It's probably thought of more as a thriller, but Silence of the Lambs just gets me every time. Few movies have filled me with as much dread as the scenes where Hannibal escapes his cell and the ending in Bill's basement. And the "puts the lotion on it's skin" scene where Bill mimics the girl's screams just disturbs in a way I've never felt in any other movie.

Glad I'm not the only one that got frightened by Zodiac. Something about Dealins and making the camera and lighting help create an freaky, unstable, unknown mood.

Of course classics like The Shining and The Thing would be near the top of my list, but if I chose one I didn't think would get picked by many people I'd go with Jacobs Ladder. Definitely a psychological horror film that is scary for what it doesn't show than what it does.

Zodiac is the last great mystery thriller. Even leaving the theater at 2pm the film left you looking over your shoulder and leaving you sleepless that night at the even the most slightest of sounds. But where I got a great scare from Zodiac was watching it at night alone in a resort town home and at the point in the film where Gylenhall starts poking around in Max Fleschiers basement, a cleaning person opened the front door and walked into the living area. It was a scare for both of us. He had the wrong home.

'zodiac' is such a fantastic, atypical choice. that movie creeps the hell of out me. eerie doesn't even begin to describe it. probably fincher's best, and one of the best movies of the past 10 years.

For classic horror my pick is "Dead of Night" from 1945.

Bobcat Godthwait's new movie WILLOW CREEK should be considered for next year's list.

Great list. I haven't seen The Beyond, so now I know what I'm watching tonight.

What, no "Exorcist"? Okay, that's an easy one so I get it. One that scared the bejeezus outta me as a kid was "The Picture of Dorian Gray". It's dark noir styling and its cerebral concepts about the corruption of the soul left a permanent impression as well as planting the seed to explore in more detail the wonders and artistry of film.
