  Any other fans of this movie? I remember watching it when I was a kid and being completely freaked out! The link is to the full movie if anyone wants to watch.

  I saw this movie at the drive in with my sister and her boyfriend. He went to extreme measures to scare the crap out of me. It still scares me.

  The scariest movie - top of the list. Definitely fits the genre.
  
  slice and dice = not scary
  supernatural and evil = scary

  I think this is the scariest movie of all time. . . Father Merrin is a legit Bad Ass.

  haha! Never heard Father Merrin put in that context before!!

  Definitely one of the scariest movies of all time. I agree with someone else who said supernatural and evil movies are much more scary than the slice and dice films. To me, the scariest movies are this, The Shining and the original Children of the Corn (although I think slice and dice films like the original Halloween and the orginal Nightmare on Elm Street were pretty damn scary).

  One of the best

  Little Danny, good call on Children of the Corn.

  Was older when I finally saw the Exorcist....I remember Aliens and Friday the 13th giving me trouble sleeping.
  
  Been a long time since any horror film really put a decent scare into me, but one I thought was excellent was Darkness Falls. That movie was legitimately freaky and creepy.

  Ahh the movie about the Tooth Fairy, that shit was nuts.

  Exorcist is the scariest shit ever. I trace all my adulthood fears back to my first viewing of it.

  i haven't seen it since i was a kid (easily 15 years ago) but the movie "dark night of scarecrow" was just scary as hell when i was 10. I'd love to see it again.

  I must be the only one that was not freaked out by this one. I didn't think it was scary at all....maybe it is because I was older when I watched it. For some odd reason, Candyman is the only movie that has ever freaked me out.
• Trueblue23

  

  The 1912 masterpiece "Nosferatu" is a scary one as well.

  Speaking of this topic....last night I couldn't sleep, so I flipped on Showtime and noticed a comedy/horror movie on called The ONE EYED MONSTER. It is starring Ron Jeremy and it is about his penis killing a group of stranded porn stars...lol. It was not soft core porn.....it was an actual movie. In fact, it may well be......the greatest movie ever made.

  ^^^ NICE!
  
  Those small, low budget horror movies are usually the best.
• Heretic

  

  Candyman was one of the last movies that scared me. Then again, I haven't really tried to find a legit scary one recently. I tend to watch low-budget B stuff a lot for the lulz (watching Jake Busey try to act in this haunted prison movie I have on my 360 = five-star entertainment) and when I rent a name movie, they tend to either have potential, but fall short (that Darkness movie with Anna Paquin) or just suck (White Noise)

  It sounds really gay, but "Midnight Meat Train" is pretty damn good.

  Think that's based off a Clive Barker story. He had a period where the movies based off his stuff tended to be sweet. Hellraiser, Candyman, Lord of Illusions, the one I can't remember the name of, but it was about a guy who became part of an underground community of monsters and turned into their leader and killed a psycho evil psychatrist played by David Cronenberg....all those were very great.
• killdeer

  

  I remember this probably low budget 1970's era thriller with Bette Davis among others I think..."Burnt Offerings" maybe...anyway, it had this freakishly tall grinning chauffer guy that drove around in this hearse...nobody could seem to escape from this country estate...really gave me the creeps when I was a kid, and I have randomly stumbled upon it now and then since....
  Anybody else remember this one?
• Krugliack

  "The Changeling" with George C. Scott is a very creepy movie without the blood bath. I'd highly recommend it if you've never seen it. There's a scene where he throws a ball in the river and when he gets home it comes bouncing down the stairs at him and its pitch black at the top of the stairs. The wheelchair scene is indeed very creepy.
