  (#1) The Mist

Brown, Kelly Lintz, Walter Fauntleroy, Sonny Franks, Susan Malerstein, Darrick Mosley, Pamela Houghton

  Frank Darabont’s adaptation of Stephen King’s The Mist was both brilliant and brutal. Brilliant in the sense that no one saw that coming because what kind of deviant would come up with that ending? This ending pissed off a TON of people, but no one can say it was bad or ineffective – unnecessary, sure, but incredibly powerful nonetheless.

  After watching their town being invaded by a mist full of Lovecraftian creatures that are devouring the town and its occupants whole, it’s not really shocking when the last remaining townsfolk decide they’d rather kill themselves than be torn apart by beasts. The problem is the sleeping child who doesn’t know his own father (David Drayton) is going to shoot him in the head to keep the monsters from him.

  He opens his eyes just in time to see his dad pointing a gun. You can see the fear, confusion, and betrayal play across his face before the gun sounds. The kick in the gut doesn’t end there. It ends with Drayton first hearing and then seeing with his own eyes that the cavalry has arrived.

  The mist is clearing and it seems the military has won the war against the monsters. He killed his son for nothing. If he had just waited seconds, mere seconds before pulling that trigger... Brutal. Absolutely brutal.

  (#2) The Skeleton Key

  • Kate Hudson, John Hurt, Joy Bryant, Peter Sarsgaard, Gena Rowlands, Forrest Landis, Isaach de Bankolé, David Jensen, Joe Chrest, Joel Schmidt, Michael Wozniak, Deneen Tyler, Keith Frazier, Rudy Regalado, Justin Groetsch, Ross Rouillier, Mark Krasnoff, Korey L. Jarmon, Trula M. Marcus, Rico E. Anderson, Andreas Beckett, Brian Ruppert, Karen Kaia Livers, Michael Tyler Henry, Kristi Chalaire, Karen Pritchett, Melissa Reneé Martin, Jeryl Prescott, Fahnlohnee Harris, James J.

McKenzie, Philip Frazier, Tiffany Helland, Lawrence 'King' Harvey, Glen Andrews, Stafford Agee, Byron Bernard, Ronald McCall, Derrick Tabb, Howard McCary, Kevin O'Neal

  Kate Hudson plays a live-in hospice nurse Caroline, who gets a job caring for an incapacitated man on a creepy plantation. His wife, Violet, is off-putting and abrasive (at best) and the house is rumored to be haunted by former slaves murdered on the property for practicing hoodoo in front of the landowner’s children. The only person who seems normal in Caroline's new life is the lawyer of her new employers. 

  As the film closes, Caroline discovers the souls of those slaves are actually inside the bodies of Violet and the young lawyer. They had been hopping bodies for years and Violet was overdue for an upgrade. They succeed in performing their ritual and Violet enters Caroline’s body, leaving Caroline trapped in the old woman’s body.

  She’s left mute and incapacitated, much like the man she was hired to care for – the soul living inside him actually belonged inside the body of the young lawyer. The slaves walk off with their new, young bodies as Caroline and the lawyer are wheeled away by paramedics in their new elderly forms.

  (#3) Sleepaway Camp

  • Mike Kellin, Katherine Kamhi, Robert Earl Jones, Felissa Rose, Christopher Collet, Jonathan Tiersten, Thomas E. van Dell, Paul DeAngelo, Susan Glaze, John E. Dunn, Karen Fields, Owen Hughes, Loris Sallahian, Desiree Gould , Willy Kuskin

  This good, old-fashioned summer camp teen slasher would not have the cult following it does and would have fallen much deeper into obscurity if not for the jaw-dropping final reveal. The mousy teenager, Angela, is not only revealed as the killer, but apparently, she’s actually her own brother as well.

