Night Elf Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 I just posted about the movie Halloween. It made me wonder about the scariest movie I've ever seen. I think I'd have to say The Shining with Jack Nicholson. If you have ever watched scary movies, what's the scariest one you've seen? You know, I've never seen Psycho? I think I might need to see it just so I can say I've seen it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-rap Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 In general I don't like scary movies, and I don't think I've ever seen a modern scary one! But, I've seen Psycho and The Birds, and both were really scary!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dandelion Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 I couldn't sleep for months after watching Silence of the Lambs. It really, really freaked me out in a way that no other movie has. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onceuponatime Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 I don't watch scary movies as a rule, but when I was 18 I was tricked into watching When A Stranger Calls and I was very angry at the person afterward. He just thought it was funny. If I had had more gumption at the time, I would have found a way to leave or request that the movie be stopped.

Seasider Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Signs Jurassic Park The Village The Haunting (I think that's the name, the one with Nicole Kidman) I don't care for slasher flicks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plain jane Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 I don't like creepy-scary movies like The Exorcist or movies with similar themes so I have not watched any like that. There seems to be a lot of previews for such movies on TV and the previews are creepy enough for my liking. The scariest I've seen that stick out in my mind are "I am Legend" and the newest version of King Kong. Ack. That movie made Jurassic Park seem like a Disney cartoon and I didn't want to get up and pee in the middle of the night for weeks after watching I am Legend. Lol.

mafi39 Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 I agree with signs. My husband and I watched it at a drive in surrounded by cornfields. I nearly peed my pants! The exorcism of Emily rose gave me nightmares. I stopped watching scary stuff after that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonFaerie Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 The Exorcist. Without a doubt. The Amityville Horror freaked me out, too, but it doesn't bother me as much now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Excelsior! Academy Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 I no longer watch horror films. The Ring freaked me out. It is not really scary when you are watching it, however I remember looking at my tv and computer screens late at night and praying that they wouldn't turn on. As a child I watched a lot of horror films. Nightmare on Elm Street, polterguiest, and Exorcist were probably the scariest. Surprisingly Psyco and the Village didn't seem all that scary. Predictable maybe, but not scary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris in VA Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 I find movies with sudden shocks or things jumping out to be scary. I also don't like demonic stuff--the scariest part of the Exorcist for me was the sudden flashes of the demonic face that are almost subliminal. Deep voices are scary (so her voice was frightening, too) and that whole "crawl around backwards" stuff like in The Ring and that sort of movie are scary to me. I think the absolute scariest for me was Blair Witch, but not until the last bit. I went on a whim w/o telling my family I was going. The theater was fairly full--so parts were soliciting comments from the mostly-young adult audience, and it wasn't scary--til the end, when things take a turn. The theater got very quiet, and that horrible "impending doom" feeling and a feeling of being swept along...ooo.... Plus I went to the website when I got home. Not a good plan. I freaked myself out and couldn't get up to go to bed...lol. Good movie, though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigMamaBird Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 The movie that freaked me out the most was Se7en. It's pretty gory and brutal. I saw it in High School with a friend and we both cowered under her coat the whole time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slartibartfast Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 I probably found the scariest movies by watching foreign horror movies on netflix. :crying: I don't recommend it. None of the movies listed above scared me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I Am Legend really messed with my head. I do not like zombie type stuff as a general rule, but I thought I might it. I did actually like it but will not watch it again. :lol: I loved 6th Sense and it didn't bother me a bit, but I got dh good! About a week after we saw it, I opened every cabinet and drawer in the kitchen. I then went to bed with dh. I sent him down to get me some water a little later and he screamed when he turned the light on! ETA: The Ring - wooo, now that one was scary!

Slartibartfast Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 American movies that scared me are, The Ring The Changling (the one with George C Scott) The 1963 version of The Haunting. (plus Mrs Mungo screams every time she watches it so that makes it fun) The Woman in Black The Changling and The Haunting are movies my parents and siblings like to watch now and then together. I watched The Woman in Black with my parents and younger sister but we did not think we would ever want to watch it again. :lol: I don't like excessive gore in movies, or people getting tortured. I am not scared of that I just don't like looking at gross things. I do like suspenseful movies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twoxcell Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 I hate horror movies, especially ones that have evil children or the occult in them, and rarely watch them. My dh made me watch The Ring with him and it scared me a lot. I don't consider movies like Signs or the village to be horror. I love the Village it is one of my favorite movies. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excelsior! Academy Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Agree about Children of the Corn. When I watched it, we lived in the country next to overgrown vegetation. For months after watching that movie I was really scared to drive home late at night down our dirt road with little to no light next to tall grasses and crops!!!

Chris in VA Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 For those who liked The Ring, be sure to watch Scary Movie 3, if language and that sort of humor don't offend you. It's HILARIOUS. The one scene where the woman is combing her long hair? In SM3, it's a woman combing armpit hair. Not to ruin it for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiffnkids Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 The Mothman Prophecies really freaked me out. Also, agreeing with The Exorcist, Chidren of the Corn, Omen, The Ring, The Changeling, Poltergeist . . . Two others that I remember I thought were super creepy when I was a teen are Phantasm and Pumpkinhead. Oh, and The Bad Seed and The Godsend.

Joker Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 We just watched The Conjuring today and it's now at the top of my list. The best part was I don't remember a single curse word, there was no sex stuff, no gore, and minimal blood. It still seriously scared us. When I was younger, I watched all the slasher flicks and Nightmare on Elm Street scared me the most. I didn't sleep well for weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
