The Shining - Numerous memorable scenes come to mind, (redrum, all work and no play, man in the bunny suit) - but they all add up to make the scariest movie of all time,,I dunno.
Silence of the Lambs - The most visceral fear comes from one's own mind, and this one is the king of the psychological thrillers. Hannibal is still the man.
Se7en - So disturbing to the psyche it has its own rating category on Reel Reviews. I wonder if FedEx would really make that delivery!<laughs/>
Psycho - The most prominent representative of the genius of Hitchcock. Janet Leigh's shower scene WAS one of the most frightening scenes ever filmed for a movie.
The Ring - A ringing phone scared m,any for days after seeing this one.
Halloween (1978) - So scary it kicked off fewer than 8 sequels, not to mention numerous acknowledgements in other Hollywood productions.
The Hills Have Eyes (2006) - with the threat of nuclear disaster and its effects on humans largely forgotten, how successful would a remake featuring villains mutated by radioactive fallout play to today's generation of horror fans?
Carrie (1976) - Mixes telekinetic powers with our innate fear of being ridiculed to create a classic horror masterpiece.
BUT THINK ABOUT THIS!!.
Jaws (1975) - Forced a whole generation to stay out of the water. SERIOUSLY!
When I was a young kid, I was with 4 buddies swimming off the east coast.
(I live in Jersey) {DUH}
Well, something bit my big toe! (I still have a split in the toenail that won’t grow out)I swear, ALL 4 of my tough azz friends hit the sand like torpedoes!!! I didn’t see their hand or arms move once!! AND I kid you not! Because I yellped, everyone else within earshot quickly, but gracefully, hit the beachhead like marines!
WHY?
Jaws was released that year!!!