  As it turns out, Angela died years ago and her brother Peter took over her identity after being forced into cross-dressing in his dead sister’s clothes by his dysfunctional aunt. Angela is revealed as Peter in a creepy full-frontal nude down by the lake while holding a head in his hand.
• 

  (#4) Psycho

  • Alfred Hitchcock, Janet Leigh, Anthony Perkins, Vera Miles, Martin Balsam, John Gavin, Ted Knight, John McIntire, John Anderson, Lurene Tuttle, Simon Oakland, Jeanette Nolan, Frank Albertson, Pat Hitchcock, Virginia Gregg, Vaughn Taylor, Sam Flint, Mort Mills, Fred Scheiwiller, George Eldredge, Francis De Sales, Kit Carson, George Dockstader, Pat McCaffrie, Frank Killmond, Fletcher Allen, Paul Jasmin, Helen Wallace, Harper Flaherty, Lillian O'Malley, Lee Kass, Prudence Beers

  Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho ends with the unassuming mama’s boy Norman Bates revealed as a killer with a split personality who has been hanging out with the mummified corpse of his mother. Norman has been wearing his mother’s clothes, speaking in her voice, and taking on her personality traits the entire time.

  After being apprehended Norman waits in his cell. As the camera slowly zooms in on Norman, we realize he isn’t there. It’s "mother" who has fully taken over now. A fly lands on his hand, but he doesn’t bat it away. In voiceover, Mrs. Bates can be heard insisting Norman was the guilty one. With that sly smile and iconic line, “She wouldn’t even harm a fly.”
• 

  (#5) The Descent

  • Shauna Macdonald, Natalie Mendoza, Alex Reid, Saskia Mulder, MyAnna Buring, Nora-Jane Noone

  There are two versions of this film and the ending in the European version is oh-so-much better (in a super depressing sense). In both, a group of women gets trapped underground after a cave-in during an expedition and they soon discover they aren’t alone. An entire race of flesh-eating creatures lives deep within the cave and starts slaughtering the group. 

  In the original version, only one woman survives the underground massacre and finally escapes the cave. It goes so far as to show her driving away before she comes to and realizes the entire escape was a hallucination and she was still in the cave the whole time. In the edited version, she just drives away.
• 

  (#6) Invasion of the Body Snatchers

  • Robert Duvall, Jeff Goldblum, Leonard Nimoy, Donald Sutherland, Veronica Cartwright, Brooke Adams, Don Siegel, Kevin McCarthy, Art Hindle, Michael Chapman, Philip Kaufman, Lelia Goldoni, Tom Luddy, Stan Ritchie, David Fisher

  The 1978 film is a remake directed by Philip Kaufman, but a great one. The original was released in 1958 and was directed by Don Siegel and based on the book The Body Snatchers by Jack Finney. All version have the same premise; alien beings invade a town, cocoon the humans, and replicate their image as a way to infiltrate the population undetected.

  In the final scene, Matthew Bennell (Donald Sutherland) walks through his office and he makes his way out to the streets. Nancy Bellicec (Veronica Cartwright) is relieved to see another human being in a pod-person infested town, so she approaches him. Much to her horror, Sutherland slowly raises an arm, points at her, contorts his face, and lets out an inhuman screech that is met with her terrified scream. The hero has lost, leaving nothing but feelings of defeat, hopelessness, and an immense sense of doom for the human race.
• 

  (#7) A Nightmare on Elm Street

  • Johnny Depp, Robert Englund, Heather Langenkamp, John Saxon, Lin Shaye, Charles Fleischer, Amanda Wyss, Jack Shea, Ed Call, Jsu Garcia, Ronee Blakley, Joseph Whipp, Joe Unger, Mimi Craven, Sandy Lipton

  The very end of the film takes place in a hazy, dreamlike state. After turning her back on Freddy (Robert Englund), stripping him of his power, all seems to return to normal for Nancy (Heather Langenkamp). She wakes up to the brightest of days and her mother, Marge (Ronee Blakley), and friends are all still alive.

