These Are The Scariest Movies Of All Time

Scary movies allow us to confront our fears from the safety of the couch but some of them hit a truly terrifying nerve. We're here to dig deep into the ones that stand head and shoulders above the rest. Spoilers ahead.

Laurie Strode is a typical teenager who spends her time babysitting when she's not in school. Then the deadly Michael Myers breaks out of his institution and burns Laurie's normal life to the ground. John Carpenter's Halloween provides a master class in suspense as Myers weaves his way in and out of Laurie's orbit, slowly shredding her sanity. When the horrifying and prolonged showdown that ends the film arrives, it's with a sickening inevitability. Still, it somehow manages to thrill and surprise, more than four decades after the film's release.

Michael Myers is unique among slasher villains in that he remains inexplicable. We really never gain any insight into why he is the way he is - at least in this movie. Even the first sequel offers little in the way of understanding. This makes Myers uniquely frightening: There is no secret memory, explanation, or phrase that might disable him, or even just render him more comprehensible. He is terror personified, and that gives viewers plenty to fear.
