What, in your opinion, is the scariest film ever made?

Big scary monsters are not scary. Big scary monsters are, with a very few honourable exceptions (mainly the Alien movies and Jaws), usually incredibly lame. Having a creepy as hell clown turn out to just be another generic big scary monster is weak shit. Good horror should be all about suggestion; it should imply terror but rarely show it in the full light of day (which is why the Alien movies and Jaws are largely successful. Well, at least the first couple of Alien movies).

I agree to an extent. Big scary monsters don't really stay with me...I grew up in modern day, in surburbia. That's what scares me, just the suggestion of something weird going on in a picture perfect scene like that...You know, maybe serial killers lurking in their Mom's basement, cooking body parts up and such. Oh, also scary movies in office buildings...everyone's been in an office after everyone has left and the lights are all out. They can be pretty scary, with all the smoked glass windows and just rows and rows of desks. I guess what I'm trying to say is that monsters aren't scary, but mentally deranged people really are, because it's much more plausible.

also; the naked old lady.

That scene always scared the piss out of me, too!!! I never understood why, but it shot chills.
I haven't seen this one mentioned, but I always thought the Ring was pretty good, and I thought there were a ton of cool shots throughout. The ending was really weak when the girl came out of the screen, but up to that point, I was fairly creeped out.

How has this thread progressed to this point without a single mention of John Carpenter's The Thing? It's not the scariest movie ever made by any stretch but it's one of the best horror films I've ever seen. The blood-testing scene is absolutely perfect.
Cartilage Head:
David Lynch is pretty much the best "horror" director out there.
