Alien (1979)

Frankly, I was hoping for a more creative or imaginative choice for the #1 spot. Like even a Phantasm (1979) which they have at #8. And The Omen (1976) at #24? :shrug: I think it deserves to be higher. And where's Psycho? WTF makes these lists? :banghead:

[HopeHoops]

1. "Last House on the Left" (the original)

Mostly because it is closely based on a real story.

2. Classic

but didn't make the top fifty...

[no_hypocrisy]

3. I remember LHOTL rated "V for violence".

My parents wouldn't let me go watch it.

4. Candyman

is # 1 for me. Scared the crap out of me.

[Swede]

5. The Messiah of Evil was pretty disturbing.

I like the lovecraftian horror of it.

[pokerfan]

6. Haven't seen it

I Will look for it.

It is considered by many horror critics to be one of the earliest "Nightmare" films, meaning that it portrays many dream-like, psychedelic scenes in an eerie, unsettling atmosphere. (wiki)

[Skittles]

7. The Haunting (1963)

[kentauros]

10. Absolutely!

Most of the scares in that movie are left up to your imagination. I feel sorry for those today that expect "their" imagination to be spoon-fed to them by someone with one.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

8. Prince of Darkness.

It was kind of cheesy but it scared the crap out of me.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

9. The Exorcist and An American Crime.

[kentauros]

11. Other than "The Haunting" (1963 version),

my vote would also include "Jacob's Ladder".

[av8rdave]

12. I love that film

I'll never forget the first time I saw it. I was on an airline trip, New York City layover. I got to the room early afternoon. I flipped on the TV, looking for CNN so I could catch up on the news while I changed to go out for lunch.

As I flipped through the channels, I ran across HBO, and Jacob's Ladder was just starting.

Next thing I knew, the ending credits were rolling, and I was still sitting on the edge of the bed in my uniform, mouth agape. I think I even still had my hat on!

[kentauros]

13. I knew it was compelling, but...

Thanks for the laugh about still having your hat on at the end! :rofl: :hi:

[azul]

14. The Last Wave. Wowed me.

And The Crawling Eye was creepy enough to make this list too.

[wysimdnwyg]

15. Any list without The Changeling is flawed

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0080516/

The best little-known horror film of all time.

[raccoon]

16. The Blair Witch Project. nt

[Barbed Wire]

17. Bedtime for Bonzo

The scariest movie of all time was Bedtime for Bonzo. Enough said.
