Whats the scariest movie you've ever seen? (That would be all the way through, not halfway because you wet yourself)

Currently it's The Ring for me. That one didn't just fuck with my head, it ass-raped it.

I freaking LOVE horror movies.

Consequently, it takes a great deal to scare me.

The last two flims to actually scare me were:

The Original Excorcist.

In the Mouth of Madness.

The Day After Tomorrow was scary cos it was so BAD and it made so much money. Likewise Independence Day and any of the recent remakes. I hear Alien vs Predator is totally cr*ppy too.

Exactly. But I'm going to add Alien as well for a three-way tie for me. I can't decide because all three are different types of horror.

Because I have a stupid ass fear of Werewolves despite not believing in them even a little bit-American Werewolf in London

Because it was creepy and well done-Jacob's Ladder

I hear Alien vs Predator is totally cr*ppy too.

I like PVP's one-line review.

"I thought it was a half-hour of awesome wrapped in an hour of suck."

Any WW2 camp movie ("Amen." was the last one I saw), because of the sickness of the idea

Alien was really good too.

Big acid drooling killing machines that pop out of the dark at you, are just creepy.

I like PVP's one-line review.

"I thought it was a half-hour of awesome wrapped in an hour of suck."

:D

As for recent movies that are scary, Im gonna give two films the Honorable Mention.

House of a 1000 Corpses, by Rob Zombie was much better than I was expecting.
Good one liners, and some decent gore. Good number of jump out at ya scenes, and some decent cinamatography.

Texas Chainsaw Massacre-remake.
Excellent Gore.
Nice and scary, and R. Lee Ermey!

If you havent seen these two, rent them!

I like PVP's one-line review.

"I thought it was a half-hour of awesome wrapped in an hour of suck."
Yeah, that really summed it up.

Amen. *high-fives*

Anyone who thinks otherwise is simply incorrect in their views.

I'd also like to add that Bambi ranks fairly highly on my Horror movie list. That one kept me up for days.... Jesus that was scary... That other rival deer... God....

I haven't been really scared by a movie since I was a kid. Now scary movies just bore me.

The original Halloween was pretty scary.

Well I just saw "The Grudge" last night so that's tops on my list.

And with that (and in no order of importance)...

1. The Grudge
2. The Exorcist (Director's cut with deleted scenes)
3. Alien
4. Night of the Creeps
5. Night of the Living Dead (the 1st remake in color)
6. Salem's Lot (the 1st one not the Rob Lowe version)
7. Hand That Rocks The Cradle
8. House
9. The Amityville Horror
10. The Amityville Horror 2
11. Signs

The Day After Tomorrow was scary cos it was so BAD and it made so much money.That was exactly the movie that came to mind for me. I just Netflixed it and watched it--good God, was it bad.

Who Framed Roger Rabbit?

That film is intense.

Real life is scarier

I have no shame when it comes to frightening stories of gross incompetence. :D

Day after Tommorrow is an ok movie but its nowhere close to scary because it is 100% impossible for it to happen, the only part which is really worth watching is the storms and the instant freeze parts.

Scariest Movie: The Excorsist and Scary Movie 2, that part where she gets her head cut off but she still talks is shit scary... hehe...

I can't remember all the scariest movies I've seen but Aliens, Poltergeist(the first!!) and Rosemary's baby rank somewhere at the top of my list, some of the other ones mentionned do bring back a chill or two.

Signs would be a fairly good film if it wasn't for all the bible bashing bullshit.

The Exorcist and probably Salem's Lot (Both the original versions)

Although my favorite scary movie series was "Halloween" except for Halloween 3, because it had nothing to do with Michael Myers.

I freaking LOVE horror movies.

Consequently, it takes a great deal to scare me.

The last two flims to actually scare me were:

The Original Excorcist.

In the Mouth of Madness.
The Exorcist has one scary bit. And I can't remember it. Mostly it was just funny.

Currently it's The Ring for me.
You mean the Japanese version right? Try the second one too. Then Dark Water. Not as good but it has its moments.

The Shining?

The Shining?

O0o0o0o0o good choice. I didn't even think about that one!

Definitely 'The Shining' for creepiest movie ever.
Though there's quite a few creepy Japanese movies out.
And a good one I saw recently was a Korean movie called "Old Boy" about a man kidnapped, held in a small room, shown a videotape of his wife being murdered then just let go 15 years later with no idea of who kidnapped him or why. And man, does he get pissed!
Not really horror, but ultra-violent to the point of sickening (a particular scene sticks in the mind when he takes on a group with a hammer). Tarrantino loved it apparently.

