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.
A personal favorite of mine is As Above, So Below. Did not make the list, but I would ALWAYS recommend that movie to anyone if they would like to be scared.
Serial killers who wear skin check Terrifying set pieces check Iconic horror hero check I mean what makes this a thriller instead of a horror film. Big budget slasher imo
23:45 Psycho Watchmojo: “Show it to someone with no knowledge of the plot and their reaction will be genuine terror” Also Watchmojo: shows the plottwist at the ending of the film… 👏😐
i'm surprised you don't have people bashing you for liking the remake, honestly. but i love it also! it would have been way better if they'd been allowed to keep the practical effects and not redo it with occasionally mediocre cgi, but it still has a ton of grody body horror in that was great to watch.
Man I went on a rampage looking for it to watch free on streaming service because it's always on horror countdowns and I just watched hereditary and Ari Aster admitted taking influence from it so I figured it's time to watch it. Couldn't find it but watched Rosemary's baby instead which I liked and Ari also got influence from it too.
Imagine seeing this back in the 70s on opening day when you're only 12 years old. That was me. For years I could not watch it without covering my eyes. The soundtrack alone is terrifying.
Both Alien and The Fly (1986) scared the hell out of me when I was a kid. Too bad I didn't see the latter on this list, the transformation process from Brundle to fly was truly horrifying in my opinion...
I love that "IT" isn't a traditionally scary horror movie, and that there weren't really any jump scares. The scares were mostly on the kids' own fears, and it could easily function as a simple coming of age story.
I was excited to watch the movie since everyone was talking about it. However, it turned out to be absolutely terrible. The acting was BAD, and the writing was even worse! I wish I never wasted my time on it.
The Conjuring was not inspired by the investigation of the Amityville Horror. The Perron family was first and completely separate. The Warren's investigated the Amityville house years later. The Conjuring 2 refers to Amityville in the beginning.
Oh thank god someone saw that. This channel is the epitome of "tell me you don't know what you're talking about without telling me you don't know what you're talking about."
I love horror movies, for me 2 really stand out. 1. The original exorcist I saw when I was 10 yrs old horrified me. If I watch it now it just looks silly, but back in 1973 the effects were top notch, and terrifying. 2. The grudge, that movie freaked me out. The way she looked and the gurgling noise she made, also the way she contorted her body. I have trouble even watching that movie today 😮
Damn man!! Your avatar is a fly!! I swatted at my phone thinking it was a real fly! We had a small recent fly problem in our house but they’re gone now! We hardly ever get flies in our house! Occasionally at times but not many
I know its not a horror, but Uncut Gems is another nonstop anxiety movie. Also Oppenheimer, but even though everybody seems to like it, I was very disappointed not to say it was a bad movie just not what I was hoping for.
@@Ellie-i7q-t5w That is because the scary part of it is what so called religious people are doing to a person who has mental health issues or not even that.
I saw Candyman in the theaters when it came out, I was 13 and afterwards wouldn't sleep by myself for months... I just finally worked up the courage to watch it again recently, still scares the crap outta me.
@@Baeslayer yeah. It's in my top 10. As a complete story, the kills, the soundtrack, the nightmare of slavery, the ghost story of revenge, the cultural framework at cabrini green. The coldness in the way it was filmed. The ending. The way Trevor got his karma for being a P.O.S. was epic. The bees crawling out of Tony Todd's mouth.. this movie is a modern masterpiece of horror.. hell, on some days it is number 1 for me..
The scariest horror movie that I've ever watched is The Haunting from 1963. It is absolutely terrifying with it's suspense and overall tension. The psychological terror that the main character goes through is nothing short of unnerving.
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?”
When I was little, my family wouldn’t let me watch ‘horror’ movies because I thought they were stupid and would MST3K them. Drove them crazy. HOWEVER, The Child Catcher from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang freaked me out.
A lot of great, scary movies on the list. Imo, the most underrated horror movie is 1408. I was raised on horror movies, and have a high tolerance for scares. No other movie has ever scared me more as an adult!
