I've never seen Nosferatu, but I've had nightmares with his image in it. I think it is probably one of the scariest movies ever. As far as movies I've seen: The Shining has a few unsettling scenes, so does Psycho. The original "The Haunting" freaked the hell out of me. |

nosferatu is not scary i laughed a lot though. have you seen shadow of the vampire? very good film starring willem defoe.
the shining is scary. its true to say that some films are just plain horror/shock/gore/disturbing but the shining is very scary. |

I don't easily get scared, but there are some movies that have great shock moments like;
The thing (1982) Halloween (only the first one) and I still get shivers down my spin when I watch the scene in Arlington road at the phone booth with Joan Cusack confronting Hope Davis. Joan is pure evil in that thriller. But that's my opinion.

Les yeux sans visage (Eyes Without a Face) 1959, Georges Franju.
A surgeon removes the skin of young girls to give his daughter a brand new face. The girl's clean mask, her stillness are scary. The lack of music during the scenes when the surgeon operates scares you too : music would have helped you escape. Audition was/is great. And there's Skinner, by Ivan Nagy, with Ted Raimi, Ricki Lake & Traci Lords. Every single character is suffering. Skinner skins people alive in a dying town where people are strangers to each other. No car to be seen in an American movie - I couldn't believe it. Scary for being so sad & nearly unsane. Ted Raimi in his flesh-clothing... Brrr... Silence of the Lambs was working well on the same level. And I'd say any film where a needle is stuck into an arm. That creeps me out. |

scary movies are laughable, anything to do with vampires, werewolves & other monsters used to give me nightmares when i was a little kid. life has taught me however that imaginary monsters are nothing but the symbols of real life dangers (death, disease, pain, etc). so now movies that involve abuses of power or political paranoias or sociopaths do freak me out at times. for various reasons:
Z by costa gavras; kubrick's eyes wide shut; affliction (forget the director, with nick nolte & james coburn) eyes without a face was awesome by the way. creepy, but didn't instill in me any fear. |

I heard "An Unconvient Truth" is the new scariest movie ever made. I mean it does have Al Gore, so I'm sure its in contention.

Lost Highway scared the shit out of me.
I don´t know if it´s the camera work or the silence or something else i haven´t noticed. horror, shock movies: Amityville Horror (very good shock moments, the rest sucks) |

The Da Vinci Code. Not because it was suspensful or exciting or anything like that. It sucked so bad it scared me away from the theaters and the rest of Ron Howard's movies for the next ten years. It truly sucked.

**i love the classic so i have to say that elm street series with freddy krueger is the best ever. especially the third movie which goes on the soul asylum!! second best the shining. but the ring isn't worst though. i also liked a lot the rose red, it has a great idea!**
