Omg it was so horrifying, but to me what was more horrifying was the fact that at the time we were told it was real and I couldn’t stop thinking about the families of the “victims” and how they were ok with having everyone see what happened to them. It was so heartbreaking to see!!! Then the female actress was in a Steak-n-Shake commercial and I was like uhhhh wtf!!??

Would've been nice to see Night of the Living Dead on this list or as an honorable mention that movie was ahead of it's time for three reasons 1- The hero in the story was a black man 2- nobody had ever seen flesh eating zombies (because the zombies in horror films before 1968 were mostly just human beings who were under the control of a voodoo master) and 3- unlike most horror movies where everyone made it out of the haunted house or dark foreboding castle alive in this film nobody not even the hero made it out alive!

I love horror movies, for me 2 really stand out. 1. The original exorcist I saw when I was 10 yrs old horrified me. If I watch it now it just looks silly, but back in 1973 the effects were top notch, and terrifying. 2. The grudge, that movie freaked me out. The way she looked and the gurgling noise she made, also the way she contorted her body. I have trouble even watching that movie today 😮

It's one of my favorite scary movies, like The Hills Have Eyes 2006 and Sinister 2012 and When A Stranger Calls 1979, so many scary moments, from the alarm clock, to the guy in the room with the hammer, to the only two windows of 1408 on the ledge, to the post office scene to his daughter dying in his arms and turning to ashes, so scary and so heartbreaking, Cusack should have gotten an Oscar for his performance.

I can't imagine anything worse/greater than The Exorcist. I saw it in theaters when I was about 12 and it F'D me up😅. I took my then-fiance to see it when they re-released it around 2000. She was 30 at the time and had not seen it and frankly didn't know to much about it. It hit her the same way it hit me after all those years. I told myself then "that's why it will always be the scariest of all time. 😅😮

Yeah, as someone with pretty severe claustrophobia, The Descent scares the shit out of me WAY before the monsters even show up. I can't even watch it, I get physically ill. Especially when the girl gets stuck and starts to panic. Also, Hereditary should be #1. That movie is so fucking uncomfortable and terrifying it actually gives people depression and phobias.
