What movies legitimately scare the crap out of you?

[Jericho]

I don't mean, "Oh that was a creepy movie". I mean, you have trouble sleeping

Poltergeist-The fact that that movie is rated PG baffles me. Oh, take the family! WTF. That movie is fucked up spooky

The Serpent and The Rainbow-I've never seen the whole thing, but I saw about ten minutes when I was younger,and it scarred me for a month

The Shining-Jack Nicholson can make little Joel piss himself. Great

The early Halloweens-When I'd watch that shit on Halloween by myself in Jr. High and I heard a noise, that was a wrap, son.

[Face]

I don't watch a lot of scary movies, but the ring left me feeling anxious for a couple hours after I watched it the first time

PS poltergeist predated the PG13 rating... in fact, it helped to inspire it

[Satan]

The first ring movie left me a little unsettled. Although it probably wasn't the best idea to watch it at 3am when I was sleep deprived. The phone rang and woke me up at 6am from my troubled sleep. Needless to say that creeped me the fuck out.

The original exorcist gave me nightmares, but I was also a kid. Now it doesn't really do much for me.

[Morfin]

Nicholas Cage movies scare the bejeebers out of me. Not the movies themselves, but the fact that he is popular. It scares me that there are that many brain-dead people out there that actual think that he is a good actor.

[Jericho]

Oh, and arachnophobia. Spiders already creep me out without a movie showing that they're out to kill me

[Face]

Oh, and arachnophobia. Spiders already creep me out without a movie showing that they're out to kill me
wuss

[Jericho]

At least spiders are real! Not videos and phone calls!

[papillon]

Jaws and An American Werewolf in London.

[ShitBreak]

The remake of the Ring freaked me the fuck out. Especially when I saw it on DVD home alone, and found the Easter Egg where it shows you the whole video, but you can't pause or quit it until it's over.

Also, M. Night's "Signs" freaked me out. That video on CNN at the kids party where the alien just walks by literally fucking killed me.

[WigglingWii]

I really can't watch scary movies, they give me nightmares. From the limited number of scary movies I've seen, I gotta say that the Sixth Sense scared the crap out of me. I also have an irrational fear of Bull Terriers. This resulted from a movie I saw as a little kid. I can't remember the name of the movie.

I'm kind lame, I know.

[Rafczy]

Exorcist
Omen

[Jericho]

Oh, I forgot Open Water. Most people I've had watch that movie hated it. But I was motherfucking terrified for those people. I'm more scared by movies where the shit can actually happen rather than werewolves or zombies. And Open Water had me fucking freaked. I doubt I'll ever go in the ocean again because of that movie

[WigglingWii]

Oh yea, I forgot, too. Army of Darkness was scary. I can't fathom how the guy can have a chainsaw for an arm. *shudders* UGh.

[ShitBreak]

Army of Darkness was scary?

Wow.

Don't go watch the Care Bears movie anytime soon. You might cry.

[WigglingWii]

Army of Darkness was scary?

Wow.

Don't go watch the Care Bears movie anytime soon. You might cry.


:(

I told you that I'm lame. I think if someone wanted to torture me, they could just make me watch all of the Saw movies.

[Hanover Fist]

Jaws and the original Amityville Horror with James Brolin and Margot Kidder. Both of those movies actually changed my behavior. I used to love to go to the beach in Santa Monica as a kid before I saw that movie, not so much afterward. I remember being scared to be the last one in a pool after seeing JAWS for that matter. Amityville Horror made me afraid to look out my bedroom window at night because I was always afraid I would see Jodies eyes staring back at me.

[Will-Kill]

The Movie It.....Tim Curry is a frighting man.

[Genius]

Requiem for a Dream left me feeling legitimately upset for over a week. Not really scared, just not right in the head.

[Hoser]

Oh, and arachnophobia. Spiders already creep me out without a movie showing that they're out to kill me

That is the only movie that creeps me out. Not like I can't sleep, but the fact that spiders scare me and it is a movie about spiders.

Other then that no movies scare me. I just cannot get scared by a movie, not sure why.

[Rafczy]

Trainspotting was a fucking horror movie for me.

[Hoser]

The Movie It.....Tim Curry is a frighting man.

I watched that a few years ago and thought, "Wow what a dumb movie" I never understood how people liked it.

[heelsguy]

the first movie to scare me in a "I can't sleep tonight" way was "The Omen". The last scene when Damien is holding the hand of the president and turns back to the camera was bone-chilling. those with religious overtones are the ones that get me the most. not the slasher types.
after that is "The Shining".

[Mustard]

Most scary movies just piss me off because so many of those encounters are sooooo avoidable.

