Some of the top 100 are more about gore than actual frights.
1) Invaders from Mars (50's version): watching the sand pit close after it's sucked up an earthling coupled with that choral music
2) Alien: Exploring that ancient ship (chest buster wasn't scary just amazingly gruesome)
3) Psycho: shower scene, to this day I always check the bathroom
4) Them: The sounds the ants make
5) Poltergist (2?): this old guy comes to the screen door and starts talking crazy and he looks like death warmed over. the actor who played that role died shortly after the film was released.
