Scariest movie ever.
 
I just saw the exorcist recently and it scared the shit out of me. Normally I don't care how many bloody figures I see or how many ghosts pop up but this movie was just plain wierd. Maybe the director/write was having an acid trip? Who knows.

Snakebyt 11-23-2003 07:53 PM

great movie, scared me when i was a little kid, but not anymore, but my wife still wont watch it

Mephisto2 11-23-2003 08:06 PM

Scary movies
 
My wife won't watch any scary movies. They give her nightmares.

I wanted to go to the Director's Cut of Alien, but no dice.

I'm not a huge fan of very scary movies either, but I did like Alien and I enjoyed the English language version of The Ring.

Yes, I nearly pooped myself in the cinema.

The original Texas Chainsaw Massacre was mighty scary in my younger years

absorbentishe 11-23-2003 08:45 PM

Both exocist and alien scared the crap out of me when I was younger, now it's nothing. As an adult, I haven't been scared but a little. The only movie that had me tense was Flatliners. Something about the movie had my blood pressure up.

Jesus Malverde 11-23-2003 08:53 PM

Red Dragon wasn't that scary, but I did feel that tense feeling you talked about throughout most of it. Very weird. I thought pet cemetary was pretty scary, it gets my pick.

JoenOcoee 11-23-2003 09:13 PM

For my 12th birthday I told my dad I wanted to see Aliens. For the next several weeks whenever I was trying to sleep and heard the duct-work cooling and making that faint 'popping' sound in the vent I soiled myself.:(

taliendo 11-23-2003 09:28 PM

I have to say, there are some great picks here. The exorcist scared me so much when I was 10 that I didn't sleep for three days (hmmm...maybe that was the start of my insomnia.) Over all I think that Texas Chainsaw Massacre is the scariest movie I've ever seen as an adult (the original of course.)

Stylistically, Flatliners was a great movie too. Love that scene on the metro with the little girl cussing Kevin Bacon.

yellowgowild 11-23-2003 10:18 PM

The part that scared me the most in Exorcist was when the mother just got home and the lights were out, and there, over the stove was the face of the demon staring at her through the blackness. That's exactly the kind of thing I felt was watching me when I was alone in the dark. I felt that way before I saw the movie and the after I saw it my fears were justified.

The Ring was the most scary movie I've seen actually. Who would've thought a little girl could be so goddamned scary?

guthmund 11-23-2003 10:38 PM

The Exorcist was scary. And I thought the video and that creepy little girl from The Ring was pretty frightening.

I haven't seen a good scary movie in a while. The last one I remember scaring the bejeebus out of me was Children of the Corn. I seen it when I was fairly young and I remember it kept me up for a while.

MSD 11-23-2003 10:55 PM

At age 19, after seeing The Ring, it took me months to get to the point that I wouldn't have sudden panic or anxiety attacks while alone and in the dark. Just for comparison, seeing The Exorcist when I was 8 or 10 creeped me out for one night, maybe two.

hu-man 11-24-2003 12:41 AM

I saw The Seven Samurais when I was 2, past midnight, with my parents sleeping. Didn't move me one bit ;)
I actually thought The Blair Witch Project was really scary. I had heard the rumours, but knew they were actors and it was only a movie. But it was just so well done, and I saw it with some friends at night in total darkness. It creeped me out, mainly because the mood was just right I guess.
That's gotta be one of the most perfect ways to market a movie, by the way. Pure brilliance.

Mael 11-24-2003 06:57 AM

the one where harvey keitel shows full frontal... ew...

Charlatan 11-24-2003 08:28 AM

I'd have to say that Jaws really did it for me... of course I saw it when I was quite young and impressionable...

after that I would say Karen Black's Trilogy of Terror. The was three short scary stories. The one with the Zuni Fetish Doll that comes to life and chases her around an apartment with a knife seriously freaked me out... again saw this as a kid.

