11. Alien

Ridley Scott's Alien is terrifying because it is perfectly done. The Alien bursting through Kane's (John Hurt) stomach is an iconic horror movie moment. Ellen Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) had the right idea initially to not let the alien attached to Kane's face on the ship. Another aspect of the Alien that is particularly terrifying is its acidic blood. That means killing it would just launch an acid spill that would burst a hole in the ship. Space like Antarctica is a remote location where no help is coming.
