Is there ANY horror movie that's not a remake???

I mean, really, I've been thinking like ten times that a movie is original, but then I suddenly discover several times that it's a goddamn remake!
I was most surprised that THIS was a remake of a slightly older movie.
Anyone who can write down any horror movie that's not a remake? Preferably not any stupid movie like "Cannibal Hookers" or some *beep* (haven't seen it, but probably don't even want to).
What next, Nightmare on Elm Street being a remake of an old black-and-white Charlie Chaplin-film?!

That's because there are basically only very few stories you could ever tell but hundred thouosands of books and movies out there. So, every new movie will be a remake of sorts or at least borrow from previous works. Writers will always have influences because humans don't live in a bubble. And even if they would - whatever they would come up with, there WILL be a story somewhere else in the world that is very similar.
