Deliverance.

sk

nightmare on elm street scared me. just the idea of being attacked at your most vulnerable and never being able to out run it.

poltergiest- could not have any "snowy" tv's on anywhere in the house (ok, so I was 6)

a trilogy of terror- that little doll freaked me out, and still does...

Event horizon- never freaked me out, just way too much loud noises and flash- not enough substance, or maybe it just did not get to me.

Candyman was a great movie. It has some really scary moments.
But the scariest movie for me of all time is Gremblins. I saw the original when I was little and it gave me nightmares for days.

Event Horizon was a great movie, and it did freak me out like few movies have.

Also, does anyone agree most "horror" movies today are just gore-filled-body-count-films with nothing scary at all in them really? Most of the scary movies that freak you out are the Supense movies. Signs was the last scary movie I've seen but the ending left me with mixed emotions.

Here are two new additions to the list of Rings and Shinings.

1. Jacob's Ladder
2. 28 Days Later

Lots of blood and guts in 28 Days, but it works because it's subordinate to something scarier. The implications of that film keep me up at night.

I'm also surprised no one listed Jacob's Ladder. Makes the hair on my neck stand up just thinking about it. It's been a few years since I've seen it and I don't think I'll see it again.

The scene when the girlfriend is repeatedly asking Tim Robbins 'is anybody home', each time she asks the camera does an immediate zoom on her face which begins to look more and more like a demon with each zoom. But it happens so fast you barely notice. Yikes.

I have to add Requiem For a Dream, I know it isn't a scary movie, but it seriously gave me that freaked out feeling when the movie was over. And you have to love that 1 song they play over and over in the movie, does anyone know what its called?

If you can suspend your disbelief long enough to watch St. Francisville Experiment, I highly recommend it. I thought it was a real documentary when I first saw it, and it scared the bejeebus outta me. It does seem to get just plain silly after watching it once though.

Seven

The one about the seven deadly sins!!


Panic Room

EXORCIST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm sorry to say I havnt seen of the classic's like "the exorcist" and "the shinning", so "The Ring" would be the scariest movie I've seen to date.

Kronos Quartet - Lux Aeterna

-Lasereth

I just didn't find The Ring scary at all. I even watched it at night with the lights off and it still didn't freak me out. I'm not sure why.

-Lasereth

I guess I could say chucky (childsplay) too. Dosnt scare me today, but when I was little, oh man...I cried for hours when I saw the cover for it in the video store once...God I was terrified.

The first horror movie I ever watched was the first Nightmare on Elm Street. I watched it on a Friday nite on HBO when the babysitter was over, and she only let me and my brother watch it if we promised not to tell my parents she let us. FREAKIN' SCARED THE SHIT OUT OF ME!!!!
