What's up.
Now I'm new to this forum and I did care to do some research but I haven't found a thread with my exact question so redirect me if you feel the need. :p

Lately I've been watching all kind of horror movies because what the hell I love them however, as for all of you, I try to cherry pick because I don't want to waste hundreds of minutes on boring productions.
I've been on all kinds of websites trying to find the "scariest movies of all time." I was really disappointed!
Looking around the forum I figured out that the definition of "scary" changes from people to people.
Therefor, I'm just gonna list what I think IS scary, what I think IS NOT, and if your taste matches mine, tell me what are the movies you were the MOST scared of. If your taste doesn't match mine, you may discuss. ;)

Here's what IS scary:
Gloomy atmosphere
Jump scares
Ghosts/poltergeists
Not getting used to seeing the bad guys/monsters (so they stay scary)
Movies that are scary (in no particular order)
Nosferatu
White Noise
Paranormal Activity (very much!)
The Grudge
The Ring
Psycho (I've only seen the remake yet)
Amityville Horror
Insidious (VERY scary up until it becomes an action movie in the last 10 minutes and I got bored)
It
1408

Here's what IS NOT scary:
Blood/gore
Zombies
Action
Seeing the monsters so much that we get used to them (you know what I mean)
Movies that were disappointingly NOT SCARY (in no particular order either)
The Exorcist (seriously? scars and vomit?)
The Shining (excellent movie, but just one or two scary scenes)
Jaws (I loved it... as a family movie!)
The Silence of the Lambs (drama/thriller... suspense at best, but not scary)
Dawn of the Dead
28 Days/Months Later
Alien
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre

Now, just to be clear, if the movie isn't scary (to me), it doesn't mean it is bad. I don't want to offend anybody: The Silence of the Lambs is probably my favorite movie of all time, but I REALLY don't think it deserves to be in a "scary" movie list. Same with Jaws and Alien!
In fact, most of the movies I find scary are poor in all other aspects... and the movies I find not scary are usually pretty good productions.

What do you think? Do I have terrible taste? Am I scared by the wrong things? If you agree with me, tell me some of the movies that scared you the most. Pleaaase!!

Good night!
