List of the 50 scariest movies of all time

[Duffy Pratt]

Psycho and The Birds by Hitchcock
Repulsion and The Tenant by Polanski
Nosferatu by FW Murnau and its remake by Werner Herzog
Aguirre Wrath of God also by Herzog

Hell, Carrie is scarier than a bunch of the things on this list, and it pretty much sucks.

Um, where's "Cujo" and "Night of the Hunter"?'

Oh, and "Idiocracy" is pretty scary too.

The Exorcist is my all times favorite. I never got scared by any movies. I love horror. My first horror movie when I was 5 years old (yup no kidding), my dad took me to theater to see The Exorcist and when I was three, watching.....i noticed some people screamed and ran out of the movie. It was pretty funny. Of course my mom got mad at my dad that I watched that movie at my age. Ever since then I just love watching horror movie. I love all Saw series! :D Also, I am HUGE fan of Stephen King books! He rulz!!

Something Wicked This Way Comes

This movie was pretty scary too.

Not sure if you would class this one as "scary" or just over the top suspense, but I remember the original "Hitcher" as being one of the most soul draining suspense movies that I have ever seen. I was on the edge of my seat the entire time. Rutger Hauer and C Thomas Howell had such an amazingly perverse relationship in that movie.

"Prince of Darkness" 1987.. yeah, it's color.. but it's creepy scary (or was when I first saw it)

BTW- The THING is one of my all time faves. As are GI JOES, so I was pretty stoked when I found this:

Pretty neat video! I too was a big fan of THE THING, not sure how much now - been years since I saw it.

The original with James Arness or the Johnny-come-lately with Kurt Russell?......Ben

Ben, I first saw the Kurt Russell version. I later went back and watched the original. I suppose I would have enjoyed the original more if I'd not seen the remake first, but as it was the plant-Thing was no match for the shape-changer Thing as far as scaring me. Thinking about it, I believe it's for the same reason that the Invasion of the Body Snatchers concept (not a particular film version) is scary to me- a totally inhuman and unfeeling force can take over someone you know, and you don't know until it's (almost?) too late...
