It's our Halloween horror flick round-up. We asked Takeaway listeners and our contributors, Newsday film critic Rafer Guzman and Spout editor Karina Longworth, to compile a list of the best horror films ever. Classics like "Cat People" and "Night of the Living Dead" made the list, but so did big '80s blockbusters like "Alien."

Click through to read Rafer and Karina's full list and watch video clips from some of the classics.

Rafer's list:

• The Shining: 1980, Directed by Stanley Kubrick, starring Jack Nicholson.
• Jaws: 1980, Directed by Steven Spielberg, starring Richard Dreyfuss.
