I've still never seen "Poltergeist". I'd like to, though...
Let's see-well, of course there's "Psycho", with its damned shower scene...thanks, Hitchcock

And "Halloween"-first time I saw this movie was after I'd come home from a haunted hayride in which I got the bejesus scared out of me by these chainsaw-wielding guys. After I saw the movie, that night I checked behind every single door, inside every single closet, and seriously thought about keeping my light on in my room (I didn't, though). And the next day I kept staring warily at this row of trees in my backyard whenever I'd be outside, just in case Michael popped out from behind them. Ever since then, I don't care how many times I see that movie, Michael, as well as the very last shots of the movie itself, never fail to creep me the hell out.
I know. I am a major wuss. I've come to terms with this. But those two movies definitely tie for my "scariest movie ever" pick. They both had multiple moments that truly frightened me.
Some other good mentions here, though, I have been creeped out by some of these movies as well. There's also "Misery", though actually, "Misery" was just more really,
really unsettling than anything else. Especially for those of us who want to be writers
.
"The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" is disturbing, too, but I just felt more like I desperately needed to take a shower after watching it more than anything else.

Well, some of us are a bit more easily frightened than others. Gore doesn't do it for me, but the really atmospheric stuff does. 
kind of a fun scary movie...
has anyone seen those leprechaun movies? leprechaun in the hood kicked ass
.
They have Halloween 5 listed as being on again in 2 1/2 hrs........
