"virus" was pretty interesting.

one of the ones I saw as a kid. The older you get, the less believable they are.

Good luck

ETA: Look for "true story" ones like Texas Chainsaw Massacre. I think it's scary that people actually did that

Probably one of the Waco documentaries, doesn't get any scarier than govt goons gone wild.

When i was about 14 it was The Legend of Boggey Creek. When I was 45 it was The Ring.

At the time I saw it?

Probably "The Exorcist" or the original "Texas Chainsaw." I as about 13 when I saw them both. Both screwed with me pretty good.

Phantasm. That little ball that flys around and sucks folks brains out is pretty freakin' scary.

well, when I was in 2nd grade, I rented the original 1931 Frankenstein. That was pretty scary

it starts pretty slow, about halfway through it will put you on the edge of your seat, the ending is awesome too.

Watched it for the first time in college by myself all alone at like midnight.

When I was 9 I saw Michael Jackson's Thriller video on a big screen at a roller skating rink. I didn't sleep for 3 months after that and I never rollerskated again.

Original Exorcist. No doubt about it. I literally had to pull the car over on a dark road on the way home from the movie to make sure she wasn't in the back seat blowing smoke and grinning at me in the rearview mirror!

I've NEVER been so freaked out in my life.

Scariest was the homemade porn video I made with the X.

When the Alien busted out of the guys chest I uttered some colorful explatives for an 8 year old. My father laughed for a good five minutes at me for damn near shitting my pants.

"Aliens" scared the everloving crap out of me when it came out, I was in sixth grade.

Don't know why but the movie PumpkinHead has always had a grip on me. It's a good story, some cheesy 80'a acting gets in the way a few times, other than that it's excellent in IMHO

ETA: here is a link to the IMDB page for Pumpkinhead

Daddy's Gone A-Hunting

I left my seat in the theater at one point during the movie's climax.

And it is NOT a horror flick.

i never saw why the exorcist scared people so much, even as a kid it never bothered me.

when i was young i was into

the day/dawn of the dead series
phantasm 1-X
the fog
alien
hellraiser
nightbreed

nowadays ive turned to asian horror to avoid the slasher schtick.

some ones ive found that were pretty good were:

a tale of two sisters
vanishing stairs
whispering corridors
acacia
the ring
the eye

all those listed are korean flicks except the ring and the eye, which is thai. it seems all japanese movies lately seem to gravitate around the premise of the ring, so i stepped aside from them for a bit. there are a lot of japanese horror anthology type dvd's at the rental places lately and ive enjoyed them for the most part. kind of like the japanese version of tales from the darkside.

While The Ed Gine(sic?) and Albert Fish stories played a part in the development of the story line for TCM the movie, it is completely made up. The closest factual story I could think that would resemble TCM was Sawney Bean legend of Scotland

The Omen.

"It's all for you Damian"

Man, that shit ain't right.

The movie Intruders when I was a kid was the scariest thing I ever saw. The notion that you could be abducted by aliens and there's not a damn thing you can do about it was terrifying to me.

www.imdb.com/title/tt0104523/

To make matters worse, I'd seen a UFO a while before I saw the movie, which made the movie all the scarier.

Alien is also a classic and one of the scareist movies of all time. Like my screen name and avatar?

The Thing, as seen behind my parents back at age 13. Messed me up.

The Deep, same story...

Alien, older, still messed me up.

Signs, just wasn't prepared for that one!

Deliverance, 'nuff said

The Exorcist. Watched on a portable TV on the tailgate of the 'wagon on a camping trip. Dad is a sick and twisted individual...

Fahrenheit 911. Hearing the sheeple remark on it's brilliance...

Winner is: Exorcist

Night of the Living Deadwas pretty scarey for a low budget movie

SHOCK WAVES with Christopher Lee

Pretty much the same reaction from me then several years later Aliens came out and was even worse. There was more than one of them now.

One of the few sequels I thought was worth the admission price.

You pussies are talking about freaking cartoons! Although, I will admit, that Texas Chainsaw thing was some sick shit. THE scary movie of all time was the first Halloween.

I'll never forget the bad-ass dude that was sitting next to me (it was crowded). The jerk squeezed my arm about 20 times and screamed like a woman at least a couple times.

I told my wife when we walked out of that movie that if somebody jumped out from behind a car or something and screamed at me I would have a heart attack!!

My parents took me to the drivein too see Jaws when it came out. I was six years old at the time. Too this day I don't go in the ocean.
I do however, find the movie stupid now. Damage is done.

Boggy Creek scared the shit outta me, course, I'm from Louisiana and lived close to swamps when I saw this movie as a kid.

The movie that still affects me today though has got to be Jaws, I still freak out a little bit even when I'm in a lake.

I know.......I'll turn in my card now.

Children of the Corn got me, of course I was 4 or 5 at the time and lived in a trailer park surrounded by corn fields in Iowa. My Mom wasnt happy either, a houseful of kids watching kids murder their parents on tv.

The Serpent and the Rainbow

Event Horizon. Weird and creepy.

I went to see the rerelease of The Exorcist in theaters a few years back, it was more funny than anything else.

Eh, movies don't do it for me. The first book I read was Pet Sematery--THAT is some fucked up shit. Followed closely by the Stand.

When the "Exorcist" originally came out it scared alot of people.

There were "real life" demon possessions on the news and other social commentary, even
church leaders commented on the impact.

It truly was a ground breaking "scary" movie.

You could formulate battle plans for Dracula, The Worewolf, Frankenstein and a guy with a chainsaw, but there was no defence against Demon possession.

All other movies since then never even came close.

I saw all the friday the 13th crap when i was a kid but the film that did scare the bejazus out of me was when I was allowed my own Black and white TV @ about 13-14yrs old, in my bedroom and i watched the old black and white Sherlock holmes- Hound of the Baskervilles with Bazil Rathbone.
