"The Shining" is a great one.

The only movie that actually had me scared [and not just jumping a bit out of the seat due to a sudden loud noise] was "Ju-on" ["The Grudge"]. The US remake was embarassing though...

Don't know if it's been mentioned, but for me at the moment 'Ringu 2.'

Hideo Nakata's masterpiece imo. Send chills down my spine everytime.

I liked the first, but think the second is better.

I'll be dating myself but....

I loved the "Hammer" movies growing up...the ones w/Christopher Lee & Peter Cushing. Sometimes kitschy but often atmospheric rather than graphic.

Anyone ever see "The Wicker Man"(1973) w/Edward Woodward?

Thirding or fourthing, Alien and Aliens, scared the nuts off me when I was younger. Still like watching the pulse rifle in action.

Of the others I remember when I was younger watching Stephen King's "IT" (Although this maybe is more of a psychological thriller)

And of the most recent, I thought "R-Point" was very good.

It depends on what the boundary between thriller and horror is, there's plenty of crossover points.

A couple of people have said The Descent and that is a great one. I stand by The Exorcist, but The Descent could easily be number 2.

When I was a little kid "Gremlins" scared the shizzy out of me.

And I second "Ju-on" for scariest now.

Yeah, I liked The Shining and Ringu and Amityville Horror, too, just like the next nut, and I'm getting some good names to look up next time I'm watching a flick because I haven't seem some of em.

Hands down, though IMHO, is The Exorcist.

Nothing comes close. That movie just messed me up for weeks. I moved all of my furniture out of my room to sleep with my head in the corner, because it is a scientific fact that ghosts do not creep up to you through walls, but they love to hide under beds and behind furniture and sneak up on you with all the lights out or in the shadows, out of the corner of your eye.

I watch The Exorcist a few weeks ago, though, and it was kinda let down. I think that my being like 12 when I watched it made it much more scary.

Faces of Death is messed up too, and it's real. Don't know how to get a copy of it though. It's not scary as it is more disgusting and morbid.

1. Exorcist
2. Ringu (Japanese version)
3. The Amityville Horror (Original)
4. Poltergeist
5. Juon "The Grudge" 1 and 2 (Japanese versions)*

*I had to distinguish between Juon "The Grudge", which are actually 3 and 4 of the Japanese series, as there were two movies made by the same name and story before called Juon "The Curse". So they should really be 1 and 2, but were older, shorter, and not as scary as "The Grudge" incarnations of Juon. Still pretty frightening flicks though.
