I love The Shining. It's borderline hypnotic. Between those twins (Come play with us, Danny) and the old lady in the tub, it's hard not to say it's the scariest movie ever.
The Exorcist is a major mindfuck too, but moreso when I was younger and ultra-religious.
Pic related has to be number one, because unlike the other two films I mentioned, this is real. This can and does happen, and it's fucking terrifying. TCM is a pitch-perfect masterpiece, and not just the greatest horror film ever, but possibly the best movie of any genre.
What's your favorite horror movie of all time, Sup Forums?
You need a film that's got the lot to call it true horror: existential dread, jump scares, slowly ramping psychological terror, a nasty very designed monster, and the fear of not getting your bonuses.
Tyler Diaz
Fucking wierd. Just found that free on Youtube and was planning to watch it tonight. Bava, right? How is it?
Chase Cox
The Shinning? Scary?
Aiden Harris
I honestly don't get the praise around the shining. Maybe I watched it with the wrong mindset. It's a good movie but great? Masterpiece? eh.
As for horror- the thing undeniably, followed by alien and TCM.
Lucas Bell
I have never seen a movie that has made me even the least bit scared. Every time it just seems like the same shitty tropes and jump scares.
Lincoln Moore
There are too many great ones for me to pick a single best. These three pretty much always win as per my favorites. I have loads of others though.
Zachary Morgan
There are far better films, but no movie ever made me as scared as Pulse. It's just so damn eerie, until it gets boring.
Amazing, assuming you like Gothic Horror. No one makes movies like Bava
Nolan Evans
TCM is great but here's the real champ.
Mason Turner
breddy spoopy :DD
Christian Wilson
Probably your pic reared OP.
That diner sequence still messes me up.
That cut to the eyeball is brutal for me for some reason.
Sucks that they keep trying to make TCM movies.
Cooper Miller
Not scariest ever, but one I don't see mentioned a lot is The Brood. I think it's a classic and my dad and I like to watch it together. We always have a good laugh too and talk about how it's not too scariest because the women in our lives aren't much different than the mom in the movie.
Carter King
Im too much of a pussy to watch any horror film, but this OP's pic looks interesting
Is this a actual movie scene?
Its the bad guy family?
Connor Stewart
>this is real No it's not. It's fiction.
Easton Myers
The original Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
Yes it is.
Yes.
Watch it.
Henry Russell
Im too much of a pussy, sorry
What the fuck is in the middle? A midget slender man?
Also, leather face use the mask made of skin from his mom?

It's a fucking masterpiece. Probably the best intro ever. Sets a tone of dread right from the start and never lets up. It's friday night and your home alone. Give it a shot user.
Camden Bailey
What I hate about all the sequels is how they dehumanize Leatherface and just turn him into some unstoppable killing machine. In the original, you can tell how miserable and disturbed he is. The Hitchhiker obviously enjoys hurting people but I get the impression that LF just kind of wants to be left alone. You see how the Cook bullys him. Poor guy. Tragic misunderstood character.
Ayden Brown
Yeah, because this bitch wasn't creepy at all.
Go fuck yourself.
Nicholas Murphy
what the hell is the one line the masked people say?
Ayden Wilson
cuz u wer home XD
Gavin Thomas
Does anyone else shit their pants watching movies featuring kidnapping or teen prostitution? In the past 4 years I got adopted by my best friend's family. I never had a sister until I moved in with them and now I find that I'm super protective of his 15 year old sister like she's my own sister. Watching shit like Twin Peaks where you see young girls abused by nasty old fucks in dingy bars terrifies me.
Jose Robinson
I was just gonna say this one. Plus, H. R. Giger is a badass motherfucker, and anything that incorporates his art is fucking awesome
>based jones
Jack Howard
Watch this with her. It might save her life one day.
I honestly think this should be required viewing for all teenage girls active on social media.
Christian Flores
Forgot pic
Carson Wright
I still have a fondness for the sequel. It's got gore and Chop Top and Dennis Hopper.
But nothing beats the original TCM.
Elijah Morris
>best horror film ever made not this, but it's under rated and good fun
Jackson Watson
is this movie really fucked up?
Isaiah Baker
A few days ago I wrote some conventional observations about Leatherface vs. Gein (and related villains), noting that the family dinner scene plays like a sick joke (its intended effect. It is frightening not because it is bloody, but because it is /so fucking strange/), and specifically that Leatherfaces' transvestism (apparently revisited in sequels that I haven't seen) was present from the very beginning of the franchise. I then traced Leatherface's adoption of a "woman-role" at times, together with other gein-sourced villains, back to Gein's loss of his mother, and the privacy he enjoyed in his house.
Interestingly, another user or two thought that I was reaching a bit far, despite the fact that I was simply parroting a blend of conventional, documented ideas for the movie.
TCM is probably top five territory. Robert Wises' The Haunting is alos high up there.
Adam Howard
Made by people who thought the parasitic wasp-type reproductive system of the creature in Alien wasn't complicated enough.
Ends up with the father infecying his son and a pre-Bond Girl Maryam d'Abo plastered to a wall laying eggs.
Jack Torres
The ending is a kick in the balls. Megan's friend's death is probably one of the worst ways to die I can imagine. It's an above average horror film. It certainly doesn't belong in the same category as the other movies ITT, but it's worth a watch.

