Confession: I've seen a truckload of horror movies. But the one that had me the very scaredest, tensest?

Jeepers Creepers.

I saw that first as a rental, not in the theater; alone at night, everyone else in bed. During that first sequence, I was strung so tight, I was actually tempted to fast-forward — me, big forty-something horror veteran! I swear, if one of the cats had brushed me from behind, you'd've had to peel me off the ceiling.

After that come a bunch of good ones. Alien probably at the top, but followed by the original Nightmare on Elm Street, the original Salem's Lot (surprisingly good for a TV movie), the original The Thing (remake's good, too; just a different movie), not sure how to categorize Aliens but it's great... and a stack of others.

I also posted Jeepers Creepers.

I don't even like horror films...can't get into them. But, for a movie with a teens in trouble storyline, the demon character in Jeepers Creepers is scary.

Not so scary the second time around.

Forgot to mention The Omen.
