Perverted? Yes. However, it's the lady whose doing all of the perversion. I cannot recommend this movie highly enough. Check out May as well for some genuinely freaky moments.

45Don't Look Now does so of those awful, unsettling moments better than almost anything.
As said previously, The Thing is superb. The Fog has its moments, though Ghostly Pirates are certainly no Snakes on no planes.
From the Eastern part of the world, I liked Dark Water and the first Ju On film which has a "no, you're not even safe under the duvet" moment which is aces. Also The Eye is a decent scary film.
The Shining wins though, hands down. I think that guy knew a bit about how to make a film.

47Many of the above, plus:
Kids. I was near tears after seeing this. It made me very sad to see such young people do such horrible things and to have such complete disregard for human life.
Halloween. The original. The sequels are awful (they actually show his EYES behind the mask! WTF?!). So perfect in its simplicity. Flawless execution.
I thought Night of the Hunter was really scary when I was a kid, particularly when you see the mom's body beneath the cloudy water.
I was in third grade when IT premiered on tv and holy hell, that fucking rattled me. I watched it again recently and was surprised by how effective it is, particularly that creepy, somber score. The second half with the adults is kind of lame though.
The only movie I almost walked out on was Outbreak because it fucking terrified me. I think I was 12 or 13 when I saw it. I became convinced that my family was going to die (slowly and slimily) from the ebola virus.
There were a couple of parts in the otherwise lame Event Horizon that unnerved me, particularly when they find the surveilance tape of the last crew eating/gouging/raping each other to death and that one guy looks up to the camera with his eyes torn out and says something like "we have found hell" in Latin.
And of course The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
I'm sure I'll think of more later.

48Right after I posted the above list, I got up and walked across my pitch black apartment to go use the bathroom. When I opened the bathroom door, it took me a few seconds to find the light switch. While I was pawing for the light switch, I suddenly heard a voice right in front of me in the dark say "hey."
All the breath got sucked out of me and I started to tremble. The light comes on and my roommate's boyfriend is sitting there on the toilet.
WHY is he in the bathroom with the light off!??!
WHY didn't he say OCCUPIED or something while I was opening the bathroom door?!?!
Holy shit, that was scary.

49I spit on your grave.
I watched this round my friends house. Just as the horrible rape scene started my friend left the room to get something. I sat there watching the gruesome scene in front of me and turned round to see my mates granddad had entered the room. He stood there looking at the tv and then looking at me with a puzzled face. Most probably the most uncomfortable moment in my life.

50Since becoming an adult films just don’t seem to scare me much at all anymore.
The Shining and Jacob’s Ladder have been mentioned a few times and I’d agree with that but that the former has been parodied too much and the latter has Macauley Culkin in it.
I don’t get the whole Japanese hair over eyes thing and Zombie films used to freak me out but now I just find them funny by and large.
The scariest film I have seen in a long time probably wouldn’t be clearly classified as a horror - that is Irreversible – absolutely fucking horrible (but brilliant) and I’d put it in the genre somewhere. Also Salo – again, not sure if it would be considered a horror but it’s fucking disturbing all the same.
However, advice: if you’ve seen neither of these don’t watch them with a girl on a first date.
