of this list, the Haunting is my favorite. This movie has the most scary sounds of any horror movie that I've seen. This movie really plays on your fear of the unknown and unseen. Some seens still give me a chill just thinking about them.
Have to disagree however with the Shining. This was a huge disappointment because it cannot match the psyhological terror of Stepen Kings book. Jack is great and so are the sets, but I found the story really shortchanged the book.
Though the Haunting is my favorite, on second thought, I would rate the Exorcist the scariest, as the anticipation and fear when you watch that movie is palpable.
I am sure that a lot of people out there that are wondering where is the movie Halloween on this list? Halloween was the beginning of all of the slasher type movies (1978) and though the Rob Zombie Halloween movies are not as creative as the originals (in my opinion) I do believe that Halloween (the first one) should have been included on this list. Also, The Amityville Horror (the original) should also have also been considered.
I think the Omen was the only one that really creeped me out. Watched it once and never again.
