The Exorcist is the queen mother of all horror films, as far as I'm concerned. Interestingly, I find the edited for TV version more frightening. Why? Because I felt like the profanity provided a sort of comedy relief. Without the hilarious "cocksucker" & "fuck me" lines, you're forced to take the movie much more seriously.
Halloween (the original, thank you very much) still makes me paranoid. I got to see it at the drive-in when it was released. I was 4 at the time, so my mother made me cover my eyes during certain scenes. LOL
The Shining is always creepy. There's just something about the whole mood of the film; the isolation aspect, the snow, the cinematography (bright red colors contrasting against bright whites; a common occurrence in Kubric films), the old woman in the bathtub, the blood pouring out of the elevators, etc.
Pumpkinhead had it's moments. Evil Dead (the first one) was certainly creepy.
I'm just glad I'm not as desensitized as so many other horror fans. I've been watching this stuff since I was a kid, but I still get creeped out. However, I've found that absolutely none of the new stuff (anything made after about 1989) scares me.
