100 scariest movies

What's your favorite scary movie?  That's what they ask in SCREAM.  Our favorite?  We have to define scary movie to start with.

Watching Alyssa Milano trying to act, for example, is scary.  Watching 'woke' Alyssa act in the sexist and homophobic BUYING THE COW is even scarier.

But our list is about films that were actually trying to scare you.  And a nod to Stan because his "BLINDSPOT and my pick for the ten scariest movies" last week inspired this list.
