Till this day not matter how old i get michael myers will forever freak me out. I have dreams about him chasing me and wake up truely terrified lol. Recent horror movies that have scared me are inside and the strangers. I also agree about emily rose that one had certain scenes that got a jump out of me
I thought The Changeling was freaky.My iimagination has a tendency to run wild when I watch a good Ghost flick.
The only movie that actually scared me was The Sixth Sense.
BWP and What Lies Beneath are the only movies I've ever seen where I couldn't sleep afterward.
And yeah, if there's any exceptional merit to be attributed to Jaws, it would be that it's one of few movies from almost forty years ago that can still truly scare the shit out of its audiences - or at least change the way they look at the ocean for the rest of their lives.
The Return of the Living dead was the only movie that scared me and left me scared months later. I could not drive past a graveyard at night as a kid without closing my eyes. It had to be the fact that there was nothing anyone could do you kill them.
To me, the scariest movie that I've seen (hands over eyes) is Dead Silence; but then Im an autonomatonophobic. I cried. Straight-up cried. I was inconsolable. It took 30 minutes to get past the intro credits.
Maybe I should reconsider and say that the short film "The Dummy" is the scariest of all time...because that's what triggered the fear.
i kinda thought the descent was scary
I tend to be scared more by what I don't see rather than what I do.....so for me
The Blair Witch Project (love ya kool)
The Ring
Session 9 (one of the most cleverly crafted horror films in history)
Wait Until Dark
BUT, in my opinion the scariest movie of all time just due to its unrelenting violence and over the top psycho camera-work is The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
Blair Witch Project has been one of the only movies to ever really scare me. I must have been 16, overly tired, watching it at 2 in the morning. I damn near shat bricks.
Its kinda a tough question isn't it? Hmmm...
Well, Jaws made me think twice about going into the ocean for years. Even now, and its been close to 25 years since I first saw the movie. The Ghoulies - had a hard time taking a dump after seeing a little green bastard climb out of the crapper. (insert your laughter here)
Pacific Heights really scared me. I read up on the movie, then read up on the local tenant/landlord laws and found that this could actually happen. :oogle: Then I watched the movie and was completely freaked about it.
Blair Witch. Holy hell. I saw this when it had a limited release to small independent film houses and it was played off as an actual documentary. Way too many questions were still surrounding the picture and it injected a bit of doubt into your mind if it was real or not. Part of me wanted to buy into the hype to increase the fear factor. I didn't know that by doing so it would increase the freak out factor by a power of 40 and I have yet to camp since.
There are tons of moments in movies that got me, but very few entire experiences that warrant being mentioned.
Oh, new to the boards and good to see a lot of cool people hanging around.
One is only as good as the experiences they have amassed. Be it their personal experiences on what is "scary" or the number of films they have watched in their lifetime.
That said... Films that really scared me first time out, my top 5 list in no particular order:
Jaws, The Shining, Pet Cemetary, Jacob's Ladder, and Amityville Horror (original).
Take them as you will. :bigthumbup:
Same here. I saw it before ever knowing what it was. It was a special screening at a local theatre and I just went because I liked the title. So, for me, I had no clue what I was about to see and I have never been more afraid as I was when the credits rolled at the end.
The Blair Witch Project is the biggest waste of film in horror history. I remember reading about how scary this film was way back in 1999 when it was a smash hit at the Sundance and Cannes film festivals. It was compared to The Exorcist and Night of the Living Dead '68 - 2 of my all time favorite horror movies. I immediately got excited and couldn't wait for it to hit the States, especially being a big fan of evil witches like the one in The Wizard of Oz.
It came to my town a few months later...went to see it...sat in the theatre looking up at this complete disaster unfold before my eyes completely disappointed first, then by the time it ended became angry for being so let down. My head was killing me from the shaky camera work and my intelligence was insulted because I was lead to believe this was a horror movie, when in reality, IMO, was more like a badly wriiten comedy that never delivered. Basically, a joke with no punchline.
Scary? :lol: Hardly :dsp:
But that's your opinion. And it's certainly valid, but you can't call a movie "not scary" just because it wasn't scary for you. It just means you didn't find it scary. For me, it was astounding. Scared the piss outtta me. And I never get scared by movies ever. It just sent my imagination into a whirlwind and made me think like crazy. And I actually got invested into the characters. I however had no biases going in, because I had no clue what I was about to see, so that certainly could factor into why I am not a hater of this movie. THis movie above all movie tends to be either loved or hated.
