It's not a god-awful list.

The boat ride in Willy Wonka scared me as a kid, and since this is a "Scariest Moments" list you can't fault them for the rest of the movie being rather unscary.

The inclusion of movies like Blue Velvet, The Brood, Blood Simple, Diabolique, Peeping Tom, The Fly, Don't Look Now - movies that I wouldn't automatically expect to see on a Scary Movie list but that really are quite unsettling - makes me love the list.

The Shining is obviously the best though, move over Jaws and Psycho and The Exorcist. Poltergeist too. I was more creeped out by The Shining as an older fellow when I saw the whole thing for the first time a few years ago than I was by the others as a kids. But that's a little unfair, as Kubrick tops any list. Best Sci-Fi. Best War. Best Comedy. Best Romance (well....). Yes I realize I'm probably exaggerating.
