[Avante]

I always get....just a movie.....with one exception...The Exorcist. No movie ever made that kind of impact on me. Totally ruined my well being for weeks.

I saw it the weekend it came out at the theater, have never and will never watch it again.

That is the one and only scarey movie, the others....nay~~~

[SpursforSix]

Good thread.

This isn't any order. May fix it later.

The Shining
Burnt Offerings
Conjuring
Sinister
Blair Witch Project
Exorcist
Fire in the Sky
Prince of Darkness
Fourth Kind
Rosemarys Baby

[Chucho]

Really good thread. I dunno if I can crank out ten tbh. I saw the Exorcist as a small child and then 20 years later and it didn't age well to me then, altho I can respect it's place in cinema history.

Definitely Conjuring. Best horror movie of the century thus far, hands down.

Insidious was great...

The Shining

I guess it depends onnwhaf scares you. The first Scream and Halloween movies scared me, so did Child's Play 2.

ha very true. There is the exorcist and then everything else. The shining, poltergeist, halloweens & friday the 13s were more entertaining than giving me the creeps

[lebomb]

The shining
Poltergeist
Conjuring
The thing
Texas chainsaw massacre
The fly
Eraserhead
Alien/Aliens
Pumpkinhead
Jaws


............ in no particular order. I just know these movies freaked me out a bid. Not all are necessarily scary.

[lebomb]

Deliverance
Jacob's Ladder

Absolute worst movie ever. I left the theater like "WTF" was that all about. Still confuses me.

[Darth_Pelican]

The Exorcist
The Shining
Poltergeist
Blair Witch Project (the birth of the found footage genre which has since been ruined)
The Conjuring
The Silence of The Lambs
Sinister
Cape Fear
The Ring
Alien

[lebomb]

I saw Jaws when I was about 7-8yrs old. I had a hard time taking a bath afterwards. I thought Jaws was in the plumbing I guess.

Man...the Shining gave me the creeps. Maybe not the whole movie but a few scenes for sure. Particularly the one with the twins in the hallway.

[benefactor]

No order

The Thing
The Fog
Poltergeist
The Exorcist
Candyman
The Shining

Some of these haven't held up over time, but at different times in my life they all scared the out of me at one point or another.

[lebomb]

The Fog

Sleeper movie........this was a really good flick.

[timtonymanu]

Off the top of my head:

Halloween
Insidious
When A Stranger Calls
The Innocents
Henry

[SpursforSix]

I almost included the Ring. Not a great story but those videos were creepy as .

[SpursforSix]

Speaking of Blair Witch. About a month before it came out, there was a "do entary" on TV about the story. It was scarier than the actual movie.

Ha me too! There was another jewel that's underrated with that chick from Dexter. She's a reporter in a firehouse. I remember that was pretty creepy but I forget the name.

Ha that's it!! I was too lazy

[chunticakes]

In no particular order:

28 Days Later
The Grudge
The Blair Witch Project
Paranormal Activity
The Ring
The Descent
The Fourth Kind
The Conjuring
The Strangers
Sinister

[chunticakes]

Another one I forgot to mention: The Woman In Black.

And it's not that they're terribly frightening or anything, just that at some point these movies made me feel a little uneasy for some reason.

[pookenstein]

Sister Act. Whoopi Goldberg in a tight Dress is as scary as it gets.

[The Gemini Method]

In no particular order:

The Fog
Texas Chainsaw Massacre
Wrong Turn
The Boogeyman
raiser
Phantasm
IT (2017)
Phantasm
Halloween
Serpent and the Rainbow (Vodoo was pretty scary)

[JMarkJohns]

Some good ones already named. A few more:

The Hills Have Eyes (original)
Rosemary’s Baby
Fire Walk With Me
The Descent
The VVitch

I’m all about dread and terror, not just gore. These five plus the classics like The Exorcist, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, The Shining, The Thing, all fit that bill.

Edit: Several already mentioned Rosemary’s Baby and The Descent.

Surprised nobody has mentioned The VVitch. I found it pretty unsettling in that way you get the creeps from a movie. Great cast. Strong visuals. The religious paranoia and fallout amongst the children was almost disturbing. Based on folklore of colonial times.
