Guillermo del Toro's Top 5 Horror Films

This Guillermo Del Toro,

and the movie is Crimson Peak.

I have horror, scary horror.

I think, The Haunting,

Stop it!

The Innocents.

♫ Until my lover returns to ♫

Alien,

(woman screaming)

Jaws,

(suspenseful orchestra music)

Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

Ahh!

(chainsaw buzzing)

For short,

that actually scare you.

I would say The Exorcist,

but The Exorcist when I was a kid,

didn't do anything for me.

I was like,

(growling)

but then I became a parent,

and it became incredibly scary.

So, films change with your age,

but those five scared me at the time.

The truth in our world

and what we need to understand

is the horror is all too human.

You have to fear the living more than the dead.

And there is one ghost experience I have

in New Zealand, in Waitomo.

'Cause when I go to a city,

I rent the haunted room in a hotel.

It was only seven people in the whole hotel.

It was closed for the season.

And in the middle of the night,

I was watching The Wire on DVD,

and I hear a murder.

A horrible, horrible murder in the room.

There was a huge balcony

and I knew,

I knew, I just knew, that if I raised my eyes

to the balcony,

there was going to be somebody there tapping on the window.

And I thought, I'm not looking through the veil

and I'm not looking up.

And I didn't sleep a single second.
