I could see arguments for maybe half of those, Alien and Thing would def be on my list. I'm not even sure what I would say my Top 5 "scariest" movies were...

Half those movies aren't scary at all. Want to see a really scary movie? Go watch Brazilian Star Wars.

For their times, Psycho and The Exorcist are probably the 2 scariest I can think of. People use to puke in the eisles when her head spun around.

post by reimroc at Jan 28,2011 9:59pm

Yea that was back then. Don't get me wrong though The Exorcist is still a very good and fairly disturbing movie. I've been so desensitized by the internet and viewings of bad Italian sequelsploitation movies that the only movie that really still urks me is Salo aka 180 Days of Sodom.

Evil dead 2 is funny, not scary

"of all time" and the oldest top 10 movie is from 1978 ... and 3 of the top 10 are from 1978??

Audition wasn't scary, it was just weird

I can't take this list seriously without The Exorcist being absent from the top ten.

post by BlackoutRick at Jan 28,2011 11:48pm

Seriously? Evil Dead 2?!?! No Shining?!?! I think Blair Witch should be there.

post by IllinoisEnemaBradness at Jan 29,2011 8:45am

post by AndrewBastard at Jan 29,2011 3:34pm

post by AndrewBastard at Jan 29,2011 3:35pm

post by noremorse at Jan 29,2011 6:47pm

post by Blessed Offal at Jan 29,2011 8:10pm

this list is as useless as an american in a non-english speaking country.

post by Alexecutioner at Jan 29,2011 8:53pm

JU-ON?!!! NUMBER TWO?

I thought it was well done but no where near appropriate for a number 4 on anyones scary movie list.
It just might be my distaste for "boo factor" horror movies.

post by Yeti at Jan 31,2011 10:39am

whoa whoa wait....Blair Witch 2 is number 48? did they even watch it? that is one of the worst pieces of shit that i've ever seen. So unbelievably stupid and bad that i actually like it.

They probably gave "The Rite" a good review. Some people just love the taste of shit.
