The Scariest Movie of All Time

I don't really get scared by movies anymore, which is kind of a bummer, but I thought The Others with Nicole Kidman and 6th Sense were both spooky in a more "chilling" kind of way.

I highly reccomend The Changeling. No swanky special efffects, just good acting, direction, and production. Very scary.

For something a bit newer, The Ring is an excellent choice.

The original Exorcist messed me up.

Another scary one was not a movie, but an episode of the X-Files. The one with that "Toombs" character that would slither through vents and such and eat people's livers. For about two or three days I slept with the lights on and avoided heat registers and such.

"Deliverance"

Mark, I agree with Fallen, great movie!!

I thought 'Wolf Creek' was pretty scary, but then I watched it (stupidly) while I was traveling around Australia in exactly the area it was set. :cry:

Another weird one was 'Signs' with Mel Gibson. Not gory at all but I found it intensely creepy when you first see the 'alien' on the grainy news footage, and also when Mel first sees a shadowy figure on his rooftop. That movie gave me several 'cold shiver' moments.

i'll still probably watch it at some point just to see how bad it is

If it's this one ( http://www.beowulfandgrendel.com/ ) it's actually pretty good. Sarah Polly doesn't quite fit the cast, but she's not supposed to. Artistic License is implied to be an active participant in the tale. I give it two thumbs up, but I'm an odd one.

Scary, scary, huh?
Dead Ringers makes me squirm. Cronenberg's a genius, isn't he?
Exorcist and Ring are both really good pics though.

Jaws, I grew up in Fl. Part of the film was made near were I lived. My sister and some of her friends got to be extras. I wouldn't go near the water for a while.

The latest remake of the amittyville horror was pretty decent. If you liked the exorcist then you will like the exorcism of emily rose. It's scarry because it's based on a true story.

I'm with Justin on the original Alien movie. I've seen it dozens of times at home on VHS & DVD. We saw it at a special re-release on the big screen a couple of years ago, and even though I knew what was coming the screen, the darkness, the quality sound system still made me jump.