Lucas Butler
Just watched that, very underrated. I can't remember a better english horror desu
Hunter Powell
I don't know. I'm not a big fan of old horror films. I liked the Japanese version of Dark Water. It was simple but atmospheric.
Charles Kelly
I know it get so much shit here for being 'hipster horror' but I really liked The Witch.
Others I would consider top ten creepy/atmospheric horror:
Funny Games The Shining The Wicker Man Inland Empire Let The Right One In REC Jacob's Ladder Don't Look Now TCM
etc
Mason Johnson
leatherface dancing with the chainsaw is a 10/10 ending
Jonathan Walker
You didn't say the movie.
Justin Ortiz
The Thing is my favorite. Having no games that capture that dreadfulness is torture.
Blake Jones
Stephen King wrote the source and hated it, so you aren't alone. He even paid for a more true-to-form TV movie.
Joseph White
MY CHILDREN!
Zachary Stewart
It's a toss up between The Thing and The Exorcist
Hunter Brooks
the shining must be one of the most boring movie ever made. literally jack nicholson staring in confusion for 2 hours
Ian Anderson
What exactly does MiM2 stand for?
Alexander Turner
alien isnt a horror movie, jackass. just because youre a faggot and get scared for nothing, doesnt mean its horror
Asher Morris
The Thing 1982
Jackson Robinson
That movie sucks so bad. Some of the worst acting ever put on film
Colton Roberts
Not worth pussying out of, Even my 10 year old bro has seen this fked up masterpiece.
Robert King

Benjamin Nelson

Matthew Gonzalez
Sorry, best horror intro belongs to Dawn of the Dead
It wasn't bad. Quite cool having to calm your companions down if they started freaking out. Sucked that sometimes you'd keep them alive and uninfected through a whole level only to have them become Things due to scripted events though. :(
Brody Sanders
Pic related gets my vote, though for some reason it's always overlooked when people talk about the best horror movies.
My top 10
The Haunting The Blair Witch Project The Loved Ones Black Christmas The Changeling An American Werewolf In London The Exorcist House On Haunted Hill New Nightmare 28 Days Later
Jayden Smith
>pic related
Chase Clark
Perhaps because it is not so much a film, as it is a confession.
Ian Edwards
Thank you
Dominic Allen
patrician choice. horror in every sense of the word. and the book is great too
Joseph Russell
The problem with The Haunting is that if you read the book it's so much better, i mean miles ahead of the film even though the film is ok. But what it took out is the most important part of the book: the prose, which gets into the characters' heads in the way the film never does. Please read it if you haven't
Gabriel Miller
The Exorcist Texas Chainsaw Massacre The Shining Alien The Thing
Everything else is derived from those.
Chase Evans
I think he later came around to like the Shining movie

DLing right now. I really dig aussie movies after watching Wake In Fright. Do you happen to know any more aussie stuff, besides Lake Mungo?
Juan Rivera
I have seen a fair few horror movies and TCM disturbed me to the point where I have never revisited it. Everything about it gets under my skin
Nicholas Walker
I have never understood the love for Evil Dead.
Samuel Bell
Essential convictcore, along with Lake Mungo and pic related
Joseph Allen
its because you have this attitude "nothing can scare me"
every film you watch you're actively trying not to be scared
you probably try not to laugh during comedies huh faggot?
Juan Mitchell
Not him but I actually never laugh at movies. I just think "heh, that was funny".
Jayden Jenkins
This is an 18+ site champ, come back in seven years.
Anthony Brooks

It's alien.
Jaxon Rogers
the wicker man is THE greatest horror movie of all time.
Grayson Ross
TCM is so overrated and the 2004 remake is way better. Pic related is the scariest ever intro
Connor Cruz
No, thank you.
Brandon Ross
Muh nigga
Cooper Edwards
This is currently what terrifies me the most in horror movies, because that shit happens irl every single day. Young girls my age get kidnapped, raped, and murdered is the realest thing in pretty much any horror movie. The scene in TCM where she's tied up and being terrorized by the family, whimpering and utterly terrified, is the only time I was physically sickened from watching a movie. Probably because it actually happened to a girl I knew, no doubt the most horrific thing that's ever happened to anyone I knew. Disturbs me to the core any time a girl is knocked out/drugged/assaulted.
TCM gets my vote for that reason and so many others
>droning mechanical soundtrack >fucking Gunnar Hensen as Leatherface >godly pacing and camera work >minimal gore, maximum terror >vicious imagery, that fucking poster >that ending sequence with Leatherface dancing with his chainsaw, fucking spectacle music to my ears
at the risk of further memeing, this was the most i've ever enjoyed a movie at the theaters
Jack Bennett
Well said. I think the same principle also applies to August Underground, only without the brilliance of Tobe Hooper. It's just where TCM is a masterpiece, AU just feels like a gritty snuff film that you shouldn't be watching. I just felt sick in the pit of my stomach during it because you just know someone is doing shit like that every day in America and you or someone you love could be next.
On an unrelated note, does anyone have the Black Phillip copypasta? That has got to be the funniest shit I've ever read on here.
Adrian Watson
Holy fuck, did I just use the word 'just' four times in two sentences? I just really need to go to sleep already.
