Stanley Kubrick's the Shining is the best horror film ever made, say the editors of TotalSciFi.com. The film's ''expansive sets, surreal visuals, and an intense performance from Jack Nicholson add up to a film guaranteed to give viewers a sleepless night." The top 10:

  1. The Shining (1980)
  2. Rosemary's Baby (1968)
  3. The Wicker Man (1973)
  4. Bride of Frankenstein (1935)
