Favorite classic (or new) scary movies???

Since its Halloween, I thought I would ask. What are your fav. scary movies past and present.

Two of my very favorites from when I was young are

Monster Squad (not really scary but a good monster movie)
The Lost Boys
Poltergeist
Betelgeuse


There are too many new ones to list

I love the Saw series
Hostel
The Hills have eyes
Rob Zombies movies
28 days later, and the sequel, will there be 3rd???
The Exorcism of Emily Rose. Shaun now hates demon movies because of this one!

I know I am forgetting some.

I LOVE horror movies!
To add to the list

Texas Chainsaw Masacre
Nightmare on Elm St.
Hellraiser
Pet Cemetary
Dawn of the Dead

Good Choices, I knew I was forgetting a few lol.

I don't think Saw is neccesairly (sp?) scary, it's just gross!
I think The Blair Witch Project is the scariest movie I ever saw. I'm getting goosebumps right now, as I write about it. Um... especially the end.. where the go into the basement and one of the guys is in the corner, and then the girl and her friend scream and drop the cameras. Also when they're in the tent and you can hear children laughing and the whole tent shaking. (And they're all alone in the forest.. actually video taping it, this is not really a movie, a documentary, since I believe they said it's real) You can't imagine how I felt. I didn't sleep for weeks, and I had to be alone at home every day, I stopped eating, and I was just so freaked out. To make it worse my friend (whom I had a huge crush on :P) made it worse by putting that figure, person, stick thing near my bed.. This was about 2 years ago and I watched my first scary movie since then a week ago. I pissed my pants, literally, and I almost cried, I was shaking... my mother and I left before it ended.

Oh, and I think what added to my "phobia" is that I lived in a house that was haunted, after I saw that movie, I saw like a shadow person, heard people talking... One of the worst years of my life basiclly..
sorry, long post!

The Blair witch project was alright (later to be dtermined as a hoax) I heard there was some truth to the story behind it. The film was not real though. The second movie was way better.

I too got really freaked out after watching that movie, we were walking home from the theater and we had to walk through a forrest to get back to my house. With thunder and lighting and rain, fun times lol.

I found out some interesting things about where that was filmed though. I have friends that hunt there.


If you want something to really freak you out, read about the Jersey Devil and the Pine Barrens:D THAT is some creepy stuff. I have been through there many times. My mom was terrified to even drive through it.

Abbot and Castello meet the wolf man

Barney.

omg! i think i saw IT like a thousand times when i was little! i loved it but it scared me SO much! after i saw it the first time, for like a month, whenever i was in the bathroom, i'd check out all the faucets and drains to make sure there was nothing coming out or anything!

I can't watch the blood and gore slasher type movies but for me the ones that really scare the beejesus out of me are always the psycho killer/serial killer type ones. Silence of the Lambs is a classic scary movie for me. Also anything supernatural like The Amityville Horror type movie gives me the absolute creeps for weeks. :O
