"I'd say this cloud is Cumulo Nimbus."
"Didn't he discover America?"
"Penfold, shush."
The Ring... I was 11 - couldn't sleep until a week had passed, and I knew I was safe.
shareEvent Horizon was the most scared I've ever been in a movie theater. I remember being positively freaked out even on the way home. Since then I watch most horror movies at home where I am more comfortable. :)
shareFor me, the one that creeped me out the most would have to be The Descent. I cannot predict what my future holds, but one thing I can for sure predict is that I know I will never, ever, go caving, ever!!
The rest are in no particular order:
Ju On
Jaws
The Others
The Changeling(very creepy)
The original Black Christmas
The Blair Witch Project(couldn't go camping or hiking for a couple years after watching that)
I, Madman
Sinister
The original The Thing
Session Nine
Carnival of Souls
The Innkeepers
A Tale of Two Sisters(awesome movie)
The Ring
The Night Walker
Lovely Molly
Those are a few I can name, off the top of my head. If I really sat down and thought about it, there would be quite a list.
You mean they could still be living in a primitive state of neurotic irresponsibility?
Yes.
Jaws was scary.
I thought the '82 The Thing was scarier than the old B&W; but the old one was good. I've seen it twice.
"Maybe it's another dimension. Or, you know, just really deep." --Needy
I have always wondered if anyone else ever saw "Carnival of Souls".
So happy to see you listed it here!
(i still have to close the blinds late at night when i'm home alone... 25 years later!)
Ghost/Gorey stuff doesn't scare me. I tend to be scared by the things that are more possible.
Ils (Them)
The Strangers
Eden Lake
The Shining
Audition
Last House On The Left
Black Christmas (the original)
Spoorloos (The Vanishing)
Most of those are some type of invasion or kidnap movies, which are scary because that can actually happen. Eden Lake is pretty much the vacation from hell. I add The Shining because the feeling of isolation is terrifying. Most of the films that actually scare me are movies based on history. Any story from WWII I get shivers with because I know that horror actually happened. So ghost stories don't scare me as much as the things I know can happen. Anything that could be on Investigation Discovery freaks me out.

Jaws
The Sixth Sense

The Shining
Psycho
The Ring
Blair Witch Project
Well, I'm siding with the majority that have been SCARED (and scarred!) for a long, long time by my choice for scariest movie of ALL TIME...
THE EXORCIST - Really, still the undefeated champion of scary. *Toooo real.*
For something a little more contemporary...
THE DESCENT - I was blown away by how scary this film was. *Truly a classic.*
And, my entry for a personal favorite that scared the puddin' out of me when I saw it as a kid...on a huge drive-in theater screen...which horribly (in a deliciously frightening way!) enhanced the special effects...
THE SKULL (1965) - Peter Cushing, Christopher Lee...and the skull of the Marquis de Sade. *Need I say more?*
