The scariest movie you've ever seen was...

[AshyPhoenix]

For me, it was Drag Me To Hell:



It definitely wasn't the best horror movie I've ever seen, but at a few points it scared me so badly that I had to turn it off (which I haven't had to do with a movie since I was 13).

What about you?

[JP.]

Actually I scared the fuck with 'The Thing' 2011 remake

[AshyPhoenix]

Actually I scared the fuck with 'The Thing' 2011 remake

Watch the John Carpenter one. It's way scarier.

[BENDERBOY]

The original Texas Chainsaw Massacre on video.

[JP.]

Watch the John Carpenter one. It's way scarier.

Is that the classic 80's horror flick? Idk if that scarier enough
anyway- Drag me to Hell main girl has to most 'serene' expression for horror movie, I think ^^

[crimsonpaine]

When I was a kid, it was Cujo. It was years before I was able to watch it again.

[borg69unimatrix]

Hmmm... Some based on fear alone would be:

The original "My Bloody Valentine"
The original "Exorcist"
The original "The Thing"
"Jaws"
The original "Pet Cemetery"

Based on Gore/Grossness:

The "Saw" series.
"The Human Centipede".

When I was very young, I saw on the late late show a couple movies that terrified me. They're silly now.

The Thing That Couldn't Die (1958). I was terrified but hey, I was about 6 when I saw it. The complete film is on youtube.

The other is The Astounding She Monster (1957). Saw this on tv with my brothers and was so scared I couldn't watch the end.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0050143/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1



Later on I went to this in the theater. It really scared me when it first came out.

The Exorcist (1973)

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0070047/



28 Days Later (2002) scared me. I had nightmares for a couple nights.

I watched the Exorcist on video when I was in my early teens, I didn't so much find it scary as gross. Still I was a repressed catholic boy then and what that demon did with the crucifix brought tears to my eyes, that would have hurt.

The only horror film I've watched that still haunts me to this day is IT by Stephen King. I watched that when I was a kid and I've been terrified of clowns ever since, so much so I'm not even going to YouTube to get a clip. Clowns are evil.

[JP.]

This..reminds me of..



y'all better check redbox fast

**** stars frm me.

[HunterM]

Weapons of Ass Destruction. Just the title makes my anus shiver.

[ManLicker]

(BBC TV series) "Mother Love" with Diana Rigg and David McCallum. A psychological thriller that turns all the makeup-and-hamburger slasher movies into snorefests.

Second place (no pun) "Seconds" with Rock Hudson. You'll never again be able to hear the sound of a drill without panicking...

[Adrock-JD]

A Haunting in Connecticut on Discovery Channel
(TV version) not the theatrical film

The ghost (Devil) undertaker in the basement just really creeped me out.

Also, The Shining was pretty scary. The book was very scary, reading it at night.

[AshyPhoenix]

Is that the classic 80's horror flick? Idk if that scarier enough

It's scarier in a different way, I guess. The original was a lot more psychological.

[SaskGuy]

I've seen a lot of horror movies. Classics, such as "Cujo" and "IT", newer ones such as "The Hills Have Eyes" (the remake) and "Hostel"... but by far, the one that really made an impact was "Threads". It scared the hell out of me, and I couldn't get it off my mind for days!

Here's a homemade trailer (and I tried not to bog the page down any further by embedding it, but the forum did that automatically. Oh well).

If that the case then I'll watch it

[borg69unimatrix]

The creepy old man in POLTERGEIST kinda scared me.

[AshyPhoenix]

If that the case then I'll watch it

Refer to my avatar.

[M10000]

The Exorcist

Terror of Trilogy

[BustinJeiber]

Skeleton Key. Only because I used to live by a haitian woman from new orleans that always did weird shit like in the movie, I thought she was going to do the hoodoo on me.

[refujiunderground]

the miracle of life. the way that vagina stretched itself when the baby was coming out.

[BustinJeiber]

Also because really old people with a 'nawlins accent terrifies me for some reason.

[ronboy]

Re-Animator really freaked me out .....

[eastofeden]

The scariest movie I've ever seen was... JESUS CAMP

I actually had to vomit because it made me ill.

[bankside]

I was pretty nervous when the abominable snowman was chasing luke skywalker.

[freefall]

I watched the original The Omen when I was eight. I could barely sleep for four days.

Now that I passed my childhood, it should be the first Ju-On, Japanese version.

[sexylatinboy]

The Amityville Horror, once I watched it couldn't sleep for days especially since I had heard it was a true story.

[Swellegant]

A Nightmare on Elm Street scared the bejeezus out of me, I think because it portrayed so many common nightmare tropes, many of which I've dreamt myself, especially in childhood. The Trilogy of Terror with the little doll was another that scared me when I was a child because my uncle had a tiki in his room that looked just like it. And I saw about ten minutes of Salem's Lot (the 1979 original miniseries with the horribly ugly Nosferatu-type vampires) and had to leave the room.

The single-most scary individual character, though? The hearse-driver from Burnt Offerings. I still don't know why, but he still makes me very uneasy:



Interesting that two of the movies I've cited had Karen Black in them. Maybe I'm just afraid of her...

[MysteryLovesCompany]

Horror movies don't scare me anymore. I can still be disturbed and grossed out but, unfortunately, not scared. When I was a kid though, the movie The Serpent And The Rainbow really frightened me!

