RE: I’m a horror fan. I’d be curious to see your list of scariest & most
I'll be honest, this will probably be hard for me. I'm horrible at creating lists, and with many of them I will have a hard time deciding between "scariest" vs "disturbing". Some are clear-cut, some are both, and some don't really fit either. I may add a third list for those that I like that might not really fit either "scariest" or "disturbing" very well. I might also have a hard time with "scariest" because I don't really get scared when it comes to movies, so I'm kind of guessing as to what would be considered "scary" in a traditional sense. I'll try my best, haha.

I'll also stick to movies that I enjoy for these lists, which may not be helpful because I love all kinds of horror films - from campy/corny to super well done - and from comedy to serious and dark. I'm VERY forgiving and not very critical when it comes to the genre. Also, there is no particular order within the lists.

Scariest:
-REC
-The Orphanage
-The Babadook
-Halloween (this one can pretty much encompass all of them - including the Rob Zombie Halloween films)
-The Thing (1982 version)
-The Conjuring movies
-IT (both the made for TV movie and the newer movies)
-The Ring
-The Texas Chain Saw Massacre
-The Sixth Sense
-28 Days Later

Disturbing:
-Orphan
-Midsommar
-Hereditary
-The Skeleton Key
-The VVitch
-Get Out
-Creep 1 & Creep 2
-Insidious movies
-Sinister & Sinister 2

Maybe neither or I couldn't decide, but still great:
-Let the Right One In
-Summer of '84
-Tucker and Dale vs Evil
-The Shining
-The Omen (original)
-Carrie (original)
-The Exorcist
-Poltergeist
-Shaun of the Dead
-Alien
-Child's Play movies
-Cloverfield
-The Cabin in the Woods
-Zombieland
-Dawn of the Dead

Lol, I kind of gave up in the end. I have such a hard time categorizing many of them. Also, I'm sure that as soon as I post this I'll remember others that should be included.
