This is true & I also agree with your comments about Exorcist II. Excellent Morricone soundtrack.

I love me some EXORCIST II and re-watched it last October for the horror challenge.

The Haunting (original) is an easy choice.

I've never understood the praise for Insidious - I think it started out okay, but by the end and the over the top ending that through nearly every horror movie cliche at it's audience - I threw up my hands and said "I give up"

I see it's time for another please-list-your-favorite-horror-film. How many of these are there by now?
I'll keep it simple and just say Universal and Hammer

I so agree. After reading all the raves on this flick I expected a halfway decent film. I was bored the moment the demon showed up.

and it looked so tacky, like something you'd see in a funhouse - the whole movie felt like it was filmed while the script was being written ("oh and let's have this happen... and then... oh but we can't forget to show this... etc, etc, etc...)
