Top 50 scariest movies of all time

Want a thrill? We have rebooted our list of the 50 scariest movies of all time. While the term 'scary movie' is somewhat subjective, we focused on three main categories: 1. Is the movie so scary that it could change one's behavior? 2. Does the movie have a high likelihood of producing nightmares in many people? 3. Does the movie startle you, make you anxious, get your heart pumping, or just plain gross you out? So draw your curtains, check out our list, tell us what you think , and rank your favorites ! — Jesse Nunes, Globe Staff
