To me, the 1951 version of The Thing was the most disturbing. I was only 8 at the time and I had gone to a Sat. matinee with my older sister to see (supposedly) Demetrius and the Gladiators. But the theater had advertised the wrong a movie and it was The Thing instead. I had nightmares for months after that movie. The scene where the man puts an electric blanket over the chunk of ice (which contains the alien) is still vivid in my mind. I will never forget it. I have not seen the newer version of the movie.
or, "Wait until Dark" - Audrey Hepburn
They’re talking about the 1971 version. The 2005 version carried the original book title, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
Nothing by Vincent Price??
BTW, the 1956 “Body Snatchers” was scary enough.
Especially the part where the entire town population is told to report and pick up their seed pods that will turn them into soulless aliens.
Obamacare, anyone?
That was a freaky movie.
Oh I see....

We watched “The Thing” a couple weeks ago. Excellent.
Arachnophobia makes me jump out of my chair when that little spider jumps onto the paper the guy is reading. Eek!
LOL..
Some of those really old movies are scary in a unique way. No blood and guts. Not usually flashy actors involved, very little added sex appeal to the story. just the eerie black and white frames with simple doom music.
“When a Stranger Calls” gave me nightmares as a teenager, and “The Skeleton Key” is the creepiest movie I’ve seen in a long time.
I agree Open Water because it is based on true story.
Friend of mine saw it while on acid.
An Inconvenient Truth... or is that a comedy?
Where’s The Omen? Should be in the top ten. Also Halloween and Jaws are both way underrated in this list.
Tastes are subjective of course but the Saw series, the Hostel series and Wolf Creek aren’t scary, just sadistic.
“Carpenter’s The Thing was quite disturbing.”
I always thought their music was great. Don’t remember that particular song though.
In Cold Blood
That and the walk of the ghost.
The Grudge, on the other hand, freaked me out to no end.
