My all-time favorite horror movies (movies that legit scared/disturbed me):
1. Jaws
2. The Exorcist
3. Psycho
4. The Shining
5. Silence of The Lambs
6. Audition
7. Friday The 13th
8. Freaks
9. Alien
10. The Ring
Not a lot of literal "monsters" in great horror movies....maybe at times you can get one or two, but it's the suspense that gets the viewer. You don't see the shark in Jaws at all, you don't see the Xenomorph in Alien too much, you don't see the crazy side of Norman Bates in Psycho until just the end, you don't get the craziness of Hannibal Lecter in Silence of the Lambs but for a few scenes, nobody knows what the fuck is happening in Friday the 13th until the end and then the very end everything really is all "What the fuck?"
With all of the psychology behind Dracula or Frankenstein or The Mummy Hollywood can't come up with winning HORROR movie ideas for these characters? I mean really it's like they have no imagination or no concept of storytelling without crazy ass special effects.