The last movie I saw that actually made me think, "Holy fuck, I would be shitting my pants if I had to do that", was Silent Hill where the woman went into the abandoned hospital's basement to confront... fuck, whats her name, the one who got burned for being a witch as a kid. The only way I would have been convinced to go down there was if I had a minigun ala Jesse Ventura in Predator.

[Bastard]

The movie Jacob’s Ladder freaked me out. Those doctors with no eyes and fucked up faces were disturbing.

Misery was an excellent film but scary as hell. My girlfriend is a crazy Sicilian and I could totally see her attacking me with a sledgehammer or axe.

http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m24/Arrogant__Bastard/Misery04.jpg

[NOTKyle]

I saw the Fly when I was in 1st grade at a friends house and didn't sleep for a week.

I think that was the last sorta-scary movie I've seen. I don't play that shit.

[Candycane]

The Exorcist. It always has and always will. I can watch Vampire movies, werewolves, and zombies and get turned on, but ANYTHING possession related or demon eye white eyeball or black eyeball bullshit makes me terrified. No kidding. I was about 8 and my mom was watching Exorcist on like a VHS and we had the AC on, so the GIANT sliding glass door was shut and you could see the reflection from the TV in it. I caught a glimpse of the movie and couldn't sleep for weeks.

[WET HOT MESS]

I hated Chucky even though I've only seen 10 minutes of it. I hated clowns after watching It. All led into me hating clowns and dolls and clown dolls. I watched Dr. Giggles and couldn't sleep. I watched Tales from the Hood and hated dolls even more. But like CC, I'm fine with zombies, vampires, werewolves, rapists.

[zero]

The Exorcist

I can't watch the scene where she comes down the stairs like a spider for that matter I can't watch the movie at all.

[jemeske]

Event Horizon. Though the ending was a let down.

[CTricksterGirl]

I'm going to have to go with the other females on this and say "The Exorcist" because I was a really nice 11 year old Catholic school girl the first time I watched it and the religious connotations and the fact that an innocent little girl (like me) could be possessed and turned into a complete fuckin crazy demon scared the shit out of me..

And the original Omen...that kid was such a fucking creeper....

[Ch_ris]

The Descent. I'm pretty claustrophobic, so there were a couple of scenes where i was going nuts.

[Bastard]

The ending to the Zuni fetish doll story from Trilogy of Terror was creepy.

Ol' Painless? Because that worked out so well for The Body?

I had two older brothers watching the Exorcist and Chainsaw Massacre and shit like that when I was a little kid, so I'm pretty immune to horror films. Jaws is the only film to have a real after effect on me. I didn't go into the water at beaches for years after that shit.

*Waves penis at your face*

Open Water, I'm tellin ya. Much more of a realistic situation
Yeah, I know, I saw it and...I dunno. I admit it's more possible and probably would have been much scarier if I was 8, but I've just become disillusioned with hollywood magic. Plus, I had a total boner from early on in the film when you see the chick naked. It's hard to be scared with a raging hardon.

Back when Carpenter's game was seriously tight. Carpenter was like, "You see that forty gazillion dollar horror movie there, Mr. Hot Producer? People came out of it fucking laughing, you'd have thought that thing had Chevy Chase in it. Now, I'm gonna make a movie that will cost less than that cup of coffee you're holding. It's gonna have a bunch of homeless people, some guy from Magnum PI, oh yeah, and Alice Cooper, and I'm gonna make people shit their pants so hard, you'll think the theater was a slum in Calcutta. It'll make the honeys scream so loud, you'll think they just saw my genitalia."

showgirls... absolutely horrifying

[Bizz]

I grew up watching all sorts of scary movies. Halloween was a bigger holiday than Christmas at my house. My step dad owns a hurst just for the fun of it. Do you have any idea how difficult it is to buy a coffin when nobody is dead?! I do.

Anyways, the movies never scared me. Personally I enjoy a good scary game over a scary movie. The only one to ever get a reaction from me was Arachnophobia. Only because I'm terrified of spiders.

[vasili denisov]

showgirls... absolutely horrifying
They're women in a movie. Just keep reminding yourself that there's no possibility you'll actually have to socially interact with them, and you'll be okay.

You know who I'd really like to see in a hurst? Fred Dearse.

[Le Goat]

Arachnaphobia scared me when I was 8, that's the last time I was scared. Nothing nowadays does. They're all cheap. 28days Later doesn't scare me but it does do a masterful job of showing the Transformation of a human into something not unlike the zombies themselves. I like breaking down characters and when ya do that, nothing becomes scary.

