What scares us is so subjective that any attempt to make a list like this will be met by both applause and derision. That said, it's a pretty good list, although I think Sinister is overrated (except for the videos) and I think the first part of the IT miniseries was scarier than either parts of the movie version.

October 30, 2025 - On top of the way this jump scare is executed, it’s a jolt of adrenaline to the audience at a spot in the runtime that really needed it, and the movie on the whole is better for it. Moving on from the jump scare -- the monster that takes you by surprise -- the natural place to go next is to the scare that you see coming. These are the slow burn scares, the ones that sneak up on you even though they’ve been slowly walking your way this whole time, like It Following in the background, or each time A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night.

Steven Spielberg’s 1975 classic Jaws changed everything, from the director’s career trajectory and the release of summer blockbusters, to the intense fear some people now have of the ocean. The two-note theme that signals the shark’s approach is still one of the scariest — and most iconic — film scores ever written. But what’s most striking about Jaws all these years later is how withholding it is, the result being a suspenseful beachside horror that will keep you on the edge of your seat.
