having watched horror movies for nearly 30 years i can honestly say that only a handful have actually scared me,thats not to say that i dont enjoy them, i love watching them all but i still long for the day that one will come out that keeps me awake for a week! i may have to write it myself. any way here are my five genuinely scary movies. the shining,halloween,the exorcist,the changeling and an old 1945 film called dead of night.
