Scariest Movies of All Time
Everyone has their own scariest movies of all time picks. Being the product of a father who loved to scare the heck out of his children, I am a long-time fan and harsh critic of the scary movie. My Dad would say two of the scariest movies of all time are Salem's Lot (the original) and American Werewolf in London. I did indeed piddle in my pants every time something scratched my bedroom window for years, and I slept on my sofa for a month after seeing The Ring (in front of the TV, duh), but I propose that the 35-year-old occult thriller Race With the Devil is still in the running as one of the scariest movies of all time.
Great 70s cast -- Peter Fonda, Warren Oates, Lara Parker, and Hot Lips Houlihan. Two married couples travelling from Texas to Colorado via RV. While camping remotely one evening, they witness a ritualistic human sacrifice. They report the incident to the local sheriff who of course turns out to be a member of quite an extensive network of satanic cult members nestled throughout the little desert towns and numerous RV parks along the way. Fonda swipes a dirt and blood sample from the shady sheriff, the couples head off to report to Amarillo authorities, and the rest of the movie is about their race away from evil, toward presumed safety.
A few of my notes while watching for probably the 70th time. (1) Brady Bunch going-on-a-roadtrip type music is freaky for nonscary reasons! (2) Lara Parker taking a leisurely evening desert shrub stroll in a long white dress, really? Cute little doggie starts barking, forget the white dress blooper and just know things are going to go south but fast, eerie chill running down spine, blushing at the admission that this 1975 sometimes-hokey plot is freaking me out! (3) Skip to big bon fire in the desert, naked brunette chicks pleasuring a dude wearing a goat mask, a drugged-up naked blond chick, and eerie chants mean DON'T GO CLOSER!!! (5) In stark contrast with today's public library system, apparently in the 70s travelers with out-of-state licenses could enter a podunk library, with no library cards, and check out books? (6) Oh no they killed the dog ... I SHOULD stop watching because I am scared! (7) Sucks being the guy sometimes huh? ESPECIALLY when you have to be the one to rid the motor home of the rattle snakes on the stove and bury the dog. Why are the chicks just sitting there screaming instead of running outside, or HELPING! (8) Now they're on the run again, being chased, and they're PULLING OVER? DON'T FREAKIN' STOP TO CRY! (9) After yet another heroic effort, this one atop the moving motor home, Fonda is sportin' the big-head-a-hair made famous by my little brother in about the same year. (10) Why did they not drive out of the fire circle at the end? Coulda, shoulda, didn't, dead!
Despite my little digs, it is still on my list of scariest movies of all time. I have driven cross country, by myself, 13 times, and I always have a little chill, even in the 100-degree heat, when travelling through the desert states, and I sleep with one eye open at the campgrounds, thanks to this movie. So for me, this movie meets the criteria for one of the scariest movies of all time .
