From Halloween classics to pure camp, the ChicagoPride.com editors pick the Top 10 Halloween/Horror flicks!
1 Psycho (1960) buy the movie
Although Director Alfred Hitchcock's film is over 40 years old, it still manages to give you a scare. This classic is wonderfully crafted.
2 Hellbent (2005) buy the movie
Set in West Hollywood, this is the first ever gay slasher film. Hot guys with plenty of blood and gore. What's not to like?

Based on the book by Thomas Harris, Silence of the Lambs is one of the best spine-tingling thirllers of all time.
4 The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975) buy the movie
This one-of-a-kind musical is more camp than it is scary, yet it's become a cult classic.
5 Halloween (1978) buy the movie
In 1978, little known director John Carpenter unleased the Halloween series. Halloween is certainly a classic.

Based on a book by Stephen King, Stanley Kubrick's thriller is one of the best movies of the 80's and is sure to creep you out.

One of the scariest movies of all-time!
8 Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956) buy the movie
This 1950's classic sci-fi chiller remains a remarkable and brilliant film.
