Page 1 of Essential Horror Purchases???

Trying to build up my horror film collection - but want to make sure I have the essentials first! At the minute trying to get a few of the `classic` 80`s horrors, but am interested in everything.

So what would you say are essential for a collection? Exorcist, The Thing, Nightmare on Elm Street?

Thanks!

just off the top of my head - I`ll probably come back and edit this later,
but you definately need the Thing.
also, halloweens, exorcist (*i think you are getting that already), some Fulcis, some Dario Argentos, the evil deads (your old sig suggests you might have these as well), erm, critters, house, fright night, trick or treat, ghoulies, childs play...

"There he goes. One of God`s own prototypes. Some kind of high powered mutant never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die."

The Shining, I would also recommend Session 9, very creepy!

Amityville Horror collection, the region 1 box set comes with the first three movies and a bonus disc. £12.90 from dvd soon.
