I have to say I think if more people had seen Suspiria it would be doing better. It is literally like watching the scariest nightmare you could ever have.
I really didn't find Suspiria scary at all. I liked the twinkley music, though.

I hope I was voting for the original TCM. Maybe I was just in the right mood at the time, but that's one movie that definitely got to me.
 
Now I think about it, the movie that scares me the most is Candyman.
 
Dont Look Now. Not only its one of my all time favourite movies and my favourite actress, Julie Christie, is there, also is truly scary as hell. The dwarf at the end was absolutely scary. A true classic that i guess that most of the people here havent seen and its a must see .
 
The scariest film to me is Cars.
Why? WHERE ARE THE PEOPLE?! WHAT DID THEY DO TO THE PEOPLE?!!!
 
I grew out of Candyman. I don't get scared by "killer/slasher" films, because most of the time I am remotely sure I could get to a gun or bludgeoning object in real life and then make [said killer] wish he'd never been born. For me [to be scared] you have to take something I see as totally ficticious (like an Exorcism, an Alien, Zombies...) explode it to it's maximum potential, and most importantly make it look like it would if it really happened. That is why the Dead series by Romero and the Exorcist are so effective for me.

Candyman isn't about the fear of being stabbed. It's about the idea of being doomed, of being locked into a fate you cannot escape. It's truly depressing and nightmarish and that's why it's so scary.

That's up there for me.

Out of the ones that list, probably The Ring. If there were an other option I'd vote for The Descent.
 
Nah, I don't know why movies like that don't scare me. The other thing is when you have one killer usually for me it takes away from the "this could happen to anyone" thing...although I don't always need that to be involved.
 
Nightmare on elm st scared the sh## out of me when I was younger. My vote goes for that.

Easily agreed Kevin, that's how I see Candyman.
 
To me, Night of the Living Dead is the scariest film of all time. The way it's filmed, the use of black and white and the acting really make it much scarier than other zombie and horror films. The fact that these people are trapped in a single house with nowhere to run except to your death makes it terrifying. Other zombie movies turn out to be more like action films than Night of the Living Dead.

doesn't the ghost of a tortured and murdered slave that comes to kill when summoned by saying his name into a mirror fit into the totally ficticious category?

They did not make it seem to realistic though. I mean if your a ghost, why bother knifing people....doesn't make sense to me.
