      Then throw in EVERY aspect of fear... Isolation, unknown, paranoia, gore, unpredictability, darkness and monsters... You get one of the best horror movies of all time.
      I still think it's a underappreciated film even though it's appreciated.

      I agree, but ultimately the movie had one big flaw -- the antagonists were three normal humans armed with nothing more than a knife. It's scary, but if they tried that at my home, they'd be the only three people leaving in body bags.

      I feel the same way about Psycho and Alien My top two picks I can accept The Haunting as #3. Most of this list are so predictable they aren't even scarey. I do like the Shining but for the complexity not scares.

      The creepiest part for me is actually 2 things, first one is when she is in bed looking at the shadows on the wall turning from a smiling face to a mad frown and the sounds of children laughing to sobbing was creepy as hell but also when they put their beds together and she’s holding onto the other’s hand while she’s having a nightmare and she wakes up and their beds are separated and she’s not holding the other lady’s hand anymore!! “Whose hand am I holding then?”

    One day when me and a friend of mine rented the ring for the first time, when we got through watching it on VHS and we popped the movie out of the VCR the damn phone rang and we did not answer it LOL

    The Shining is my favorite horror movie. The suspenseful, ominous atmosphere is felt from the very beginning and doesn't let up until the beautiful, otherworldly closing shot.
