Most frightening movies you've seen?

Post Reply New Topic

It was never that big onscreen and had low stars.
But I think Stephen King's Pet Semetary was and still is the scariest movie. The sequel didn't even compare.
Movies now have to many speacial effects and glamorous lookinf ppl. Pet Semetary had a creep atmosphere as well as creepy stuff going on and ppl you'd see yourself running into.

I still shiver everytime I see that movie.

To everyone who thinks The Ring is scary: You havent watched enough horror movies!

The scariest movies I've seen:

The Birds
The Thing
Nightmare on Elm Street 2 and 3
The Excorcist
Village of the Damned
The Excorcist: The Beginning

Salò o le 120 giornate di Sodoma.
I win. Mostly because I watched the whole thing. (Someone I know is a collector of rare DVDs, I borrowed this along with the 1994 "Fantastic Four" movie)

But for movies that aren't THAT freaky, I'd say Zombi 2 was the scariest film i've ever seen.

I wouldn't call it the scariest but a really great and effective horror movie I just saw was "The Mist." Really shook me up, in a good way.

I wasn't expecting that because the trailers looked bad and the monster effects in it are TERRIBLE, but the fact that it managed to be so intense despite that is a huge testament to its freakiness. It's a shame the effects weren't better because then it would have been something amazing indeed. As it is, it's still highly recommended to fans of horror, Stephen King. It was from the same director as "The Shawshank Redemption" and "The Green Mile," which were very different but were also based on Stephen King stories.

There was one movie many years ago when I was around 3 or 4 age and living in Florida. It was something about these voodoo dolls or whatever they were that somehow came to life and would kill people. That movie scared me for weeks afterwards.

I actually covered my eyes when I watched RoboCop 2. Gruesome.

I recall being very frightened by A Clockwork Orange and Fellini Satyricon when I first them. But I think that was partly because I was watching them in a theatre and it was the first time seeing them. Now I've seen them again and again and again, and don't find them frightening at all. Just beautiful.

For me:

Your typical Japanese demon girl thing horror movies.

E.T. scared the s**t out of me when I was a kid, still does. The night I first saw it I had a nightmare that E.T. was chasing me around a hotel room with a straight-razor.

Trinity and Beyond - The Atomic Bomb Movie. Not your conventional horror movie, but a great documentary about the nuclear arms race and the tests involved with the bombs (includes actual footage of various animals placed at increments of distance from ground zero while the bombs are going off).

A few movies that have scared the crap out of me:

Hellraiser: Hellseeker

Jacob's Ladder

A Tale of Two Sisters

Audition (the last 10 minutes of the film.... *shudders*)

Child's Play (first one, when Chucky spins around and bites that girl, eep!)

A Nightmare on Elm Street 1 & 3 (the whole eating herself thing in the third one....)

Passion of The Christ (The satan baby scares me, as well as those demon kids that torment Judas)

The Ring (the actual videotape itself in The Ring is what really gets to me...)

The Exorcist makes me laugh for some reason. Especially when she keeps banging her head against the bed. I mean yes, the little girl looks pretty scary, but if you can get past that, it's pretty hilarious.

I agree the Pale Man in Pan's Labyrinth was freaking creeeeeeeeeepy.

"Lost Highway" by David Lynch was extremely unsettling, especially the first half.

I watched the first three minutes of Saw and it will stay with me forever...and not in a good way.

American Werewolf In London is an 18 but I don't think it's scary at all, I find it hilarious, especially when the guy woke up naked in London Zoo, LOL.

Hitchcock's Birds.
