Answer 1

I would say the scariest movies ever are:

1) The Shining (1980)

2) Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974)

3) The Exorcist (1973)

4) Rosemary's Baby (1968)

5) Night of the Living Dead (1968)



There's something about a lot of late 60's & 70's horror movies that I find genuinely scary. The scariest films I've seen in the last couple of years is A Tale of Two Sisters.









Not all of these are scary, but here's my top 100 horror movies list:



my top 5

1) The Shining (the 1980 original)

2) Rosemary's Baby

3) The Haunting (the 1963 original)

Answer 2

Watch a Spanish horror film called [REC]. The movie Quarantine was based off the Spanish version. It's pretty damn creepy and kept me up for days. The Scream trilogy is a good one, it's not scary, but has some good suspense and some thrills, and clever twists.
