What's the scariest movie you have seen?

[Guest Youth N Asia]

Clown House scared the mother f out of me when I first saw it.

 

I can't find the damn movie anywhere. It's about these escaped crazy people who leave their institute and kill 3 clowns after a circus...they dress up as the clowns and follow these 2 brothers and another kid home. And of course one of the kid is deathly afraid of clowns.

 

Dammit, I need to see that again.

[Guest Dmann2000]

After watching John Carpenter's The Thing I was pretty freaked out...

 

And that was before the cat came into my room and I was convinced it was going to turn into the Thing and devour me.

The Exorcist creeped me out...The Ring fucked me up too. When I was a kid, Sleepaway Camp really got to me.

 

I've come to the conclusion that little girls creep me the hell out. That's why I'll NEVER be a child molester.

Upadte on Me:

Samara did come out of my TV this morning, I simply just came here to kill time until my Dentist Appointment.

It's coming out on DVD later this year. I believe it's one of those MGM Midnight Movies things but I'm not sure about that. Maybe Anchor Bay is doing it. The Midnight thing sounds right though. Hell, I'll look it up.

[Guest SweetNSexyDiva]

OK, so the Blair Witch Project wasn't really scary, but the freaking cinematography made me nauseated and I had to barf the minute it was done! I know, sounds so attractive, but I had to share!

[Guest dreamer420]

I haven't see you in awhile dreamer.

I haven't been posting much lately. Too much booze to drink and drugs to do right now.

My first thought was Poltergeist, but I was about 8 or so when I saw it.

Being sucked into something as mundane and unaware as a pissy mattress into the biles of hell rotted my boyhood.

[Guest Special K]

Creepy Movies:

 

Perfect Blue, yeah it's a cartoon, but it's eerie

 

The Birds, for concept and direction

 

Blair Witch, if you have a good imagination, and get yourself into it.

 

TCM is a great horror movie, and along with Hills have Eyes is creepy for being realistic.

 

The Ring was well acted and directed, but no way is it scary.

 

Only 2 movies have actually really scared the shit out of me:

 

Jacib's ladder (watched when I was about 12-13) This is a goddamn scary movie. Really fucked up in every sense.

 

Fulci's The Gates of Hell: Horribly gory, has maggots and decaying corpses all over the place, has a girl slowly vomit out all her internal organs, but unlike Dead/Alive, it's purpose isn't only gore gore gore. It is directed with the intent to scare, and scared the willies out of me when I was 16.

 

Oh, and Pink Floyd's THE WALL scared the shit out of me when I was about 6.

 

I doubt any movie will ever put a scare in me again after playing the Silent Hill Videogames. Scary, scary shit all the way around. Play it alone in the dark.

[Guest Zack Malibu]

When I was a kid, Sleepaway Camp really got to me.

I wasn't ever scared of Sleepaway, moreso just freaked out. My friends all have somewhat of a "pact" with me that if we talk Sleepaway in front of people who haven't seen it, no one can disclose the ending. That way we get more people to watch it, and thus more people are freaked out.

 

I'm a bad person.

 

As for me being scared, nothing scared the life outta me more than that little fucker Chucky when I was a kid. Of course watching a movie about a killer doll for the first time while a My Buddy was in the same room can easily unnerve you.

[Guest El Satanico]

Speaking of Poltergiest and reasons why it scared us when seeing it as a kid.

 

I saw the movie in the theater when i was 7 or 8. Well, at my house i just happened to have a big old tree outside my bedroom window. This was before mini blinds were common place, so needless to say I spent few sleepless weeks after seeing it.

 

 

A humerous story concerning Poltergiest. I was watching the show House Hunters on HGTV a few months ago. Well one of the houses was the same model as the house in Poltergiest. The interior was slightly different, but the exterior(still in 70's mode) and kitchen was nearly identical. I was freaked and laughing at the same time about it. I would've died laughing if the people looking for a house on that episode asked if it was built on an indian burial house.

