For awhile now, I've wanted to indulge deep into the horror movie genre. I have seen most of the original Friday the 13th films, Saw films and Child's Play films. That is about it. I probably have seen some other horror movies but as of right now, they're not that memorable.

Seeing that I am practically starting from scratch, where should I begin? Are there any good websites out there that are filled with good horror movie resources that can help me out? Or any websites that have full-length films on them?

Thanks.
