In honor of Halloween, Favorite/Scariest horror movies?

[squee189]

Jesus F***in' Christ! My house is scary at 2:30 AM (east coast) Anyway, what's the one horror movie that just scared the s*** out of you?
As for me have to go with a Japanese movie called Kairo. It's pretty much no jump scares or gore. It's just plain disturbing.

The "Final Destination" series pretty much has me being very careful where I put my cold drinks for days after I see it.

I will watch the "Gingersnaps" trilogy when I'm in the mood for goopy horror.

But if I want to be freaked out when the house is dark and everyone's asleep, I'll play Silent Hill games.

The ring.

Not cause it was "scary" just cause black and white shit scares me, and because it was unnerving I guess.

Halloween/saw/nightmare/jayson/ Movies like that don't scare me.

Salem's Lot - 1979 TV Miniseries.

I was 11 or 12 at the time when I watched it. I shouldn't have done it. I'd swear I had vamps tapping at my bedroom window. Yeah, it could have been a tree, but I was on the second story, and there were no trees around me.

Pretty much freaked me out.

Not a huge fan of the horror genre though. Seen one, seen them all, but I do like movies that mess with your mind - something with some intelligence behind it rather than a straight slasher flick. The Ring was good, enjoyed Skeleton Key, stuff like that.

not many movies scare me, however, scary books get me everytime! It started young with Goosebumps ;)

dude i feel you on that. the headboard of my bed growing up sat right under a window. after watching that movie i made my mom move it across the room. i would never leave my window cracked in the summer ever again.

freaky ass floating vampires.

In The Mouth of Madness

-maybe not as scary today, but definitely disturbing.

DO YOU READ SUTTER KAIN?!?!?!

Movies don't really scare me, so I'll default to my scariest game Clive Barkers:Undying

Well I had recently watched the 1977 version of The Hills Have Eyes and let me tell you. I almost shit my pants.

Shakespeare In Love on both of those.

The Shining. No movie has come close to scare me like it did the first time I saw it. It's not scary in that regular "jump out and say boo"-kind of way and it doesnt have pale asian kids in it.

[thetechguru]

when it comes to scary movies, i'm with DannyT. i prefer the japanese/slow burning movies. cause instead of a big "boo" moment like freddy jumping out, you get things like wierd black and white images, and wierd girls slowly crawling on you. and it's that slow build up of fear, that gets me everytime, and by the end i've built up so much fear that my chest starts hurting... i hate that, yet that's why i go and see them, time and time again.

[bravestarr]

fav: OG Texas Chainsaw

the only movie to really scare me when i was young was the Labyrinth. the part with those things that can exchange their heads then they try to switch heads with the girl. i had some pretty horrific nightmares about them.

[madripper1]

FEAST and exit to Eden wait it wasn't a horror film but Rosey Odonnel in a corset with a whip is terrifying.

[squee189]

I could appreciate the little girl with hair over her eyes, walking in a weird way if maybe it wasn't so overused these days. It was scary once, but not any more. And if you ever saw Pulse, which came out a little while ago, that movie was the American version of Kairo. The worst thing about Kairo is the scary parts revolve around the internet and pop-up ads. I think that's when you get genuinely scared by a movie, when the subject matter is close to home.

Gay by Dawn

Shakespeare in Love, friend. The first movie to ever truly scare me. I watched it at 2 in the morning in an empty house and I didn't sleep for the next 72 hours. Also, the film does things visually that are rarely done anymore in horror, such as incredibly long and uncomfortable shots on one character talking. Spook-tacular.

I have yet to watch it because of comments like this.

Hell yeah! RL Stine up in the hizzouse!!!!! I read like 60 of those damned books before I realized I was too old for them. THANK YOU FOR REMINDING ME! We should get a goosebumps thread.


Anyways, usually horror movies don't scare as much as other movies that just have a small thing that personally disturbs me. Like the Last Temptation of Christ. I'm not a religious person, but that really creeped me out seeing lucifer in the desert. If there were a devil, you'd be scared as hell to meet him.

There are others, I just forget. CUCKOO CLOCK OF DOOM, MOTERH****ERS!

It's cool, just watch it during the daytime with a group of people who are unlikely to chop you to ribbons with an axe. Although, I always have trouble with that last part...

I paid 6 bucks for that. It's not really worth it, except having every person that sees it on the shelf saying, "Gay By Dawn? WTF is that?" and then making them watch it.

Jaws – I still fear the deep end.
Poltergeist – That damn CLOWN!
The Hitcher – Since his role in the movie, I practically piss my pants every time I see Rutger Hauer.

[slowmtnsilhouette]

movies dont scare me so much...

books do.

[vegasgeek]

Don't really have one...they all just make me giggle...yeah thats right....giggle!

-That f***ing clown, I hate that clown. Scarier than the clown is probably the guy tearing his face off after he finds the pizza is filled with maggots.
-The best part in the Hitcher is the finger in the french fries.That wasn't a jump scare, just disgusting.

[fino35]

I was desensatized as a child so not too many movies scare me anymore, the first one being Texas Chainsaw Massacre, then night/dawn/day of the dead, lots of slasher and Giallo movies. The last movie to really creep me out was FEED.

The original Halloween (not any of the sequels). To this day, the score alone freaks me out. Also, the original Halloween is different from the sequels because it's technically not a monster flick like (Nightmare on Elm Street or Friday the 13th), Michael Meyers is a little boy who murders his sister. Dude, that's effing crazy. He's a sociopath.

F*** yeah, The final scene in the house. Imagine how much that would suck. And the first half hour of the original When a Stranger Calls. Actually when Snakes on a Plane was coming out, the website had a promo where you could assemble a message that Samuel L. Jackson would say when you gave the website your phone number. Of course it was pre-recorded, but we have caller I.D. and it said from my house when my brother used it on me. My initial instict was Oh Sh**, then I picked it up and it was Samuel Jackson. Tha almost made me piss myself.

Totally. That score is the most underplayed horror movie score. Everyone just jumps to rip off The Omen or something like that. Love the simplicity.

[thedunbar]

i dont really watch scary movies, but aparently im the only one that found the first grudge scary, i still cant sleep at night

[llyr]

Its not very scary but I love The Shining.
