When I was a kid I was convinced that Poltergeist and The Shining were made for the specific purpose of getting inside my personal brain and scaring the shit out me. Now I watch them and giggle.
As an adult the only one that still disturbs me is Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer because it clearly illustrates that a) there are some really fucking crazy people in this world and b) it's really easy for them to kill you if they damn well want to.

Great minds..
While not the scariest one I've seen, John Carpenter's The Thing was pretty scary when it first came out.
Excellent choices so far with the first Alien and The Exorcist.
Someone mentioned John Carpenter's The Thing. My personal favorite scary Carpenter movie is Prince of Darkness. It helps to know that movie was made in 1987 so the 1999 references have the proper orientation when watching the movie.
I don't like slash 'em movies like the Friday the 13th series, or those Saw gore flicks.
Scaring the bejeesus out of someone is best when it is done on an intellectual level.
The original Alien, the first time I saw it.
bravo...I saw it in a theater originally and a few years ago they had a re-release in 70 MM, its was fucking fantastic.
I may get shot for this but the best horror movie I have seen behind that....Blair Witch Project...saw it about 2 weeks after it came out. excellent piece of work.
I eat, sleep and breath horror movies.
I grew up reading Steven King and Dean Koontz.
Love it.
The Exorcist?
LMAO all the way through it!
Oddly enough, the one movie that did (and still does) get to me was "The Ventriloquist".
The dummy did the killings.
Just something about that wooden face weirds me out.
Just talking about it, now, will probably gimme nightmares tonight!!
My all time favorite is "The Others".
Amazingly clever plot twist.
I can usually figure a movie out only a third into it but this one fooled me.
Great thread.
Love the bloody stuff!!
