Whoa.... I didn't know that Rob Zombie did a remake of Halloween. I'm renting that tonight. And by renting I mean downloading... and by downloading, I mean pirating.

When I was five (not a typo, I was five) my parents took me and my older brother to see Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978 version with Donald Sutherland). When I look back now, not the scariest film ever, but being five probably the most terrifying experience of my life. Shortly after they made laws about kids going to movies like this.

Anyways, top three:

1. The Changeling - the scene with the ball coming down the stairs still freaks me out
2. The Exorcist - incredible movie, with incredible cinematography to boot
3. The Shining

These three absolutely f$%ked with my psyche.

Honourable mention for the Woman In Blalck and the remake of When a Stranger Calls.

Maybe, but I was incredibly disappointed with Zombie's Halloween. Carpenter created something amazing, and on a budget of $320k, that kind of thing is unheard of. He created something terrifying using great storytelling, great camera work and lighting, and by using characters you cared about. I was SO excited to see what Rob Zombie could do with Halloween; The Devil's Rejects was brilliant, and I thought that Halloween was something that he could really sink his teeth into. Sadly, I found it to be a hollow, blood filled special effect movie filled with characters that I could care less for...

1 - The Changeling - have to agree with CcC here; for me it was the banging on the bathtub that really freaked me out, plus the kid looking up from the well...man that was messed up.

2 - The Ring - Just the girl coming out of the damn TV is enough to make the list - that was seriously freaky.

3 - The Exorcist - All time classic, still does the trick almost 40 years later.

Those are the ones that come to mind right now (probably because they were all mentioned already) but i don't think any movie ever creeped me out as much as The Changeling.

He's Just Not That Into You - This movie scared the hell out of me.

I typically steer clear of the horror genre, but as soon as I saw this thread Event Horizon popped into my mind. That movie just creeped me right out!

Everybody's had some really solid choices, so I'm going to list three that haven't been called yet...

1. Texas Chainsaw Massacre (the original)
2. Carnival Of Souls
3. In The Mouth Of Madness

It was only a matter of time before I found this thread.

I may change my mind but here are my top three in no particular order:

1. The Shining - saw this when I was a kid, and afterwards refused to go up the stairs and turn the corner in case I saw the two dead girls.

2. Paranormal Activity - people have mixed reviews of this film but I loved the original. It was simple, the atmosphere slowly built and kept me on the edge of my seat. The unknown with something creepy (especially not human) has more of an effect on me. Actually have seen all four (watched the latest one yesterday) and was disappointed with three and four. I think I'm done with them. But the original is still great.

3. The Grudge - I've never seen the American remake and I doubt I ever will. But I found the originally really creepy.

Honourable mention: The Ring (original)

By the way, it doesn't really count as scary but if you want to watch a film that is very unsettling/disturbing, check out Martyrs. It definitely stuck with me for awhile afterwards, so although didn't keep me up at night, it had a similar effect as some scary films.

Personally, as an adult, I find horror flicks boring but I remember as a kid there were a few movies that scared the crap out of me.

1. The Evil Dead
2. Halloween
3. When A Stranger Calls (the original. The remake wasnt as scary, maybe because I was older and knew what was coming).
