What's The Scariest Movie You've Ever Seen?

[jb60606]

In no particular order:

• Rosemary's Baby
• The Shining
• Poltergeist
• Carrie
• The Exorcist
• Halloween

I saw all as a child, and they were the first horror movies I had ever seen. They made me numb.

Modern horror just can't compare -- they do nothing for me.

Hey, my cousin's in both of those! Haven't seen Sunshine though...

He's a top actor, that's for sure

 

[lofight]

Taking Lives, the idea about 'The Skeleton Key', panic room , etc

Another one I enjoyed, and which was pretty scary, was John Carpenter's 1982 remake of "The Thing." Boy, was that a bizzare movie.

I've always struggle to enjoy that movie. It's a class film, don't get me wrong and I'm a massive Carpenter fan. But the alien creeps me out too much. I'm a dire Arachnophobic and something about The Thing itself sets me on edge

texas chainsw massacre, saw, the final destination movies, the others, godsend.

 

[MacBookProJoe]

Checkout Myst. It recently came out. Disturbing ending for sure.

The grudge
Alien
The Shining
Jacobs Ladder

 

[Legolamb]

I don't like slasher horror. I liked 6th Sense, Signs, Unbreakable, but don't know if I consider those horror. Besides The Shining, Jacob's Ladder, Ringu, I think Candyman creeps me out the most.

Definitely the scariest film I've ever seen!

It made the hair stand up on the back of my neck during several scenes...also made me think about turning on the light.

I could just be a big blouse though

Psychological horrors scare me the most. My imagination only needs a little prompt to freak me out.

same here, probably why Event Horizon left me sleepless

 

[mrwizardno2]

I'm gonna sound like a total puss, but I think the most scared I've ever been watching a movie was when I saw Signs. I rented it, watched it, alone, in the middle of the night at my mother's house - in the middle of a corn field. I just keep remembering the claws under the pantry door. That scared the piss out of me.

Similar thing happened to me but I cannot remember the names of the movies.

I enjoy watching horror films now actually. More for the graphics and how twisted peoples minds are.

dumbo, especially the scene with the trippy clown elephants. that freaks me out. i'm pretty scared of clowns. the clown monster in IT scared me a little as well. the only clown i'm not scared of is the joker, i guess it is the story behind him that is intriguing. freaking clowns! shudders....

the original blair witch was scary in the theater. my wife and i loved going to cloverfield and love seeing m.knight movies together. we get a kick out of getting scared with those.

some movies are not really scary but disturbing to the point that you get that "wow that was really jacked up" type of feeling, the last scene in the mist was one of those. that really freaked my wife out. i find movies that involve kids getting hurt or screaming really get to me as well. i really don't like that kind of imagery. kind of like the time magazine photo of the naked Vietnamese kid from the Vietnam war era. that one really wigs me out to this day.

I'm such a loser for this but The Ring scared the crap out of me. The Grudge kinda freaked me out as well.

Saw and any other such gore is nothing but movies that mess with your head with real world objects doing strange stuff, (TV's, phones, water, circles, little girls with long brown hair, etc) that somehow gets to me. I know it makes no sense but it made me hate my TV for weeks and still creeps me out if I think about it too much.

Of course my ex played a cruel joke on me after he found out it scared me. Bastard left for work one day and put one of our really old TV's on a power switch timer on a channel we didn't get (i.e., static). I was sitting alone and that TV came on by itself. I screamed (I mean REALLY screamed) and ran out of the house... then realized what was going on and grabbed the phone to give him a right telling off and that phone rung in my hand, I dropped it. He had a timer set to call me at that exact time.
(yeah it's kinda funny but it was fricken evil)
So I think all of that played a small part in The Ring scaring me stupid.

I remembered another one, that the first time it scared the crap out of me. The Thing, by John Carpenter

One of my favorites by far. I saw that when I was six (I thought it was going to be about The Thing from the Fantastic Four comics). I was so terrified that if someone left the room and came back later, I wouldn't get within arm's reach of them. It made me extremely paranoid. To this day, whenever I watch it, I can still feel the terrified child deep down inside me.

Another one is the original Alien, I saw it around the same time. I slept with my mouth covered for fear of face-huggers for so long that it's now a habit that I can't break.

Three Men and a Baby, where the ghost was behind the door. I still can't watch it because of that. Oh and the Ring. My sister bought it for me like 6 years ago and I've only been able to watch it 3/4 of the way. Nevermind my 11 & 12 year old niece and nephew always try to watch it, but I Can't watch it with them

OH! And anything with little kids as ghosts scares the crap outta me.

 

[Gasu E.]

"Election Night 2000", followed closely by its sequel, "Election Night 2004". I was especially scared by the scene where the flesh-eating zombies attack the homosexual wedding.

 

[mgacam2]

Scariest movie I'v seen would have to be Boogieman. Sounds retarded but I saw that movie in theaters and havn't been so freaked in my entire life.

 

[emmawu]

The original "The Haunting" black and white made in 1963 still gives me the creeps;

The original "The Omen" which my now husband took me on as a first date.

And "Misery" because we all know there are nut jobs out there.

 

[LeahM]

Oh and "A Day After Tomorrow" because I believe it could happen.
Natural disaster movies freak the crap out of me.

Ju-On…

[husker4]

this movie still terrifies me and i have no idea why

 

[prodigee]

Ok understand this before I say what the scariest movie is for me. I don't get scared easily. Your typical "scary" movie doesn't do it for me, Blair Witch didnt bother me. But "Paranormal Activity" scared the ***** out of me. The reason is that I somewhat believe in ghost and demons (its weird I know, I just cant explain it). That is the only movie to truly scare me, I was shaking leaving it. Yeah I know, I know but my "belief" in that stuff truly scared the hell out of me, and the fact that it was done so well really contributed to it, it made it seem real. No other movie has even scared me. Shining, Halloween, nothing has done it until Paranormal.
