Favorite Horror Movies

I'm not a horror movie fan but 'The Hills have Eyes' sorta freaked me out...

The original or the remake?

I would figure that there are a few types of horror movies, ya got your situational(The Birds), your action(evil dead might be a part of this, although its partially a comedy) and your gore(saw, hostel).

 Spoiler

Situational is one of the best(IMO), giving a rather sweet ending that leaves you fearful of the situation that is presented upon the characters. Some other examples of this would be The Myst(the ending was even accepted by King even though it wasn't written that way) and Sphere(bad example i know).

Action is somewhere around the middle, giving you a fair bit of blood with some gore and passing on what is a grim situation. 1408 would be a part of this, along with Event Horizon(though it is science fiction).

Gore is usually going for the violence, usually skipping the bigger scale. Saw(what may be the only movie series in recent history that could be related to a seasonal holiday) and Hostel go for this, but another example would be the hitcher remake.
