaun"
2. "Demon Knight"
   "Sir of Echoes"

If you thought that leprechauns were cool guys who simply shared their gold with everyone, this movie might make you stop chasing rainbows. It's an interesting movie about what happens when you get some gold of your own and someone wants it back.

1. "The Faculty"
   "It"
2. "Mimic"
   "Scream 2"

"The Faculty" (1998) is about a few teachers who have gone positively wrong. Alright, maybe they were always that way, but during the span of this film, they're acting beyond strange as they are being controlled by aliens.

1. "Urban Legend"
   "Bram Stoker's Dracula"
2. "Mary Shelley's Frankenstein"

1. "Misery"
   "It"
2. "She's Gotta Go"

1. "Chastain"
   "The Dark Tower"
2. "It"
   "Misery"

1. "Urban Legend"
   "From Dusk Till Dawn"
2. "Nightbreed"
   "The People Under the Stairs"

What happens when you constantly have nightmares about monsters? Well, you go to a therapist. However, when that therapist is a serial killer ... you die, and then the monsters that you dream about save you. The plot is interesting, but you have to see it before you decide.

1. "Interview With the Vampire"
   "Blade"
2. "Cube"
   "Tales from the Darkside: The movie"

"Interview With the Vampire" isn't necessarily the scariest of all horror movies. It actually follows a vampire through his death and the hundreds of years that he has lived among humans. It's fascinating what you can learn in an interview ... as long as you don't die at the end.

1. "Dead Alive"
   "In the Mouth of Madness"
2. "The Blair Witch Project"

2. "I Still Know What You Did Last Summer"

"Scream 2" (1997) took the funny self-awareness of the original "Scream" film and brought it to horror movie sequels. Nothing was safe after that as we learned what to look for when we watch the second installment of a series.

1. "Child's Play 2"
   "Demon Knight"
2. "Idle Hands"
   "Cronos"

"Demon Knight" (1995) is about a man who is protecting a very old key. The Collector (who is played by Billy Zane) would like the key to open the gates of hell and start up the apocalypse. As you can tell, things get a little messy.

   "The Dolls"
2. "Child's Play 4"
   "Seed of Chucky"

"Bride of Chucky" (1998) went a little bit of a different direction with the "Child's Play" series. It became more funny than anything, as Chucky falls in love and gets married (seriously).

1. "My Vampy Neighbor"
   "Buffy the Vampire Slayer"
2. "From Dusk till Dawn"
   "Innocent Blood"

Quentin Tarantino has made some pretty great movies over the years. Most of his movies include heroes that are a little bit sick in the head. This movie is no different, as we learn that a house of ill repute in Mexico is there as a buffet for vamps.

1. "Texas Chainsaw Massacre 4"
   "C.H.U.D.S."
2. "Army of Darkness"
   "Nightbreed"

This horror film doubles as a comedy film. In 1992, it was definitely a new kind of movie. It is no wonder that this film has gained a cult following as it includes time travel, ghouls and chain saws. It stars Bruce Campbell, modern king of B movies. See him in "Bubba Ho-Tep!"

1. "I Know What You Did Last Summer"
   "Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare"
2. "Idle Hands"
   "Cube"

"Idle Hands" are the devil's plaything, and when Anton Tobias (played by Devon Sawa) has his hand possessed, he realizes that things aren't so great for him. His hand kills his best friends. This is one of those horror-comedy movies, and it's definitely a fun watch.

1. "Alien 3"
   "Mimic"
2. "Dead Alive"

2. "Blade"

   "I Know What You Did Last Summer"
2. "Nightbreed"
   "The Ring"

1. "A Nightmare on Elm Street 3"
   "Ravenous 3"
2. "The Third Ring"
   "The Exorcist III"

In 1990, someone decided that they could make yet another "Exorcist" movie and it would be great. This one is a little bit off the charts on how far it strays from the storyline, but it was definitely a good try.

1. "Cronos"
   "Graveyard Shift"
2. "The Frighteners"
   "Disturbing Behavior"

"The Frighteners" stars Michael J. Fox as a man who lost his wife in a car accident and claims to be able to exercise evil spirits from people and towns. However, when he starts seeing things, everything changes.

2. "Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers"

   "A Nightmare on Elm Street 6: More Scars"
2. "Freddy Goes to Hollywood"

1. "The Relic"
   "Mimic"
2. "Ring 2"
   "Bad Moon"

   "Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare"

   "House on Haunted Hill"
2. "The Haunting"
   "Bram Stoker's Dracula"

   "Demon Knight"
2. "The Wish Master"

1. "Tremors"
   "Stir of Echoes"
2. "Hallow man"

1. "Night of the Living Dead"
   "28 Days Later"
2. "Cronos"
   "The Frighteners"

When you are the only group of living survivors left, it's probably not a good idea to argue among yourselves ... especially when there are zombies outside your door. However, "Night of the Living Dead" (1990) gave us a little look at what would happen if the dead did decide to rise.