[thatgirl]

I think I mentioned it on here before but even though I usually laugh through all horror films...

Martyrs scared and disturbed me big time. My idea of "scared" is less about seeing frightening visuals and more about things fucking me up psychologically. Hate that film.

[LatimerRd]

Shadow of the Vampire (2000), a fictional account of the filming of Nosferatu (1922). The premise of the movie is that the actor who plays the vampire in Nosferatu really is a vampire. Very disturbing film.

[Scealle]

For me it was The Descent


It was pretty scary for me back then. (The anticipation and the blood)
Not really that terrified by spirit themed horror movie.

[Axxess]

Shadow of the Vampire (2000), a fictional account of the filming of Nosferatu (1922). The premise of the movie is that the actor who plays the vampire in Nosferatu really is a vampire. Very disturbing film.

I remember seeing a trailer for that. It looked more silly to me than scary.

I'm not really into the Horror genre; I don't watch many horror films. But I do remember that this scene from Fantasia scared me as a child:



Yes, I was easily scared as a child.

[AshyPhoenix]

^I used to watch that scene from Fantasia over and over when I was a kid!

[Charmine]

Kindergarten Cop.

What if that German guy ever had real authority?

shudders

[Falcon16]

John Carpenter's The Thing

Alien

[Axxess]

^I used to watch that scene from Fantasia over and over when I was a kid!

Earlier you made a thread about scary video games, now scary movies. Do you enjoy being horrified or something?

[treanir]

I haven't been scared by a horror movie in years, and I miss it!

The ones that scared me the most when I was younger:
- The Shining
- It
- Poltergeist
- Nightmare on Elm Street

[Corny]

Drag me to hell was really fun

I think "the descent" was really tense. I watched it in the right setting with the right people though. Imho this has a huge effect on how a horror movie affects you

[JohnJay201212]

Never seen one.

[Harke the Boeotarch]

Don't Be Afraid of the Dark (1973)

Event Horizon (1997)

[MissAnne]

Im not too scared of scary movies these days: Im more freaked out by some of the Celebrity Ghost Stories episodes.


I watched Tracey Nelson's Celebrity Ghost Story episode, I didn't sleep right for a week.
Chaka Khan's story wasn't anything to play with either.

It gives me the creeps to even think about it. EEK!

When I was a child I was terribly afraid of:

The Witches



When Anjelica Huston took off her mask, I was done. I have since finished it but it gave me horrible nightmares when I was 10.

Candyman



I can watch it now, but its still pretty fucked up.

Oh! and someone mentioned IT! AH!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RYW3NyAPuMI


"They All Float Down Here" Horrible. That was also very scary.

[hylas]

i nearly shat myself during blairwitch project. i was about 15 at the time, and had barely seen any horror movies before.

hardened as i am by now, i dont think any movie could scare me that much anymore. although they can make me feel nauseous or startle me... neither of which i enjoy, so im very selective about what horror movies i watch.

[Nishin]

A TV doc about human organs stolen from orphans and random kidnapped children in Colombia... gave me nightmares for months
Also a (hopefully faked?) snuff youtube movie with an eastern European solder sliting another soldier's throat

Hollywood movies? they make me lol

[cgymike]

"Sorry Wrong Number" ...gave me the creeps though not sure it's the scariest....but among Noir genre probably....sometimes the psychology makes it scariest. Showing people being blown away by a nuke is scary but in a different way.

But real life is THE original scary movie.....

[AshyPhoenix]

Earlier you made a thread about scary video games, now scary movies. Do you enjoy being horrified or something?

Yes, I do. I've seen quite a few of the movies people have posted in here. I'm a bit of a horror movie buff.

[Phantas33]

gosh that is a good but hard question!! Also a bit of a horror buff here.

I remember Candyman scaring the crap out of me, and it still is a hauntingly captivating film.
Also found "The Mist" from Stephen King's hand to be quite unsettling, especially when watched alone late at night

More recently though, and not so much scariest, but I was truly gored out by Final Destination 5. Whatever one may think of the series, the "deaths" in these are really sick at times, especially in this last one.

I can't say though which movie managed to scare me recently as much as they used to do....

[Phantas33]

For me, it was Drag Me To Hell:



It definitely wasn't the best horror movie I've ever seen, but at a few points it scared me so badly that I had to turn it off (which I haven't had to do with a movie since I was 13).

What about you?

Actually thought this was one of the better horror movies that was released more recently. It reminded me of the good ones from the past, during the 70-80s and half of the 90s. After that it all became a bit more of the same. But DMTH had a good plot, for once.

[Phantas33]

I watched the Exorcist on video when I was in my early teens, I didn't so much find it scary as gross. Still I was a repressed catholic boy then and what that demon did with the crucifix brought tears to my eyes, that would have hurt.

I relate to the comment about IT!! I was aroudn 12 or 13 when I watched it on TV and I had to watch it through my hands at times LOL - that clown was FUCK scary. Honestly though, the parts involving the kids are WAY scarier than the parts involving the adults. Stephen King is good at describing kid fears!

[Vitamin]

Some of you are going to hate on it, but Paranormal Activity (the first one) is the one and only movie that made me sleep with the lights on after I saw it.
