Aaron: Terrific list. The original A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984) is such a great film. I watched it recently and it still holds up, and it is still really scary. Craven's film boasts a tremendous atmosphere of dread, and I'm always impressed by Heather Langenkamp's performance as Nancy.
I'm also happy to see The Blair Witch Project get another shout-out. Elm Street launched the rubber-reality sub-genre, and BWP launched the found-footage genre, for sure...
More 'An American Werewolf in London' love and a another classic, The Wicker Man, on a list. Well done.
