From scarriest to least scary of the top ten:
1.Trillogy of Terror 2 (the puppet thing robbed me of many hours of sleep when i was young, even if this whole movie is a bit cheesy)
2.Nightmare on Elm St. 2 (again, loss of a lot of child-sleep)
3.The Exorcist (part where she's crab walking down the stairs)
4.Hellbound Hellraiser 2 (horrifying concept)
5.Last House on the Left (really this movie was just extremely saddening to me)
6.Alien 2 (just because of the facehugger skittering around when Newt tries to sleep)
7.Texas Chainsaw Massacre (the first, origional one. It's got very practical camera angles with not a lot of the suspensful music overdub which makes the scene where leatherface smacks the kid with a hammer unpleasently bizzar and macabre. Like "What... did... did that just happen? Holy crap, that's fucked up.")
8.Creepshow 2 (the second story about the thing in the water was very creepy)
9.The Hills Have Eyes (crazy ass cannibles raping women and trying to eat babies. Not really scarry just horrific and disturbing)
10.The Beyond (the main zombie in this is really terrifying. if i saw it in my house i'd piss my pants)
A lot of people will probably disagree with me on almost every one of those, but to hell with it. They scared or had an impact on me.
The only literature that has frightened me are stories by H.P. Lovecraft. Mainly "The Lurking Fear". Check it out.

Nice list, I strongly agree with you on many of those, mostly The Exorcist crab walking scene. Holy shit, I was scared to look at stairsets for weeks after.
