Boston.com's Top 50 Scariest Movies Of All Time

[Section 40]

Halloween and Nightmare on Elm Street were outstanding.
Halloween because Mike Myers fit in with everyone else who was dressed up for Halloween but was slaughtering everyone who got in his way and Freddy Krueger was, well, Freddy Kreuger. Freddy gets bonus points for turning Johnny Depp into liquid....

i didn't look at the list.. is Salem's Lot on there?

also concur that an omission of Poltergeist immediately makes this a bogus list.

Scariest movie of all time...

Really?

A 800lb man would be tough to kidnap....and I am sure there are more than a few insomniacs in the world......there are always exceptions. Must you always point mine out.



FYI mastermind as defined in 2 of its uses is clearly acceptable for use when describing criminals. But I let that go!

For somebody with a milano in the family, I thought you'd be more in tune with the history and eye-opening statistics regarding blacks and swimming (particularly in the U.S.).


And I'm sorry you didn't get my mastermind joke (if you're a 'master' of something, it shouldn't fail...get it?).

Stephen King's IT scared the livin bejesus out of me when I was younger (even though its technically a mini-series and not a movie)

[Aintthatapip]

Jaws, IT, and the the first Blair Witch(only because of where i lived at the time).


I used to be convinced a great white was going to come out of the grates on the bottom of my local swimming pool. Scariest movie ever, and Quints speech about the Indianapolis is still one of the greatest speeches in movie history.
