Exorcist, even today, it gives me the creeps. As a matter of fact the last time I was watching it on CBS, I was shaving and when the head started to turn, the shaving became easier because the hair were standing on its ends.. My next vote would be 'The Omen'..

Saw "Exorcist" on initial release; must say it was not that scarey to
me, but I was an adult, if i were a child, would have probably been scared
witless. I cracked up laughing when Reagan's head did a 360; don't
know if it had anything to do with me being stoned or not. Believe
the film was voted as scariest of all time on the Internet Movie Database site. - AH

That's the first one that came to my mind as well. I remember seeing the Exorcist when it first came out at a theater in Westweird. To this day, I can't say why it's so creepy, but I vividly recall the chills that ran down my spine as we contemplated taking a short cut down a dark alley to the car, no way, I'm staying in the light!

  By coincidence, my brother-in-law and sister took me (age 13) and my cousins (similar ages) to see it on opening day in Westwood. I think we were all permanently traumatized by the experience, but I did buy Oldfield's "Tubular Bells" album at the corner Wherehouse store. Took me a month before I'd play it, though.
  Trauma II: A few years later at my aunt's wedding, the best man was actor Tom Skeritt. I asked him about his experience stuck with Racquel Welch in a sleeping bag in the film "Fuzz". He gave me the impression that he had better chemistry with a two by four, but he also told me that he just finished a role on a fun sci-fi film called "Alien". So I went to see this "fun" film on opening night and nearly had a heart attack from the suspense.

    Interesting coincedence. I'll bet that was a quiet ride home.
    Alien is up there, certainly for suspense, but I always tend to laugh at monster flicks. OTOH, sharing a sleeping bag with Sigourney Weaver sounds like more fun to me.