 

They would've had to force me to walk into that house.

[Guest WhenDanSaysJump]

A made-for-TV movie was shown on Channel 5 here in the UK a few years back, I think it was a UPN special back in the late 90s Stateside.

 

It was called ummmmm The Macarthur Tapes, I think, it was a Blair-Witch-esque was-it-real-was-it-fake account of alien abduction, all filmed via camcorder etc.

 

If I saw it again it'd probably be a steaming sack of poo, but it scared the living piss out of me when I first saw it.

[Guest Harry Hood]

More I forgot...Blair Witch is quite scary in concept...tis just to real. Same with Last House on the Left.

 

Good shit though, alhtough Event Horizon still holds it.

[Guest RedJed]

Early stuff when I was younger........I remember seeing Elm Street 2 at a drive-in theater with my dad and his girlfriend when I was maybe 6, they brought me to it since the opener was Critters or Critters 2, but then once Elm Street came on (and I had no idea about Freddy at all at this point) I didn't know what I was getting myself into and I begged my dad to leave the drive in about 20 minutes into it lol. Freddy totally freaked me out.

 

If you can find the uncut version of Last House on the Left.......that shits very disturbing and actually pretty psychologically scary. The Ring also freaked me out pretty good for the most recent. When I first saw Blair Witch I had no idea the film was ficticious.......since I didn't read anything about it beforehand, I assumed it was a legit documentary. So it freaked me out the first time, at least.

[Guest Mindless_Aggression]

I agree that I am indeed a pussy, dammit, I still look over my shoulder for some psycho with a saw.

 

Sleepaway Camp didn't scare me. It did make me go "What in the blue fuckin hell?" and succeeded in making me delightfully....weird feeling. Can't really explain it, it just did

[LaParkaYourCar 0]

Movies don't really scare me, but some have disturbed me to the point that I don't wanna think about them. Like:

 

Basketcase: Just thinking of it disturbs me

Event Horizon: Although upon second viewing it wasn't as disturbing. Maybe cause I prepared myself for the scenes in question.

 

There was some movie I saw on HBO years ago set in the 1800's about someone doing strange expirements that ended in gross beings. One washed up on shore and some villagers found it. A couple of them went looking and found themselves in pitch black with pits all around them filled with these creatures. That scene bothered me cause of the though of being in that perdicament.

[Guest Special K]

Event Horizon, in my opinion is a bit overrated. Sorta a Hellraiser clone with a sweet Orbital soundtrack.

 

I just saw Identity tonight. Not too scary, but a hell of a film.

 

Course I'll see anything with John Cusack in it. Hell I've seen say anything twice.

 

All of you horror sort-of-buffs, rent Fulci movie sometime. He inspires horror in the viewer.

 

Haven't seen last House on the left, and in a way, don't really want to.

 

Oh, and the definition of a 'chilling' movie, whereas you aren't scared watching it, just uncomfortable and sad and nauseated all at once, watch Henry: Portrait of a serial Killer.

 

And while we're at it American Psycho is one of the grear black comedies/satires of the last decade. Book's oogie though

[Guest Lethargic]

Event Horizon, in my opinion is a bit overrated.

A BIT?? The fact that anybody could sit through that movie with a straight face is pretty scary to me.

[Guest DerangedHermit]

Mr. Nanny - Hulk Hogan in a tutu AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

[Guest gthureson]

Put down another vote for 'The Thing'.

 

Its a different breed of horror movie, but the feeling of isolation and impending doom that builds throughout the film gets damn near oppresive by the end.

 

Always a feeling of, "Something's gonna happen, and it ain't gonna be good.", and when something does...it works well.

[Guest mach7]

Well, no movies really scare me any more per se. But back in the day, when I was a wee lad, I'd have to say that Poltergeist 2 did the job for me. Man, Cain was one scary looking mofo. ;p

[Guest Plushy Al Logan]

The Exorcist creeped me out...The Ring fucked me up too. When I was a kid, Sleepaway Camp really got to me.