It's one of my favorite scary movies, like The Hills Have Eyes 2006 and Sinister 2012 and When A Stranger Calls 1979, so many scary moments, from the alarm clock, to the guy in the room with the hammer, to the only two windows of 1408 on the ledge, to the post office scene to his daughter dying in his arms and turning to ashes, so scary and so heartbreaking, Cusack should have gotten an Oscar for his performance.
Halloween does it for me. It's the most realistic horror film I've ever seen. There's very little gore and it just plays on natural human fear.Also the scary ass music throughout the film is fantastic!😎👍👍
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.
I can't imagine anything worse/greater than The Exorcist. I saw it in theaters when I was about 12 and it F'D me up😅. I took my then-fiance to see it when they re-released it around 2000. She was 30 at the time and had not seen it and frankly didn't know to much about it. It hit her the same way it hit me after all those years. I told myself then "that's why it will always be the scariest of all time. 😅😮
I never understood the Exorcist hype. Maybe back in the 70s it shocked a generation but no movies peak lasts forever. I was more affected by Juon the Grudge…
For me the scariest part of “Paranormal Activity” was the three and a half hours that the woman stood at the edge of the bed watching her husband sleep. 😳😱
Fun fact...the mask worn by the bad guy in Halloween was the face of William shatner who played Captain Kirk in the original Star Trek series... For me that was really scary to know!😱😂
Kinda surprised Child's Play (the first one), Scream, The Exorcism of Emily Rose, and Friday the 13th didn't make the list. I remember the first time I saw The Exorcist though, I actually fell asleep. I liked the book though. Did a book report on it in school.
There should be a "Top 50 Scariest Horror Movies of all time" list because so much great movies were left out such as "Saw" "Chucky" "Friday the 13th" etc
Same Still gives me chills, scares the crap out of me. I was like 10 or 11 when I first saw it. Had a hard time falling asleep for like a week or so after seeing it.
I was like 10 or 11 when I first saw it and I had such a hard time falling asleep for like a week or so after. Still scares the crap out of me to this day.
When The Blair Witch first came out me and a couple of my friends went to see it in the theaters and that’s when it was supposed to have been real…..we were shaking so bad when we left!! Omg it was so horrifying, but to me what was more horrifying was the fact that at the time we were told it was real and I couldn’t stop thinking about the families of the “victims” and how they were ok with having everyone see what happened to them. It was so heartbreaking to see!!! Then the female actress was in a Steak-n-Shake commercial and I was like uhhhh wtf!!??
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 Strangers is scary for another reason as well and that is that the killers in the movie really didn't have a motive other than we knocked you answerd
Hey, WatchMojo. Can you please do a list of the Top 10 Movie Studios That Don't Exist Anymore? Examples: Carolco Pictures Blue Sky Studios Republic Pictures RKO Studios
Many 80s horror movies are scary not in this list The Evil Dead Howling American werewolf in london Demons Night of the demons Friday the 13th ... For me the best one is in 1920s Nosferatu
I would have said when a stranger calls everytime the line “the call is coming from inside the house” and when the power goes out I get goosebumps everytime
Carrie? Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978)? Copycat? Suspiria (1977)? Long Weekend? Black Christmas (1974)? Come on, you can't be serious with this list. ALIEN is a masterpiece tho
The movie Carrie the original scared crap outta me I was too scared to close my eyes in the shower for years scared my mum was hiding behind door waiting to pounce me with knife 😂😮
I've enjoyed both editions of IT, but the updated version definitely got me with the jump-scares. 😂 There are so many fantastic movies on this list! And I have to say that, while the premise of It Follows *sounds* ridiculous, it was really well done. I STILL get chills when I think of the scene where it's on the roof.
Hereditary is among one of THE greatest modern horror films of all time. It’s absolutely excruciating and soul crushing, yet truly amazing film. Hands down it’s one of the greatest for sure
Yep and I'll never watch it a second time for that reason. The scene in the car, not going into super detail in case someone cares about spoilers for an older movie, fucks with me hard.
The 2017 “IT” remake was the only movie in my entire life that ever truly scared the shit out of me. I honestly was left on edge at night while trying to sleep. It was definitely scarier than the original.
They completely ignored the most terrifying horror movie ever JAWS unlike ghost movies and supernatural bs shark attacks are real and the way the movie exposes the audience to it is unmatched how many people have refused to go swimming since seeing it that movie engines fear unlike anything else REAL FEAR

