Scariest movie you have seen?
Also, I remember being very young and watching "Child's Play" at a friends house who lived down the street. That movie was particulary bad because my sis had one of those "My Buddy" dolls. Anyways, I get about half way through the movie and go "Uh, I have to use the bathroom." after which I got up, snuck out of the house, and ran the fuck home.

Dolls always have and always well mess with my head. Mom used to have one in her room, in her cuprboard. It was a sliding door cupboard which meant when the door was slid open, the doll was just sitting there in shadow... It was perfectly in place for the moon to shine through the window, onto the doll, making her eyes light up and just stare at you if you walked in... Fucking hell that messed me up for many a year as a lad...
when i was a little kid, i watched a lot of horror movies with my cousin and his mates. george romero, dario argento, lamberto bava, wes craven, that sort of thing. everyone thought i took it like water off a ducks back, but it was just that my 'mentally scarred by abject terror' face was the same as my 'bored and a bit tired' face.
after watching 'demons 2' one night, this kid was supposed to walk me and my sister down to our flat a few floors below - but all the lights were out in the hall and there were shuffling sounds coming from the bottom of the stairwell - so he made a big thing out of how we shouldn't be scared and sent us off into the darkness alone.

True story. The first movie I ever rented as a kid was "Demons".

Original Juon is a lot better than the rerelease. Same w/ Ringu (The Ring) and Honogurai Mizu (Dark Water).MKJ wrote:do yourself a favor, and get Ju-On: The Grudge (the original japanese movie). a lot darker than the US version, and isnt ruined by the hollywood "boo" scares either.
and the fucking house doesnt burn down
The rereleases weren't bad, just not as good.

When I was a kid there was some movie about witches I think and the climax was some shitty scene on top of a hill, mountain, or something. I don't remember but I think I cried that day lol.
When I was younger I watched The Night of The Living Dead (the 1980's something version) where they have that slimy zombie in the basement, I remember that creeped me out. I watched it a couple times since then and recently and the whole movie has me laughing.
Also The Exorcist was pretty fucked up.
Hmmm, I don't know how many of you saw Susperia (french horror that uses music and mood to scare you). There was a scene with this one fuck jumping through the window and strangeling the bitch which I jumped at. =o

Nightmare on Elm Street scared the shit out of me as a kid - the only movie that ever gave me nightmares.
This scene from Exorcist III was one of the scariest film moments of recent memory, even though the movie itself was dull.

Yeah, its one of those moments where its all quiet then something pops out of nowhere (totally unexpectedly in this case), but then again, those are the only things that get me anymore. I think after you reach a certain age, you just dont get genuinely scared by films, and the only things that ever get you are the creepy mood and the surprise moments that make you jump out of your skin.

One of the most scary experiences I had was with Event Horizon. Now, I'm not saying that's the scariest movie persé, but the atmosphere in which I saw it contributed a lot to the scare it gave me: it was a near empty movie theatre after midnight, and I was feeling pretty awful, felt like throwing up the whole time. Not a great way to feel when you're watching a movie like that, I can tell you.
