What are the scariest movies you have seen?

[Lefty]

With Halloween just a few days away, what are the scariest(horror) movies you have seen?

We were watching 1408 today and that is a very good horror, suspense movie.

 

[FArting]

Paranormal Activity After watching that movie in the theaters I had trouble sleeping.

 

[Stout]

In no particular order: Exorcist, Descent, original Nightmare on Elm Street, original Hellraiser, a bunch of Vincent Price movies. I don't care what people say about some of them being too dated. With Vincent Price, he is timeless. For the others, they scared the hell out of me when I saw them.

28 Days Later, omg. Scared the crap out of me.

 

[HeavyB3]

Hot Chick.

 

[DeAnna]

The Exorcist and the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre

The Exorcist and the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre

The last movie that actually scared me was Wait Until Dark (my only excuse, I was 13 at the time) and it wasn't even a horror story, just a thriller. I usually find the premise behind monster and ghost movies to be so preposterous that they've never really frightened me.

Mothman Prophecies still makes the hair on my neck stand up...Mostly because I know of the real story it's based on...My father is from WVA and he took me to that town and that bridge as a kid...It really collapsed.

 

[Louis]

Devil's Backbone, Orphanage, and the Paranormal Activity series are recent moves that come to mind that were creepy to me.

 

[Russ Smith]

The Exorcist and the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre

Yep I was going to say Chainsaw too. that scene where he grabs the girl and slams that metal door that's just crazy.

I'd add Psycho too, for its time it was great.

Halloween. The Ring was pretty haunting.

Nothing I have ever seen has remotely approached watching the Exorcist.

I guess a distant runner-up would be The Ring.

That is my choice as well. Scared the tar out of me. Plus seeing Little Luke McCoy as a bad guy?

(By the time The Exorcist came out I was taking film classes and hanging out with "film people" and knew how they did the special effects so I was a snob who couldn't be shocked.)

Glad to know someone else found it scary. And poor Richard Crenna, such a promising career only to end up as second banana to Rambo.

I remember watching the exoricist in HS with some buddies at my friends house ... his parents warned us how scary it was, etc.

They came back in a little while later after hearing us laughing and joking to see if we were still watching the movie ........ we were, they couldn't understand how we weren't scared and we couldn't understand how they were

 

[MadCardDisease]

I saw Poltergiest as a young kid. Scared the crap out of me. Never liked clowns since.

You know who else found The Exorcist funny? The Zodiac killer!

Just saying...

This one and #3. I still haven't re-watched these. The only films to give me nightmares.

I couldn't even breathe air when guy was active or when the movie came out .... when Linda Blair goes all deep voiced and raspy in a string of profanity, it's more hokey & funny than scary & spooky

Blair Witch Project freaked me out. Can't say why. Just did.

Me too.

This is pretty funny though:

My best friend an I were so galled by the sheer stupidity of the characters in the movie that we were getting shushed by the scared masses around us. Everyone was sooo scared, and we had no idea why. "Idiots," He'd say. "Sure, bad stuff's around us...SO LET'S HUDDLE IN A FRICKIN' TENT." I'd chip in with, "Yeah, why not find something solid to put at your back, sharpen some stakes, and take turns sleeping? Morons deserve to die." Or stuff to that effect. Needless to say, we weren't impressed

Ya, of course they were idiots.

And if it is "needless to say" why say it?
