Scariest movie you've seen

The changling, only because I watched it and then had to walk on an old dirt road through the woods home, and I am talking about a road that had been closed to traffic for more than 100 years. I have told this story on Prime before so I won't get into all the details. It was really dark that night, I couldn't even see a foot or two ahead and I walked right into someone else walking on the same trail. :eek:

I'm curious and have not heard the story, so.......
 
Scary movies to me were IT, The Ring, Carrie, Psycho, Nightmare on Elm St. before it got cheesy, The Shining, etc
 
I screwed up and watched Halloween when I was a kid:eek: couldn't sleep for weeks...It's still frickin scary to watch at home alone:redface:


anything with posession and ghost are always scary....Amityville Horror, Excorsist, Shining, the Omen, etc....
 
Thanks guys these are some good post. What was the movie with Harrison Ford and Michelle Phiffer, that he killed some girl and her ghost came back to haunt them? He was a Dr. of some sort. Does anybody remember that one?
 
I once told my son when he was 13 "Blair Witch Project" was a real documentary

Might be in the minority here but after I saw Blair Witch Project, my only thoughts were, "I paid how much to watch that thing?" The movie did nothing for me I never figured out what all the hype was about.
 
The Grudge

Several days after I saw the movie..I came home and saw hand prints going down my stairs as though someone crawled down and left prints in the carpet.

1. The carpet was freshly vacuumed the day before
2. NO ONE other than myself has keys to the house
3. I live alone
4. I turned right back down the stairs, and went to a friends house to drink:redface:

haha... yeah, someone wanted to F-with you pretty badly :wink:

that'd creep the heck out of me too
 
If you leave all the "Shock" movies out of it (Startling rather than scary) I'd have to say American werewolf in london and the first Alien. Splatter and dudes waving chainsaws don't do it for me personally anymore. Ho-hum.

Been working on Cloverfield. Pretty scary in a "WTF was that?" and "Holy Crap, we're toast" sort of way. Get the popcorn.

Movie = What Lies Beneath

When was a kid, Poltergeist scared the dog doo out of me. Watched it again not too long ago. *yawn*
 
I'm not the biggest gore movie fan, but the scariest movie that I can remember seeing considering my age at the time (11) was Alien. I remember seeing it with my father while we were on vacation at Nantucket and we had to walk back to the marina at night. Holy $hit did that movie scare the fvck out of me!

HAHA. Same here, my aunt took me to see the first Alien movie and I wasn't even 5. I remember being terrified, I ought to thank that bitch!

I was 12 when I saw The Exorcist. That's the scariest movie I've ever seen to date, probably because of the way the movie was shot and the mood it projects. Very haunting and I love how every character is well developed and suffers the same because of the girl.

Right now, nothing in movies can scare me. There has not been one "horror" movie in the last 10 years or more that looked appealing to go and see. I'll give an honorable mention to "House of 1000 Corpses" but that was a slasher movie and I really don't see what's scary about seeing someone get chopped into bits...

"Scary" movies rely too much on two things these days:
- Overfilling movies with scenes that will get you to jump out of your seat, which is the oldest formula in the book. At this point it's ridiculous.
- Gore, blood and a seemingly indestructible psychopath. Scary blood huh?? I'd be scared if i've never had a nosebleed before. You've seen one, you've seen them all - Jason, Freddy, "Halloween" movies, "TX Chainsaw", "Saw" movies, "House of Wax". I didn't see that last one though :) but you get the point, right? A generic revolving plot.

I liked the first "Saw" because I felt it was well written and had great twists and mind games in it. But the sequels were just unnecessary!

Sorry about a long rant but Hollywood has been quite disappointing in the last few years!
