Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer
This movie nauseated me and is solely responsible with my obsession with making sure all the doors and windows are locked when I go to bed. That one scene where Henry and Otis are watching the home video...my word. And that ending.

Suspiria
The music is scary as hell. I bought the limited edition DVD package and it came with the soundtrack. Needless to say, I've never listened to it. There are so many scenes in this movie that scare me: the opening sequence, the room full of barbed wire, the witches at the end, the seeing-eye dog murder. And the setting is so picturesque that it's almost shocking that it can be so unsettling.

The Brood
Why I'll never have kids.

Haute Tension
My friend gave me the Korean (or British, I forget which) DVD and it creeped me out for days. One of the best horror flicks made in years.

Session 9
I heartily recommend this for Halloween, but don't watch it alone, you'll piss yourself.

When A Stranger Calls
The first half hour and last half hour are petrifying!!!!!!!!!!

You're right some of the moments are scary, however, some of them are just downright ridiculous. The Stepfather? Blood Simple? The Terminator? These are not scary movies, well, unless you consider Arnold S. scary in a completely different way as I do.

Michael Meyers has to be the most frightening villian ever concocted. John Carpenter is a genius.

Have you see Ju-On yet? I was literally frightened for DAYS after seeing that movie!!
