Two of the scariest movies I've ever seen were:
The Mist (2007 version)
Lord of The Flies (the 1963 or 1990 version)
The reason why they were so scary was because delusion caused large groups of people in both movies to degenerate quickly into savagery despite very rational people who tried to prevent it.
When a group of people get a "mob" mentality and blindly follow delusions which have mislead their minds and judgement past all reasoning it is extremely scary. Because it can turn a group of people from a rational group into a fanatical, extreme and even crazy group that may do very dangerous things as a result.
There are examples this everywhere. When groups go bad and things start to snowball into completely irrational and dangerous behaviour which is almost impossible to stop because they have lost their senseableness....
