Only one i remember finding scary was a Swedish horror movie i watched when i was 11 in 1994. But i don`t remember what it was called.

Don’t suppose it was the original version of Nightwatch? It was set in a mortuary.

"Scary" though is totally subjective. The Guardian's use of lists and top 10's rather than journalism is a bit frightening.

I don't know that know what a 'scary' movie is. I don't tend to jump or scream or have any trouble sleeping after seeing a horror movie. But the genre allows for more directors taking artistic chances and great style and artistry. Especially in recent years some of the most audacious movies, some of the best crafted movies, and often the most emotionally resonant, of each year tend to fall in the horror category.

Also there's a lot of garbage. But some of that is just fun.
