The Exorcist would be my #1. Movies that didn't make the list that I would consider:

 

"Black Sabbath"

"The Grudge"

"The Birds"

"Hostel"

 

I thought Hostel was flat out awful, and disgusting. Not good at all.

 

The Saw movies are great though IMO.

31. The Ring (2002)-I remember it was scary but otherwise I found it very forgettable

22. Scream (1996)-Maybe because it was in my era but I really enjoyed this one. The Scream costume still gets scares in a creepy way.

21. Friday the 13th (1980)-I'm sure this one is sentimental to many as one of the core slasher films and it clearly belongs on the list but the theme was done better with Micheal Myers.

20. Dracula (1931)-I haven't seen this version but I actually did like the more recently done Bram Stokers Dracula unlike many others.

18. Carrie (1976)-I know I have seen this but it didn't leave much of an impact.

16. Night of the Living Dead (1968)-It deserves to make the list for starting the zombie culture, and holds up a little bit but not so much as to make a modern horror buff shriek.

15. The Blair Witch Project (1999)-I really liked this, I understand why many don't but I think it deserved the attention it got.

13. A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984)-Overrated, sorry.

11. Frailty (2002)-I was surprised to see this one on here but I'm glad it was. Great movie, looking at childhood, brotherhood, and the danger of extreme faith.

10. 28 Days Later (2002)- Probably my favorite zombie movie.

8. Dawn of the Dead (1978)-Isn't there a recent remake of this one? If so I've seen the remake, it had a good beginning but dulled through the film.

6. The Sixth Sense (1999)- I think I'm the only person who hasn't seen this movie

5. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974)- Good and scary

4. The Shining (1980)- Good, but not that good, and yes I do get it.

3. Psycho (1960)- I know it inspired so much in horror and psychological horror/thrillers but to be honest it doesn't hold up.

2. The Exorcist (1973)- Great movie. I visited Baltimore this last summer and rented a house in a neighborhood similar to the one in the movie. I couldn't stop thinking about the movie.

1. Halloween (1978)- Easily the best slasher movie.

 

Others that I have enjoyed. Saw, Children of the Corn, Vacancy (you must watch this if you have ever stayed at a road side motel) Dusk til Dawn, Interview with the Vampire, Candyman (I still refuse to say Candyman to the mirror.)

I've seen the Exorcist once. That's all I needed to see in order to buy into the title of scariest movie of all time. A Nightmare on Elm Street is another one. Although I can watch that multiple times, its still gets me on the scare factor. True Classic.

 

Yea man The Exorcist is My Most scariest movie of all time...:scared:

Was The Descent actually a good movie? It's very rare I see any new horror movies simply because the majority of them suck so bad.

 

I thought that was actually a really good movie. I liked it enough to buy it. It wasn't overly frightening or anything like that, but it was well-done with solid acting.

The Hitcher is another really good movie, the original with Rutger Hauer. Maybe not technically a horror film, definitely not a slasher film, but scary and suspenseful nonetheless.

 

I watched the new version of "The Hitcher" and it was awful.
