I'm sure this will spark a more broad conversation, but curious what people think is the scariest movie in terms of what many consider 'classic' horror movies. Have at it!
The scariest movie I’ve ever seen is a documentary on sleep paralysis called the nightmare. The trailer looks a bit campy but trust me. You will not sleep after watching this movie.
My favorite is Alien, but scariest for me is Excorcist. I still have a hard time watching that movie. It will give me nightmares.
One time I think. Had a dream about a dead woman with slashed throat. “Woke up” to see her standing in my bedroom door. Closed my eyes and tried to wake up again and this time she was inside the room. Started flailing around and finally woke up my partner who told me “it’s okay it’s only a dream.” When I got up the next morning I asked her about it and she said she never woke up or said anything to me. Don’t know if that was sleep paralysis, but it definitely freaked me out. Has this happened to you?Have you ever experienced that before? It's pretty wild.
I read an article just the other day where someone had done a study to try to determine the scariest movie by measuring heart rates. It was interesting, but the top 10 consisted of almost all newer films, and only a few of these classics made the list. I think really what they were measuring more was the jump scare and tenseness of a film, so some movies that are more dreadful and slow just don't measure up when looked at this way. Still interesting nonetheless.

That is a crazy ass dream. My experience was at a very young age maybe around 5. I've since read up on possibilities to what happened to me and the best most scientific explanation I've seen from people with similar experiences is you get caught right between falling sleep and awake. It's more common with kids and they can hallucinate. Either way whatever I saw in the ceiling that evening in my creepy basement bedroom scared me so bad I couldn't move. Was a really crazy experience.One time I think. Had a dream about a dead woman with slashed throat. “Woke up” to see her standing in my bedroom door.

I was hesitant to have The Shining as an option, but I know many think it's scary. I personally don't think it's scary in any way shape or form.
