Time’s list of the 25 Scariest Movies of all time is slap in the face to horror aficionados and probably one of the worst list I ever seen. There’s a time and place for out of the box thinking and when you put Bambi on the list and leave out The Shining, you crossed the line. Whoever wrote this article needs to be shot.

Without “The Thing (from another World) 1951- James Arness as the “Thing” this list is irrelevant.
Bambi is pretty terrifying if you’re a little kid. What’s stupid is that Red Dragon is number two. I saw that and thought, somebody’s getting paid.
If the guy who wrote the list don’t like scary movies, he could Google it and copy from someone who understads it.
Just lame
At least they got Nosferatu on there I guess…….
I did not see once again the movie listed that most chilled my blood. I do not remember the name for sure, but it was about an indian witchdoctor. I think it was called The Manitou?
Or, maybe it was the book I read and I thought the movie sucked. Well, it was only 30 years ago. Sorry.
