I can't really explain why...but in terms of my reaction the scariest film I ever saw was Predator.
I get scared at all horror films really, ha!
However I watched The Candy Man when I was about 13 and that truly disturbed me! To this day i can't watch it and still shudder when i think of the film; i have never been able to look in a mirror the same way.
Also, any horror films with kiRAB in them scares the hell outta me; The Ring, The Omen etc. It's just so wrong!

they are all subjective, so it is impossible to name "the" scariest horror film ever made, only the horror film that scares you the most
for me, the last film that had me not scared, but unsettled all the way through it, was the american remake of "The Ring" and i know some people will dismiss that as ridiculous
before that, the last film to generate equal discomfort was "Candyman", i guess i find urban legenRAB and myths disturbing

Is that what its called ?? *shudder* 
I will try to answer this question to as what film gives me my perfect horror fix, and explain why the film appeals to my taste.
1. THE SHINING. This film has everything of which I love, ghosts, isolation, a child character who draws you in through his fear, eerie twin girls and the great Jack Nicholson and Shelley Duvall. This is a film which I can watch over and over and never get bored by it. I think it is good how Jack is influenced by 'Lloyd' the butler and starts to see the ghosts as real, but yet does not see that son 'Andy' is experiencing his own horrors at the 'Overlook Hotel'. The Shining has to be one of the best films ever made.
2. HOSTEL. Now I am not saying that 'Hostel' is one of my favourites, as there are much better films which I could mention. I have put this in my top five simply because it makes you think, 'this could actually be happening somewhere out there'. So many people go missing each year and are never found again! The story of this film is not far from the impossible and that alone is a very scary thought.
3. BLACK CHRISTMAS (1974). I love watching this at Christmas when it is on. It takes me back to childhood being one of the creepiest films I had ever seen. All the sick and twisted phone calls and women going missing, leading up to the police tracing the calls from the same house! What would be more nerve wrecking than realising that the killer is in the same house as you? You are thinking why don't they just get the hell out of there, but that would be to simple and we wouldn't have a film
The scene where he is rocking the girl suffocated by a plastic bag creeps me out the most.
4. ZOMBIE FLESH EATERS. Now yes it is dated but this was the film that gave me nightmares after watching it, when I was about 12, before it was then banned I should add. Zombie was nothing like I had ever seen before, it scared me to death. Even now I have the Italian import DVD of this film and never watch it alone or in the dark. For this reason, I feel Lucio Fulci (Godfather Of Gore), 'Zombie2' deserves a mention in my list.
5. THE WICKER MAN (1973). Such a brilliant portrayed film. WorRAB to describe, Cult, Festivals, Harvest, Sacrifice, Purity, Belief and Power. It is really scary, the control and influence over people, one person can have. You feel emptiness when 'Edward Woodward' is burnt at the end. You just feel sheer disbelief, like he is a police man, he must escape.
Anyway OP hope you like my top 5 and reasons for choosing them.

Years ago, The Exorcist was meant to be the scariest film. But I didn't find it scary at all.
When it comes to films and music then you really have to judge them in the context of their time. I can't see anyway somebody growing up today would find the Exorcist as scary as when it was released, times have moved on and I think especially now people see so much and have so much at their fingertips that it's all but impossible to get a reaction from a film like they would have had back then.
It's a shame really, I would love to have witnessed the Exorcist back then in a time before the internet and the modern digital age.

The Innocents (Deborah Kerr played the governess) scared the wits out of me in my early teens. Its not overtly horrific but I still find it very spooky and I won't watch it on my own.

I dunno, but most horror films especially leave me wondering what the fuss is about. I must admit though that I love the what's going to happen next factor of the Final Destination franchise.
Found [REC] boring possibly because there was no supernatural element to it. The supposed scare at the end left me wondering what the fuss was about.
