Texas Chainsaw Massacre, the oringinal. Any and all sequels or remakes were admittedly terrible, but the original was disturbing and so realistic. To this day, I can't get the image of Leatherface's first appearance in that movie...there's no music, no intense climax builder...just a metal door sliding open, a sickening thud of a meat hammer to a human skull, and the first victim being drug away, convulsing and spasming...leaves a major impact.
I'd also have to go the Shining. Nobody beats Nicholson as Jack Torence, and even though the movie deviates from the book a little (which may have been a good thing), I still hail it as one of the better done ghost movies I've ever seen. A very psychological flick. I'd also suggest any Ramero zombie flick, along with any of the "28 Days/Weeks Later" movies. They get a wrap for being "innovative" but they're just flat out good zombie movies, regardless to if the "z" word is used or not.

Most horror movies are funny not scary. If you haven't seen the Ring I'd suggest seeing the original Japanese Ringu - a far more effective study in horror. Wolf Creek is awesome (head on a stick anyone?). Horror really depends on what actually scares the viewer in real life - I find news reports about abducted kids far more scary than any horror movie for example.
During my quest for the scariest/goriest/most disturbing movies 'Begotten' on Google video keeps getting mentioned. Personally I think it's boring, black&white pants, but I mention it here because others rave about it.
'Funny Games' is an Austrian movie being remade with Naomi Watts and Tim Roth and is also available on Google video - well worth checking out before the hollywood version is released.

When I was around 7ish I seen part of a horror film. To this day I dont know what it was but it ws horriffic. The part I seen was when the police sprayed the room with something that ould show up blood traces. The old couple who bought the house after switched out the lights are there was a gold glow through out the house. There was drag marks, handprints, it was awful. The body was in a bin liner outside somewhere. Jesus im still scared....

Hi I dont get scared by horror films much,
I dont like IT the clown, and I wouldnt watch it when I was a kid but im ok with it now, and nothing else really scares me.
The one that makes me sort of scared is Darkness Falls I dont like the noise she makes, and I think this is because something spooky happend to me and this was a similaer noise I heards. but other than that I find horror films more funny that scary the excorcist was funny when her head turns that cracks me up.
As for the toolbox murders its not banned it was one telly a while ago.
I think the most ones that get you thinking are the ones that are not some stupid monsters or guys in masks there the ones that are real people doing the killing. but there not nesscary scary or jumpy it just makes you think that it could happen.

It would have to be The exorsist which i watched when i was around nine years of age. It took until i was 23 to be able to watch it and then i still viewed it with the lights on. The next one from that would be The reaping which i only watched about three weeks ago on the virgin film flex and i would reccomend it if you have the service avail or rent it on dvd. It was scary as it was believable as it was about religion and the ten events that happened between the devil and god. I would not reccomend this if you are religous as i found it hard viewing for me and i am not a church goer.

The Exorcist.
It was banned for 25 years and after I watched it, I realized why. Haha.
28 Weeks Later is scary too. I guess because it's based in England, where I live, - and it's a virus.
What if that really happened? Viruses are being created all the time. The Bird Flu has become human apparently.

I don't get why people keep saying the Ring! The only scary part was when she crawled out of the TV. And yes, that was SCARY, but still, they had a lot of potential to incorporate more creepy stuff into it, like developing the horsees more, the little girl doing these horrible things on purpose, they let all that fall flat. Anyway, for me, White Noise left me seriously chilled. Seriously.
However, when I was little, I used to jump out of the bathtub because I'd think of Jaws. I was afraid of him in the pool, and I was on a swim team!! I'd call that scared.

The scariest horror film I have ever seen was saw 1. The sequels were garbage.

There's a short horror film, a japanese one, only about 3 minutes long that scared the living daylights out of me. It's called 4444444444. I knew what was going to happen in it but it still terrified me: I couldn't sleep that night, and to this day I'm afraid to answer my phone and have to keep it switched off at night.
And believe me, I've watched all the Saw films and other scarier ones. But that one is scary. You can find it on youtube.
