The 50 Scariest Movies of All Time

by on Oct 30, 2009

1. 'The Thing' (1982)

On Halloween, after the candy has been handed out and the neighborhood settles into the witching hour, there’s nothing better than cuddling under a warm blanket and watching a scary movie. Whether this means a trip to the video store or streaming on-line,The Boston Herald has compiled a list to help us pick the perfect spine-tingling fick. There’s something for everyone, including the usual suspects, but some of my favs were left off. For instance The House of Wax (the original Vincent Price version), Carrie and American Werewolf all got bumped for the likes of The Mothman Prophecies?? Any of your favorites not on the list?? OH, and the #1 scariest movie of all time, according to the Boston Herald?? The pic above is a hint. (That was a scary movie.)
