Scariest movie you have seen?

[Jackal]

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.

LOL, dolls are creepy things. They just.... stare.

Back when i was a kid i got scared shitless by The Fog.
nowadays... not much, i did get some chills on my back from both The Eye and The Grudge.

[o'dium]

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...

Here is a classic. It really is amazingly scary and creepy.

The Turn of the Screw (the 1959 version with Ingrid Bergman)

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.

Blair Witch Project scared me more than anything else ever has - but I've also been lost in the woods before (24+ hours) so that probably contributed to it

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

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

Original Juon is a lot better than the rerelease. Same w/ Ringu (The Ring) and Honogurai Mizu (Dark Water).

The rereleases weren't bad, just not as good.

Jacobs Ladder :icon14:

[Deathshroud]

EDIT: This movie made me paranoid about going to bed when I was a kid.

[Jackal]

the movie "Ghoulies" always made me think twice about sitting on the crapper.

*kiss*

very good psychological horror indeed!
we euro's got screwed over with the dvd again.. no deleted Hotel scene

[Hannibal]

Well Jaws scared the piss out of me when I first saw it (elementary school). Then I compounded my dumbassesness by reading the novel. I didn't go near a body of water larger than a mud puddle for over a year.

[ScooterG]

1. The Shining
2. The Sixth Sense

I hate movies where you can see dead people wandering around. Actually I love them but I have a self-imposed rule never to watch them due to the fact that someone who is 30 should not be doing the flying leap into bed to avoid a little girl grabbing her ankles.

Me, too (especially after reading the book)!

[+JuggerNaut+]

Exorcist (they cheated with the damn still images), the original Nightmare On Elm Street (watched it in a drive-in in the middle of the f00kin woods in Washingston).

[ScooterG]

Yeah, the Elm St. movies scared me as a kid, but now they seem silly to me, whereas The Shining and The Sixth Sense still scare the bejeezus out of me.

I refuse to watch The Ring.

[+JuggerNaut+]

The Ring's boring. don't worry about it.

[Turbine]

I would have to say that when I was younger. I was terified of Aliens but now it has lost the "terror" it once had on me.

[dzjepp]

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

[StormShadow]

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.

Poltergeist

The first movie freaked me out because I had nearly the exact same clown doll at the time the movie came out. I had to throw the doll in the attic after seeing the film.
