I couldn't finish Children of the Corn (book), Just too scary.

 

For movies, I loved the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre, the Tobe Hooper version, b/c it could happen and parts of it have. I liked how it almost devolved/evolved into comedy with the killer chainsawing Franklin in the wheelchair... heck, I hit a nail in a log and my chain is ruined. "Grandpa's the best" "You? You're just a cook." 

 

Last time this thread went around, one of the guys pointed out that the best horror movie he ever saw was Fatal Attraction. Hmmm, it's right up there.

 

The old Last House on the Left was scary (the director was the aptly named Wes Craven and I didn't see the recent remake) and The Blob with Steve McQueen from the late fifties was so bad it was good.
