Horror Movies are like drugs...once you start watching them, you're well and truly hooked. Whether it's the undeniable sound of Hannibal Lecters slurping or the hum of a chainsaw, horror movies are sure to get your pulse racing. There are five movies that stand out to me as being the best horror movies of all time, here's my list;

Number 5: Darkness Falls
This film draws upon the childhood figure, The Tooth Fairy. Suddenly the kind and enchanting image we had as child of this kindly sprite is drastically transformed into a raging killer with a passion for the odd tooth or two. If any child (or adult) should wake and see the 'Tooth Fairy', a horrific death with shortly follow. 'Don't Peek....'.

Number 4: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre
Chillingly, this movie is based on true events which undoubtedly makes it even scarier. A deformed killer goes on a masachistic spree in Texas, number one weapon of choice - The Chainsaw. This film shows extreme violence and gore and will have any horror movie fan engrossed. It also plays on the mind in a psychologically thrilling way and gets you thinking of the motives of the killer. This film will make sure any innocent guys trimming the hedges scare you to death!

Number 3: Scream
Basically, a killer in a costume takes no prisoners as he slowly starts to kill off school students one by one. The killer calls up each of his victims and puts them through a frightening ordeal before finally making his move to murder them. After watching this film, you'll probably be a bit wary of answering your phone!

Number 2: A Nightmare on Elm Street
This has to be near the top of my list as the killer, Freddie Kreuger, comes to kill unsuspecting victims in their slumber. With a burnt face and a specially made glove with knives for fingers, this is a real scream. Ever had a nightmare that felt so real?...One, two, Freddies coming for YOU!

Number 1: Halloween
This has got to be my number one horror movie of all time. Basically, teens are hunted down and killed by psychotic, Michael Myers. He wears a creepy white mask and doesn't seem to ever die. This film really plays on the fear of 'what's behind the mask?' Babysitters watch out!

Now, I haven't given much of the plots away because that would spoil the fun. So now lock the doors, bolt the windows, grab a friend and have a frightastic night watching the top 5 horror movies of all time!
