What's your scariest movie?

  • Paranormal Activity

    This was the first scary movie I saw. It scared the crap outta me since I believe in those type of things...I am a baby when it comes to anything scary. You can laugh all you want!

    I will NEVER see it again or the other ones because that movie made me scared to sleep for like a month. I think anything dealing with stuff that I believe can happen in real life freaks me out.

    The Strangers was a good creepy movie but since I don't live in the middle of the country side...I could sleep :smile:

    The Ring freaked me out the first time I watched it. It didn't help, that as soon as the movie was done my phone started to ring. I refused to answer it and my friends made fun of me for days. :noway:

    Texas Chainsaw massacre - that one freaks me out everytime I watch it.

    The hills have eyes - My daughter and I watched that the night before a road trip. She now says that I am not allowed to pick out movies before a road trip.
    I also always put in the Blair witch project the night before camping trips. I love freaking out my daughter.

    I :heart: you!

    That movie really disturbed me too. I felt depressed after also and couldn't keep the images out of my mind. I actually turned it off when I saw what the guy was going to do to the prostitute. Saw the end another time.

    That is a truly disturbing movie.

    It's a toss up between Jaws and Hostel.

    I'm still afraid to swim in the ocean!

    Watch the 2nd and 3rd PA's... it'll ruin whatever you found scary about the 1st one. :tongue:

    The Strangers - anything with the possibility of being reality is sick. I hate answering my front door because of this movie.
    The Exorcist
    Children of the Corn
  • Not scary really but gross ... the hills have eyes. Ick. Too much mutant rape for my taste.

    The human centipede was sooooo wrong. I will never forgive the co worker who lent it to me. He's getting the sequel for christmas muwhaha.

    The Hills Have Eyes for me too but the original 1977 version. I was sad to see the scene I remember most wasn't in the remake. It is where the leader of the hill people was sitting around the fire with the dad (in the fire) from the camper.

    Human Centipede just doesn't look like anything I'd be interested in watching. Can you say ick?

    As a child, Phantasm!! This movie scared the bejeevus outta me!! :sad:
    Though, Halloween and Jaws are high up on that list too. To this day I'm nervous when I go in the water (you should've seen my reaction when a manatee grazed up against me) Oh and The Shining!!
    Yeah, I saw a lot of scary movies as a small child (Alien is on that list too). Apparently my parents couldn't afford a babysitter. :grumble:

    (And as an adult, The Ring! I went over to my boyfriends house afterwards as I didn't want to be alone!) :laugh:

    Evil Dead - my dad bought it on VHS and we put it on in the afternoon. When the part of the mother under basement comes flying out we all screamed and ran outside to the backyard and left the door open. nobody wanted to go back in the house to turn it off!

    the exorcist - always scares me

    paranormal activity 1 - I couldnt sleep for 3 straight nights just wondering if "something" was going to grab my feet and drag me off the bed!

    The Changeling - the older one, with George C. Scott. It's my favorite.

    The Ring freaked me out, and then after watching it, I took the dog out and there was a fly crawling on the patio door. It was chilly out, so it looked completely out of place, and it freaked me out even more.

    Pet Sematary

    I was the first horror movie I watched. I was in 8th grade. My BFF and I watched it in her basement. I still can't watch it to this day.

    Watched that movie one night a long long time ago, and the next day at college, someone brought their kid to the student lounge and that kid looked IDENTICAL to Gage. He kept saying he wanted to play with mommy...kinda freaked me out.

    When I was a kid, the movie Prophecy (1979 version) scared me to death...but so did Wizard of Oz when the witch was on. My mom used to say we would hide behind the couch whenever the witch showed up.

    I was terrified to take a BATH for weeks after watching it! Of course my mom let me watch it when I was like 8 so... you know, no accounting for psychological trauma. This is probably why I didn't learn to swim until I was 18. :laugh:

    hubby loves clockwork orange too. his is the shining. i saw it as an adult. i didnt get it. the twins are creepy but nothing else. he saw it at 7, so that i could see. his is the blood out of the walls.

    The Shining, the movie, wasn't really scary compared to the book. When I read the book, it took me a month before I would get on an elevator and I worked on the 12th floor! Then it took another month before I could ride the elevator alone! I was like hanging around the lobby waiting for someone else to get on. They must have thought I was a pervert.

    Hush, Hush, Sweet Charlotte with Bette Davis. I saw maybe ten minutes of it, had to turn it off, and still get chills from the mention of it.

    My son, who can't stomach grossness, loved Hostel, and I thought it was the most violent movie I'd ever seen. I asked him why he could watch that and not Saw. He said "One word. Boobies." Ugh. :laugh:

    Well, that and once you've seen one Saw movie, you've seen them all.

    I never really watched too many scary movies growing up... my parents wouldn't allow it... but I remember one time though, we had watched He-man the movie (yes, there is one of those) and I had nightmares afterwards... I don't know if it's a scary movie or what but I did... Now though, I cannot watch the Final Destination movies or any conspiracy theory movies because they freak the hell out of me.

    Very few horror movies creep me out but one will always stick out in my head and maybe it's just because it was completely gross. The Human Centipede. I don't know how they could make a sequel but I won't be putting that on my playlist. I didn't eat for two days after. Now that's a good diet motivator.

    Oh lord! That is one I will NEVER watch just by the name alone... I hate centipedes anyway... they give me the creeps.

    So someone please tell me what paranormal activity is about. Do any kids or babies die because then I refuse to watch it! My hubby is going away on a caribou hunt in a week and I always want something good to watch after the kids go to bed. Good or bad idea to watch that movie?

    Yeah, but I still like to watch 'em. :smile: I think VI is the only one I haven't seen.

    Blair Witch Project made me giggle (see avatar) so pointless! Paranormal activity -- *yawn* boring. Haven't seen The Strangers..maybe will have to check that out.

    By all means, watch the first one. It's worth it. The 2nd and 3rd? Not so much.

    bump!

    i still haven't seen a scary movie since The Ring that REALLY REALLY scared me. Paranormal Activity was good. I jumped a few times, but I wasn't creeped out like I was with The Ring. The past 10 years of scary movies have been a major let-down. :(

    if you want to watch something kind of disturbing and interesting, Rob Zombie's Halloween (2007) is awesome!! LOVED IT! not really scary though but explores the psychology of Michael Myers. :)

    I'm a huge vadge, so my scariest movie seen was Jeepers creepers 2. Couldn't even make it halfway at the halloween party, I bolted out the door. That was years ago, and I STILL cant stand seeing tree branch shadows under street lamps. /chills

    Funny enough, I've seen the Ring 1 and 2, bless the child, the exorcist and missed call, & parts of Carrie and they barely phased me. /shrug

    I just bought Jeepers Creepers 1 and 2! I liked the first one better, though. Another good one is Joy Ride (also liked the first one better).

    When I was little Freddy Kreuger scared the hell out of me!!! I screamed and cried everytime I saw him. Then after I got older I realized how crazy it was to be scared of him. But now my scariest movie of all time is the original black and white version of Night of the Living Dead. Oh man to this day every time I watch it I get scared.
