+1 the first halloween had it's moments, the shining, was damn scary |
|
|
13 at the Midnight movie and I had to walk home alone around 2am. |
|
|
That was a good one too. |
|
|
That would be "Exit to Eden." Damn, I wish they made a special edition with Rosie editted out. |

The Grudge
Both the Japanese version and the remake. That little boy made the hair stand up on the back of my neck. Creepy little kid. |
|
Prince of Darkness was probably one of the freakiest movies I've seen.
This one scene with a possesed asian girl at a computer, her body motionless, except her fingers typing like crazy. On the computer screen ...............I LIVE! I LIVE! I LIVE! I LIVE! I LIVE! I LIVE!......being typed over and over and over. |
|
The original Halloween remains one of the scariest movies ever.
Jaws has me still staying out of the water. The Shining is also a masterpiece of suspense and terror. The original Shining, that is. The remake is a masterpiece of crap. Recent movies - The Ring was pretty good. |
|
haha, i used to freak out on the commercials for that when i was about 6. never actually watched the movie. |
|
|
Prince of Darkness started out interesting, but got goofy about halfway through. Alien scared me pretty bad.
But, the Exorcist was by far the worst. I've seen it once, and will NEVER watch it again. Hands down the scariest. (I just got an all over body shiver thinking about it) Blake |

I was 6 or 7 when Alien came out my dad would cover my eyes at the scary parts (most of the movie) but I could still hear everything.
Yeah, I slept in with Mom n Dad for about 2 weeks. When the commercial for Aliens first came on TV I was watching early morning cartoons. It was the one where it just showed the I and slowly spelled out the rest of the word. My hair stud on end, I freaked out and ran back to wake up my parents. I had to see it the day it hit Theaters. Aliens, was my favorite movie until Fight Club. I don’t get freaked out much now, but I did scream out loud to a scene in Dead Birds. The rest of the movie was not that scary. I like the Japanese Horror too, but the endings are usually weak. |

FATHER, FATHER as she is reaching into the mirror. That movie scared the shit out of my wife!!! For me, Jaws - swimming was never the same after that Alien Omen Exorcist My Mother, Aunt, and Grandmother went to see the Omen when it first came out and scared them all shitless. |
|
|
The Exorcist re-release with the spider walk scene freaked me out. I've been looking for a long time for a movie that would scare the crap out of me like that but no luck so far. When I was a kid, there were t.v. commercials for It's Alive and Eyes of Fire that scared me.

Event Horizon gave me bad dreams for a few nights after seeing it.
Poltergiest scared the hell out of me when I was little. There was a tree in our yard that I thought looked just like the one that tried to eat that kid. |
|
I am not that old....but these movies got to me as a kid
Humanoids from the Deep (Giant fishmen rape and impregnate women - their babies burst out of their stomachs) Man that movie freeked me out. Humannoids from the Deep Evil Dead (when the demon is looking out througt the trap door in the floor - WOW) Its Alive - Killer babies Its Alive Creature Double Feature "Attack of the Mushroom people" Mushroom people Trilogy of Terror - the zulu doll gave me nightmares for weeks Trilogy of Terror The Shining. Anyone remember some of these movies? I saw these when I was young and they freaked me out in some way. |
|
Jacob's Ladder was a twisted movie. I watched that movie and had the same feeling I did when I saw the Chechen/ Russian soldier video online- just felt ill.
My mother wouldn't let me go see Alien since I was only 9, so I got a copy of the book, that was one of the worst mistakes I've ever done. I finally saw it when I was 11 and it still scarred me. It sucks when you have to pee at night but you can't get out of bed or the alien will get you. How do you explain to your mother that you had an accident because of a movie? |
|
"Event Horizon" was the scariest movie I saw. Probably because I had to sit front row at the theatre, and the two girls on either side of me dug their nails into my arm whenever they freaked out, usually when some guy got run through..... the whole movie was a visceral experience.....
|
|
I'll bet......scarier would be the sequal.......BAMA-SHOOTER GOES WILD II [or when new wife finds said video] |
|

