In no partucular order:

1. Halloween (Original) - While not super scary it's just a very creepy movie.

2. Scream - The slasher film of my generation.

3. The Devil's Backbone - Very original ghost story. Nothing else like it out there.

4. Alien - One of my all time favorites, a true classic.

5. The Exorcist - While not scared anymore by this movie, was terrified as a child.

Honorable Mention:

1. The Orphanage - Amazing movie, but I will admit it gets a little to slow in the middle of the movie.

Psycho (1960) - Screw the remake and stick to the classic. I've seen this countless times since a teenager and it's still scary as hell. First time you see it, it's the shower scene that scares most people the first time but after seeing it a few more times you see it in a different light and realize the other reasons why this is so scary.

Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974) - The original was made in the '70s and it has this gritty, guerilla-style of filming with all unknown actors, so it feels like you're watching a documentary. This movie gave me nightmares for a while after seeing it, and even now can leave you feeling uneasy for days afterwards. It's not a splatter film, but this was intense enough to make people leave the theater when it first came out.

The Exorcist (1973) - I saw this when they re-released it in 2000 with added scenes. I actually jumped a few times even though I knew what was coming. This is the utlimate modern horror film.

Repulsion (1965) - Before Roman Polanski directed Rosemary's Baby, he did this. Most people have never even heard of this, but this movie will scare the hell out of you. It's probably the only movie ever made that shows a person's mental collapse without being unpleasant yet still scary. Lots of scenes in this movie that will make you jump, and tap into that fear of being alone in the dark.

Wolfen (1981) - Most people fear urban ghettos for fear of being the victim of crimes at the hands of gangs, but in this movie the gangs are the least of people's worries. Turns out there's something way worse out there.
