ST. LOUIS - We had a huge response to Thursday's list of the 6 best horror movies you haven't seen, and many asked if any of them are on Netflix. Sadly, many on that list are not available on Netflix's instant watch, but with the help of our good friend Tom Stockman from WeAreMovieGeeks.com, we found the 10 best horror flicks you can watch on Netflix right now!
10. "The Legend of Hell House" (1973): An effectively spooky thriller from 1973 about a team of paranormal experts confronting ghosts in a haunted mansion is a prime example of how what you don't see is often much more unnerving than what you do.
9. "Nosferatu" (1922): If you think a movie over 90-years-old can't be scary, think again. Max Schreck's Count Orlock, with his rat-like demeanor and long, bony fingers ending in talon-like nails, still sends chills down the spine.
8. "The Human Centipede" (2009): The "ick" factor went to eleven in the 2009 shocker about a mad scientist and his greatest medical achievement; the three-in-one human centipede! It's a sick, twisted, repulsive joke but a scary one.
7. "Evil Dead 2" (1987): Scary, gory and hilarious at the same time, director Sam Raimi must have loved to torment star Bruce Campbell, putting him through the most grueling, blood-splattered experience an actor should ever go through. Who's laughing now?
6. "Shivers" (1975): Venturing far into dark and unsettling horror territory, this early film from director David Cronenberg was a nightmare of zombie outbreak, promiscuous sex, and venereal disease.
5. "Re-Animator" (1985): An over-the-top, tongue-in-cheek splatter classic from 1987. Highlights include a brain removal, a bone saw through the torso, a decapitation with a spade, a crushed head thrown at a wall, and an exploding stomach with writhing intestines.
4. "Black Sunday" (1960): Fabulous Gothic horror epic in glorious black and white from the great Italian director Mario Bava who brought so much style and atmosphere to this 1960 film. Star Barbara Steele was the ultimate European Scream Queen.
3. "Henry, Portrait of a Serial Killer" (1990): Loosely based upon the exploits of notorious serial killer Henry Lee Lucas, this is a dark film about a deranged and demented soul. Michael Rooker as Henry is almost too believable.
2. "Carrie" (1976): A horror classic that has haunted prom nights ever since it was back in 1976, Brian De Palma's film was the first adaptations of a Stephen King novel and is still the best.
1. "Night of the Living Dead" (1968): Almost 50 years later, and despite a zillion tries, George Romero's original walking dead gut-munching classic has never been topped. Low-budget horror that redefined the genre.
