Psycho vs The Shining vs The Exorcist
 

Showdown of possibly the three greatest and scariest horror films ever.

Overall, in scariness, better movie, etc Which is overall a better movie?

psycho. hands down.

All really cool flicks. I'll have to go with the Exorcist because it creeped me out when I saw it on the big screen about 4 years ago.

the only part in that movie that creeped me out or grossed me out or whatever was when she threw up. i hate vomit. i can handle blood and everything else but vomit makes me sick.

The Shining doesn't come close to touching the Exorcist or Psycho. There was nothing original about the Shining, though it was a tremendous film capable of holding it's own, just not against the Exorcist nor Psycho.

Psycho gave birth to the "slasher" genre and the Exorcist spawned the more sinister, religious/demon style of horror. The success of these two films is unmatched in the horror world, nothing comes close, Shining included.

I think the Shining is one of the creepiest movies ever made...the monster effects they did on Shelly Duvall...wait..what? that wasn't special effects???
Dang,,,that movie really was creepy.

Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer totally slays The Shining. Its one of the best flicks to come out of the states.

The Exorcist scared the fuck out of me when i was a kid. The other two didn't.

Exorcist. Hands down for me.

Obviously none other than ....PSYCHO

Definitely The Shining.