[Daydreamer]

Horror movies don't scare me anymore, but show somebody getting poked with a needle on screen and that gives me the heebie jeebies.

[Le Goat]

I'm more about watching someone change mentally than blood and guts showering the place. If the god damn genre would get smart and infuse the Mental Fuck aspect of terror they just might get back on Top. Also lose the fucking Predictableness (fuck yea made up words!)

[medlar]

Event Horizon. You could have gotten the same treatment as the Aliean fare, but instead, the monstEr is inside your head. So it is in the genre of being "changed mentally".I found it pretty intense right up to the final gore fest. Decent cast as well.

I was ten when I saw HellRaiser and couldn't get the sound of chains out of my head.

The descent. Freaked out hot chicks, and it was more the claustorphobic atmoshere than the actual creatures.

[NoGravitas]

Can laugh at it now but first time i saw The Signs i was shit scared. Good use of camera cuts to cause frights.

[Hobnail_Boot]

The Ring, Night of the Living Dead, and some of the early Nightmare on Elm Street films scared the crap out of me.

[janois]

Exorcist. When that bitch does the crabwalk down the stairs... I actually don't like thinking about it.

[Okie Medicvet]

Jaws..and yes, I went into the water afterwards and continued to boogie board, and was even vicious enough to go deep underwater and grab my little sisters ankles and watch them freak out. And the whole time I was scared shitless myself.

The Night of the Living Dead-scary movie, even with the most laughable horror movie line ever (the sherriff talking to the media about the zombies): "Yeah, they're dead, they're...all messed up." Still managed to freak me out..and then when they get the brother in the end thinking he is a zombie, I was all like "that's racist!" But then I remembered I have blonde hair and blue eyes and felt better.

And Nightmare on Elm Street..I was literally MADE to watch that show (loooong story) and couldn't sleep well for weeks afterwards. Didn't help that I saw the second and third back to back the following week..I had the tv he had the vcr and wanted to watch the movies, but would I voluntarily watch any after that, oh hell no!!!!

great point about Jaws, Okie. I completely forgot about how terrified I was to go in the ocean in deep water.

[noahsdove]

The Eye. The original from Japan and

The Ring or Ringu from Japan the original one from Japan too.

[Candycane]

The Ring, Night of the Living Dead, and some of the early Nightmare on Elm Street films scared the crap out of me.


Yeah even though I'm in love with zombies.. Night of the living dead has that "how the fuck do they get out of this?" appeal to me.

[Spanky]

Event Horizon

Chucky. Good lord, after I saw that as a child, I could not sleep for weeks.

[WET HOT MESS]

You hate dolls too?

No, gingers.

Honestly, most. But Chucky is really a bad one.

[Kerjack]

Its been so long since I've seen Event Horizon but I do remember it creeping me out, but almost in a good way.

[STDSkillz]

I just watched Exorcist and wasn't really frightened by it. Good movie, though. I'm going to try to watch Event Horizon soon. I saw it when I was like 10 and hated it. Maybe I'll like it more now.

[STDSkillz]

After watching Event Horizon, I feel like it was a poor man's Solaris.

[Le Goat]

Lulz Solaris, I liked that movie. But it did come out years after Event Horizon. Event Horizon isn't that scary now, but 10yrs ago it was.Spanky said IT and fuck yes, that shit still creeps me out. That's prob just childhood trauma though.I'm prob a pussy for saying this, But The Mothman Prophecies gave me chills :(

[Penguin Rick]

The Strangers (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0482606/).

My friend walked into the room during the middle of a suspenseful scene and I screamed at him.

[redsox39]

Jaws made me avoid the deep end of the pool for many of my younger years, and Lawn mower man (i think) made me terrified of the garbage disposal, but I don't really watch "Horror Movies", because they are ghey.

I have watched some Jason and some Freddy, saw Saw II...they are just silly. I think as a defensive mechanism, my suspention of disbelief will not kick in long enough for me to get scared at them.

Now if it could only stop me from crying in front of people at "Marley & Me"...

[STDSkillz]

Lulz Solaris, I liked that movie. But it did come out years after Event Horizon.
Solaris came out 25 years before, actually. The remake (with George Clooney) did come out afterwards, yes.

Aliens is still creepy, but more-so cause of that GOD DAMN BEEPING. Fuuuuuuuuck just the sound of it, knowing something was somewhere in the black, creeps me out. I need that shit as my ringtone.

[Warden]

Halloween freaks my shit, even to this day. Something about M.M not saying a word or making a sound the entire time...fuck.

Other than that, I can stand most horror movies. As long as I dont let my imagination take off, I'm fine.
