    My measure of a movie's "scariness" is whether it instills a palpable
    sense of
    dread in me. If I'm watching it in a dark room, do I look over my
    shoulder to
    see if someone is there? Does every little creak and rattle in the house
    sound
    like an intruder? Do I check the locks a million times before I turn in?
    Some
    movies are shocking, some are spooky, but damn few rattle me as much as
    these:
    The Exorcist
    Evil Dead
    The Changeling

    My work requires me to come in around 10:30am or so, so I stay up later
    than my
    wife who has an early start. As a result, I tend to watch my horror movies
    in the
    early hours of the morning, and the test of a film's "scare rating" for me
    is that
    walk through the house, turning off all the lights, then walking through
    several
    dark rooms into the bedroom. If my heart rate goes up and I start anticipating... something... then I rate it highly.

    Yeah, Evil Dead does it for me.

    Let me tell ya, some of the most fun I ever had was watching HALLOWEEN by
    myself at
    about 1:00 in the morning. There were other people in the house, but they
    were all in
    bed.
