Do you love horror movies? Yeah, me too. That rush of adrenaline from being scared. I wanted to list some of the best horror movies, but my mind kept thinking back to the classics. Nightmare on Elm Street, Friday the 13th, Halloween and my personal favorite Texas Chainsaw Massacre. But, they're classics, which means everyone has seen them. Here are a few you might not have seen.

THE CABINET OF DR. CALGARI

Made in 1920, this is one of the first horror movies. Dr. Calgari advertises his side show freak somnambulist Cesare to make predictions about the future and when people will die. His predictions always come true as his clients are dropping one by one ....

MOTHMAN PROPHECIES

The true story of a reporter who makes his way to a small town after a series of strange events. No matter how many times I see it, it always gives me goosebumps in the way that only true stories.

WOLF CREEK

Since watching Wolf Creek, I've developed a bit of a phobia about Australia. The true story centers around three young tourists whose car breaks down in the Australian Outback. Lucky for them, they find a real life Crocodile Dundee who is more than willing to give them a lift back to his place so that he can fix up their car. The only problem? He's a cold blooded serial killer. One of the scariest movies I've ever seen.

ORPHAN

I'll admit, when I saw the previews, I was 99% sure that the movie would suck, but still, I couldn't resist the urge. Isabelle Fuhrman stars as Esther, a seemingly innocent orphan just searching for a family to love her. And believe me, she'll let NOTHING get in her way.

SQUIRM

When I was 8, my mom let me watch this B-rated gem with her. The result? I've been terrified of worms ever since. The film is about flesh-eating worms who overrun a town. I still remember refusing to shower for almost a week because of a scene where the shower turns on and worms come out.

CRAZIES

Any movie about the government and sick people will scare me (hence, my delusions about a real-life zombie outbreak.) The Crazies takes a small town Iowa in where a toxic outbreak occurs, and pushes the government to quarantine the town and rid themselves of evidence of the outbreak.
