scary movies

[mavs>spurs]

what is the scariest movie you have personally seen? doesn't have to be a box office hit, just the one that freaked you out the most. movies don't really scare me but for some reason i'm drawn to the scary ones like looking at roadkill on the side of the road even though you don't really want to. one i just watched which actually sort of freaked me out was v/h/s..anyone else ever seen it? what's your favorite scary movie?

[Avante]

There is only one movie that lingered on for days, I couldn't get it out of my mine....The Exorcist.

[redzero]

Alien and The Thing.

[scanry]

As a kid, The Omen was scary.

The thing is once you hit 20, they aren't scary anymore.

[AussieFanKurt]

[rec] and [rec2] are pretty good horror films from Spain

I thought The Descent was good too.

I laughed throughout the Exorcist - it was scary back then I'm sure but it's just silly tbh.

For some reason The Sixth Sense scared me when I saw it as a youngin'

[benefactor]

Poltergeist. The Thing is a close second.

[AussieFanKurt]

Poltergeist. The Thing is a close second.

How come Poltergeist? That was similar to Exorcist in that I expected and heard so much about it being scary but was underwhelmed chronically tbh

[Edward]

The Exorcist was one of the funniest movies I've ever seen.

[cantthinkofanything]

In general, I can't think of many movies where the whole movie scared me. But there have definitely been certain scenes that have creeped me out.

One movie that I saw when I was a kid that freaked me out was Burnt Offerings. There were several scenes with this chauffeur that were really creepy. Actually a pretty decent movie all around with a little twist at the end.

another movie scene that made it hard to turn off the lights was the twins in the hallway from the Shining. Shit, I just watched it and it's still creepy as hell

[AussieFanKurt]

Kubrick - the master.

That is a creepy fucking scene

[Ryan Fitzpatrick]

This is going to sound cheesy as hell, but Salem's Lot scared the fuck out of me when I first saw it on TV (6-7 years old). From that point on, I never slept with the blinds open in my room ever again. By today's standards this is pure comedy, but as a kid you were scared shitless

[BUMP]

Evil Things

[Latarian Milton]

the curious case of benjamin button, might not be a typical scary movie but it really freaked me out for some odd reason tbh. dude was born a senile dotard who was seemingly about to die and he keeps getting younger as his age increases. thought he was gonna have an eternal life but in the end he came back being an infant and died, seems the eternal life is still a impossibility which depresses me alot tbh :cry

but how could an adult shrivel so much and end up dead in a baby's figure?

[CubanSucks]

The Thing (80s version) and the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre. The Thing is my favorite horror movie but the OG Texas Chainsaw Massacre was scarier imo

[Leetonidas]

Movies aren't scary anymore, they try way too hard to be suspenseful or extremely gory or they're just a rehash of some bullshit like Paranormal Activity where they try and make it seem real. The last movie I saw that I thought was scaryish was 1408, and that wasn't even gory at all. Gore =/= scary imo

[Leetonidas]

^og texas chainsaw was crazy, I saw that when I was a kid and it disturbing as hell. those 80s movies all seemed scarier though because i was a kid :lol

[mingus]

Jaws.

Saw it on t.v. when I was five or so, and I had a fear of sharks and aversion to the ocean until I about 16 because of it.

[Reck]

The first few Jason movies.

Horror movies aren't really my thing.

I have seen cheesy movies that I liked. Wishmaster, leprechaum, and Hellraiser.

I'm not so sure why they thought the Leprechaum would be scary at all. That movie is just silly.

I wanted to shoot the director in the face after seeing 1408. That movie fucking blew

Love Deliverance but there's no way I'd even consider that a horror movie

The thought of going on a camping trip and getting raped by hillbillies scares me 100x more than zombies, ghosts, or vampires.

It's only scary if you don't have Burt Motherfucking Reynolds with a bow & arrow

[cantthinkofanything]

The thought of me going to jail for a crime I didn't commit and getting ass raped by big black prisoners scares me more than the camping trip scenario.

