[...] If you’ve been reading Screen Rant for any amount of time, you’re probably aware that I’m a HUGE fan of Neil Marshall’s modern horror masterpiece, The Descent, from back in 2005 (although for some reason it didn’t hit U.S. theaters until Fall 2006). To me, it was the most effective horror film I’d seen in years, and my personal favorite since The Shining (it featured at number 1 on my list of the “Top 5 Movies That Scared the Hell Out of Me”).

Saw a vampire movie when I was 10 – didnt sleep properly for 6 months. My older sister came towards me in the back yard one night, with a dressing gown over her head, arms out and hissing. I fell over, nearly fainted, then grabbed a shovel and came close to knocking her head off, at which point she revealed her true (and very scary) self. I think the movie was “Vampire Lovers”. I seem to remember signifcant cleavage being shown as well.

This is a tough list there are plenty of good scares or great moments. So like many I have to define my movies by a fear or dread that lasted days and by whether I am still spooked at the prospect of watching them again. In no particular order:

The Exorcist
Hellraiser
In The Mouth Of Madness
Night Of The Living Dead
The Ring

Anyone remeber Prince Of Darkness by John Carpenter? That movie is creepy and gets an honerable mention in my book.

@John “Kahless” Taylor

I am glad to know that others find the TV “Salem’s Lot” from the 70s scary. I was probably 6 or 7 years old when I walked into my dad’s studio (he was an artist) and he had it on a little black and white TV in there while he was working on a painting.

It was the “Look at me, teacher.” scene. It gave me nightmares for like a week. My dad rushed me out of the room when he saw me in the doorway. I didn’t see the film in its entirety until high school. I now own it and it is a favorite.

It still scares the CRAP out of me to this day. And I am 25.

Notice that, understandably, The Exorcist is on most people’s list. Well I certainly recommend the book by William Peter Blatty. Absolutely terrifying. I’ve read all my books at least three times, bar that one. And I’m in no rush to again.
And I’m 36.

I have to ~~disagree~~ strongly disagree with Robb saying that the Mick Garris directed mini-series of The Shining is "vastly inferior". Sure, I like Stanley Kubrick's version too, but the miniseries from the 90's is better than what Robb implies. As to my five, I have to go from five to one. 5. When I was young i caught an edited for TV version of Joe Dante's Pirhana...I had a few nightmares over the opening scene where that fish eye flutters, then the guy says "stop tickling down there". Then the mutant fish munch him up and then his girlfriend. It's not the fact that they were fish food; it was the fact that they had "the appetizer" first, y'know? And then it was munching on the old man's ankles...and the chewing on the river raft. Years pass, I realize how much I loved the corny film. 4. Chloë Sevigny's acid bath in 1998's noir thriller "Palmetto" 3. Angus Scrimm throwing kiddies in a giant meat grinder in "Mindwarp" (1992) 2. The Satanic ritual/conspiracy at the end of Janet Greek's 1988 film "Spellbinder" (Dude's heart is not just broken, it is cut out by the woman he wanted to rescue; his best friend is also part of the coven ) 1. I'm so tempted to say Batman & Robin ALL OF IT. But that's an easy target, so I'll go with an unlikely choice. Patrick Muldoon getting his brains sucked out by the Brain Bug in 1997's "Starship Troopers".

The best thing about The Descent is becoming one with the darkness.

Saw “Trick r Treat” this morning ( came out today) and it was pretty cool… Had a couple of jumpscares that got me as well too.

I also loved The Descent. It was chilly even before the creatures and to this day I’ve never seen a more chilling movie. It’s a shame the American ending was different to the European one, the latter is the one i watched and it was exactly like my worst nightmare.

In The Mouth of Madness terrifies me in the same way the shining does, watching Sam Neill’s descent into true insanity. Kinda like his performance in Event Horizon.
If anyone wants to watch a truly unsettling movie that you will never ever in your entire life forget, search for a movie called Possession, it stars a very young Sam Neill, and the plot well… I couldnt even begin to explain it. It isnt easy to find uncut except from Canada and France. Look for it.
