    I agree, The Strangers is really creepy.

    I am such a baby when it comes to scary movies that my list would be endless! I do admit that Paranormal Activity scared the pee out of me!

    House on Haunted Hill (the remake) really creeped me out when you could only see the ghosts through the goggles...you looked in the room, they aren't there, then look thru the goggles and they are all standing there looking at you....ugh. and the way those ghosts shook their heads really fast...it was just shiver-inducing.

    The Shining....now THAT is a fantastic scary movie. I love Stephen King, and his books are often turned into sub-par movies, but they really did that one correctly. Twins still scare me...come play with us Danny......

    Yes! House on the Haunted Hill......my hubby used to do that, shake his head really fast just to freak me out, hate that!
    and of course The Shining is one of the best movies ever, I collect Stephen King books, and that is one of the best movie adaptations of all his books....still cannot look at Jack Nicholson without thinking, "Here's Johnny"!

    The Entity is one of the scariest movies I've ever seen. The subject matter is just too brutal. Just watched it again last weekend. Creeps the s*** out of me!

    As stupid as I thought Paranormal Activity was, it really freaked me out. I wouldn't so much as stick my foot out of the covers for weeks.

    When I was a kid I snuck into the living room while my parents watched Poltergeist. Scarred me for life. I still think it is pretty scary.

    Any musical from the early 80's makes me cringe and run in terror when i hear its theme music

    See, but that is 2000's musicals...they are much much better than Annie or Fame or Sound of Music.

    I guess you are right, and Sweeny Todd is quite bloody, so it could pass for a good scary movie!

    The original Halloween 2 scared the crap outta me! I've been afraid of hospitals ever since! LOL and forget babysitting on Halloween night, I can hear the Halloween theme music already! Can't wait to see My Soul to Take and Case 39!

    I can get claustrophobic at times, so that movie really got to me. When she got stuck, I pictured myself there and someone bringing a gallon sized bucket of Crisco to get me out. :laugh:

    I LOVE classic horror films but do have some favorite more current ones:
    The Shining
    Hause on Haunted Hill
    The Hills have Eyes
    Psycho
    Scream 1 and 3 being my fave

    I also love the B grade Horror flicks! Nothing better than watching a cheesy scarey movie!

    The Strangers was very disturbing to me and nearly made me sick at my stomach. I don't like those kind of movies now that I have kids. I get really scared from possesion movies too. Very freaky , the thought of something taking you over. I love old horror movies, zombie movies and Dracula and a lot of the old goofy horror movies like the Blob, Attack of the Killer Tomatoes and such. The Amityville Horror freaks me out. My husband knows where that house is, but I have NO desire to even see it!!!!!!!!

    For those who can tolerate Asian horror, "Noroi" is a must see done ala Blair Witch / Paranormal Activity style, this movie scared the crap out of me. Lovely Bones was also very disturbing.

    I LOVE horror movies and have to admit some of my all time favs are the old black and white B-rated flicks! then again, I just watched the Pit and the Pendelum the other night and it scared the daylights outta me!!!

    I just don't think they make scary movies anymore. either that of because of me being a paranormal investigator I just don't scare anymore. I think I am the only person on here so far who thought paranormal activity was one of the dumbest movies ever made. haunting in conecticut was pretty good only because it is based on a true story. the exorcism of emily rose was decent and I can't wait for the last exorcism ot come out on dvd. (haven't seen it yet)
    I guess for me watching something scary would have to be ....... the news. lol
    But even though they aren't scary I still love horror movies. so much better then chick flicks.

    I think you got house on haunted hill mixed up with thirteen ghosts. I have both the old and new versions of both movies though. have to admit I loved the old ones so much more. not scary just more entertaining because they were not all about the blood and gore and was more about the story.

    I don't think I did, althoug the 13 Ghosts do have the same head-shake creepy thing. The one I'm thinking of is set in an old mental hospital, that can be locked up tight as if it's shielding from a nuclear blast. A long time ago, it was in lockdown mode and a fire burned up everyone inside. The kooky millionaire offers a bunch of people that if they stay the whole night they get a wad of cash. One by one, the people die off. The scene I remember takes place down in a basement-like setting, and the character glances into the room, sees nothing, then lifts up the goggles and sees a doctor and nurses performing some kind of horrible operation on a victim. The ghosts turn and look at our character and when she (I think it was a female character) lowers the goggles, you can't see the ghosts again. Am I mixing up movies? It's possible, but I think I have it right....

    well, if were going to include "funny" scary movies, you have to inlcude:

    American Werewolf in London
    American Werewolf in Paris
    Evil Dead trilogy (especially Army of Darkness)
    House III (with William Katt, a baby pterodactl, a catterpillar dog, and just a lot of weird stuff)
    Evolution
    all the Scream movies (sorry, but to me these are just funny, not scary at all!)

    To me, the Final Destination movies are hilarious too! Especially the most recent one, set at a racetrack. SOOOO funny. Everyone in the theater was cracking up, so it's not just me LOL

    I am looking for the ULTIMATE scary movie! I used to never watched scary movies until I met my boyfriend. Now I can stomach anything. Stuff like Saw or Hostile are more gory suspense; but not enough to scare me. The older movies tend to have more scare appeal.
    Any suggestions? Anything paranormal.

    I agree. Ghost Hunter freaks me out more than Paranormal Activity. I think its pretty cool you have conducted paranormal investigations. My old roommate did that on his spare time. I have also seen some paranormal activity myself!

    Yep, you have that one right, and I can see the scene you are speaking of vividly.... creepy......