Titanic

Titanic

terrible movie but not scary

I just saw a movie last night and it had Nick Carter in it... shudder...

Clockwork Orange
Shining
Exorcist

All but the Shining I don't need to see again. I just saw a little of Clockwork and I had enough. Disturbing.

Scariest movie ever seen... Man's Best Friend. I love dogs, but when they get mean, they scare the shit out of me. Especially killer man eating cyborg dogs.

There's only one movie that truly scared me and that's the exorcist. I wasn't afraid of horror movies, until my mom made me sit down and actually watch it. I slept with the light on two months after that, lol.

Super Size Me

I haven't touched fast food since.

I actually thought the new Exorcist (The Beginning) was scarier than the original. One nobody has mentioned: Event Horizon. Very scary movie. I didn't think The Ring was very scary. The recent remake of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre was scary too. And House of 1000 Corpses...not so much really scary as really f*cked up.

Beetlejuice scared the shit out of me when I was a kid, and I still won't watch Wizard of Oz because of those damned flying monkeys.

None of the new horror movies are any good. I'm sorry, but gore is sickening, NOT frightening. There's a difference between staying up all night with the covers on your head, and trying not to puke.

Same thing with the stupid "It's nice and quiet LOOKOUTSOMETHINGSJUMPINGATYOU!" crap. Whatever happened to scaring someone WITHOUT having to rely on cheap tactics like that?

Original Exorcist, easily.
The Shining was one of the few Stephen King movies that didn't have one of those "Take one good movie, add a dash of complete suck at the end, and viola!-instant ruined film!" he likes to use so much. Good movie all around, VERY creepy.

I mean, Rose Red had potential, and he SERIOUSLY cranked up the suck on that one.

Same thing with It. That's another movie that was damn good...until he fucked everyone over by making the end that crappy.

If I coud say something?

1. The Ring was not scary; Ring, the Asian version, was.

2. Clockwork orange??? That's not f***ing scary, that's a comment on society going to pot, you moron

3. Have none of you seen 28 days later? This is not the sequel to sandra bullock's drunken rampage, but a terrifying british movie. Of course you're probably all american and so only watch foreign films that are either old or shit.

4> SIGNS????? That is THE most stupid movie I have EVER heard of! Ahh, lets us go and invade this planet, surely we will take these technological weaklings and rule them - oh no! i failed to notice that not only is 70% of their planet made up of water (to which we are highly allergic) but the humans THEMSELVES are made up of 70% water. Now how did i miss that one? Could it be because the writer is on CRACK??? Goddamnit

Signs creeped me out. I'm a big fan of 'horror' films, and I've seen a lot of em (yay for netflix!).

28 days later was pretty scary, not too bad. However, it couldnt hold a candle to Dawn of the Dead (the remake). Dawn was just freakin awesome. Not particularly scary, but the funniest and most entertaining zombie movie of all time. The new Resident Evil movie is pretty good, I thought it was better than the first.

The entire Jason (Friday the 13th) movie series is awesome. Yay for goofy special effects and pseudo-horror!

I refuse to see the grudge. It looks like it's picked out all the most horrifying images (for me) from movies I've seen, added a few new ones, and blended into a single movie. Just watching the previews gave me the shivers for another 20 or 30 minutes the first time.

1. The Ring was not scary; Ring, the Asian version, was.

Ummmm .... yah .... cuz anime can be so scarey ... :rolleyes:

2. Clockwork orange??? That's not f***ing scary, that's a comment on society going to pot, you moron

Sometimes social commentary is scarey ... F 9/11, Super Size Me, JFK, etc ... scarey ... in a different way.

3. Have none of you seen 28 days later? This is not the sequel to sandra bullock's drunken rampage, but a terrifying british movie. Of course you're probably all american and so only watch foreign films that are either old or shit.

Yes, we all saw it. Disease meets Zombies meets Military providence ... it wasn't worth mentioning, but it had some funny moments.

Here I agree with you ... everything M. Night Shamalamadingdong has done has been shit .... but ....

Settle down, Beavis ... everyone is entitled to their opinion.

"The Passion of The Christ" had the most moments I found really hard to watch

28 days later was pretty scary, not too bad. However, it couldnt hold a candle to Dawn of the Dead (the remake). Dawn was just freakin awesome. Not particularly scary, but the funniest and most entertaining zombie movie of all time. The new Resident Evil movie is pretty good, I thought it was better than the first.
Zombie movies? Four words for you.. Shaun of the Dead..

