Scariest Movie Ever?
So what do you consider to be scariest movie ever?
I work from home and often have the TV on in the background (so it sounds busy). As it would happen, the last couple of days have been "scary" movie marathons, particularly of Friday the 13th, Nightmare on Elm Street and Hallowe'en. All of these are rather campy, cheesy horror movies. Scariest movie for me has always been The Exorcist (spinning head and all). Goriest movie (from those I've seen) has been the Saw series. I make a distinction between gory and scary since one grosses me out while the other keeps me up for days! So what's your scary/gory movie fav? |
I hate the Saw movies because of all the gore. Really disturbing!
Scariest movie? I forget the name..it was about a true story..the man had developed a cult in Canada and tortured the women, even cutting off limbs... |
Gore doesn't scare me, just kinda grosses me out or bores me.
The only movie that's ever really scared the crap out of me is The Ring. I left the tv off for days after that one. |
I don't like gore for gore's sake. Boring and cheesy.
My scariest movies: Jaws Alien Invasion of the Body Snatchers (original form) Frankenstein (the original, believe it or not) In fact, most of the Universal "monster" movies |

I think "The Exorcist" is pretty damn scary but I have to say too that the first "Paranormal Activity" movie had me waking up for several nights to make sure someone wasn't creepily standing over me as I slept!
|
My favorite scary movies are:
The Exorcist Alien Ring The Thing (from another world) b/w Psycho (original) |
War of the worlds,the original by Orson Wells,not the other ones made in its likeness...just not the same.

At the time, I lived in an old three story walk-up in San Francisco. One of my roommates who'd lived there awhile said him and people who'd lived there before thought they ghosts at the top of the stairs (of course, they also stayed up late and did lots of drugs, so who knows). When I came home from seeing The Ring, all the lights in the house were turned off, the light switch at the bottom of the stairs wasn't working, and I had walk up three flights of old supposedly haunted stairs in the dark by myself. NO THANKS. I don't think that helped my Ring experience. |
i don't scare easily
but the ring (american version), ju-on and a tale of two sisters left me feeling a little uneasy scariest - i have to give it to the exorcist - i don't want to be anywhere near a weegee ( i don't even want to spell the word) board e.v.e.r. and exorcist 3 - that creepy old lady - yikes |
The Stepfather, because the scariest person is someone you thought was safe, in your own home.

EEK! The Exorcist is on right now!!! I am SO going to watch it!
And I'm making Jack watch it in the process, which is NOT making her happy! |
*cry*
HALLOWEEN :scarytv: |
The Exorcist. Without question. I can't watch any movies that include exorcisms. tantalizing thinks I'm a wimp!
Linus, I agree with you when it comes to gore, too - Saw series! |
These Hills Have Eyes.
The first one. I've watched the second and third one and managed to make it all the way through both. Can not watch first one all the way through. Just can't do it. Scared Shitless Of First One, Brute. |
Oh these scary movies ya'll are listing are eekssssssssssssssss!!!!
I would have to say the Exorcist was the scariest of all time, in my book. But, my first scary movie was Halloween I. Me and my Bff went together and we were honestly, in the floor, in front of our chairs peeping over the shoulders of the people in front of us. We were maybe 16? Somewhere in there. Anyway, it made a lasting impression on me. Scary is fun. Gore movies however, gross. Won't watch them. Saw movies ...forget it. Remember the music??? And the very young Jamie Lee Curtis? |
The original B&W Night of the Living Dead still scares me.
I can watch Dawn of the Dead and other Zombie movies in color but they do not scare me like the orginal does. |
scariest Movie
could not watch the exorcist
the hills have eyes The Rite Silence of the lambs |
I love horror flicks. I never thought anyone could make a movie that would scare me to death until I rented 'The Unholy'. That movie was spiritually disturbing. I felt as if I was inviting something dark into my home. I couldn't finish it. Gives me chills just thinking about it.:nailbitin::scared::runforhills:

She was really serious about it that we need to be careful. I think i believe that. |
Maybe Open Water, too. Terrifying, but also, a love story, IMO. Sadness and terror, at once.

I believe that is possible. That energy can be invited in. Especially with an ouiji board. I will never ever EVER touch one of those. Set myself on fire first. Seriously. Never, Brute. |
The Omen (1976)
The Omen (1976) ranks high on my list ('specially the soundtrack).
|
I don't know if it's the scariest movie ever for me, since different movies have affected me stronger at different points in my life, but this is one fucked up movie. I didn't go near storm drains or even sinks without great hesitation for a loooong time after this came out.
Oh, and Jaws. Didn't go near water of any kind, even pools, for a long time too. |
psycho (1960)
deliverance (1972) the exorcist (1973) the shining (1980) orphan (2009) |

Regarding IT...the book was FAR scarier... I remember looking over the top of the book as I was reading....praying Pennywise wasn't at the foot of my bed....shiver.....
As far as movies go...for myself it's the original Friday the 13th. I still have some residual fears from it. My dad was not really thinking and let me watch it 2 weeks before I went to camp for the first time..... Let's just say....as much as I LOVE the water....I did NOT participate in the water stuff..... :| |

:blink: Cinnamon, most books are better by far, whether scary or not. I remember reading The Tommyknockers and being so involved in it that I missed a couple of meals and didn't even know it. They made a tv show from it, but I couldn't watch more than a few minutes because they just weren't able to recreate the world that Stephen King did. It just wasn't good enough. |
Audrey Rose.... Scared the bejeezus out of me, yet I would watch it every time it came on.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0075704/ And the original "Don't be afraid of the dark" http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0069992/ |

Oh yeah, Silence of the Lambs!!! It came out so long ago and yet still today, when I see a big man with a little fluffy dog, I keep walking and don't slow down to pet it, as much as I love to stop and pet other types of dogs and talk to their owners. Silly of me, but can't help it. |
Definitely, "The Exorcist" scared the raised-Roman-Catholic-hell out of me. I slept with the light on for a month. "The Entity," made in the 80's did the same. I won't watch scary movies anymore. Life is scary enough.
|
For me it is Prince of Darkness. Holy hen shit, that was the first time I saw screen static used as a device for scary...and it was. :(
|
The Shining.
Just the name gives me chills. |
...still can't watch the Texas Chainsaw or Bambi.
|
The movie IT scared the shyt out of me for many days. I had nightmares. It's kind of comforting to see others feel the same lol.
The Ring was another one that really got me. I don't know if anyone has seen the movie the Descent but it was quite frightening. I don't like caves to begin with and now I'll probably never go into another! One more is Insidious. I was surprised by this one. |
Evil Dead
Event Horizon. For some reason I just don't like old ladies crawling on the ceiling, I almost shit my tights! |
The Portrait Of Dorian Grey. EEK! That sickly sweet little wimpy dude with the phoney smile scared me the most. At least with most of the other monsters and zombies I saw the red flags first.

Speaking of old ladies crawling on the ceiling. How about Legion? Not a super scary movie, but the scene with the old lady on the ceiling is classic!! |
"Jeepers Creepers." I was semi-ok with it, until the last scene. This movie scares me so bad that I could not even watch the trailer I uploaded (therefore I am not even sure that it IS the right trailer-lol).
I am really a scaredy cat. Cannot wait movies like this alone, especially at night. Ironically, some scary movies are "familiar" to me though and I can actually sleep well to them. Thirteen Ghosts, Nightmare on Elm Street (the original) are a few that come to mind. :sparklyheart: |
The Shining always makes me think of him saying, "Heeere's Johnny!" LOL!
