Definitely "Event Horizon" Scariest movie I've seen in my lifetime, one of my favorites.

Event Horizon is definately great. That whole "Corpse speaking in latin" part scared the crap outta me the first couple of times I saw it.

I tend to like movies like Hellraiser/Wishmaster because of the scenery and the "cool factor". Candyman is pretty classic as well, along with some of the older Wes Craven stuff (Last House On The Left, etc.). And nobody can doubt the George Romero Zombie Trilogy (actually he's supposed to make a part 4 now I guess...)

Then again, don't listen to me. I'm a huge Troma fan.

EDIT: Oh yeah, just remembered. The Phantasm series is my fav of all time. Somehow I forgot.

Honorable mention for the "Zombie" movies. I'm sorry but the Zombie vs. Shark scene is killer... It was WAAAYYY before the whole Ninja vs. Pirate thing and still made me punch my mom right in the face.
 
the older chucky movies, b/c the childs name was Andy, and so is mine. i used to think the doll was coming for me.
 
i'm a big wuss so many movies scared me.

Ring (J-Spec)
Nightmare on 13th Street

but I thought the Shining was not scary at all except the old lady from the bath tub scene (watched when I was 22)

 
The Fog is a nightmare especially if there are radar, gps, loran problems. OAUT, oil fired lighthouses with sixth order fresnels were optical wonders!
 
Ohh i love scarry movies.

But i also enjoy ones that make me laugh. Such as the evil dead series and the Toxic avanger seires. heh they were great
 
Gonna go with the Event Horizon people. Evil Dead series/DeadAlive are cool, but too comedic for me to give "best horror" too.
 
the original texas chainsaw massacre.
also henry was pretty creepy. but movies don't even scare me anymore. i watched the exorcist for the first time about a year ago, man i never laughed so hard.
 
Poltergeist scared the crap out of me in 7th grade, especially the scene near the end with the skeletons coming out of the muddy pool... ugh...
 
Aliens and Poltergeist at age 6-8
Event horizon later.
I also liked "What lies Beneath". But When I first saw it I'd gotten the tickets for free and knew nothing about the movie at all. For the first 30 mins I thought it was one of those boring drama's...... was I ever wrong
 
Event Horizon.

Alien. Not Aliens, but Alien. I was only 8 or 9 when I first saw it though, so the scariness might be more attributable to my being a whippersnapper when I first saw it.
 
I'm going to have to agree with the Event Horizon people.
Especially the scene when the old crew was having fun, ick.
 
The Exorcist. Although I've never finished it. Lat time I tried I was by myself and I freaked myself out so bad I had to call a friend to come pick me up.

I think it stems from being with my parents watching it at the drive-in. They would take us for the earlier kid friendly movie and we would usually be asleep before the R movie. I wasn't and that sh!t gave me nightmares for years.
 
Maybe one of you movie buffs can help me locate a specific movie. Back around the time An American Werewolf in London was released, there was a spat of other movies using the same technique to transform from human to werewolf. I don't know if they preceded that movie or not, but I love that transformation! There was one, where the werewolf was reaching after this guy in a wood pile, and he hacked its hand/paw off. This was the first or second of a series.

The movie I'm interested was produced around this time, and may even have been one of those series. One scene that sticks with me, was the transformed werewolf stalking the aisles of a church, with the minister scrambling to get away. It was on all fours, with a pretty large, humped back, and sent shivers down my spine! I think I'd like to buy it, if I knew which one it was. Anybody?

Edit: It was probably one of The Howling series, but I seem to remember it being a unique movie apart from those...
 
Tower of Evil. It actually wasn't that great of a movie, but I saw it on local broadcast tv, and it seemed like the whole cast was nekkid through the whole movie.
