Shining still scariest this Halloween

Stanley Kubrick's classic 1980 movie The Shining has been named the scariest horror film ever, topping a list of 100 scary movies by top film website Totalscifionline.com.

Rosemary's Baby, by controversial director Roman Polanski came in second place, while British cult classic The Wicker Man, famous for Britt Ekland
 
It's greatest not scariest, there's a difference. Unless of course you consider Shaun of the dead (85) a scarier film than [REC] (90), Audition (92) or Candyman (100)
 
Can't disagree with any of those three films. Three amazing horror movies.:cool:

I think Rosmarys Baby has got to be one of the bleakest endings to a movie ever. The audiance invests so much in Rosmary and all the way along you trust in her to be the only one to do the decent thing. So when, right at the very end, she turns her back on her religion and on doing the right thing and actually starts to tend to the child, it really is like a punch in the stomach.
 
I don;t think the Shining is scary at all.I never saw it as a "Horror" film.More of a thriller maybe.The book blows the film away too.Kubrick killed it.
 
I loved The Shining when I saw it at the cinema when it first came out early eighties,and I still love watching it on DVD a couple of decades latter. Its a real classic masterpiece.
 
So would I ... when that ball came down the stairs ... for the second time, it sent shivers down my spine.

There was no customery 'bolo punch ' in this film, it was subtle and chilling to the end.


I love George C Scott.
