I don't know about best, but it's one of the scariest. It was based on true events. And the Bible tells us that demonic possession is a fact. The only truly, truly scary horror movies are the plausible ones like
The Exorcist. The rest are basically fairy tales.
As the Bible reminds:
'For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places." — Ephesians 6:12

Anything with Barbara Steisand in it tops my list of horror flicks.

I didn't realize how scarring The Shining was until I watch Ready Player One over the summer. In case you missed it, the movie is chock full of pop culture references and The Shining figured prominently in those.
There was one character that hadn't seen The Shining that kept stumbling into different "events" -- the elevator, the twins, Room 237, the hedge maze, and the typed pages all were included.
"Getting" the references as they were occurring made me realize just how much these things were burned into my memory.

I agree, but it has to be the version before subliminals were taken out.

Yep...best horror movie of all time.
I recall seeing it when I was in graduate school at the student center. A bunch of college kids got drunk and went to go see it. At various points in the movie, they would jointly poke fun ad the scary moments...up until the final exorcism began. From that point, you couldn’t hammer a nail up anyone’s sphincter in the whole audience. The final scene was literally heckle-proof.

Blair Witch was pretty scary at the time, but has not held up well. It was perhaps the first seriously successful online viral marketing campaign. Widespread web access was still pretty new, and the site was pretty convincing, like something a local researcher or historical society would put together. The invention of the entire myth and local lore was brilliant including even news clips of the local sheriff discussing the disappearance of the kids, photos of old documents, etc. Anybody who explored the site before the movie, would have had a much more founded fear (albeit, one founded in fiction).
Too many movies since have tried to capitalize on the shaky footage gimmick, and now it's just annoying.

“The Thing” with Kurt Russell is way way up there...better than the Exorcist.

Do not neglect The Ring.
And Nightmare on Elm Street was one very scary movie.
And Phantasm.

Scared me more than any other movie. I was in the sixth grade and watched it on TV back in 1979.

The original black & white ‘Night of the Living Dead’ scared the piss out of me when I was 12 years old. I was watching it on ‘The Ghoul’ at 1a.m. around 1978 or so.

Something about the “Paranormal Activities” movies sent a tingle up my spine. Anything that involves messing with me while I’m asleep freaks me out.
