Weekend Open Forum: What's your favorite horror movie?
Although I don't regret "cutting the cord," there are some inherent drawbacks to relying on Internet services and discs for shows and movies -- namely that you always have to know what you want to watch. That's generally fine because I'm not interested in most of what's on TV and I don't need the distraction that content surfing brings, but there are seasonal periods where I miss being able to let videos roll in the background.
This is especially true throughout October and December as channels dedicate their schedules to Halloween and Christmas-themed films. When I had cable, I'd catch parts of various popular horror flicks around this time every year. I can't even say I liked many of them, but that didn't really matter. They were nostalgic and to some extent, a tradition -- as strange as that word seems to be when describing a cheesy Syfy marathon.
I can technically simulate the experience with a service like Netflix, but at that point I'd rather just build my own catalog locally. If I do that, I might as well add more than cult classics like Dawn of the Dead and Halloween, which is where this WOF comes in: what are your favorite horror movies? As a bonus, for those of you without cable, do you ever miss the passive nature of tossing on a random TV channel for background noise?

The show American Horror story is the best horror tv show ever made as far as I know. Oh yeah I also liked room 1408 and btw +1 on the ring, the fly. Idk if it counts but aliens rocked too.
+1 on predator(first one and maybe second)
+1 silent hill
The movie that scared me the most in the exorcist.
Gremlins freaked me out when I was a kid, that movie is actually the reason they came up with the rating pg-13.
p.s. I take it back American horror storry is tied with walking dead I just saw the new one, I forgot how good that show is.

I am still a fan of the old hellraiser films with freddy kruger in a close second

I tend to like the old classic style movies, the ones that use fear and the unknown to scare you as opposed to the blood fest type movies.

Yes, but seeing it with someone else's ex-girlfriend was an opportunity
