The special on Discovery channel about the basis of Exorcist was even scarier! The very first Halloween wasn't too bad (before all the copy cat slashers showed up). The movie "Ring" was pretty decent as well.
As for comedy-horror genre, you can't beat Army of Darkness. Quirky, but funny as hell.

Army of Darkness, to call it quirky is a bit of an understatement, IMO it was just plain wierd.

The Exorcist came out in BluRay earlier this month. Hearing the sounds from that movie on my new Axiom system would probably creep the hell out of me.
If you want weird and disturbing: The Human Centipede.

Check out "Let the Right One In". Sorry to say (for those of you who do not like) it is Swedish and sub-titled but one of the few "scary" movies I have seen in a long time.

Dumb and Dummer! The mere idea of ever seeing that movie again scares the hell out of me!

I find any Steven Segal movie scary...esp for whoever bankrolled his movies  You didn't watch Exit Wounds last night I take it.

Darn it!! I missed it!
For comedy-horror, my vote goes to A&C meet Frankenstein...it's the original comedy-horror movie and still lots of fun to watch.

I'll go with The Serpent and the Rainbow for horror and Scary Movie for comedy

I found "Signs" creepy, but that just might be because I don't watch a whole lot of movies like that so there wasn't much to compare it to... That did have a very creepy effect to it, especially the first half of the movie. I feel M Night however you spell his name movies always start great but never finish well.

I watched "The Andromeda Strain" when I was nine. Took me years to recover.
Did anyone watch "Cujo" when it came out? When I was 17 my friend and I took a couple of girls to see it. It was very effective.
I also remember "Pet Sematary" (yes, that's how it is spelled) being very creepy.
