I think I'd have to give it to Bruce Campbell and Sam Raimi's Evil Dead, because it's just so much fun!

Great thread for Halloween!

The scariest when I was a kid were "It" and "The Shining".

I was also pretty disturbed by "The Exorcist". That movie was messed up.

The original "Night of the Living Dead" was creepy too. I think I need to watch a good scary flick tonight.

I'll add a few more of my personal faves from a genre I particularly love, aside from ones already mentioned (like The Shining ... scared the pants off of me when I was a young lad):

Nosferatu

The Thing ... crosses that boundary of horror/sci fi (like Alien, but a good creep/scare/gore fest nonetheless.

May

Scream ... before you start going, 'Yeah, whatever,' I think that as a 'scary' movie, it does the job well. The sequels don't count.

Halloween ... the Jamie Lee Curtis version. See rationale above.

And I'm still not sure, to this day, what category Jaws falls into. Thriller? Horror? Suspense? Either way you slice it, I didn't go near water of any kind for a long, long time after seeing it. I think that says enough.

*Edit for a typo.

I thought "hostel" was definitely up there.

You can watch Night of the Living Dead in color somewhere on the web...

Ahh here it is, in 10 parts on Youtube:

Nice n' cheesy. Have to admit I'd forgotten about The Shining--very scary even until this day.

Not a big fan of Saw / Hostel / The Descent. I did like the new Halloween directed by Rob Zombie, though, as well as The Devil's Rejects.

honestly when i think of genuine classic movies in the genre all i can think of is 'the shining'

Rob Zombie knows his stuff. I had the biggest crush on him when I was in H.S. Embarassed

In any case, that movie he did House of 1000 corpses freaked me out.

But the only movie I remember that freaked me out and I won't watch ever again is the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre. It's not the blood, it's something that I can't quite put my finger on...

I just say "The Exorcist" but some other users have reminded me of a couple others. The Shining was pretty scary. The only really scary dreams I have to this day are zombie dreams. So I would have to say zombie movies are pretty scary. The Day After, not a horror movie, was pretty scary.

Salem's Lot has one really really scary scene in the jail. Pet Cemetary was moderately scary. Carrie's ending was pretty scary.

Boston.com's number one scariest flick:

1. 'The Thing' (1982)
�Scariest movie . . . ever!� We mean it. The film follows a crew stationed at an Antarctic base stalked by a shape-shifting alien. Which member of the crew is the alien? The crew doesn�t know, and neither does the audience until the creature begins one of its stomach churning transformations. If the scene where the guy�s head sprouting insect legs to escape doesn�t give you nightmares consult a therapist immediately.http://www.boston.com/ae/movies/gallery/top_50_scary_movies?pg=50

Some think that it's based on a true story ... Shocked
