Crap all the good ones have been said already but along with most of the ones above:

Halloween
Candyman
and this sci fi original movie or maybe it was an ep of twilight zone where people in the future have comps in their heads all linking to a main comp that malfunctions

Jaws, for sure. No ocean swimming for me.

Poltergiest scared the crap out of me. Clowns are bad!

Silence of the Lambs - because there really are people out there like that.

Howard the Duck.. It made me afraid to pay to see a movie for a long time.

I forgot to add The Day After. I was 13 when I saw it and spent the next few years waiting to die in a nuclear war.

It sucked.

I've never seen Vanilla Sky, but I've seen the original Spanish versoin, "Open Your Eyes," and that freaked me out pretty good. I'm sure there's many more, I just can't think of them right now.

Pretty much my entire childhood of watching the X-Files, Outer Limits, and every single SciFI special has me paranoid about everything for life. :p

Of course, I'm also scared to death of E.T., Willy Wonka, and the Wizard of Oz, so maybe I should just get some help. :lol:

Man, when I was little, that flick scared the crap out of me too. But I saw it years later, and that took the sting out of it.

Except for the clown.

About a week after watching the ring, I was doubling the TV and the computer (the TV is behind me, so I occasionaly turn around - but I mostly listen), and the TV suddenly went static.. I flipped to another channel - yep, static. They were all static. It ended up being that the cable wire fell out. Needless to say it scared the living shit out of me. twice.

The first step to fixing a problem is admitting you have one ;) :icare:

Anyhoo...the only one that sticks out to me at the moment is 8mm...boy did that movie just sicken me.

For some reason the original Hobbit movie, the cartoon, freaked me out! What's the name of the creature that lives in the lake under the mountain? I can still have nightmares about him.

I don't remember the name, but the one where the guy calling from the upstairs phone asking if you have checked on the kids---totally freaks me out--used to babysit a lot

Sixth Sense,

Thinking some ghost will pop out of nowhere.

Panic Room - I live in a big house.

The Sixth Sense and The Eye

They didn't make me paranoid, because I was allready scared to death of the things those movies show.

"Poltergiest scared the crap out of me."

When i was 5 or 6 my evil cousin showed that to me while at a cottage. That night..staring out the window into a forest of all to creepy looking trees...it still haunts me to this day.

The Ring, mostly because my friend knew i was watching it and called up with the seven days thing, kinda spooked me a bit.

The X-file episode where the guy has the alien pop out of him while in the shower and go into the drain...I didn't bathe for weeks, much to the disdain of my classmates.

The Ring, for obvious reasons.
Memento, you need to see it....
The Others, just a great twist ending.
Christine (The Stephen King movie), I was very very nice to my car for a while after that.
Sphere, the whole underwater atmosphere adds to the freakiness.

Idiotically enough, "Jeepers Creepers" made me paranoid about driving on highways alone for a while.

"Aliens" scared me when I was little.

surely enough i've almost gone insane thinking about the message in the Matrix.Truely i have almost snapped.Until i forced myself to regain control.But until recently another thing has been bugging me.What about the thought of you being the only one in the universe and you are dreaming all of this?What IF this really is sudo reality?

Spaceballs

Scratch another one for Donnie Darko, Fight Club was just plain awesome.

This is so true!!!!!

Skippy

Okay. here goes

The Game- Michael Douglas and Sean Penn, that was a complete mind fuck

The Cube - great film that not too many people saw

Enemy of the State- Yes this is really happening

The Ring- Great flick that doesnt have a happy ending.

great call on consipracy theory.. also still look over my shoulder after watching the original night of the living dead too... call me a baby.. but wiggs me out.

YEEESSSS!!! Oh my <i>god</i> that movie screwed with my head.

The Spanish Prisoner - Heist/con flick that you don't see coming at ALL. David Mamet screenplay, so you know it's going to be fucked up.

Sleuth -- GREAT old '70's film with Lawrence Olivier and Michael Caine.

People have already said Memento---I walked out of that movie with the compulsion to write myself notes so I'd know what I was doing in ten minutes.

I remember in about 7th grade or soemthing, i saw candyman with some other friends and we were daring everyone to say candyman (3 or was it 5?) times into the bathroom mirror. Needless to say, no one did it. Damn that was a scary night.

When i saw the nightmare on elm street movies when i was a kid i was afraid to sleep for a while.

Argreed, Candyman made me scared of going into a bathroom with the lights out

Event horizion - I will never set foot and a space ship headed for hell now :)

Donnie Darko: sombody said that i don't think that would make me paranoid but did make me think.

The Ring: I think i watched it in a bad mood cause i thought it was stupid, and not scary

Freddy vs. Jason : The drowned him and then made the mistake of killing his mother

( well fuck i hate it when i make that mistake )

My Shyla just saw the ring a few days ago, she said it was pretty creepy. I think I should watch it next time it comes on :)

Other than that, no movies have ever bothered me. Even when I was little my parents let me rent all those R rated horror movies and shit and they never did anything for me :(

One. The Omega Man. When I saw it as a kid and when I see it now. Just thinking about it bugs me.

The Ring....hell, I didn't even finish watching it! :o
The Shining....too many things to mention with that one.
Ohhh...and drat - this is driving me nuts because I can't remember the name. It was about vampires and in this one scene a guy (turned vamp) went to his friends place and was trying to get in....he was scratching on the window. To this day if I hear a tree branch making noise against a window I turn to jelly.
The Omen......yikes!

*EDIT... Salem's Lot was the name of the movie I was trying to remember. *shivers*

Does anyone have the picture of the well from the Ring?

Blair Witch Project and the original Night of the Living Dead.

But Silent Hill hill trumps them all. I realize it's a game, not a movie, but damn, that game scared the hell out of me. Gave me nightmares, the jitters, and every time I heard radio static I started looking for what was coming to get me...

Amityville Horror

Minx you should read the book (Salems lot I mean).

I don't understand why Fight Club is scary, could you please explain? I really liked the movie, and it was a big surprise about what the big surprise was (don't want to ruin it for those who haven't seen it), but I didn't find it scary.
Is it the "what evil lurks in the hearts of men" kind of thing?
Just wondering
:confused:

my thread was about paranoia not what scares you

any upadate on a picture of that well?

X files would be the most paranoid thing for me.

Blair Witch. Saw the film before it was released in san diego. Freaked me out.

And basically any old horror film. AFter i watch one. I have trouble trying to fall asleep.

"The Stepfather" (the first one).

Caddyshack 2. I thought someone was playing a Joke on me that a movie could be made so bad.

The Truman Show made me paranoid of being watched all the time >_>
