What is it about a perfectly done horror movie? You can't say there's a single way to do it: some use the time time-tested hot-chick-in-distress formula, some hinge on graphic displays of gore and disembowelment that make you recoil (even though keep watching, you sick bastard), and some simply shake you to your core...and in some cases drive you to therapy. But however a good scare flick works, it works, and in the process creates what are arguably your most vivid movie traumas memories. Ghosts, possessed kids, mutant killers, zombies—everyone has their own fear button, and everyone can have theirs pressed. Everyone. Point is, you may not find every movie in our collection of 50 to be paralyzingly creepy, but no matter who you are, best believe that there's at least one in here that'll haunt your dreams and seriously threaten your bladder control. But enough talking—it's Halloween time, so man up and click the image below to relive some of the scariest joints Hollywood (and France, and Spain, and low-budget filmmakers) has ever churned out.

Goddamn, I love horror movies
drag me to hell
the ring
i could go on an on...so much facepalm
I'm almost surprised Humanoids From The Deep isn't on this list. LOL
I've never seen the TV version or the one they did of Carrie some time ago..
I'm just glad they didn't forget [REC]
at all
When I was 10 I saw Poltergeist
RUINED ME...I started putting make believe voodoo spells on my closet every night to ensure no giant scary heads came out to kill me
i saw the trailer for bride of chuckie on tv when i was little and i have been scared ever since
I like The Shining and Silence of the Lambs, though. SotL I consider to be more of a thriller, anyway.

I haven't took the plunge into watching it yet, I'm kind of nervous lol
UGH WHEN HE'S IN HER HOUSE.
JFC.
That and Midnight Meat Train.
Also, I totally forgot about the Serpent and the Rainbow. I remember it being quite creepy so I will have to rewatch that.
... What? That was more laughable than scary.
paranormal activity was so freakin' lame.
Yeah it wasn't scary! And this is coming from someone who is really easy to scare! Most of the cinema was freaked out and screaming at parts, but I was sitting at the back with my popcorn laughing away.
I'm still pissed off I didn't watch it the first time at the cinema because that is movie that NEEDS to be seen in the cinema.
I haven't watched a horror movie through my hands since I was 8, but the Descent did it to me D:
Was a great film though--have the DVD. :D