Dawn(remake) wasn't bad. Did like Tom Savini as a cameo! All done on sets though, or mear enough. For 28 Days Later they cleared London at 4 in the morning!! Now that's dedication.

Night of the Living dead. Original version.

Ummmm .... yah .... cuz anime can be so scarey ...
Dude, Ring? Not anime. They used those people things to make it instead.

The only movie that scared me was IT, i had nightmares for a week, then again i was 11.

Poltergeist and Poltergeist 2 were really scary...

I was about 5 or 6 when I saw them...and due to that youthful fear...I have still never seen the third installment.

Also the old man poltergeist is scary.

'Babe' and 'Babe: Pig in the City'

Talking animals.. WHAT THE HELL!!

The Serpent And The Rainbow managed to scare me.

Whats the scariest movie you've ever seen? (That would be all the way through, not halfway because you wet yourself)

Currently it's The Ring for me. That one didn't just fuck with my head, it ass-raped it.

The Ring isn't scary! Ringu, the Japanese original is seriously f***ed up though!

I love scary movies but recently because of all this jargon about appealing to women and of having stories that make sense the standard of scary films has dropped appallingly. Did anyone actually a) enjoy Scream and b) think it was any scarier than Tots TV (NO, NOT DONKEY!)?

Why do films have to make sense? Films are much scarier and much more enjoyable when they purely involve some invincible lunatic running around and killing whoever the f*** he likes i.e. Elm Street and Halloween.

Get rid of the stupid liberal nonsense that is killing the Horror genre!

AYE!! Bring back Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing. Actually Cushing might need reanimating... REANIMATOR 86.5: CUSHING'S REVENGE

28 Days Later did it for me, as did Aftermath and When the Wind Blows.

Creepy scary:
The Shining
Event Horizon (yay! Fake science!)
Children of the Corn
Blair Witch Project (I know, I know... I suck, it's true)
Jaws (yay! sharks!)

Funny 'scary':
The Omen
Deep Blue Sea (wooo, super advanced++ sharks! *Mako* sharks, no less)
Ghost Ship (HAHAHAHA!)
Open Water (moron 1:"I can't see the sharks! I can't seeeeeee them!"
me, to self: "that's because you're staring at the horizon, you ditz)

o.O scary:
Clockwork Orange
Apocolypse Now
Blood: The Last Vampire (mmmanime-y)

..I'd also like to add that Bambi ranks fairly highly on my Horror movie list. That one kept me up for days.... Jesus that was scary... That other rival deer... God....

Bambi ranks right up there at number 2 for scariest movies ever seen.. right below.. dare I say it..

CARE BEARS!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

Well I just saw "The Grudge" last night so that's tops on my list.


That's the next one I'll watch. The original one I mean. Japanese and Koreans have made some good horror movies.
The exorcist and the Shining are brilliant. And The silence of the lambs. Enjoyed Tesis (by Amenábar) a lot.
28 days later was incredibly bad, but Shaun of the Dead was great. Alright, it isn't a horror movie but I was terrified the next morning walking through the mall. My fellow neighbours looked exactly like the doddering zombies waiting for the pub to open.

Well, I'm a huge horror fan, so they don't really scare me much - but I would probably say Hellraiser (I & II) and Event Horizon, and John Carpenter's "The Thing" when I was younger...

The Thing is a fun movie, but I wouldn't exactly call it scary. Maybe when you were younger. Shit, I freaked out at resident evil when i was like 8 or something

the game, not the shitty film

'Babe' and 'Babe: Pig in the City'

Talking animals.. WHAT THE HELL!!

The movie Animal Farm would be more scary in the talking animals dept.

Whats the scariest movie you've ever seen? (That would be all the way through, not halfway because you wet yourself)

Currently it's The Ring for me. That one didn't just fuck with my head, it ass-raped it.

The Ring? U.S. remake or Japenese original, if you've just saw the remake you'd have a panic attack if you saw the original.

If I coud say something?

1. The Ring was not scary; Ring, the Asian version, was.

2. Clockwork orange??? That's not f***ing scary, that's a comment on society going to pot, you moron

I would like to apologise for these remarks. I blame it on being from the North of England (help), my alter-ego General Pinochet briefly taking over my left wing utopian goodness, and cheese. I don't know why, its just yellowy badness made by sour milk gets on my tits. Eh up lad, does tha' knw what am sayin? Out wi cheese in's bloody pants

i saw the exorcist when i was 10 and found it hilarious...

i really find most horror films to be a variation on comedy films...

