Are You Ready to Scream? These Are the Scariest Movies of All Time

The Blair Witch Project 

The Blair Witch Project was the first movie to really nail the found-footage horror genre. A group of local college kids treks into the forest to inspect the mythical witch that lives within the trees. Without this movie, there would be no Paranormal Activity, Insidious, or Devil Inside.

Night of the Living Dead 

Often referred to as one of the original scary movies, this film produced some truly gory scenes for a low budget without any CGI. It also touches on racial and social issues that remind us that there are still several horrors in our everyday life. Plus, this was one of the first mainstream "zombie" movies, despite being a bit more symbolic than your traditional brain-eating undead morons.
