Of that list, definitely Psycho.


I watched Psycho for the first time a few months ago and didn't find it even a little bit scary.

Maybe it's because I knew what to expect, but I was very disappointed. Pretty good movie. Not scary at all.
 
Maybe I'm just a hipster but The Exorcist is really the only scary one on that list to me?

Thinking of where the world was at the time it came out and the subject matter puts it on another level compared to any old slasher flick, imo.
 
The two movies that I find to be the scariest are The Haunting and a gem of an Italian horror film that never gets enough attention called, Killl Baby... Kill! (I know, stupid title). Of course, everything is subjective when it comes to what is scary.
 
Exorcist completely fucked me up - just uneasy feelings and a few weird happenings while viewing it.

Fuck that shit.
 
One, two, Freddy's coming for you.
Three, four, Better lock your door.
Five, six, Grab a crucifix.
Seven, eight, Gonna stay up late.
Nine, ten, Never sleep again....

ANoES really suffers from shitty sequels. The original is so god damned good.
 
The Shining is an excellent movie but is anyone actually frightened by it?