Yes!
Same with Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978) and Alien (1979)
Where's Suspiria!??? Or anything close to a Dario Argento masterpiece? Half the movies listed are like Saturday morning cartoons!

THANKS
A personal favorite of mine is As Above, So Below. Did not make the list, but I would ALWAYS recommend that movie to anyone if they would like to be scared.
one of the best!
The ending messed me up!
I liked it because they incorporated alchemical facts about Nicholas flamel and the philosophers stone.
‘28 Days Later.’
‘28 Weeks Later.’
Very soon…
‘28 Years Later.’
The complete trilogy!
It should have been 28 Months Later not Years
😂😂
To me some of the best horror movies don't ever have a lot of blood and gore. The psychological thrillers are so much better
Have you seen "Copycat" (1995)?
Event horizon 😉😁
What are your favorite horror movies?
Shining
@sandrasausville9103 👍👍👍
Wes Craven’s ‘A Nightmare on Elm Street’ will be turning 40 this year.
That’s crazy to me! I just remember when it came out and I couldn’t sleep for nights. 😂
I Was 13.
wow that incredible it my favourite horror movie
Rest in power sweet icon. Freddy is ma man. Scream is ma shiz. But the early stuff... Has a special place in ma heart. This man was a gift. 💜
I wouldn't consider Silence Of The Lambs a horror movie. A suspense thriller for sure.
Me too. Psychological thriller for sure.
Serial killers who wear skin check
Terrifying set pieces check
Iconic horror hero check
I mean what makes this a thriller instead of a horror film. Big budget slasher imo
Was based off of Ed Gein. That man was the horror of all end
So true!
@@likeadollseyesstatuereview3808 It's not a horror.
The Spanish quarantine movie ‘Rec’ is indeed both horrifying and creative.
it's not zombies, it's a quarantine movie. It's infected like in The Last Of US. I agree though, that's a great one.
I like to rewatch that one a lot. The setting is so damn good with the winding staircase.
@@yannhollister9091Considering their religious type twists in the sequels
Is a masterpiece I love it, the did so much with so little.
I think Rec should be ranked higher on the list. Some of the movies in the top 10 are iconic but not scary.
Anthony Hopkins improv in the Silence of the Lambs is absolutely terrifying
Straight up chills. I can't even. Supreme. 💜

Am going to have to check thisvout
‘The Thing.’
One of the best science fiction-horror movies ever made.
One of the best remakes of all time.
i'm surprised you don't have people bashing you for liking the remake, honestly. but i love it also! it would have been way better if they'd been allowed to keep the practical effects and not redo it with occasionally mediocre cgi, but it still has a ton of grody body horror in that was great to watch.
I thought the remake, was actually a prequel
@@colescott2111it was. The 1982 one was actually a remake.
@@colescott2111 it is! it ends with the dog running to the camp in the original movie
For over 50 years, ‘The Exorcist’ is still my number one favorite horror movie.
The scariest that's for sure. Still can't watch it
Man I went on a rampage looking for it to watch free on streaming service because it's always on horror countdowns and I just watched hereditary and Ari Aster admitted taking influence from it so I figured it's time to watch it. Couldn't find it but watched Rosemary's baby instead which I liked and Ari also got influence from it too.
It's a classic that really sets an impossible bar to beat

Glad to see Hereditary in the top 10. Toni Collette not getting oscar for that role was a travesity.
Couldn’t agree more!
Both Alien and The Fly (1986) scared the hell out of me when I was a kid. Too bad I didn't see the latter on this list, the transformation process from Brundle to fly was truly horrifying in my opinion...
John Carpenter’s ‘Halloween’ is still one of my 12 most favorite slasher movie classics of all time.
Mine too.😊
12 seems a little random, one for each month? Lol
Absolutely! I freaking love Halloween!

While Saw is great, it’s not scary. It’s just gruesome killing. The first two Childs Play were definitely scary and should be on the list.

‘The Texas Chain Saw Massacre’ is still one of the best slasher movies ever made.

"The Fourth Kind" is one of the scariest films I've ever seen.
Yes! I think Fire in the Sky is right there with it too.
Pretty awesome! 👍
I'm not surprised the exorcist ranked #1
Poltergeist is ICONIC.
Sinister is hands down one of my favorite horror movies along with Insidious and Hereditary
You Should’ve Added Jeepers Creepers And 13 Ghosts.
13 ghosts scarred me as a child.
Loved 13 ghosts
darkness falls shouldve made this list. great movie and terrified me when i was a kid lol
For me the scariest part of “Paranormal Activity” was the three and a half hours that the woman stood at the edge of the bed watching her husband sleep. 😳😱
Fun fact...the mask worn by the bad guy in Halloween was the face of William shatner who played Captain Kirk in the original Star Trek series...
For me that was really scary to know!😱😂
the shining deserved #1 jack Nicholson's acting was insane
Can't wait for Top 40 Scariest Movie All The Time
Kinda surprised Child's Play (the first one), Scream, The Exorcism of Emily Rose, and Friday the 13th didn't make the list. I remember the first time I saw The Exorcist though, I actually fell asleep. I liked the book though. Did a book report on it in school.
The grudge traumatized me as a child 😂
the exorcist of Emily Rose was pretty intense
There should be a "Top 50 Scariest Horror Movies of all time" list because so much great movies were left out such as "Saw" "Chucky" "Friday the 13th" etc
The Exorcist is the one that scared me the most.
Yeah it is number 1 in my book. But Pet Sematary is close
Same
Still gives me chills, scares the crap out of me. I was like 10 or 11 when I first saw it. Had a hard time falling asleep for like a week or so after seeing it.

