Scariest Horror Movies Ever

What makes up a scary horror movie? Scary music, lonely and dark backgrounds, an amazing story and the most important the main reason which makes this movie a horror. Now, the reason can be anything; a curse, a monster, a serial killer or an alien. This main antagonist turns this whole film around, makes it more horrifying, and often scares you out of your wits. So let's get ready to get those goose bumps, here are some of the amazing films.

The Exorcist
One of the scariest films ever made, The Exorcist gave horror a new definition. This film maintains its suspense without getting too dependent on the amazing effects and make up. It is scary on the whole, not just in bits and pieces. This is undoubtedly one of the most frightening films of all time.

Amityville Horror
This 1978 classic still scares me to death. The story begins with a family moving into a big house in Amityville, New York. Then strange things begin to happen, black viscous matter comes from the toilet and holy men hear strange voices. Red eyes peer through the windows at night. Many people call it an Exorcist rip off, but it sure scared the hell out of many.

The Shining
I have never read a Stephen King novel and I don't know how great his work is, but I know that Stanley Kubrick did a great job making this movie. This movie still scares the hell out of me. Take any list of scary movies and you will find The Shining in the top 10 category. The story, the actor, the music, the hotel everything is scary about The Shining.

Se7en
I think Kevin Spacey's acting makes Se7en a cult classic, but you just cannot ignore the brilliant performances of Brad Pitt, Morgan Freeman and Gwyneth Paltrow. Don't forget the scene in which the decomposed victim is still breathing, and the movie has not shown one scene of sunshine. This is true horror.

The Ring
It is rare that an American movie inspired from a Japanese film is worth watching, well The Ring is. Not only is it worth watching, it is also one of the scariest movies of all time. The entire story is focused upon a video tape that shouldn't be watched which makes it one of the scariest horror movies of the decade.

Psycho
This is the movie that started it all, the best work of Alfred Hitchcock, Psycho came out in 1960 and since then has been voted as one of the most scariest horror movies ever made. Even when animation and graphics were not yet discovered, Psycho still scared audiences worldwide.
