1) It. By Stephen King. Even though I think the end is crap and the acting can be quite bad, it scared me the more than any other film as a child. The concept that a monster can turn into your dead relatives and squelch towards you, or turn into whatever you fear the most is amazing. Plus the environment it lives in, down the tunnels in the sewers. I read the book and got obsessed by the story, but like I said the ending is so bad that I pretty much ignored what stephen king wrote and came up with my own ending in my head.
2) Nightmare on Elm street. I love freddy as a character and I saw it at a movie theater/cinema last year and it made me realize how much I miss the days of seeing teenagers getting slashed up dripping with blood on the huge screen, as opposed to the new horror films out which seem to offer a less direct threat of violence.
3) The shining Good concept. Also good acting, good ending, and doesn't look outdated now after all these years. Nearly every scene in the movie is a classic scene which has been parodied so much. Loved the book aswell.
4) The texas Chainsaw massacre. Not the most complicated plot ever, but I liked the idea of this mysterious family out in texas in the middle of nowhere. And I like it so much I suppose because it's just a classic in my mind.
5) Saw. Love everything about it.
6)Pet semetary. Pretty scary, but the scariness is sometimes ruined by the 80s style corniness. Good ending too. Loved the book.
7)Shutter Island Loved the story, the plot twists, amazingly good acting.
8) Paranormal activities. Good idea, scary, good ending.
9) The mist Not that scary, corny acting which can be common in Stephen King films. But some really good scenes, a lot of suspense and just an interesting film overall.
10) The orphan.
Honorable mention Insidious
I chose the last two at random really out of some new horror films I've seen.
Also I just want to add that when I say that I don't like the ending of a film it's usually because it's just too much of an obvious ending, The surviving people being exactly who I thought would survive.

Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
