Final Destination 2 didnt scare me but it kept me really thinking because its more likely to happen than other blood and gore films and it has more of a plotline. sure the thoughts kept me awake a little bit longer, but it didnt flat out scare the crap out of me. its a great movie though.

i just saw "Nightmare On Elm Street," or at least, the last 3/4ths of it...I don't know, it seemed like Freddy was a big-ass wuss in the final confrontation...although the scene where she wakes up, and thinks she failed to bring him into the real world, and then he pops up from behind the bed...I knew it was gonna happen, but it still scared the shit outta me...
and then, another movie, "Ginger Snaps." It's a great movie, surprisingly bloody and violent since it's a canadian movie...and they had a chance to use computer effects near the end, but they stuck with the time-honored tradition of animatronic puppets and good edit cuts.

"The Omen" scared me somehow. I was never scared by traditional horror movies like "Childs play" or anything like that. But Omen really creeped me out.

Alfred Hitchcock films usually come to mind when i think of scary movies. He truly perfected the art of manipulation and the final scenes in The Birds, Rear Window and Psycho are proof of this.
One scene that always sends shivers down my spine is the climax of Rear Window. I won't ruin it for you but i find it truly frightening.
Recently the only films that i have found even remotely scary were the first two Scream films (don't even mention Scream 3)and The Ring. Drew Barrymores scene in Scream definitely has to be the most gut wrenching and hard to watch in recent memory.

Thunderous bump.
Last night I got held over at work until 4AM (which felt like 5AM thanks to the switch from Daylight Savings Time). We were watching Bravo and they had a marathon of their mini-series "The 100 Scariest Movie Moments." Needless to say, I haven't seen a lot of the ones in the horror genre, but some of them I do agree with. Here's their list, starting with #100:
100 28 Days Later 99 Creepshow 98 Zombie 97 Cat People 96 The Birds 95 Jurassic Park 94 Child's Play 93 Pacific Heights 92 Village of the Damned 91 Shallow Grave 90 Night of the Hunter 89 Alice Sweet Alice 88 Invasion of the Body Snatchers 87 Black Christmas 86 Wizard of Oz 85 Blood & Black Lace 84 Blue Velvet 83 The Others 82 Terminator 81 The Howling 80 Poltergeist 79 Dracula 78 The Brood 77 Signs 76 Evil Dead 75 Candyman 74 Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory 73 Blood Simple 72 Them! 71 The Sixth Sense 70 The Stepfather 69 Re-Animator 68 The Black Cat 67 Duel 66 The Tenant 65 Marathon Man 64 Near Dark 63 Deliverance 62 The Wolf Man 61 The Devil's Backbone 60 The Beyond 59 Fatal Attraction 58 Cujo 57 House of Wax 56 Single White Female 55 The Vanishing 54 The Changeling 53 Demons 52 The Phantom of the Opera 51 The Dead Zone 50 The Last House on the Left 49 Diabolique 48 The Thing 47 Nosferatu 46 The Sentinel 45 The Wicker Man 44 The Game 43 It's Alive! 42 An American Werewolf in London 41 The Hills Have Eyes 40 Black Sunday 39 Dawn of the Dead 38 Peeping Tom 37 House on Haunted Hill 36 Cape Fear 35 Aliens 34 The Hitcher 33 The Fly 32 Pet Sematary 31 Friday the 13th 30 Blair Witch Project 29 Serpent and the Rainbow 28 When a Stranger Calls 27 Frankenstein 26 Seven 25 Phantasm 24 Suspiria 23 Rosemary's Baby 22 Don't Look Now 21 Jacob's Ladder 20 The Ring 19 Hellraiser 18 The Haunting 17 A Nightmare on Elm Street 16 The Omen 15 Freaks 14 Halloween 13 Scream 12 Misery 11 Audition 10 Wait Until Dark 9 Night of the Living Dead 8 Carrie 7 Silence of the Lambs 6 Shining 5 Texas Chainsaw Massacre 4 Psycho 3 Exorcist 2 Alien 1 Jaws
Frankly, my bet with the midnights dispatcher was the top three would be (in no particular order) The Exorcist, The Shining, and Alien. This is also the woman who bet against me when I said Lex from Jurassic Park was not played by Kirsten Dunst and that the one kid from "Boy Meets World" did not play Tim.
