Halloween arrives so it's inevitable to see a horror movie. Precisely the Total Sci-fi portal online just done a survey of surfers on the 100 best horror movies, who heads the list is The Shining, a film by Stanley Kubrick with the disturbing image of Jack Nicholson getting into the head by a broken door.

The list has several films from all ages and tastes, from psychosis, the Cabinet of Dr. Caligari to The Exorcist, which put the willies a whole generation in the '80s with the famous scene where the girl possessed by the demon turns his head completely.
