Dawn of the Dead (1978) - This zombie thriller has plenty of action, and it is easy to see why it is not number ten, but also why it is not in the top five. It is fairly predictable until the end. When it seems all hope is lost, the heroes pull through and survive. 6. Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978) - Thisis a film about the fear and desperation of being alone. Though it is not as predicta ble as the others, a person can almost easily figure out what is going to happen. 5. Alien (1979) - The thought of being in space and being attacked by aliens will give anyone the creeps, especially when the alien is intent on killing every member of a deep space mining crew. This thriller seems to be a good one to watch if you want to get goose bumps. 4. The Ring (2002) - This death thriller will definitely give you nightmares. Seeing a dead girl pop out of the television screen will frighten any person into death or a mental institution-or so the plot says. 3. [Rec] (2007) - original Spanish version of Quarantine - Thisfilm will scare and grossout even the tough guys. People in an apartment building are infected with a "demonic possession" virus, putting all of them under quarantine.

As Compiled By: Ryan Deasy Brooke Emond Staff Reporter 10.Audition (1999) - This movie plot is way too predictable. The usual blood and gore of limbs being cut off and the bad guy being caught off guard and killed by another hero in the story definitely make it number ten. 9. Halloween (1978) Definitely a classic, this movie has probably been seen by everyone. The plot is as predictable as the next in a long line of movies, but that doesn't stop producers from making the much anticipated sequels. 8. Evil Dead II (1987) Likely to scare viewers due to suspense but is unlikely scary. Like most horror films, evil is released, and the victims they let out the girl who started it all... 2. Ju-on (2000) - known as The Grudge to everyone who doesn't speak Japanese - Thisfilm is a definite nightmare starter. Dying because of someone else's rage continues the cycle of "the grudge", and anyone who dies by the hands of rage or extreme sorrow will start the cycle allover again. 1. The Thing (1982) Anyone feel like being infected by a recently thawed alien? Thisaction packed thriller will leave viewers wondering who is or is not infected by something unknown to man.
