best endings in horror movies

What would you say are some of the best endings in horror films. a couple of my personal favorite is "The Others" and "The Vanishing" the George Sluizer's version.

Scream and Halloween 4 come to mind.

Dawn of the Dead
Jeepers Creepers
Blair Witch 2
Saw

Hellraiser (and Jesus Wept), Army of Darkness(S-Mart Ending), Zombi(The march on New York), The Thing(The ending).

I liked the endings to the original Pyscho and Freddy VS Jason.

Hellraiser, AOD, Saw, Candyman, TCM

"Saw" ending was bullshit, IMO. I've held that opinion for the longest time. Very haggard.

Se7en, TCM.

the 'saw' ending was cool i think.

Se7en because I NEVER expected anything like that to ever happen. Also, Halloween 1 because of the ending when Loomis shoots the shit out of Myers and then he disappears into the night. "It was the Boogeyman, wasn't it?"

Saw

Wow,am I the only one who thinks this could very well be one of the stupidest/dumbest horror movie endings to date?

To jigsaw could stay still for the amount of time that he did and with all that going on(gun shots,yelling,screaming as a man cut his leg off,etc...).
Its just so far-fetched and ridiculous.There attempt to shock the audience just went way too overboard.

In my opinon its a great movie up until the final five minutes.

While my reply may not lean towards a horror movie, the potential for scary lie in the fact that we have a man who hasn't slept in a year, loses weight to the point of being repulsive and is an all around paranoid. I'm talking about "The Machinist" Mock if you must and I'm sure u must, but that movie had an ending that kicked ass, and I myself never expected.
Drama maybe, thriller quite possible, but for me the fact, or fiction of what the human mind is cabable of is pretty damn scary.

I forgot to mention Se7en.

Yeah, you either love it or hate it, I think.

For every thread on the best or worst ending in a horror movie, there's a debate on Saw's ending.

I just feel extra passionate about this ending because I think it had such a good set up that was totally trashed in the last twist of the film.

although not all horror movies i think the following movies had kick ass endings

the manson family aka charlies family
gods lonely man
taxi-driver
texas chainsaw massacre(original)
cannibal holocaust

The Korean horror movie A Tale of Two Sisters had a good ending as well.
