As Halloween gets nearer, what's the absolute scariest, most bone chilling movie you've ever seen?

1. The Ring. Fuck the closet scene. That one fucked me up more than the infamous well one. Was not expecting it

2. The Thai version of "Shutter" was pretty scary when I first watched it. Her face when she's climbing down the ladder ughh

3. Probably the 6th Sense, the Ring, or the IT (2017 one). 6th sense because I was 9 years old and watched it in my basement. The little creepy violin stabs that play whenever you'd see dead bodies was terrifying (freakiest was the hanging bodies in the school). The Ring, I was 11, and again that freaked the SHIT out of me. I really think the sound design in that pushed it over the edge. It was like a bigger feeling of 'impending doom' than the movie 'It Follows' (which was also really good imo). IT from 2017, I think, was just a really fucking scary horror movie, that wasn't overhyped to the point where I was criticizing every 30 seconds of it. The librarian staring at the kid flipping through the old books, the leper chasing the kid (again, the music there, that thumping industrial shit, was just so intense at that volume in the theater), and the projector part (when his face appears and he's like biting his lip staring at the kids). Fuck that movie, but I loved it, and it was so scary.

5. Pants shittingly scary the frist time I saw it: Jackob's Ladder. Scary Every time: V/H/S Left a huge impact on me: 28 days later Honorable Mention, if you like video games: Silent Hill (don't bother with the sequel)

6. The original Blare Witch, that very end scene / 30 seconds or whatever it is haunted me. I saw it in the theatre at the time and hadn't seen anything like it before (not sure most people had). The shaky-cam already had me feeling unsettled just watching it for that long, then BAM they ramp up the last few seconds to 13. I'm not sure how it holds up now, I haven't watched it since, but it was scary at the time.

7. The Road. Thats how a post-apocalyptic world would be. No zombies, no mutants, no gas masks, no nifty hodgepodge guns. Just unfathomable desperation at every degree and absolutely no hope of being rescued from it. Suicide would constantly be in consideration and death would probably come from someone much bigger and stronger than you bludgeoning you to death for either what little you had or to eat your corpse. Women and children would experience the closest thing to hell before dying.

8. Most recently, 'Lake Mungo' gave me the creeps.

9. In terms of freaking out and causing emotional trauma: Eraserhead. In terms of scares: The Orphanage.

10. Junior. Hands down that is some of the scariest imagery I've EVER seen. And I sat through Shark Tale and Son of the Mask.

11. Alien. The one directed by Ridley. I saw the movie alone as a kid and it terrified me.
