Scariest movie ever seen?

[Hoofbite]

When I was like 4, I watched Pumpkinhead.

That movie terrified me. We had a tree outside my window and I those limbs looked like Pumpkinheads long nasty fingers.

That movie haunted me for a long time.

I actually thought The Strangers was pretty scary just because it could happen. No indestructible monsters. Just crazy humans killing for the sake of killing.

Large Marge scared the ---- out of me!!

I knew a kid in HS who lost a bet and tattooed "large" on his right thigh and "marge" on his left thigh.

I haven't seen it but yet but another friend told me it is ridiculous.

 

[Hostile]

The Exorcist.

 

[Faerluna]

Prince of Darkness definitely scared the crap out of me at the time. I was 17 and we saw it in the theater.

More recently, we watched Hostel a few years ago which really was scary and revolting in that "this could easily happen irl" kind of way.

 

[TheDallasDon]

The Exorcist.

This!!!!!! Man I watched this as a child and it still gets 2 me.

Scary movie don't work for me but, The Exorcist did, infact I don't even watch it any more!!! lol

 

[YosemiteSam]

All of the the Waltons Reunion movies.

I don't usually watch horror movies and can't really remember any that scared me. As a kid I remember the Omen movies scaring the crap out of me. The demon possession type movie were the ones that scared me back then. Of course my parents checking my head for a 666 might have had a little to do with that. :laugh1:

 

[Aikmaniac]

John Carpenter's Halloween

 

[Boom]

I haven't been actually frightened by a movie since I was a child. Those include:

Halloween (nightmares for quite awhile)
Carrie (last scene.. oh my)
Exorcist
The Shining
Salem's Lot

Some movies will give me chills though:

The Ring
Ju-on (creepy kid is creepy)
Silence of the Lambs
Seven

In the honor of Paranormal Activity 2's release tomorrow, my question to you is what is the scariest movie you've ever seen?

My answer is Paranormal Activity 1. Man I couldn't sleep for a week.
:laugh2:

I love scary movies...they're my favorite.

Really liked 1 and 2 is supposed to be better.

Going to see it tonight.

There was a movie called The Descent which came out a few years back. That movie had some suspenseful parts in it.

The scene, from Salem's Lot, in which the vampire kids are floating outside the kids bedroom door freaked me out when I was young.

That movie was surprisingly good and had some real tension at times.

Salem's Lot as a kid...scary stuff.

Blair witch project...late at night.......out on the woods.....would shake anybody..

A lot of people don't like this movie...I did.

And the last scene when she is screaming running through the house and see's her friend standing in the basement corner...sends chills down my spine.

Phantasm

Just watched part of that the other day.

That movie freaked my friend out as a kid.

Halloween.

Simply a Classic.

Prince of Darkness definitely scared the crap out of me at the time. I was 17 and we saw it in the theater.

My wife and I really like that one...it's a guilty pleasure.

Liquid Satan.



And of course the Exorcist is great.

Seeing 'Night of the Living Dead' at 13 gave me a neurosis about locking the doors to the house before going to bed, for years.

Other films that were very creepy to me were, 'Whatever Happened to Baby Jane' and 'Last House on the Left' (the 1972 Wes Craven version), both of which have no monsters, just people who are monsters.

Horrible mentions for 'Alien', 'Evil Dead 2', and the 'Hellraiser' series.

I don't really like horror movies. I tend to avoid them if at all possible.

That said, when I did watch them, the only that stuck was Birds by Alfred Hitchcock.

I still hate being under a flock of birds. I drove into a parking lot that had a bunch of them sitting on a power line and I kept driving. Didn't even bother trying to get out of the car.

.... *shivers*

You really don't want to know about Hitchcock's original intended ending for The Birds then.

If you like wacked out endings, checkout the movie In The Mouth of Madness.

There was also an old movie about rats that still bothers me. It was like these big humongous rats attacking ppl. *shivers*

The birds wouldn't bother me but I wouldn't want them to do what they do when I went under them. :laugh2:

Have not been scared by a movie since I was a little kid.

There have been some that have creeped me out a tad.

However there was on Stephen King movie that for whatever reason gave me fitful dreams for a couple of nights. Weird because I did not think it was one of his better movies nor did I really find it scary.

Can not even think of the name of it but it was the one where some force was trying to take all of the kids in a town. Think it was made for a TV movie and not one of his regular books.

Makeup wise I don't think you can beat the exorcists because even today it still holds it's weight compared to other horror movies.

 

[Wimbo]

Steel Magnolias.

 

[JohnnyHopkins]

Jennifer Lopez movies terrify me to the core.

You're not thinking of "It," are you? Maybe "Storm of the Century?"

Wasn't the original last house on the left banned in certain countries? But I agree, it was definitely an unnerving movie... got a bit silly toward the end though.