More recently I'd have to say that The Ring wins for the creepiest film of all time. Not so much scary as a slow burn creepfest... still sticks with me.

sailor 11-24-2003 01:46 PM

The Shining. Jack Nicholson just gives an incredible performance, and creeps me out.

Also, I found some of the scenes (especially the first one) in 28 Days Later to be pretty scary. They dont phase me anymore, but when I first watched it, that movie freaked me out.

RoboBlaster 11-24-2003 09:36 PM

Pee Wee's Big Adventure. If that scene with Large Marge didn't scare you, nothing will.

DonnieBoy 11-24-2003 10:10 PM

Flatliners was pretty scary for me it was the little boy in the hooded sweatshirt... also the omen I and II, after watching the kid falling through the ice... with him stuck under there and the people trying to break it to free him... i still can't go ice fishing for because of that damned movie...

and don't laugh but parts of watership down gave me nightmares for weeks... it was when the one bunny dies and afterwards you just see this black bunny silhouette hopping around... nightmare city

Aliens. When the "rescue" crew comes upon the lady pasted to the wall, and she's alive, then the chest-popper comes out of here while she's still moving...then I believe they set her on fire to kill the chest-popper. Gave me nightmares for weeks. I was like 9 or 10 or something. I wasn't even watching it. I walked into a hotel lobby while the desk clerk was watching it.

And I'm sorry, I have to politely disagree with hu-man. Blair Witch was possibly one of the stupidest things I've ever seen. But hey, to each his own. I'm glad someone liked it.

t3m3st 11-25-2003 12:51 PM

ET gave me nightmares

WinterScar 11-25-2003 04:29 PM

I think you all owe it to yourselves to watch Ju-On: The Grudge. Next to The Eye, it's the scariest movie I've seen. And there are a lot of scares in it.

Asian horror movies are still way better than western horror movies.

ickma 11-25-2003 08:05 PM

A lot of people say that the ring is the scariest movie in the world but I have yet to see it. Apparently the part in Willy Wonka where they take the boat ride into the tunnel was so scary that even Fox wouldn't air it. And this was meant to be a G-rated childrens movie. The part of the Exorcist I remember the most was when she ran down the stairs upside down and hands first and then shot blood everywhere. It was so quiet and then BAM. It also helps that people only go down the stairs like that by accident.

wilbjammin 11-25-2003 08:10 PM

The Ring did it to me... upon the second viewing I realized that it was the audio tracks that did it to me. I'm very sensitive to sound.

Additionally, Event Horizon creeped me out big time.

ironchefkorea 11-25-2003 08:46 PM

Unfortunately I was trapped in a rehab/private school/concentration camp for the past few months and I missed 28 days, among other things...I'll have to rent it, I always hoped it would be Resident Evil done correctly.

Anyway, I would have to say that the scariest movie I've ever seen is Lynch's Mulholland Drive. It wasn't meant to be a scary film, but it had scenes where I was just totally confused and mindfucked, then out of nowhere something crazy would occur to scare the piss out of me.

The black screen and white face shot of pazazu (the demon) from the exorcist brings that film to a close second place, though.

If that movie freaked you out, you should definetely check out Lost Highway. my favorite Lynch flic.

I also have to say the Gremlins frightened the bejeebus out of me as a child. I had nightmares from like the age of 2 until I was about 12 or 13. Damn gremlins!

smeesh 11-26-2003 12:31 AM

Rosemary's Baby is a pretty darn scary movie. Not crap your pants, jump out of your seat scary... but very mentally creepy.

Well done too. A must see for any movie lover.

That movie scared the crap out of me as a youngster!

Easytiger 11-26-2003 02:26 PM

The Ring, Hollywood version. (The Japanese version, which I saw later, is still scary but vaguely silly...I can't explain it.)
I was 27 when I saw it and I didn't sleep at all that night. I'm kind of ashamed to say that I had to get on to the film website the next morning and look up tons of information on it just to reasssure myself that it was just a movie.