[SA210]

Pet Semetary, that crippled bitch Zelda was freaky.

lipY6-BlohY

The original Nightmare on Elm Street, Part 1 and 2 were scary, f all the rest of them though.

Grady's transformation to Freddy at 2:05 mark was awesome lol

[CuckingFunt]

The Shining. By far. One of the few movies I can think of that scares me now every bit as much as it did the first time I saw it. To the point I typically refer to it as my favorite movie that I can't watch.

Most horror movies don't really scare me. Not in any lasting way. I startle easily, so even a shitty horror movie will make me jump every time it wants to. And occasionally I'll see something that has enough to inspire a nightmare or two. But even in those cases, the genre seldom succeeds in really getting under my skin. And when it's a film that goes hard towards the gore or torture porn side of the spectrum, I tend to just get bored. Or angry/annoyed. But still not scared.

I'm much more bothered by atmosphere. Or by that pervasive feeling that something is just off. For that reason, Lynch's movies always share the schiesse out of me even when they're not strictly horror. He's a master at unsettling. But in general, I will always be more genuinely scared by a static shot that lasts just a little too long or a character smiling just a little too widely and at the wrong moment than I will be by someone getting their head lopped off.

One of the single scariest things I can think of is from a TV show, rather than a movie, and I know it exists on youtube but I'm not going to embed a clip because I literally can't watch it without losing my shit. But early in the second season of Twin Peaks, there's a fairly insipid scene of James, Maddie, and Donna singing an awkward song followed by a bit of dialog and then a shot of an empty room. All of a sudden, Bob appears in profile at the far end of the room (might even technically be in a different room, like a dining room adjacent to the living room in which the camera/viewer is placed), turns toward the camera, starts walking forward, and never stops. Not until he's climbed over the back of the couch into the viewer's space and his face fills the whole screen. He moves slowly, so it's not as if you're startled by sudden movement. It just is relentless. I've watched Twin Peaks several times, and I've never made it through that scene without physically backing up from the TV.

Also, Session 9 was pretty spooky at times. Something about the architecture of those Kirkbride buildings and what happened in those places...

any of yall actually watch v/h/s out of curiosity yet? that movie was just so bizarre it left me feeling filthy as hell after watching it..first movie that's ever bothered me before. not really scared, just disturbed. some random freaky shit in that movie. the trailer doesn't even do that shit any justice.

[Reck]

I almost downloaded that.

I went to check what the folks at IMDB had to say about the movie and the major consesus of the movie is that you should stay away from it.

[AussieFanKurt]

Can anyone explain why the Exorcist is scary?

I realise it may have been back in the late 70s but now it is just a joke I thought, was not scared for a moment

Not sure what you mean, it got ok reviews and it's like 80% on rotten tomatoes.

I guess its how the app shows you the reviews then.

I have the iPhone app for imdb and all I saw was 1-star ratings all over and how the movie is just terrible and despicable.

[AussieFanKurt]

Its got 6.1/10 on imdb

No doubt. I'm not a fan of scary movies, I can watch them but I'm not one who enjoys the rush of getting scared. Never really liked the horror genre but have seen a good amount. A lot are simply cheesey and fucking retarded.

I don't find the really gory movies that focus on getting those who are squeamish very scary at all.

[timtonymanu]

Going by movies that actually scared me at first viewing:

The Exorcist is the only movie I still can't watch on my own, but I admit it has silly moments in the movie.

Halloween (the original version)

Misery scared the shit out of me because of Kathy Bates.

I still like the other classics like The Shining, Nightmare on Elm Street, Friday the 13th, Pet Sematary, etc. They just didn't scare me that much.

[benefactor]

I was a kid and I lived in an old creaky house that made noise at night...and I was scared of the dark...and I had a window with a huge pecan tree that cast a shadow into my room. Pretty easy choice for me.

I don't hate on anyone for their preference because fear is an intensely personal thing. People have different fears and phobias and because of that each person will be affected by different movies in different ways.

