Scary Movies

What's the scariest movie you've ever seen? I'm notorious for not being scared by movies, but I like to see them try!

My favorite creepy movies are The Ring, the 1922 silent Nosferatu (talk about a creepy vampire!) The Shining, and The Silence of the Lambs.

What about you?

Halloween takes the cake in my book. Absolute nail biter! The shining was good too, though the book scared me a whole lot more!

I think I have the book somewhere.. I like reading Stephen King.

sure, mmmmmm hhmmmmmm. lol. i like the 1979 dracula. when i was 11 i watched at like midnight and it was awesome! i really like the part where he crawls down the side of the wall.

I don't think I ever saw that one.

They're not scary, but I always like watching the old classic 30's monster movies (frankenstein, dracula, wolfman etc)

pet sematary for me, also the grudge really creeped me out even though there were a lot of people that thought it sucked.oh and house of a thousand corpses gave me a couple of sleepless nights!;) i just watched a whole series they did on the hundred most scary moments in movie history, its pretty good, i was surprised by their number one though

Movies where little kids get killed by monsters or the kids are possessed... those really freak me out.....

I thought the grudge was funny.. that was one where my mom was freaking out and I was giggling the whole time. She kept glaring at me. lol

Let me guess.. was the no. 1 the shower scene in Psycho?

nope it was the opening scene of jaws. i dont find jaws really scary at all, kinda funny actually, the thing for me and the grudge was that i was watching it by myself with no lights on during a storm, it was that creepy noise i think that got to me cos my refrigerator makes the same noise so once the movie was over and i was trying to go to sleep all i heard was that noise, and my thoughts went straight to that creepy bed scene

Only time I saw Jaws was in spanish, so it was dubbed.

Naturally I was laughing the whole time. :rolleyes:

wow, sounds more funny than the original!

anyone see final destination 2?


try watching that movie at 3 in the morning on a laptop round a camp fire at 3 in the morning in camp while flying hi on adrenaline, sugar, hotdogs, and some stuff ur not supposed to have under 21 (or at all in camp). it is the most frickin FUNNY movie under those circumstances (sp?)

cracks me up every time i watch it now

sonds like good times man!;):w00t:

Yeah I gatta agree with daniel, movies with possessed kids freak me out. something about evil kids just gives me the willies.

Anyone see the redeux of Exorcist?

When we saw it the theatre was chock full of high school kids heckling the movie, making fun of the choice scenes etc. Then when the girl came crawling down the stairs backwards and upside down - screams ensued. Half the theatre emptied out right there - honestly. No more heckles the rest of the film. I didn't think it was THAT scary - no more than the head that sprouted legs and crawled away in Carpenter's The Thing. I've never seen a reaction like that to a film.

My dad went to see Jaws when it came out in theatres - dragged me along and I was MAYBE in kindergarten at best. That did a number on me and the ocean for a few years hehe. He apparently STILL gets chewed out for that anytime I mention it.

No WAY movies can compete with books though as far as freaking/frightening you - you bring all your own baggage into those and can't hude behind someone else's interpretation.

This is pretty freaky though:

oh i completly agree, books are always the best spine chillers!

the leprachaun (i think thats what it was called) freaked me out soooooo bad!!! i hate scary movies!!!

What's the movie with the rats? Willard?
Shudder...

That or "Graveyard Shift".



Books = "The Shining" for teh win.

I thought the recent Willard movie was pretty bad.

I guess I need to read the shining. I've read a lot of other King books, but not that one..

king is awesome, i find the books way scarier than the movies

The books don't really scare me either, but they're fun anyway.

Do. It's the only one by him i found appreciably scary at all. That and the Amityville Horror (book by Jay Ansen I think - the movies were silly).

Once I see a copy at the used book store, I'll pick it up. I don't have it yet, it turns out. (and why pay $5 or more for it when I can get it for 50 cents?)

Alibris.com or ebay, baby! hehe

I am cut from that same cloth though not frugal by choice lol.

Dont have any movies that have ever scared me, but one of my favorite "scary movies" is My Bloody Valentine. You know...one of those good ole 70's scary movies...

Amityville Horror, the first one. Admit it, it was at least shocking, if not really scary. The pig face in the window.. had me scared to look out windows for weeks after.
The Shining.. too traumatic to even think about, lol. The old lady in the tub...

But now, nothing really shocks me, being that I am older. I will sit and eat pizza while watching morbid-obesity surgery.

Yeah the rotting lady in the tub was pretty bad.

Surgery shows are kind of icky sometimes, but they're interesting too..

Anybody ever see the documentary about the body farm? Urgh.. that was simply nauseating, but morbidly facinating.

oh yea, the shining, i remeber when i got to the rottin lady in the tub, i literally closed the book, cos it freaked me out

Dear Lord!!! You haven't seen JAWS? I'm shocked, lol, that is one of my all time absolute favorite movies. I too am not scared by movies, but love scary movies anyway.... and like you, I thought the Grudge was absolutely hilarious! I have never in my life laughed out loud in a movie theatre until I saw that. I also have about 30 old horror moves (40's-70's) on dvd... yeah I'm a dork. And The Shining was way better in book form! Ok I'm done typing now :)

Well, I HAVE seen Jaws, just.. en espanol.

Salems Lot scared the crap out of me! :) I was like 10 yrs old when I saw it.

For me it has to be the omen not THAT WAS SCARY!!!
