What are some (truly) scary movies?

Question

I'm looking for some movies that are actually scary to an adult. What are some scary ones? I've added some of my taste just so you can see what I like.

Movies that scared me:

Paranormal Activity
Mothman Prophecies (not horror, I know, but still creepy)

Movies that are NOT scary:

Ring
Saw
The Orphanage
Drag me to Hell
Insidious

As you can see I don't scare easily, but I REALLLY want to see a scary movie.

Answer 1

The Tunnel

Audition

Cannibal Holocaust

Session 9

Inside

Answer 2

I would saw 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 60's & 70's horror movies that I find genuinely scary.





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