When The Blair Witch first came out me and a couple of my friends went to see it in the theaters and that’s when it was supposed to have been real…..we were shaking so bad when we left!! Omg it was so horrifying, but to me what was more horrifying was the fact that at the time we were told it was real and I couldn’t stop thinking about the families of the “victims” and how they were ok with having everyone see what happened to them. It was so heartbreaking to see!!! Then the female actress was in a Steak-n-Shake commercial and I was like uhhhh wtf!!??
Lmao same here. Thought about it for weeks. Even arguments started about it being real or not. Now its not even remotely scary.
I guess you didn't read the credits. They tell you it's not real.
The part at the end with him standing in the corner still gives me uneasy feeling to this day when I think of it
It didn’t scare me but it sure made me nauseous. I couldn’t wait for it to be over
I despised all three characters in THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT. I enjoyed their deaths.
So many horror movies I like 🍿. It’s hard to decide.
Ha Ha the same
Just fascinating from every single perspective 😊
Last year, John Carpenter’s ‘Halloween’ turned 45.
Fun fact: Stanley Kubrick was originally going to direct The Exorcist.
If he had been picked, the film would had been a thousand times worse!
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
Lol😂😂😂
Solid list. Had to give it a like for Halloween at 2 and Exorcist at 1.
In my opinion Get out isn’t a horror film to me… 🤷🏻♀️
Honorable mention “children of the corn” if you take it back in time that movie was scary as hell when I was younger
"Where evil lurks" directed by Demian Rugna from Argentina is truly scary. You can also watch "Terrified" Both are excellent horror films.
Yes I have heard that is really scary
Yasss 👏👏👏👏
Yeah the dog scene tripped me out
The Strangers is scary for another reason as well and that is that the killers in the movie really didn't have a motive other than we knocked you answerd
Hey, WatchMojo. Can you please do a list of the Top 10 Movie Studios That Don't Exist Anymore?
Examples:
Carolco Pictures
Blue Sky Studios
Republic Pictures
RKO Studios
Many 80s horror movies are scary not in this list
The Evil Dead
Howling
American werewolf in london
Demons
Night of the demons
Friday the 13th
...
For me the best one is in 1920s Nosferatu
I find it amazing that the actress and the child actor played the same character in both the Japanese and American versions of The Grudge
Yah and the6 didn’t even HAVE to fly all the way from Japan! I hope Hollywood was great ful..
Black Christmas 1974 is in my opinion the scariest horror film yet.
I agree.
I would have said when a stranger calls everytime the line “the call is coming from inside the house” and when the power goes out I get goosebumps everytime
Carrie? Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978)? Copycat? Suspiria (1977)? Long Weekend? Black Christmas (1974)? Come on, you can't be serious with this list. ALIEN is a masterpiece tho
The movie Carrie the original scared crap outta me I was too scared to close my eyes in the shower for years scared my mum was hiding behind door waiting to pounce me with knife 😂😮
I've enjoyed both editions of IT, but the updated version definitely got me with the jump-scares. 😂
There are so many fantastic movies on this list! And I have to say that, while the premise of It Follows *sounds* ridiculous, it was really well done. I STILL get chills when I think of the scene where it's on the roof.
Hereditary is among one of THE greatest modern horror films of all time. It’s absolutely excruciating and soul crushing, yet truly amazing film. Hands down it’s one of the greatest for sure
Yep and I'll never watch it a second time for that reason. The scene in the car, not going into super detail in case someone cares about spoilers for an older movie, fucks with me hard.
Hereditary was stupid and a horrible horror movie. Should not be in the top 10 at all.
Finally! It was laughable especially last 20 minutes@@anthonycairo9202
So good that I was asleep halfway through the movie 😂
Katie scares me WAY more then Freddy, jason, myers, and the exorcist girl. Paranormal activity is the scariest movie to me.😬
I love horror movies
The 2017 “IT” remake was the only movie in my entire life that ever truly scared the shit out of me. I honestly was left on edge at night while trying to sleep. It was definitely scarier than the original.
So no jeepers creepers?
How Friday the 13th didn't make the cut is very interesting to say the least
They completely ignored the most terrifying horror movie ever JAWS unlike ghost movies and supernatural bs shark attacks are real and the way the movie exposes the audience to it is unmatched how many people have refused to go swimming since seeing it that movie engines fear unlike anything else REAL FEAR
You missed JAWS and An American Werewolf in London.
Ringu (1998) >>>>> the ring (2002)
