yeah, i'm with you jo! i can't stand monster movies because they're so unbelievable and get on my nerves. and the serial killer type movies creep me out too much and i have nightmares later. so i save myself some trouble and just don't watch them.

I have a hard time enjoying some of the Stephen King movies because I've read all the books. IT, is a MUCH better book then movie, so many things they skipped over for the movie, that, even after watching and reading horror since I was five get me to feel spooked.

IT, Cujo, Pet Semetary and The Stand are amazing books that fans of the movies should read. They're 10x scarier.

IT scared me when I was a kid too....I rented it a few months ago and was laughing at how cheesy it is now days....

Horror movies don't really scare but one thing that did scare the life out of me was a hoax programme the BBC aired about fifteen years ago on halloween night. Me and four mates watched it, we were all around sixteen, seventeen years old. During the programme one of my mates bolted out of the house he was that feared and another became nauseas and refused to watch the rest of it.

Now with the benefit of hindsight you can look back on it and see it for what it was but at the time it scared the bejesus out of us. The BBC had to apology the next day because the film caused a massive uproar and apparently a few people topped themselves, blaming the programme in their suicide notes. With us being irish and raised on ghost stories, banshees and haunted houses we fell for it

Anyway heres a small clip of said programme. Look out for the curtains when the camera is panning round in the first segment

I will watch that video once my kids are sleeping. I don't want to scare the little ones lol.


The silence of the lambs is a fav too.

As well as Amityville horror.

Jeepers creepers OMG, I could NOT go outside to smoke after dark after I watched that movie. It scared the crap out of me. I was terrified for months of that thing.

Fergie, interesting clip, could you give us more info, I'd be curious to see the whole thing.

Me too... I just watched it. I want to see more.

the amityville horror was one that i couldn't stand watching after reading the book. i thought it was a horrible chop job!

Not necessarily a traditional horror flick: but Alien and Aliens still give me a jump or two when I watch them!
