Two of my absolute favorites are on the list: The Exorcist and The Haunting. Just READING The Exorcist I had to sleep with the lights on. The only other thing creepier in the movie is the little boy standing by the curtain in Three Men and a Baby. I've never had any explanation of who he is or how he got there. -- Liz, 10/29/09 3:10pm

There is no little boy by the curtain, according to snopes.com, it's a cut out of Tom Sellect someone put there as a joke. -- Ellie~there's no hanging munchkin in "The Wizard of Oz" either, lol!, 10/29/09 11:31pm

I agree with the list pretty much - I thought the original The Haunting was the scariest movie EVER without using any special effects -- Amy, 10/29/09 9:22pm

I think the list is pretty much right on, but I would switch #1 & #2. -- Ellie, 10/29/09 11:29pm

Does anyone remember Patty McCormack in the "Bad Seed." Although it wasn't a horror film, there was such a presence of evil. "What will you give me for a basket of kisses?" -- Liz, 10/30/09 10:49am

what happened to really top-class-scary-movies? i mean, look at all the remakes like haunted hill etc. even with crap technology at the time people were able to scare the shit out of house .. today, at best they make me laugh, but most of them are just appaling. House of Wax .. egh ... -- béla (retching), 10/30/09 11:48am

The Others with Nicole Kidman I thought was very good - it was scary without being gross. But I think that's about 10 years old or more. The classic movie channel is showing all Boris Karloff's movies, he was scary without even doing anything! -- Amy, 10/30/09 3:41pm

What about all the great Vincent Price movies? "The Tomb of Lygea" was a classic. I just loved his voice. He also did a movie called "Dragonwyck" with Jean Simmons which was kind of a dark, gothic film. That was great, too. -- Liz, 10/30/09 6:20pm

Yeah, really, so she clubbed the little boy to death with her shoe & threw him in the river, no big deal.... -- Ellie~that's a blond for ya! ;), 11/ 1/09 9:17am

I thought burning the caretaker to death in the cellar was a nice touch. Aunt Monica is lucky Rhoda disappeared before she tried to get her bird. -- Liz, 11/ 1/09 10:32am

Ohhh, that's right!! Didn't she use the hay for his bed to fuel the fire? Or am I remembering wrong? Darn~it's been ages since I've seen this movie, gonna go add it to my Netflix queu... -- Ellie~watch out for little blond girls in ruffle dresses!!!, 11/ 1/09 4:05pm

Ellie, you've got it totally correct. He saved the excelsior from all the boxes and packages and made a bed for himself out of it, and she took the matches and set him on fire. I think his name was LeRoy. -- Liz, 11/ 1/09 9:44pm

Liz is right, Poule. She'll find you & ask you "What will you give me for a basket of kisses?" & boy, you better answer right!!!!! -- Ellie~couldn't remeber if it's a basket of kisses or hugs....damn memory!, 11/ 2/09 9:09pm

I saw Burnt Offerings on telly, cheesy horror flick from the 70's with surprisingly good cast including Bette Davis! Oliver Reed and Karen Black (who's creepy without even trying) - pretty good for B movie cheese. -- Amy, 11/ 2/09 9:09am

I was a huge fan of Oliver Reed. I know he liked his alcohol and was a bit of a carouser, but I thought he was really wonderful actor. He was a wonderful Bill Sykes, and a fabulous Athos in the two musketeer movies. He was great in Gladiator until he passed away during its filming. -- Liz, 11/ 2/09 10:10am
