American Psycho. Christian Bale is absolute perfection. It's gory but manages to get under your skin & psyche. Exorcist is a classic & will always be. I really appreciate how that movie was done & always find it interesting that although based on a true story Bechley & the directors had to done it down instead of exxagerating it for the movie to earn an R. The Entity is another good one.

I don't know about the scariest movie ever, films don't really bother me, but the last one to stay in my head long after I saw it was "The Mist."  Not so much the film itself, which was an awesome take on Kings story, which I first read back in middle school.  More so the ending.  I won't spoil anything, but it'll leave you talking.  Very cold, very brutal.

Exorcist

I think its called "The hills have eyes" and yes, its scary!

Yeah needs, I got it right away.... I hate that squeeshy s**t movie.... really....

Thanks Moloch, i tought i managed to dry up the internet of scary movies. Sorry about the pun - can't be helped!) *suck* 

Scariest movie ever must be The Grudge 2004. It was originally in Japanese. I was totally freaked out - and it takes a LOT to freak me out ( i'm an ICU nurse  )

The original Japanese version is called Ju-on.  I thought that was far scarier then the grudge.  well unless you consider Sarah Michelle Gellers acting ability.  That's scary

 Bleh... no such thing as a scary movie!! They just aren't made anymore.

Agreed. Some can be creepy though. I saw the Happening the other night. For M. Knight Shamaylan it wasn't that bad (finally) Actually had a creepy feel to it some of the time. I'd watch it again.

 I'm still waiting to be 'creeped' out. It just doesn't happen. There's one movie that's done it, but that's only because of my own... hmm... demons. It was too close to what happened to me and I .. well... totally blacked out while still walking and breathing.


 So... If any movie-makers happen across this.. STOP BEING SUCH PUSSIES AND MAKE A CREEPY MOVIE DAMMIT!!!!!

I have several answers..

1408 because the woman jumping out the window, over and over...can you imagine reliving a suicide over and over? that would fit MY concept of hell if I was sure there was one...

the ring...even though I know the subliminals are what caused my discomfort, I felt my insides crawling up...

the incubus...just plain nightmarish

and the mist...because the end seems so much like something I would do.

The original Planet of the Apes has always managed to scare the begeepers out of me. Not the remake though.

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre always had an impact on me too, maybe just because it was the first horror movie I ever saw. I think I was 11 or 12.

Dario Argentos Susparia gave me pleasent screams

Susperia is a classic that will never be duplicated. It scared the daylights out of me even though I watched it in the middle of the day.

I hear theres plans for a remake. i hope it doesnt actually get done. i dont want a remake of susperia.

Dario Argentos Susparia gave me pleasent screams

Argento and Fulci made some stonking films, but I never find them scary. For pure shivers down the spine Freaks by the late great Tod Browning, made in 1932. The taking down of Cleopatra and Hercules still scares me.

Talking of really old films, The Face at the Window is a bit "YIKES!" (Tod Slaughter, brilliant) and of course Lon Chaney's performance in the 1925 classic, Phantom of the Opera chills the bones. I can't think of a truly scary modern film though, however, I have yet to see Martyrs (as featured on the cover of Fangoria #281). But that's coming this weekend
