The most terrifying thing you've ever watched (or read)?

Post Reply New Topic

The scariest movies I've ever seen are probably Event Horizon and the original Amityville Horror. I couldn't sleep for like a month after watching Event Horizon lol, I don't really like horror as a genre much but that movie was very well done. Alien was pretty scary too, the first one.

Yes! I still have that book from when I was younger. I read it from time to time, just because the art freaks me out.

Anyway, I f*****g love everything horror, it is one of my major obsessions. But I won't make tons of lists of everything I like.

I'll just mention one thing for now. The movies Trilogy of Terror and its sequel had this little tribal fetish doll that went around killing people. I started watching horror movies when I was around 6, I saw Trilogy of Terror soon after that. To this day, that stupid doll scares the hell out of me. I've watched and read plenty of scary, dark, bloody, chilling, and disturbing movies and books, but that doll still frightens me and I don't know why.

The Mist , though in retrospect it was a bit more depressing than scary

The scariest book I ever read was a manga called Uzumaki which is about a town that is cursed and it is related to spirals. That was the first manga I ever read and it scared me for about a few days after I read that.

I saw most of "The Shining". That was too scary for me to finish watching. I avoid horror films at all cost now. I don't even watch rated "R" stuff.

The movie preview for The Shining that had been advertized on TV used to scare the living poop out of me as a kid. In particular the image of an axe wielding Jack Nicholson half limping/half running in silhouette. I spent a lot of sleepless nights imagining Jack limping down my street at night with that axe!

The most terrifying thing I saw wasn't that scary but the concept terrified me as a child. I saw the movie The Omen and it really terrified me to the point I was afraid to sleep at night.

Me too! In fact, I still recall a nightmare I had had after seeing the movie on TV.

I was the type of kid who would watch Tales from the Crypt every Saturday (yeah, that kind of parenting), so very little really got to me. However, I would say that Silence of the Lambs really DID freak me out when I watched it at age 7, for this reason: during the prison/ambulance scene (I'm not giving it away) I looked over at my mom, who had passed out. Turns out she had cut herself shaving before the movie began, and a long, dark trail of blood was leaking down her leg. I don't think I ever screamed that much at a movie.

It's too bad. Silence of the Lambs is one of my favorite films now, but it took me ten years to even watch it again.

Personally, I have no problem with the way you were raised. I grew up watching horror movies, as my Dad had been a sci-fi-horror-fantasy buff. I even let my daughter watch stuff like that.

As a kid I read a book about some kind of amulet and a ghost that kept me up all night for a month or more but I can't remember the damn name of it. @#$^%! Sorry.

Jersey Shore - I'm glad that nightmare will be over soon!

The banned documentary "Faces Of Death" including live footage of accidents, murder, suicide etc... was probably the sickest

I remember Faces Of Death from when I was a kid, and even then, I knew a certain degree of it was obviously staged. Such as when the camera allegedly filmed a death row inmate dying in the electric chair. They don't allow news cameras into an execution, so they certainly wouldn't allow some scumbag movie maker in.

Read: The Green Mile by Stephen King. (its far more graphic in the book)

Seen: Grimm Love

But my all time most terrifying thing ever is E.T. I ran out of the theater as a child in terror and then was haunted by the merchandise that followed its populairty. I still can't look at it. I thinks its those giants eyes.

I own Grimm Love, as a matter of fact. And yes, I agree, it is a very disturbing movie. Everyone I've lent it to, I've dared them to watch the whole thing.
