The Ring - Oh, pul-ease
The only thing The Ring had going for it was the scary thing (girl) wasn't obliterated at the end so everyone could breathe a sigh of relief and then nervously laugh. Okay, and Naomi Watts is eye candy. It was trite, ugly and rather boring.
The Blair Witch Project had more suspense than The Ring. Speaking of which, why didn't the Blair Witch Project make your poll? Oh, yeah, I forgot it's out of date and therefore not worthy of anyone's time or attention....
Don't you get it? The older scary movies that are on your list have withstood the test of time and are scaring people who see them all over again. Now, would you like to revise your poll and have something really scary on it, timelessly scary.... or just the current scare whip?
The !@#!@# ring? Que estupido!
Seems like this is more of a popularity contest than a poll. I'm willing to bet that most of the people who voted for The Ring and The Shining have never seen any of the other movies on this list.
Scary.....
How come 'The Grudge' isn't on here? I thought it was a pretty good movie. 'Texas Chainsaw Massacre' and 'Saw' are also missing.
[Note: I don't know why 'Halloween' is here...it's not even scary...]
The Shining? C'mon!
What was scary about The Shining? Other than Jack Nicholson's "Here's Johnny!" ax-through-the-door, I thought it was extremely boring.
I think about that movie when walking down the seemingly miles-long hall to my apartment. I don't think about it when I'm trying to get scared.
I agree with the scary books thesis. Stephen King has written dozens of really good books, but none of the scary ones have been made into decent movies. Think about it- his best movies were The Green Mile, Stand by Me, and Shawshank Redemption.
King's horror is very scary: when it's in your imagination. When it's put on the screen it's usually just gross (think Dreamcatcher) or cheesy (The Stand) or boring (The Shining).
You want scary? Think about Nancy Pelosi as House Majority Leader!

Out of all the choices The Ring would be my last choice. The Exorcist is the best because it seems to be more realistic. They are all great movies don't get me wrong. I never get nightmares after watching scary movies because I know it can't happen. Can you say that about The Exorcist??