  Nancy heads out with her friends and almost as soon as she hops in the car, it comes to life – the doors and windows lock, the convertible top seals, and it starts driving off on its own. Her mother is yanked through the window by Freddy’s hand and audiences everywhere struggle to figure out which half of the third act was really the dream. 
• 

  (#8) Rosemary's Baby

  • Mia Farrow, Tony Curtis, John Cassavetes, Charles Grodin, Ruth Gordon, Ralph Bellamy, Victoria Vetri, Maurice Evans, Patsy Kelly, Wende Wagner, Sidney Blackmer, Elisha Cook, Jr., Hanna Hertelendy, Phil Leeds, Duke Fishman, Roy Barcroft, George Savalas, William Castle, Hope Summers, George R. Robertson, Emmaline Henry, Tom Signorelli, D'Urville Martin, Walter Baldwin, Bill Baldwin, John Halloran, Robert Osterloh, Jack Knight, Almira Sessions, Ernest Harada, Michael Shillo, Jean Inness, Floyd Mutrux, Gail Bonney, Elmer Modling, Gordon Connell, Jack Ramage, Mona Knox, Carol Brewster, Marilyn Harvey, Clay Tanner, Louise Lawson, Marianne Gordon, Frank White, Josh Peine, Al Szathmary, Natalie Masters, Paul Denton, Patricia O'Callaghan, Janet Garland, Michel Gomez, Charlotte Boerner, Joyce Davis, Bruno Sidar, Patricia Ann Conway, Joan T. Reilly, Lynn Brinker, Gale Peters, Viki Vigen, Sebastian Brook

  The ending of Rosemary’s Baby traumatized expectant mothers everywhere. Rosemary, played by Mia Farrow, discovers her newborn is the son of Satan. Anyone would completely freak out about this, maybe even try to kill the baby, have it exorcised, or try to find a way to stop the cult. Not Rosemary, at least not in the closing scene. She calmly steps in and comforts her crying demon child.

  Her demeanor implies that she’s completely accepted the situation and would rather embrace her son than lose him. She almost seems peaceful as she smiles down at him, which is much creepier than the attempted assassination of a baby would have been.
• 

  (#9) In the Mouth of Madness

  • Sam Neill, Julie Carmen, Jürgen Prochnow, Charlton Heston

  John Carpenter’s In the Mouth of Madness is a Lovecraftian horror that, sadly, often goes overlooked. In it, John Trent (Sam Neill), an insurance investigator, is hired by a publishing company to investigate the disappearance of prized horror author Sutter Cane and his latest manuscript.

  He and book publisher Linda Styles, (Julie Carmen) track the eccentric author down in Hobbs End, a land of Cane’s creation. Trent discovers anyone who reads the book will be turned into monsters and he makes it his mission to stop this from happening (even if that means hacking readers to death with an axe).

  The film closes with a stark-raving-mad John Trent, leaving the false safety of his padded cell to voyage into a world overrun with monsters unleashed by Sutter Cane (who has transcended to god-like status). Trent wanders into a theater screening the adaptation of Cane’s book. He then comes to the realization that he isn’t a person at all, he is merely a character in Cane’s book - written into a horrific existence.

  Trent dives deeper into the mouth of madness with this revelation as he watches himself on the big screen, maniacally laughing and crying while reliving everything he just went through.

  (#10) The Last House on the Left

  • Martin Kove, Steve Miner, Fred J. Lincoln, Sandra Cassel, David Hess, Jeramie Rain, Lucy Grantham, Jonathan Craven, Marc Sheffler, Gaylord St. James, Marshall Anker, Cynthia Carr, Ada Washington, Anthony J. Forcelli, Ray Edwards

  Teenagers Mari Collingwood and Phyllis Stone head to a concert but make a detour to buy some weed. They meet Junior, who leads them into the hands of three criminals who drag them into the woods to torture, rape, and murder them – which consumes a good 45 minutes of the film.

