The thing. Hands down
Loved that movie when I was young, recall watching in on my B&W portable late night in bed and thought it was brilliant, but tried watching it again as an adult in full widescreen colour and it was trash. The special effects dated badly and the impact lessens as the viewer ages.
Definitely a lesson learned, many movies are far better as memories than they are in reality
Horror has never really been my genre of choice, I see Alien/s and Pitch Black mentioned, 3 great movies which I own copies of but all Sci Fi IMO NOT Horror
One horror movie I do remember actually scaring me at the time ( rather than being a gorefest like the Freddie movies or just having surprises that make you jump like the Final Destination movies ) was An American Werewolf in London, of course my age and the setting were probably as much to do with being scared as movie itself being only 9 or 10 and watching it in a dark room with my cousin both quashed into one armchair lol
Again the memory probably better than the movie so I refuse to rewatch it and risk spoiling that memory
