This competition has now closed

The Exorcist, 1973 (18)
William Friedkin’s thriller about the possession of a young girl by a demonic pervert is the horror by which all others are measured.

The Blair Witch Project, 1999 (18)
Introduced verité to the genre, and cultivated a massive following on the Internet. The student helmers minted a fortune.

Psycho, 1960 (18)
Hitchcock’s seminal thriller butchers the beauty in the second reel. It’s a toss up who is more disturbed: the director or Norman Bates.

Alien, 1979 (18)
The most original monster since Frankenstein screwed a bolt through Boris Karloff’s neck.

Ringu (Ring) 1998 (18)
An urban myth about a videotape haunted by an abused and creepy preteen ghost. Shot with deadpan brilliance by Hideo Nakata.

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, 1974 (18)
The abattoir antics of a cannibal family in Tobe Hooper’s classic made a profound impact on audiences (and imitators) who failed to digest the humour.

Halloween, 1978 (18)
The first chapter of this suburban franchise was a sensation. It left pretenders like Friday the 13th looking decidedly short on spooky dates.

Dawn of the Dead, 1978 (18)
George A Romero’s most famous zombie movie, and the first horror film to equate America’s blinkered consumerism with apocalyptic consequences.

Don’t Look Now, 1973 (18)
The greatest film ever made about grief and the supernatural. Nicolas Roeg’s film is an art house masterpiece, with the most famous sex scene ever undressed on screen.

The Sixth Sense, 1999 (18)
M Night Shyamalan is a very heavy-handed but ballsy director. This eerie mentor-and-son story is his best. He introduces fresh tricks to old-fashioned ghosts.