New scariest thing I've seen, the post I just quoted.

[Guest Renegade]

Texas chainsaw, I was about 11 or 12 years old when I saw it and it scared the living shit out of me. It didnt really have much gore on for show but the way the film messes with you makes you feel like youve seen way too much.

 

And the final scene is the most chilling thing I have ever seen in a movie.

[Guest Vyce]

Blair Witch, if you have a good imagination, and get yourself into it.

See, I do think it's scary, because I can get into it.

 

I saw it in the theaters. Friends of mine didn't think it was anything special, but I have to say it left me a little fucked. You have to get into the psychological aspect of it.

 

The part that freaked me the most from that film was when they were all in the tent, about mid-way through the movie, and they hear something outside. The sounds get closer, and all of a sudden they hear children laughing outside the tent. THAT messed with my head immensely.

 

Ring is a good horror flick, but not really scary until the last few minutes.

 

Exorcist, IMO, is NOT scary, but I view it by today's jaded standards. The only part of Exorcist that freaked me was one of the previously deleted scenes, the spider-walk down the stairs.

 

A made-for-TV movie was shown on Channel 5 here in the UK a few years back, I think it was a UPN special back in the late 90s Stateside.

 

It was called ummmmm The Macarthur Tapes, I think, it was a Blair-Witch-esque was-it-real-was-it-fake account of alien abduction, all filmed via camcorder etc.

I think I know what you're talking about. I think it was labelled "Incident at Lake County" here in the States.

 

It's kind of cheesy, but it has one true HOLY SHIT / chills down your spine moment - when 3 of the male family members observe the aliens dissecting cows in their neighbor's farm. They're looking down at them from on a hill, and we're seeing all of this through the camcorder of the teenage boy. He focuses on the aliens dissecting, then turns towards one of his family members, then returns the focus to the aliens - who are now looking RIGHT AT THEM. It's a freaky moment.

[Guest Youth N Asia]

I loved Blair Witch, I thought it was pretty scary.

 

But people are assholes. Everyone loved it when it was this indy deal, but then turned on it when it went huge. I like it for what it was. And I even liked the second one, that had some freaky shit in it.

I loved that, it aired on Fox or UPN, and even though you know it's fake it did a great job with the scares Cheesy at times, but overall very enjoyable.

Careful dreamer, bob barron might think your bragging.

 

Poltergiest scared the crap out of me. I watched for the first time on HBO a few years back, home alone. Lets just say I slept with the lights on that night.

 

I know the Others isn't really scary, but it scared the shit out of me in the cinema. I don't know why, but it just hit a nerve in my mind. I'm not ashamed to say that I spent the night with my light on, right before I turned 18.

[Guest Jack Tunney]

I don't want to get into a flaming war with anybody, but how exactly was "The Ring" scary?I almost fell asleep a couple times while watching it.

[Gert T 0]

When I was 7, during WCW Saturday Night, there was a commercial for a remake of The Blob, and the guy got sucked down his sink. I was literally crying for awhile and was scared to go to the sink. Was it lame, yes, but have I seen the movie since it came out in 1988........nope.

 

Also speaking of sinks, we fixed up our shower and I had noticed a bunch of ants crawling around the bathroom, later when I turned the shower on about 8 came out of the faucet. So have something attack or come out of a faucet and I'm scared shitless!

[Guest godthedog]

renegade--please shrink your sig.

 

scariest movie i've ever seen, by far, is 'repulsion'. i was 19 years old when i saw it, and it still made me jump three fucking times. at least 60% of any horror movie is atmosphere, and the atmosphere of this one was just perfect. it got everything absolutely right: the claustrophobia, the decay...

 

so, yeah. everybody see it.

[Guest C.H.U.D.]
