Stephen King has revealed his favourite horror movie of all time in a new essay.Writing for Variety, the author gave two honourable mentions before naming, what he believes to be, the scariest movie ever made.“I thought deeply about this question, perhaps more deeply than the subject — my scariest horror movie — deserves… but then, I’ve seen a lot of horror movies, so maybe it’s a valid Q,” he began the essay.“My conclusion is that the ‘scariest’ varies according to the viewer’s age.
As a kid of 16, the scariest movie was The Haunting (directed by Robert Wise). As an adult, it was The Blair Witch Project, with that building sense of doom and those truly horrible last 35 seconds.
But overall, I’d have to say Night of the Living Dead, George A. Romero’s low-budget masterpiece.“I’ll never forget the smarmy older brother doing his bad Boris Karloff imitation — ‘They’re coming to get you, Barbara… there’s one now!’ He’s pointing to the elderly wino stumbling among the gravestones, only the elderly wino turns out to be a reanimated corpse, and when Barbara locks herself in her car, she discovers that the smarmy brother — Johnny — has taken the keys.
