Good movies, although I don't agree with the ordering. And I don't think Paranormal Activity belongs on there. I would have included The Descent, NOTLD (original), DOTD(remake), and the original Halloween and Nightmare on Elm Street. And The Exorcist is always #1! :-)
ReplyDeleteI liked the Descent as well. a list like this is always so specific to the lister lol
