The Ring really got me. Loved the idea of watching a video tape and having seven days to live. A girl, with black scraggly hair hanging over her face in a white dress COMING OUT OF THE TV- fuck! I couldn't sleep for a week. Although when I watch it now, it's not that bad at all. Will check out the Japanese version.
Event Horizon also scared the crap out of me. Can't watch it again. Probably same with The Exorcist.
Like some of you others, when I was a kid I watched Evil Dead and was absolutely terrified. Now I wouldn't bat an eyelid.
Kind of disappointed with horrors today. It seems they rely more on SFX than a good story and edge-of-seat suspense. Still waiting for a good one to come along...
