I believe it was Hitchcock that said scaring people is relatively easy---all you have to do is hide behind a door and jump out shouting "Boo!"
The skill comes into play, as I see it, in scaring the bejezsus out of a viewer by not resorting to unnecessary onscreen violence, or easy tricks.
The most scary flicks are the ones that scare one psychologically. The ones which one thinks of later and feels those tiny hairs raising up, and a feeling of deep unease at being alone.
My contender for the best: "The Vanishing" (original Dutch version). It's the scariest because it's the most reasonable and believable; the monster is "normal." Any pretenders to this masterpiece's position??
