Vote for The Exorcist The Exorcist 1) The Exorcist

Its the closest thing in movies to seeing real possession in real life (about as scary as you can get), its based on a true story, and the upside down catwalk down the stairs just pushes it up to #1 for me!

BenGessel

it the best movie I ever sean

ramil10

Classical horror films have most scary films bcoz of picture quality like old style, musics and story plotting.

Vote for The Shining The Shining 6) The Shining

This movie has freaky music, directed by one of the biggest horror masters, in a creepy place, with a weird actor. Its just insane! This should be number 1, Alien was perfect, but it was NOT scary. And the exorcist made me laugh of all the things the girl said.

nacholibre4497

Alien was scary. But I have to admit it, this was scarier. It should be number 1. It was the scariest movie ever made.

vmacmil-1

how the hell isn’t this number one? alien is barely scary!

Vote for A Nightmare on Elm Street A Nightmare on Elm Street 7) A Nightmare on Elm Street

I watched this as a kid and I can honestly say this frightened all the fright out of me. No movie has scared me ever since, none! Not a single other one on this list. Honest truth, really some might be gross, some make you jump but A Nightmare on Elm Street is the be-all and end-all

Dania0671

The birth of being afraid to fall asleep. A Nightmare on Elm Street attacks you from all directions. What ever you do... don’t fall asleep.


Vote for Stay Alive Stay Alive 8) Stay Alive

This movie, I can’t even say it. It is so scary that this thing gave me nightmares for almost a year. One night I even thought I saw that creepy old lady coming at me with a blade and trying to kill me. This by no means is by far the scariest movie of all time.


Vote for The Omen The Omen 9) The Omen

What is scarier then the devil’s child?

Revan

true classic horror


Vote for Copycat Copycat 10) Copycat

corebare32

C’mon people. Of course, some movies right now are pretty thrilling, but Jaws was the movie that got millions of people out of the water. With that reaction, how can it not be in the top ten
