Scariest Movies Of All Time

Ok, since All Hallows Eve Is Here, I thought it would be fun to make a list of my favortie scary movies...

These are in no order....

 THE EXORCIST (1973) Directed by William Friedkin

A cat unexpectedly jumping from off camera is scary. But The Exorcist is so disturbing it will mess you up for months. Controversial and profane, The Exorcist
remains the most viscerally harrowing movie ever made, not only because
it dares to question the existence of God but because it has the balls 
to put Satan in the body of a 12-year-old girl. Moviegoers literally
fainted as Linda Blair vomited pea soup on a priest. And after a series
of mishaps, Friedkin asked a clergyman to perform an exorcism of the
set.

 THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE (1974) Directed by Tobe Hooper

Based (like much of Psycho) on the horrific ritual murders committed by Ed Gein, Chainsaw
looks, feels, and smells so much like a grainy, low-budget documentary
that it borders on snuff. It opens with a sober-voiced narrator detailing a heinous killing spree. Then we see
the split-second flashbulb pops of crime-scene carnage before finally
meeting Leatherface — a homicidal lunatic wearing a butcher's apron and
a mask stitched out of human skin.

 POLTERGEIST (1982) Directed by Tobe Hooper

 This  haunted house was a
piece of the American dream literally built on a corrupt foundation, a
graveyard full of unsettled ghosts. Even the film's most benign
elements — the toys in the closet, blond moppet Carol Ann (Heather
O'Rourke), and kindly medium Tangina Barrons (Zelda Rubinstein).. "Step Into The Light, All Are Welcome.. All Are Welcome...."

 A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET (1984) Directed by Wes Craven

 ''One, two, Freddy's coming for you...''
irrevocably
changed the way we feel about playground chants.

THE OMEN (1976) Directed by Richard Donner

Damien  the tiny Antichrist with the 666 devil sign on his
scalp — maniacally pedaling his tricycle and knocking Lee Remick over
the second-floor railing to the menacing strains of ''Ave Satani.''

Suspiria (1977) Directed By  Dario Argento

"the most vicious murder scene ever filmed."
