I would have to agree with Rodney that suspense hightens the overall scariness. "The Haunting" is a very good example of this.
As for my overall scariest movie ever....
3) The Ring: very good overall... but lacks the punch after multiple viewings
2) Blair Witch: As a young child, my sister and I would often spend entire days playing and exploring the massive forest behind our house. We even found a scary old cabin waaaay back away from everything. This movie brought back every single youthful worry, anxiety, and fear that I ever felt. Unfortunately, like the Ring, subsequent viewings don't stand up.
1) The Exorcist. Hands-down. The pacing, the characters, the mood, and the climax all are absolutely terrifing. Can be watched over and over again.... if you are sadistic.