Bob Biter 11-26-2003 02:50 PM

I was scared by the common scary movies when I was younger (Alien, Exorcist, The Shining, etc.), but as an adult, the only movies that actually got a rise out of me were The Ring (American version), because I've always been afraid of water when I can't see the bottom, so that well scene at the end made me shit myself, and In The Mouth Of Madness, starring Sam Neil. In the beginning of that movie, Sam is sitting in a cafe with this woman discussing something. There's a large window right next to them, which gives you a nice view of the street and the people across it. Then, a guy with a trenchcoat stops on the other side, looks your way, then approaches the window. I never noticed him until he was right by the window, looking inside at Sam Neil, holding a fire ax. I don't know why, but that scared the fuck outta me.

Evil Milkman 11-28-2003 05:15 PM

The most recent scary movie I've seen is 28 Days Later. I was grateful that there were other people in the theatre...

Lasereth 11-28-2003 10:15 PM

I'll have to say that the only movie that has had me creeped out recently is The Shining. We watched it three times in a row on Halloween last year, and every fucking time it got me. I had never seen it before. I've seen The Ring since then, and it simply wasn't as scary as everyone says. My brother did tell me a few things about it, but he said it still should have been scary as hell. And it wasn't. :( I watched it at 9:00 PM in the dark as well!

The Shining just had the whole "big mansion nobody here but ghosts and a psycho" thing going. Retro Crush's scariest movie moments of all time had the scariest part of The Shining: when the wife is running up the stairs of the mansion away from Jack, and she looks across the hall. You see a doorway, and inside the door is a man sitting on the couch with another man in a bear-suit kneeling down in front of him staring STRAIGHT at the camera. People who've seen this scene probably know what I'm talking about. Me and my 21 year old friend almost pissed our pants and had heart attacks simultaneously just because of that one scene. The "weird" parts of that movie were way scarier than the actual "scary" parts.

Hell yeah, gotta agree, that scene was so incredibly unexpected and weird, definately one of the best frights in any movie.

eris 11-29-2003 11:00 AM

First EVIL DEAD, SUSPERIA (actually any Argento film), Blair Witch, Gothic (no not teh recent Gothica - the one with Julian Sands), Picnic at Hanging Rock. All those are good for fright...

The first time I watched it I thought Sam Neill was going to eat me while I slept. And I was 22.

Man, Event Horizon didn't scare me as much as make me dizzy and give me a headache. The tried a full assault on the viewers senses with that movie.


Exorcist is one of my picks. But it loses points for resorting, in my opinion, to cheap quick cuts and those kind of scares where something jumps out from the side of the screen.

The Original TCM was much more unsettling.

Then there's Nightmare on Elm Street which scared the shit out of me when I was a kid. But doesn't do much anymore. Although I still think it's kind of creepy.

3zos 12-01-2003 03:11 AM

The Ring is overrated IMO. I haven't yet seen The Eye but it looks promising.

The Shining is one of the all-time shityourpants scary films, both on cheap jump tactics and the psychological factor.

Though it doesn't get me as much anymore, Night of the Living Dead, the remake, creeped me out. Tony Dodd getting killed after becoming a zombie, just so damn unfair.

As of late, imagery and actual plot are what scare me. Hellraiser is downright mindfuckery (concept of a skewed heaven and hell.. for those who have seen it "jeeesus weept, hahahahaha")
Event Horizon would have been better had they gone to hell, but the scenes of abject perversion make it one of the betters. In the Mouth of Madness is one of the better films depicting Cthulu, though it didnt seem to have that realistic edge to it.. didnt really frighten me so much as fascinate. Plus Sam Neil is a spectacular actor.

As for 28 Days Later, thats more of a social commentary than anything else. Its a very eery film, seeing London deserted is surreal enough. Certainly the running infected give the zombie genre a shot in the arm :p

If anyone else has anything to recommend please make yourself known... im off to try to find copies of HR2/3 for an initial viewing... "well tear your soul apart"

rocinante2003 12-01-2003 07:00 AM

The Blair Witch Project got me and my better half. But in all honesty, the Ring was one of the scariest movies I have seen.
