A pretty played-out genre. I think i have a good case of child abuse against my parents for them letting me see Alien (1979) at a young age.

Check out Bloodsucking Creeps (1976), you won't know whether to laugh or cry. I saw the little midget dude in that movie in a porn clip, standing on a stool giving it to this biker chick from behind. He falls off the stool at one point. Background music was ZZ Top, Tube Steak Boogie.

What about "The Omen"?-

I can't believe no one yet has gone for the "Showgirls... absolutely terrifying" line.

In reality, I enjoy The Exorcist. Nothing better than a good ol' battle of good vs evil.

Poltergeist 1, 2, and 3 all scared me with various scenes when I was younger. The clown, men dressed as quakers, braces growing uncontrollably and possibly going into electrical outlets, and mirrors mirrors mirrors.

Perhaps the scariest as a child was Salem's Lot. I could never sleep with a window that wasn't covered because of that stupid boy vampire tap tap tapping on his friend's window. "Open the window, Mark!"

I would have to recommend "Wait Until Dark" starring Audrey Hepburn. It's old, from 1967, but it is really suspenseful. It's not your typical horror movie, but it's a classic and excellent for those midnight scary-movie marathon nights.

According to this, the film ranked tenth on Bravo's 100 Scariest Movie Moments: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wait_Until_Dark

Excorcist gives me nightmares to this day. I've watched it couple times duing the 15 yr old period with couple years in between. I tell myself, "I'm a grown woman now, and it shouldn't scare me anymore." But then I'm wrong, just the thought of Linda Blair's face gives me the shivvers. I can't even sleep if I flip through the channels and see the preview for the movie or the movie itself.

The Ring gave me nightmares for months. I was on a date years ago and I was so scared, I didn't want to go home and sleep alone. I would've just went home if I wasn't so frightened but I needed to be with someone that night. Then to make things worse, I went to his loft and he gave me a tour of it. It used to be a warehouse in the early 1900's and supposedly some people say parts of it is haunted. So I was really paranoid and scared that night even with a guy around.

As for funny horrors, I love the Chucky series or Child's Play. My fav. one is Bride of Chucky and Child's Play 2 when he's at the doll factory. The funniest part of Bride of Chucky is when Stephanie wakes up as the doll and screaming at the top of her lungs, and says something to Chucky that he is no gi joe, and he's like "well you aren't exactly barbie either." I loved how she smacked him so hard in the face. It was so funny. I have yet to see Seed of Chucky.

Some the most disturbing movies I've seen are Japanese. I don't where they come up with the stuff, but some of it is really mental...
A few off the top of my head (besides "Ring" and "The Grudge", which everyone knows)

1) "Audition" (by Miike Takashi) - really messed up... similar to Steven King's "Misery"
2) "Cure" (by Kurosawa Kiyoshi)
3) "Imprint" (another by Miike Takashi, from the Masters of Horror series)
4) The "Guinea Pig" series (from the 80's)

Miike Takashi's "Gozu" is not scary per se, but really weird... it's a terrific movie though (like all of his movies).

Tale of two sisters scared the bejeepers out of me.
The Others (Nicole Kidman)
Fallen (Denzel Washington)

I can't remember the name of it, but I'd be stoked if somebody else knows it.
It's an old british flick, probably 1970's. I saw it back in the '80's when I was a kid and I'm pretty sure it was really scary. Here's the plot:
A happy family with two little kids is in their cottage on some dark stormy moor. A knock at the door: why, how strange! It's a very pregnant spooky looking hippy chick. She is admitted into their house, she pops out her baby, and in the morning, is gone. The baby remains.
They adopt it and it grows up into a cute little devil toddler who kills their other kids, or at least one of them, and causes the mother to go nuts and the dad to attempt murder (on the little blonde demon spawn thingie). At the very end of the movie, I think dad is being marched off to jail or something, and he sees--on the other side of the playground or wherever they are--the SAME SPOOKY HIPPY CHICK, again very pregnant, making friends with a happy young couple with two kids.
Spoooooky.
I really can't remember the name of it though. I think it's named after whatever bird it is that lays an egg in another birds nest and then splits, leaving its vile offspring to hatch and then push the other chicks out, thus getting all the worms it can possibly eat from the poor dumb bird whose nest it is.

Ditto on Audition...that movie freaked me out.

In terms of horror films, I'd have to go with the 2004 remake of "Dawn of the Dead"...that movie just flat-out rocks. Great cast, make-up, effects, etc. The plot is simple of course, but the delivery is fantastic.

[Ryst Helmut]

Tale of Two Sisters scary? An awkward/creepy movie, but not really scary.

Dawn of the Dead remake was brilliant: wife and I were so freaked out about it that we missed our highway exit due to chatting away about it.

Wolf Creek: based on a true story and my wife spazzzzzzzzed whilst watching it.

Susperia: Funny scary

Jaws (I lived by the beach...need I explain)?

Friday the 13th (so stupid it's scary...the kind where you motion and yell at the actor to run/pay attention).

Saw I: sweet flick

I've other choices...but will have to look at my collection to remember them.

!shoosh,
