    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?

    As a kid, The Omen was scary.

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

    [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'

    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

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

    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. , I just watched it and it's still creepy as

    This is going to sound cheesy as , but Salem's Lot scared the 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 less

    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 do 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

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

    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

    Movies aren't scary anymore, they try way too hard to be suspenseful or extremely gory or they're just a rehash of some bull 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

    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.

    The first few Jason movies.

    Horror movies aren't really my thing.

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

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

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

    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.

    Pet Semetary, that crippled Zelda was freaky.



    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


    An American Werewolf in London had some great scenes, I hate movies today with the cartoonish CGI werewolves






    Poltergeist was awesome as well
