Not that I have seen either one, but are we talking about the original or the recent remake?
The Ring
Stir of Echos
The Hitcher
The Shining
and of course … The Crying Game

I saw the Japanese version of the Ring called Ringu before the American release and how my apartment was situated my bed perfectly placed to where if I were laying down I could see nothing but the living room t.v. Needless to say I didnt sleep much that first night.
Another one that got me was Event Horizon, I’ve never jumped so much in one movie in my life.
Poltergeist terrified me as a kid to the point that I hated sleeping in a room with closets that had mirror fronts.

Yes! event horizon! that is the most scary movie I have EVER seen!

The remake…which sucked monkey ass. I bought the shit on dvd before ever seeing it…and I want my money back. It isn’t scary. It isn’t interesting. It isn’t written well and the “radioactive hillbillies” just make it look that much more stupid. If that movie was the most shocking movie that someone has ever seen, they don’t get out very much.
‘Aliens’ scared the crap out of me when I was little. ‘Thing’ pretty much had the same effect.
More recently, ‘Signs’ scared the bejesus out of me. I think because I can associate with the locale and the idea of defending a home like that without real weapons. The end was absolutely retarded, though.
Spielberg’s ‘War of the Worlds’, was surprisingly creepy despite my hatred of Cruise.
And TC wrote an article about how his motivation for training was to slay dragons. Personally, I can’t wait until the zombies attack. As such, I’m partial to;
28 Days Later
Night of the Living Dead
Dawn of the Dead (both)
Day of the Dead
Land of the Dead
From Dusk 'til Dawn
I’ll throw in a second vote for “28 Days Later”. That movie just did such a great job of displaying pure hopelessness, freaked me out.
“Fire In the Sky” scared the hell out of me when I was young, but I haven’t seen it since.

Personnally, I thought that movie sucked. You don’t really care for any of the characters; the “good guys” are so annoying, you’re almost glad when they get mutilated.
One of the recent ones I enjoyed was “The Descent”, especially the first half. Very few movies have exploited claustrophobia as a fear and this one does it well.
The second half is more standard horror movie fare and just so-so.
Worth a rental.

When I was young I watched Stephen King’s IT. Scared the shit out of me and gave me a lasting distrust of clowns. Saw the movie again 5 years later and it wasn’t as bad as I remembered it.
The scene in the ring (the remake) when she walks out of the t.v was highly disturbing. Also the scene from the movie House on Haunted Hill where the girl is walking through the halls of the abandoned asylum with a camcorder.
She walks past all the empty rooms (viewed through the camcorder) when suddenly one room has all these surgeons perfoming an operation and they slowly look up to see her. For some reason that did it for me![/quote]
Dude
It gave me chills again just reading what u said about House on haunted hill.I thought the same thing when i watched it.
Scariest would have to be The Grudge and Stir of Echo’s. The ring is pretty scary.
Zombie movies are not very scary at all but 28 days later and Dawn of the dead are fuckin awsome movies.
For all u old school fans i found The Changling a very scary movie.
Oh also Amitiville 2 was spooky.
I could keep rambling with other but il leave it at this.
Peace
King of Kings
Movies that scared me back in the day which may not be scary today:
Halloween, Alien, Friday the 13th Part 1, Exorcist, Night of the Living Dead.
Others that are cool: Evil Dead I & II, Reanimator I, Dead Alive.

They overdid the gore effects. A skull getting sawed into is just interesting to me. I’ve seen it done for real so their attempt to gross people out with it just seemed funny to me. I thought the overall story was better written than the other two, however. I just didn’t need to see someone’s legs twisted off or their rib cage ripped open. [/quote]
I agree with this. I can’t watch women get mangled, and so I avoid any movie where this happens.
Gore is not the measure of a truly scary movie- fear is.
For me, the original Amnityville Horror from the 70s was by far the freakiest. Some parts were corny, I agree. However, to me there is nothing more scary than fucking Satan.
I always thought those Scream movies were stupid- good, put me with a fucking serial killer in a damn town. I’ll be like Arnold in Predator, painting mud on myself and making boobytraps and exploding arrows.
Now, Satan, that’s a whole nother story. Get me the fuck outta there.
The original Salem’s Lot.
I was about 9 when I first saw it on broadcast TV, and I was freaked for weeks.
I had 2 windows in my bedroom and had dreams about that kid hovering right outside, asking me to let him in.
Damn. [shivers]
I’m so desensitized that nothing really scares me. Only movies I’ve really felt anything from recently:
Dawn of the Dead(re-make)
Omen(Re-make)
Truly scary movies: Ving Rhames scene in Pulp Fiction(the part where he had a gag ball in his mouth…thinks about it NOOOOOOOOOOOO)
2.Being lost in the woods in “Deliverance”
3.One scene in the Crying Game
Best horror movie ever: Halloween
I saw the original Halloween when it came out, and it totally scared the piss out of me.
Jaws did as well.
More currently, the freakin’ Grudge. I have never been more terrified of a pop-locking chinese chick in my life. That scene where the sister answers the cell phone and lets up her “brother” and then the door bell rings…CRAP.
The scene with the reflection on the bus made me shat myself as well. I never thought a PG-13 movie would do that to me. 
I realize it was a made for tv movie in the 80’s and has Steve Gutenberg in it, but “The Day After” is probably at the top of my list. Not really a horror movie, but damn.
Punch Drunk Love with adam sandler. That scared the bejesus out of me!
I’ve had my share of splatter and horror. However, the movie that was able to freak me out after all those years was “Audition” by Takeshi Miike. Great scary entertainment if your taste is not totally run down by today’s hectic MTV-style movie era.
A Nightmare on Elm Street…Poltergeist… Halloween(everyone except the 3rd one)…Jason the 13th(only certain ones)…The Shining…The Exorcist
