I rate most of these films a strong B+, but Texas Chainsaw Massacre is the only straight A (pending a rewatch of Psycho).

In past years, The Shining would've run away with this poll. I'm glad to see the love spread so wide, with every film receiving at least one vote and four films tied for the lead.

Maybe I should make the most voted movie I have not watched my entry for this year's Shocktober. The Witch and Cloverfield are the only horror movies I have watched this year.
