most scariest ever made

The Shining - Numerous
memorable scenes come to
mind, (redrum, all work and
no play, man in the bunny
suit) - but they all add up
to make the scariest movie
of all time.
Silence of the Lambs
- The most visceral fear
comes from one's own mind,
and this one is the king of
the psychological thrillers.
Se7en - So disturbing to
the psyche it has its own
rating category on Reel
Reviews. I wonder if FedEx
would really make that
delivery!
King Kong (1930) -
Despite the flickering gorilla
fur, this one frightened a
whole generation of new
moviegoers.
Psycho - The most
prominent representative of
the genius of Hitchcock.
Janet Leigh's shower scene
is one of the most
frightening scenes ever
filmed for a movie.
The Ring - A ringing
phone scared me for days
after seeing this one. A
clean change of underwear
anyone?
Halloween (1978) - So
scary it spawned no fewer
than 8 direct sequels, not to
mention numerous
acknowledgements in other
Hollywood productions.
Frankenstein (1931) -
Combines a beautifully
simplistic tale with the
potent topic of man vs.
nature to create a horrific
fairy-tale that continues to
mesmerize more than seven
decades after its release
The Hills Have Eyes
(2006) - with the threat
of nuclear disaster and its
effects on humans largely
forgotten, how successful
would a remake featuring
villains mutated by
radioactive fallout play to
today's generation of horror
fans? Well, it worked back
then and it works today.
Carrie (1976) - Mixes
telekinetic powers with our
innate fear of being
ridiculed to create a classic
horror masterpiece.
Bad Ronald (1974) -
An ABC, made-for-TV movie.
The premise alone is the
star of the show and is
guaranteed to keep you
awake for a few nights.
Difficult to watch however,
as it's not yet out on DVD,
but you can pick up a copy
here.
Jaws (1975) - Forced a
whole generation to stay
out of the water. Is it safe
to go back yet?
Night of the Living
Dead (1968) - The Royal
King Father of all zombie
movies. That reminds me, I'm
hungry!
Exorcist (1973) - Made
an entire generation of
filmgoers never order split
pea soup again!
The Birds (1963) - The
film's tagline alone says it
all: "Suspense and Shock
Beyond Anything You Have
Seen or Imagined!" Ooooo,
scary!
The Blair Witch
Project (1999) -
Although it turned out to be
the biggest sham in
filmmaking history, it was
scary nonetheless.
The Changeling
(1980) - I'll never see a
wheelchair the same again!
Friday the 13th
(1980) - Must be scarier
than Halloween because it
spawned more sequels!
Signs (2002) - Crop
circles, Shyamalan and
Aliens, Oh My!
Paranormal Activity
(2007) - Works on the
often overlooked idea that
what you don't see is scarier
than what you do. It’s
scary, and it’s unsettling.
And besides, you’ve been
getting too much restful
sleep lately anyway.
Alien (1979) - Ever
wonder about that
indigestion you get from
time to time?.
The Descent (2005) -
The translucent-skinned
humanoids resemble a
creepy cross between
Gollum, Spock, and Vladislaus
Dracula's naked, flying-
monkey devil-brides
featured in Van Helsing. A
descent into madness in
more ways than one.
The Devil's Rejects
(2005) - Sequel to House
of 1000 Corpses. One of the
few instances of a sequel
surpassing the original. Also
contains some of the best
one-liners in a horror movie.
A Clockwork Orange
(1971) - Many don't
classify it as a horror movie
per se, but it's terrifying
nonetheless. Kubrick's best
movie?
Videodrome (1983) -
Cronenberg horror that
relates the troubles of
society to television. A
visionary?
The Thing a.k.a John
Carpenter's The Thing
(1982) - This remake of
the 1951 original was largely
dismissed by critics and
audiences when it first came
out, probably because
Spielberg's E.T. had just
been released two weeks
prior. A great example of
how characters should be
written in horror movies.
Quarantine (2008) -
Undoubtedly, one-hour
martinizers and upholstery
cleaning companies around
the world will make a
fortune laundering soiled
trousers and wet theater
seats.
Texas Chainsaw
Massacre (1974) - The
1974 Tober Hooper version,
not the 2003 version.
Another film "based on" the
life of Ed Gein.
Wait Until Dark
(1967) - Yes, Audrey
Hepburn can do "scary." A
great example of how to
leave it up to the audience
to unravel the mystery.
Freaks (1932) - Not so
much scary as disturbing.
Ever seen anybody with no
arms or legs roll a cigarette?
The Blob (1958) - When
viewed with a nostalgic
attitude and with one
corner of your mind thinking
back of sitting in the tuck-
and-roll seats of a '57
Chevy parked at the drive-
in theater, The Blob will
endear itself to classic sci-fi
fans more and more each
time it is viewed.
