Top three greatest horror movies of all time. Number three is Psycho. There's a lot that's been said about Psycho. I mean, it completely changed cinema as a whole. So many things push the envelope in that movie from seeing a woman in a bra, which was like, oh my god, back then, or even seeing a toilet in a movie. It was the first time there had ever been a toilet flushing in a movie. Also, just the concept of doing away with the lead character halfway through the movie and having the plot completely pivot was revolutionary. And just this sort of unseen killer going around, you know, doing away with characters, it gave us the entire slasher genre. Number two is the Texas chainsaw massacre. Now what Psycho introduced was what the Texas chainsaw massacre took to a new height that I don't think has ever been topped. Because not only is it a slasher film, it's a tense thriller. It's a film that makes us fear cannibals and hicks and the unseen. But also, you then see so much. And it's a horrifying movie. And it still works today, what, 50 years later, I mean, it's unbelievably brilliant. If you like this list and want more about other nonsense, follow me, leave me a comment with the movie you think is the greatest in the horror genre. Also follow my wife Samantha, who I've tagged. Number one, because no other movie literally made people pass out in the theater and have them run to church to make a confession, it's the exorcist.
