M$The Prince of Darkness: It takes place at a catholic church in the inner city where hidden in the depths of the church is an artifact containing a green liquid. As the story starts to unfold people being having dreams of the future and the ultimate power of evil starts to escape from his prison. Alice Cooper even has a guest appearance.

The Evil Dead: This movie is a story of escaped demons loose in the woods near a cabin where a college professor read a passage aloud from the ancient text the Necronomicon Ex-Mortis; a fictional Sumerian book. This releases the spirits of demons that have never known physical form and the resulting carnage that goes with it as they take over the bodies of the living and the forest itself.

That would be my call for the scariest movies in a tie situation.

I'm going to vote for one of the (if not THE) best psychological thrillers ever made: The Silence of the Lambs.

The movie Se7en rates pretty high up there for me, as well.

For two reasons:
1) like many of the answers above, this is the movie I saw at a certain age (15 or 16) that seemed to be possibly true. I think most people who have a scariest movie would refer to one they saw at probably around that age.
2) The Exorcist is a movie about attack from within. I think being attacked externally is one thing, but something attacking you from inside your own body is scarier. The Exorcist goes one further, with the attack coming from inside your mind or possibly your soul.

Oh, by the way the Exorcist was a great film and I love that shot of the stairs.
The movie I saw around that age was The Amityville Horror(79 not 2005). Though it was frightening at the time I think the movies I listed were scarier. I was 25 before I could watch the Evil Dead alone and I never made it through the whole thing. In my case I would disagree with your age brackets.

Probably not the scariest movie of them all, but since the Chicago Film Critics have apparently missed it, I'll add it here, for the sake of completeness.
