Greg McLean's Top 10 Horror Movies of All Time7 of 11
7. Psycho (1960)
"Another entry from the master filmmaker and one of the purest and most influential horror movies of all time. Alfred Hitchcock, its twisted creator, apparently made it as he thought it was 'funny,' which speaks of the perverse pleasure horror moviemakers get from terrifying their audiences witless. A big influence on my first movie Wolf Creek: I borrowed 'killing the hero' halfway through, among other things."