  These monsters unknowingly end up at Mari's parent's house when their car breaks down. Eventually, her parents put the pieces together and inflict some satisfyingly sadistic revenge on each one of those psychopaths. 
• 

  (#11) The Wicker Man

  • Christopher Lee, Britt Ekland, Edward Woodward, Ingrid Pitt, Diane Cilento, John Hallam, Lindsay Kemp, Roy Boyd, Russell Waters, John Sharp, Donald Eccles, Gerry Cowper, Fiona Kennedy, Irene Sunters, Lesley Mackie, Richard Wren, Jimmy MacKenzie, Myra Forsyth, Jennifer Martin, Penny Cluer

  The Wicker Man was remade in 2006 starring Nicolas Cage, but the original from 1973 is still a well-executed, atmospheric addition to the family of horror classics. In it, Police Sergeant Neil Howie (Edward Woodward) investigates a missing child on a British isle that celebrates pagan customs. As the film concludes, it’s revealed there is no missing girl. The story was made up to lure in fresh blood to be sacrificed to the pagan gods. Howie is shoved it the giant wicker man and set ablaze.

  Howie, a Christian, prays to God as the flames and smoke rise up around him. The Pagans sing their Celtic folk song, cheerfully swaying along, looking forward to being rewarded with healthy crops for their human sacrifice.
• 

  (#12) Burnt Offerings

  • Bette Davis, Burgess Meredith, Oliver Reed, Karen Black, Dub Taylor, Eileen Heckart, Anthony James, Lee Montgomery, Todd Turquand, Joseph Riley

  In Burnt Offerings, Marian (Karen Black) and David Rolf (Oliver Reed) take their son (Lee Montgomery) and elderly aunt (Bette Davis) on a summer vacation. The owners of their summer home have the requirement that their reclusive mother must remain in her bedroom during their stay. The Rolfs are asked to leave meals outside her door and not interact with her.

  As if that weren’t weird enough, the old Victorian mansion seems to feed on humans. As accidents occur the house seems more alive, regenerating from the pain of its occupants. Plants come back to life, cracked paint mends itself, and still clocks suddenly right themselves and begin ticking once again as the family continues to fall apart. Marian becomes obsessed with maintaining the house and seems to be aging rapidly - it’s slowly taking her for itself. At the film’s conclusion, all seems calm. It appears as if the family is free of whatever ancient evil permeates the mansion’s foundation.

  Naturally, they decide to get the hell out of there and it seems the house has let them do just that as they sit in their car out front without incident. But Marian is concerned about leaving the old woman alone. She heads back inside (as audiences everywhere yell at the screen). Ben gets worried and leaves David in the car while he goes to get Marian. He enters the attic bedroom to find the old lady with her back to him and unresponsive. He turns her chair around to find it’s his wife, aged considerably and completely taken over. She throws him out the window and he lands face first on the car windshield, a bloody heap. David runs out of the car screaming for his mother and the chimney starts to dismantle itself, crushing him to death with the rubble.

  The sibling landlords return, happy that their mother has returned to them, implying that not only have the human sacrifices restored their estate, but also brought their mother back (in Marion’s body).
• 

  (#13) Halloween

  • Jamie Lee Curtis, Kyle Richards, Donald Pleasence, Sandy Johnson, Charles Cyphers, P. J. Soles, Nancy Kyes, Nancy Stephens, Nick Castle, Brian Andrews, David Kyle, John Michael Graham

  Just as Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) thinks it’s safe to stop and breathe, a presumably dead Michael Myers rises silently and attacks her once more. Dr. Loomis (Donald Pleasence) shoots Myers repeatedly and he falls out of the window (presumably to his death).

  Lori sobs, “It was the Boogeyman.”

  “As a matter of fact, it was,” Dr. Loomis confirms.  

  When Loomis looks for Myers's body, it's nowhere to be found.
• 

  (#14) Angel Heart

  • Robert De Niro, Mickey Rourke, Lisa Bonet, Charlotte Rampling, Brownie McGhee, Michael Higgins, Ezekial Dann Florek, Stocker Fontelieu, Eliott Keener, Elizabeth Whitcraft

  Private investigator Harry Angel is searching for a former singer that went off to serve in World War II and disappeared. This case leads him to a series of murders. Further investigation reveals HE is the man he’s looking for on both counts. 
• 