I just told my 16 year old daughter tonight that i had a dvd of "The Exorcist". Shes too skeered to watch it.
THe other movie that creeped me out was "Psyco". |
|
event horizon was pretty good, first saw it in college.
I think my favorite was Below, it is similar to event horizon but takes place in a WW2 sub. I just saw it a couple years ago and it definately freaked me out, and that's not easy to do. |
|
Another vote for Aliens. I don't remember being scared by movies as an adult very often, but this one got me several times. Of course, seeing it on the big screen in a dark theater vs on the tv is a big difference. |
|
|
exorcist
aliens jaws and more recently "In the Mouth of Madness" with Sam Neil, try it you'll like it, not as "scary" as the other but good. |
|
Was kinda boring. |
|
|
The Grudge scared the crap outta me, and I watched at noon on a Sunday and was still spooked out.
The Shining and the Exorcist I still have a hard time watching. Poltergeist was rated PG-and I thought that was pretty scary. The first Nightmare on Elm Street was a great idea-being attacked in your dreams-how do you beat that? |
|
No such thing as a scary movie as we get older.
When I was younger Phantasm scared the hell out of me. Even when I was a little older Poltergiest wasa littel scary. |
|
How on earth could that little chinese kid scare anyone? He meows! like a kitty! |

The Ring did it for me!
And call me a pussy if you will, but I thought The Blair Witch Project was kind of freaky. |
|
Only movies that give me any twinge of fright were The Grudge and the Ring
the second ring was not scary as it was a basic copy of the first and now the rest of the jap "poltergist" wannabes are not scray anymore as you know what to expect I think it subconciuosly comes to this with me about if a movie is scary Physco killer, zombie or alien monster bang! its dead stories over Pissed off spirit just keeps coming back no physical way to deal with it |
|
Super Star with Molly Shannon. I'm scared to now waste my time watching anything she does.

My kids (14 & 17) wanted to see a "really Scary" movie and asked me what I would recommend. I showed them the box with "The Exorcist" Unrated DVD at the video store. They asked me if I thought it was scary? I told them that, to me, it was freaky...But not scary.
They watched it and were unimpressed. As for me, "Ghost Story" (I think it's called) was a good (Messes with your mind) kind of movie. "Death Ship" A buddy and I stayed up (As young kids) to watch it on HBO/On-TV (or whatever it was back then) and kept the lights off. The same guy will not watch it to this day (We are in our 40's now). I was really into Vincent Price movies as a kid, until I met him one time after my dad took me to see a play he was in. I was the last one in line and he thanked me for waiting "all that time!" just to meet him. He was such a nice guy, that it took all of the "Scary" out of him. Glad I waited! Tall Shadow |

The only movie that ever scared me was The Day After (1983 movie about nuclear war with the USSR). I was only 5 or 6 when that came out, so seeing all of that, I remember being in bed at night and wondering if each jet I heard passing over was a nuclear tipped missile coming to wipe us all out.
As far as horror movies, I never found any of them scary, just stupid. LOL. |
|
The Cat in the Hat. Mike Myers is a childhood vision of horror in that movie. If that freakish man were a howling scorpion with Michael Morre's face riding the blood-soaked ghost of Joseph Stalin, I would not be more afraid of it.
|
|
That and the sister ghost sounded like Lumbar from "Office Space." Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. |

|
+1 on the original Shining...probably the best horror flick ever made... RED RUM! RED RUM! The Shining in 30 seconds That followed by The Excorcist... The Excorcist in 30 seconds |
|
|
... Damn dude, we've agreed on this before - but I have to absolutely concur with your post here in its entirety. ... ETA that for modern movies, I'd have to go for Saw or Ring |
|
|
The Thing from another World
The Thing Jeepers Creepers The Grudge Halloween |
|
+1 for the Legend of Boggy Creek-I probably saw it 30 years ago, and I never watched it again. Scared the crap out of me!!
|
|
"Willy Wonka and the chocolate factory". The new one with Johnny Depp. Jezus Christ, those Oompa Loompa things just freak me out! And no shit, Ill sit there and eat 10 king size Kit Kats, every time I watch it!
Seriously, the new Tarintino flick "Hostle" is suppose to be one helluv' a graphic film. If thats what you want for scary. |