:lol yeah I probably see why now, I woulda been scared too in that situation.

I shouldn't have watched it during the day.

Yeah I grew up with horror movies like Nightmare on Elm Street, Friday the 13th, etc. I still prefer watching old school horror than newer movies. Although I actually enjoyed the Saw, Hostel movies.....

[timtonymanu]

Trilogy of Terror actually scared me too but just because of the end of the third story. Karen Black can be so creepy looking. Someone mentioned Burnt Offerings in this thread. She was in that too and was creepy in that one.

[benefactor]

I was always freaked out by the story in The Twilight Zone movie where the guy sees the creature on the plane wing. Even today I don't think I'd want to sit on the wing of plane at night.

[DPG21920]

Dude, I love horror movies. Pretty much watch one every night on Netflix streaming before I go to bed (my girlfriend gets kind of pissed, but I let her choose her movies too :lol). I agree with CF and some others - while I still enjoy slasher films, the one's that are unsettling (wouldn't say I ever get scared, but things make me think) are the ones that are more about the atmosphere.

I in particular enjoy the realistic movies about real people (not "real people", but real in the sense that it isn't far fetched) like Silence of the Lambs. I really do enjoy supernatural movies (Blair Witch - things like that), but I guess I would say some of the most unsettling movies are ones like 28 days later - waking up and being the only person there type things I think make me think the most.

The one thing I hate though (meaning I think it's annoying) is the "creepy kid" genre. I would just drop kick the first creepy ass kid that ain't acting right.

But in general, love horror films even if they kind of suck.

[AussieFanKurt]

Check some foreign horror films out, they are good too

[DPG21920]

how did you see vhs already?

[HI-FI]

to this day, Nightmare on Elm Street (1984) unsettles the shit out of me. I think it's the combination of the gore, the atmosphere, that creepy fucking music. Some of the imagery in that movie bothers me, the way it mixed reality with a dreamlike trance.

perhaps it's because when i was a little kid, some shithead down the street showed me that opening scene where Tina gets gutted. i ended up watching it many times afterwards to overcome that initial fear, but it always scared me more than other movies. i'm surprised more people weren't really unsettled by it. Another aspect is when I was a kid, i used to walk around the neighborhood by myself, and in the movie he waits in alleys, around streets. The fact he is a child rapist/murderer back to kill kids is pretty sick, even by today's standards.

even when I take late night jogs, I still occasionally think about that nig.

Exorcist is number 2, but spiritual stuff like that bothers me.

Halloween, The Thing, Shining are scary but such well made films, I watch them a lot just to appreciate the filmmakers at their peak.

and props to who posted the Salem Lot clip of that kid's friend, that shit scared me back in the day.

I don't even download them I just stream them, I don't think that's illegal. Used to be that it was illegal to share but not download, not sure if that's still the case. If they ever tried to fuck with me over it I'd just tell them to fuck off and deny it lol. Must have been my dog getting on the computer tbh.

I think streaming (excluding Netflix or shit you pay for) is probably illegal... it's still viewing something you are supposed to pay for, even if it's not a saved copy of the material.

From the creepy/disturbing side of scary:

Angst -1983
http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_AjKQyw1eki0/Rr4Jl_ZOzXI/AAAAAAAAAlY/gpvsymdA9jw/s320/angst.jpg
Austrian film with subtitles.

A man is released from prison after serving four years for murdering an elderly woman. He quickly begins to feel the compulsion to kill again...

Gerald Kargl's "Angst" is one of the most depressing and disturbing serial killer movies ever made. It's loosely based on an actual crime case-in 1980 Werner Kniesek from Salzburg horrendously murdered three people. Later he told the judge "I just love it when women shiver in deadly fear because of me. It is like an addiction,which will never stop." "Angst" is often compared to John McNaughton's "Henry:Portrait of a Serial Killer", but it's even more unsettling and hopeless.

[Reck]

That's another thing about horror movies.

They take too much liberty with the serial killer angle. They can make them overly disturbing. Sort of hard to watch tbh.
