Well, Friday The 13th and Nightmare on Elm Street are essentially ripoffs of Halloween, and inferior.

I'd go with The Exorcist, mainly because I find demonic possession much scarier than an escaped mental patient in a William Shatner mask who kills teenagers.

OK, so the question is scariest and best plot huh? OK well the answer is the same for both questions and that is easily, The Exorcist. It definitely has a much better plot than the others and this evident in the fact that what it deals with it is much scarier than the rest. Demon possession that deals with death, mortality and losing your soul is very intense. I also felt it should have won the Academy Awards for Best Picture, Best Actress (Ellen Burstyn), Best Supporting Actress (Linda Blair) and Best Director (William Friedkin) when it was nominated, though it rightfully did win Best Adapted Screenplay.

I have seen the other films that were nominated and I just feel that they made the best film that year. And they truly went through great trials to make that movie, just ask Linda Blair if she can stand being cold to this day.

But it truly is a great film and it was almost a Stanley Kubrick film though, imagine that?

Exorcist was almost a Kubrick film? Eeker

I think I just wet my pants.

And now I'm disappointed that it never happened.

Yeah, supposedly he wanted to direct it but only if he could also produce it. I think that the studio was worried that he would over budget and over schedule so they got some other guys before they finally settled on Friedkin.

As much as I love Kubrick, I think that the film is pretty powerful as is. Friedkin did have some unorthodox methods and was a bit eccentric but it seemed to pay off well. That’s why it’s easily the best film of the ones listed, it’s a lot more than just a “scary movie.”

The Shining? Oh, not on your list. Anyway, that's scarier than any of the other ones you listed - and had the best star.

Well, The Innocents and Rosemary's Baby aren't on there either, but they're scarier than The Shining, but The Shining's pretty good.
