Normally, all horror movies scare me but I never really understood why, for most people, The Exorcist is the scariest one because I saw it for the first time I think 1 or 2 years ago and it had some creepy scenes but I find a bit over the top at times. Does it have some kind of sentimental value?
For me, The Shining is not the scariest but it has exactly the kind of horror that I like - creepy from the very start to the very end,it also has only a few jump scares but mostly,its creepiness comes from the mood. Despite the paranormal "shining" thing, a man going crazy in a middle of nowhere is pretty realistic and that makes it even scarier.

I get what your saying about The Shining, it's very subtle with it's Horror elements, and the mood is very eerie. Never was scared by it myself, i think i first watched it at about the same time as The Exorcist. Amazing movie though second fav Kubrick for me after A Clockwork Orange.