  (#15) Kill List

  • MyAnna Buring, Ben Crompton, Emma Fryer, Michael Smiley, Alice Lowe, Neil Maskell, Sara Dee, Steve Oram, Struan Rodger, Mark Kempner, Robin Hill, Lee Steele, Gareth Tunley, Gemma Lise Thornton, Janice Bird, Robert Hill, Lucie James, Frenchie Cowley, Ann Turner, Alex Blake, David Bowen, Josh Honeybourne, David Mares, Zoe Thomas, Chaelyn Allcock, Harry Simpson, Jimmy May, Lorna Gladhill, Katya Galiana-Philip, Ann Lomax, Rebecca Holmes, Gareth James, Richard Stocks, Lauren Maile-Wilson, Dennis Turner, Niki Jones, Emily McKinley, John Chappell, Shane Fitzsimmons, Josh Moore, Hannah Murton, James Bateson, Esme Folley, Alex Janczenia, Andy Stirling, Ciaran Humphries, Simon Smith, Janice Worsley, James Nickerson, Dave McKinley, Richard Mileham, Lora Evans, Brian Gaugan, Glynn Davies, Keith Lomax, Jamelle Ola, Damien Thomas, Stuart Webb, Aahid Rasool, Jennifer Andrews, Lyn Wesson, David Charles Denwood, Nadine Lloyd, Sharron Hardy, Pat Kelly, Joy Palmer, John Striker, Stephen Preston, Lynn Copperfield, Ken Birch, Joan Cooper, Dorothy Webb, Edward Booth, Alice Harrand, Nick Lea, Tom Adcock, Daphne Eland

  Sure, technically Ben Wheatley’s Kill List is more of a thriller, but in the final half hour, it certainly takes a pretty horrific turn. Jay (Neil Maskell) manages to escape the cultists that are after him, but he is knocked unconscious once he reaches the cottage where his wife and son are hiding. Once he regains consciousness, he realizes he’s in a field surrounded by the cultists.

  He is then forced to fight a cloaked figure out to murder him. Jay kills his adversary, however, once uncloaked, he sees the bloody mess of his wife and son. This was the ultimate sacrifice, last on the kill list. He stands there in shock. The cultist crown him.
• 

  (#16) Videodrome

  • Debbie Harry, James Woods, David Cronenberg, Jayne Eastwood, Leslie Carlson, Sonja Smits, Kay Hawtrey, Peter Dvorsky, Jack Creley, Julie Khaner, Lally Cadeau, David Tsubouchi, David Bolt, Lynne Gorman, Henry Gomez, Sam Malkin, Reiner Schwartz, Bob Church, Franciszka Hedland, Harvey Chao

  In this body-horror by David Cronenberg, James Woods plays Max Renn, television producer of “softcore porn and violence.” He haphazardly stumbles on to Videodrome, an underground broadcasting of a disturbing nature. He discovers these aren’t fictional programs and Videodrome is sending out hidden signals that cause insane hallucinations and physical manifestations.

  Renn’s grip on reality crumbles; he’s infected and becoming increasingly violent. He is told "death is not the end... to become the new flesh, you must kill the old flesh." He watches himself commit suicide on the television and then mimics what he just saw in an infinite reflection of television screens. “Long live the new flesh” are his final words. He kills the old flesh.
• 

  (#17) Audrey Rose

  • Anthony Hopkins, Marsha Mason, John Hillerman, John Beck, Norman Lloyd, Robert Walden, Philip Sterling, Stephen Pearlman, Susan Swift

  The Templeton family is turned upside down when a stranger begins stalking them and their daughter Ivy (Susan Swift) starts having memories that don’t belong to her. Elliot Hoover (Anthony Hopkins) finally stops lurking and approaches the family, claiming that Ivy is actually the reincarnation of his daughter Audrey Rose. You can guess what kind of drama a claim like that would cause.

  By the time the film begins to come to a close, Janice Templeton (Marsha Mason) believes Hoover is right as Ivy’s nightmares worsen, but Bill Templeton (John Beck) still refuses to accept the possibility. He has Hoover arrested for allegedly trying to kidnap her. Janice actually testifies for Hoover, stating she believes her daughter is, in fact, Audrey Rose reincarnated. Bill and the Templetons' lawyer arrange for a hypnosis session to prove that Ivy is really just Ivy. During the hypnosis, Ivy ends up reliving the car crash as Audrey Rose and dies during the session from the trauma.

