when i was a kid- poltergeist- could not watch a snowy t.v. for i don't know how long- would freak out if one was left on till the stations went off the air,
now- I would have to vote for the exorcist- freaky, erie, whatever, it just sticks with you...NOTE, the demon is real, as in they have little statues of him - they are found often in mid eastern digs, and the local university in my town has one in the art and archaeology museum- finding that out freaked me out - had just seen the film for the first time and was at the museum on a whim with a friend who I had seen it with, and theres this little stone demon head in a glass case complete with label and a couple paragraph description... neat but scary. I am a natural skeptic, but no way would I put a REAL demon in my movie were I the director- not that i belive, but why take the chance....
as for blair witch- it was a great idea, great marketing, but shitty execution, fuck- by the end I was begging the damn witch to kill those moronic kids and get it over with- the fake documentary on sci fi was quite good though- have a copy and watch it more than the movie itself...
event horizon was loud, but not imho scary....
the trilogy of terror freaked me too, haven't seen it as an adult but need to- that zuni doll freaked me out something fierce...
