Halloween (The Original)I think the original Halloween is super scary I first saw it when I was 17 at the movie theater and every Halloween I always watch it.
Dana Loy
The Omen
A child being that evil is really creepy.
tied with The Shining
Here's Johnny!
Aaron Nolan
Whatever Happened to Baby Jane
It's a pure psycho-thriller. It was scary the first time I watched it,the second time and the last time. there's no whirring buzz saws or muzzled serial killers, it comes at you on a whole different level-- the movie doesn't get in your face and scare you, it gets in your head and terrifies you.
Bob Clausen
The Shining
I was up later than I was supposed to be and accidently saw a preview of The Shining. From that time on as a child the thing I was most afraid of was Jack Nicholson coming out from under my bed with an ax. I did see the whole movie as an adult and I still don't think any other movie comes close. If you really want to creep me out just come up behind me and say "redrum."
Elizabeth McGuire
The Others
I will not wear a veil in my wedding because of the scene with the girl in the white dress that when unveiled appears as an old woman.
In the Mouth of Madness
The scene where the lead character is driving, he turns his head to look at an old man going by on a bicyle then turns around to find that the man is right in front of his and he is about to hit him made me jump out of my seat.
Vernon Crowder
The Exorcist
It is just creepy.
Jonathan Wilson
Aliens
Those Aliens are taking over. I could go on and on about this movie.
Steve Roberson
The Shining
Dark and intense movie, the most frightining thing I have ever seen.
Chris McGuire
Halloween (The Original)
That mask is what gets me.
Allison
Texas Chainsaw Massacre (the original)
This movie scared the hell out of me when I was a child. It's shot in this documentary home grainy cam style that gives it the feel of a snuff film. I didn't realize this movie was based on the murders of Ed Gein until much later, which made it even creepier (Pyscho was the other Ed Gein based film). How many times can you watch the silhouette of a person being tossed on a meat-hook before you start having nightmares about it? Once. That's all it takes.
Salem Jamell
The Exorcist
Ben
The Silence of the Lambs
Even though I know this particular story is fiction the reality that there are people out there similar to Hannibal Lecter gets to me.
Rob
The Shining
Cecillea Pond-Mayo
The Exorcist
The music alone does it for me.
Tom Yazwinski
The Birds
Birds are everywhere. They could always just swoop down.
Rick
The Exorcist
Matt Mosler
A Clockwork Orange
Insane movie.
Michael Joiner
The Shining
This movie sticks with you.
Kim Pearson
Candyman
I snuck into this movie when I was quite young and I did not want to be anywhere alone for weeks.
Kim Dunn
The Shining
"Redrum"
Ross Cook
Rosemary's Baby
It's gross and creepy.
Kelley Easby-Smith
Jaws
It made me scared to go in the water.
John Franks
Texas Chainsaw Massacre(original)
It freaked me out.
Allison Morrison
Rear Window
When Jimmy Stewart and Grace Kelly's characters are in jeopardy you really feel for them.
Barry Todd
Psycho
The murder scene
Dave Woodman
Stephen King's The Shining (mini series)
Jessica Franklin
Psycho
The whole premise of keeping the dead mother.
Nancy Beazer
The Green Slime
I was very young when I saw it and it scared the heck out of me.
John Beazer
The Omen
The fact that it was not special effects ridden. It was the story that scared people.

Richard Hill

Because you don't anticipate what is going to happen and what the dead people look like.

Devil's Advocate

Willy Wonka and The Chocolate Factory
Those oompa loompas are scary.

Barbara Dunn
American Werewolf in London
Tony Daniels
Darkness Falls
She gets you in the dark.
Karen Mellon

It was absolutely terrifying when I was a child but I could hardly wait for it to come on television.

It deals with real animals.
