Ok so this was posted on Yahoo, what are your thoughts and opinions. I think for the most part its pretty dead on, killer choices, yahoo slays me.(puns intended).:P

HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYBODY! BE SAFE.

VAMPIRE
Winner: Nosferatu the Vampyre (1979)

Dreamy, handsome vampires with great clothes and perfect hair are all the rage these days. Yet old-school horror mavens know that vampires should look like death warmed over. F. W. Murnau's 1922 classic featured the seriously spooky Max Schrek as the fearsome bloodsucking count, but he didn't have the freakish intensity of Klaus Kinski in Werner Herzog's remake.

Runner Up: Near Dark (1987)

BEST HAUNTED HOUSE
Winner: The Shining (1980)

Helpful hint: If you're planning to work as a caretaker for a beautiful, if isolated, hotel over the winter, make sure it wasn't the site of a familial bloodbath the previous season. The ghosts are sure to interfere with marital harmony and that elevator of blood is a real pain to clean up.

Runner Up: Poltergeist (1982)

KILLER ANIMALS
Winner: Jaws (1975)

Basically, a shark is a razor-sharp set of teeth with fins. It's an animal that looks like it was thought up by some demented Hollywood production designer. So it isn't surprising that tinseltown turned a Great White into one of the scariest bad guys ever to hit the big screen.

Runner Up: The Birds (1963)

ALIEN
Winner: Alien (1979)

There's been a long history in movies of creatures from outer space freaking out the good citizens of earth -- from Gort, the robotic enforcer in "The Day the Earth Stood Still" to the burger-shilling extra-terrestrial in "Mac and Me." But few creatures have been as terrifying as the snarling, acid-bleeding, astronaut killing machine found in "Alien."

Runner Up: The Thing (1982)

BEST CANNIBAL
Winner: The Silence of the Lambs (1991)

Cannibalism is generally regarded as only slightly less reprehensible than working as a health insurance executive. But Hannibal Lecter snacks on his fellow man with such aplomb. After all, anyone can eat a liver. Only Lecter would serve it with fava beans and a nice Chianti.

Runner Up: Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974)

ZOMBIES (Slow)
Winner: Night of the Living Dead (1968)

George Romero's 1968 low-budget masterpiece set the standard for movie zombies. Those slow, shuffling reanimated corpse were frightening because of their relentless thirst for human flesh, not because they could out run Usain Bolt.

Runner Up: Dawn of the Dead (1979)

ZOMBIES (Fast)
Winner: 28 Days Later (2002)

Though purists might scoff at Danny Boyle's vision of zombies as mindless disease victims with anger management problems, the movie, and its unnervingly realistic vision of the zombie apocalypse, is unquestionably frightening.

Runner Up: Dawn of the Dead (2004)

*edit*
SCARIEST FOXHOUND:

Runner up: Foxhound. He is a part of leadership now.

Nice post. I've been trying to decide what movies to watch with my girlfriend tonight. Silence of the Lamb and Alien are some of my favorites.
 
I just watched Dawn of the dead (2004) at a party a couple hours ago. Pretty damn good movie.
 
I would have to say that 28 weeks later is much better than 28 days later though. Weeks is more fighting/running from zombies, days is like an OMG WHAT WE DOIN NAO kinda thing, atleast I thought so

i would have to agree, 28 days laters just whetted my appetite and 28 weeks later bumps it up a notch and leaves you hangin at the end for more, when is 28 months later comin out?
