Hello Clari,
"Scary" is a regular adjective.
As a rule all regular adjectives will have the following form of comparative and superlative state:
comparative = adjective +ER
scary+er = scarier ( modified)
superlative= the + adjective + EST
the scary +est = the scariest
There is a list of irregular adjectives which will have a different irregular form of their comparative and superlative.

Scary - Positive
Scarier - Comparative (Superiority, Synthetic)
Scariest - Superlative (Synthehic)
More scary is 'comparative' too... So, use 'scarier'.

Hi good question :)
more scary- would be (scarier)
the most scary (scariest) as this is discriptive you can always use this to remember for other words such as (hot,cold,old,new for example;new,newer,newest.

Boy 1: I watched a movie Dawn of the dead it's scary
Boy 2: Really i think The Grudge is scarier than that.
Boy 3: I already watched those movies that mention but the scariest movie that i watch is Doll Master..
i suggest "scarier"