  In the last scene, it’s revealed through Janice writing a letter to Hoover that Audrey/Ivy’s ashes were taken to India, and she implies her husband is starting to come to terms with their daughter’s identity.
• 

  (#18) Possession

  • Sam Neill, Isabelle Adjani, Heinz Bennent, Margit Carstensen, Carl Duering, Johanna Hofer, Leslie Malton, Shaun Lawton, Thomas Frey, Michael Hogben, Maximilian Rüthlein

  Mark (Sam Neill) is an international spy with a wife (Isabelle Adjani) who is slowly coming unhinged. Mark finds out his wife, Anna, has been having an affair and wants a divorce. She ends up leaving him with their son, Bob. It’s discovered that Anna is cheating on her husband and her lover with a creature who has consumed her and driven her to commit murder to feed it. Mark still loves her, even after walking in on his wife having creepy tentacle sex with this monstrosity.

  The end of this film is a whirlwind of chaos as Mark goes on a rampage, staging car accidents and leaving a trail of destruction in an attempt to cover up Anna’s murderous tracks. In the final scene, Anna catches up to a bloody and battered Mark to show him that her creature is “all finished now.” The creature has become an exact replica of Mark. Mark tries to shoot it but the police have caught up to them and bullets rain down on Mark and Anna. Anna lies on top of Mark and shoots herself in the back. The doppelganger is impervious and escapes, heading straight for young Bob.

  Their son Bob is with his teacher Helen (who looks exactly like his mother except with green eyes). The doppelganger rings the doorbell and Bob pleads with Helen not to open the door before he runs upstairs, diving into the bathtub. The sounds of sirens, planes, and explosions erupt through the room.

  Helen stands fixed by the door with the doppelganger on the other side. Bob lays face down in a full bathtub as if dead. He is left alone in the world except for two copies of his parents.
• 

  (#19) The Innocents

  • Deborah Kerr, Michael Redgrave, Pamela Franklin, Peter Wyngarde, Megs Jenkins, Martin Stephens, Isla Cameron, Eric Woodburn, Clytie Jessop

  In Jack Clayton’s gothic horror The Innocents, Deborah Kerr plays Miss Giddens, a governess of two children in a creepy, haunted mansion. She discovers the children, Flora (Pamela Franklin) and Miles (Martin Stephens) are being possessed by spirits, but they don’t seem to realize it – or do they? Miss Giddens is faced with the horror that these spectral sightings could be in her head or that the children may, in fact, be in league with the ghosts.

  By the end, little Flora is sent away and Miss Giddens is left alone with Miles (and the ghosts). She tries to save the boy from Quint, the spirit she believes is after him, but it’s too late. In the garden with looming statues as her only witnesses, Quint kills Miles.  
• 

  (#20) Tourist Trap

  • Tanya Roberts, Chuck Connors, Keith McDermott, Robin Sherwood, Jon Van Ness, Jocelyn Jones, Dawn Jeffory

  After getting stranded and predictably separated in an isolated wooded area with nothing but a creepy tourist trap filled with animated waxworks, a group of friends get picked off one by one. The crazed killer is actually the seemingly kind and simple country bumpkin, Slausen (Chuck Connors) who offered to help fix their car in the first place.

  As it turns out, Slausen is a crazed killer who began with his cheating wife and his good-for-nothing brother she was having an affair with. He just kept killing after that, preserving his victims as wax dummies kept all over the house to keep him company. He has some kind of telepathic ability and can make the dolls move, driving his delusions. Slausen kills everyone until only Molly (Jocelyn Jones) remains. He torments her with the moving mannequins, but she sees an opportunity to grab an axe and takes it. She chops him to death as he dances with the doll in his dead wife’s likeness. 

  The film then ends similarly to Nightmare on Elm Street where everything is bright and hazy, making it disorienting enough that you wonder if it’s a dream. It’s a new day and Molly, the “final girl,” is seen driving away from the wax house of horrors with all of her friends (in mannequin form) in the car with her.