=D and come on, you honestly don't think there's a difference between the ring and ringu do you? and ringu 2 is just terrible. but to give credit to the american version, the actual video that they watch is more fucked up.

stigmata was a film that makes me laugh now, but i found it scary first time round due to the reason my friends were delibrately trying to scare me.

good film that hollywood is going to ruin? battle royale... an original idea and a lot of jumps. not scary as such, and not the scariest, but it's better than most.

addam's family movies have more originality than most films out today...

and really, i'm surprised no one has mention bedknobs and broomsticks... scary stuff that.

red rose, the haunted, house on the haunted hill, scary movie 2... gotta love them... a bunch of people going to a haunted house getting killed off one by one... love it. and i think it was in scary movie 1 that the person had their head chopped off and continued talking, lol... scary movie 2 was the one with the hilarious guy with the withered hand.

The only movie to ever scare me was Event Horizon. Never watch that movie alone at night. I've seen The Ring (not Ringu, yet), 28 Days Later, Halloween, most of the Friday the 13th, House of the Dead, Shining, Poltergeist, and tons of other "horror" movies. I have to say, the one that scared me the least was The Ring. Can someone explain what part scared the begeezes out of them? Because if it was the girl crawling out of the TV, you need to re-evaluate your life. That was one of the most predictable and lamest things I have seen in years. If you guys can recommend any other horror flicks that do not have either of the words "House" or "Dead" in them, let me know. And I will watch The Exorcist and A Clockwork Orange sometime soon, when I'm in the mood.

Okay. I just went and saw "The Grudge" with Sarah Michelle Gellar over the weekend with a few friends. I was so pissed with the ending. It wasn't scary; it was actually a bit amusing. Yeah, there are parts where you jump because it's just so sudden and what not but you can tell when those "scary" parts are coming.

SUMMARY: Don't waste your money.

If you want to see a true HORROR movie, check out "Cannabul (sp?) Holocaust". It's not like "Event Horizon" or any other freak out movie...it's true life. It will scare you to think that this is possible. This is a true story because it's based on actual documentary footage. You'll have to search high and low for it; it was banned in over 70 countries including the States until recently. I don't know about other nations though. That movie is truly scary.

SUMMARY: See "Cannible (sp?) Holocaust"

-----------------------------------------------------------

In the grand scheme of things:

What's a scary movie? No, seriously... They say these movies are scary and whatnot however they are just to make you jump. You know in reality half of the stuff portraited by Hollywood is all fake. Granted some of the FX are super and almost life-like, but in the end you know it's not possible.

Its spelt cannibal. so you know

...Wiait, aren't there two versions of that movie? Like Ring and Ringu? And...if so...I'm assuming Gellar is in the english one, which is prooobebly WHY it sucked so hard.

And I agree, I'm so sick of the stupid "LOOKITSAMONSTER NOW JUMP!" movies. And the "OMGBLOOD!!!" movies.

You shouldn't have to resort to mass amounts gore and things jumping at you in order to frighten someone

Personally, I didn't find Ringu to be scarier than The Ring at all, I think i'm missing something here heh. I loved The Ring though, even if it wasn't "OMG i pissed myself and crapped my pants" scary, very few movies are. It's mostly "La la la la, peace and quiet, everythings good" and then " BAMMMMMM LOUD MUSIC AND A GUY IN A SUIT STABBING PEOPLE". Half the time it isn't even anything scary, just like a bat or one of the characters that's going to die later on jumping out on the other Killer Bait but its the loud noises they play and the suddeness of it all that makes you jump. Like those things where you stare at some picture trying to find something that isnt there and all of a sudden a guy appears and screams. Sure its a shock, but that's all it is. Then theres zombie movies, which is just a bunch of people trapped in a house/building waiting for something to happen, whoo boy, that sure is freaky :rolleyes: . And then theres the "Giant Animal" genre which are just horrible for the most part. Just seems like a good horror movie is hard to find these days. That being said, i liked the exorcist and The Ring (as a movie, even if it wasnt really frightening).

Edited for spelling errors.

2. Clockwork orange??? That's not f***ing scary, that's a comment on society going to pot, you moron


...I would like to apologise for these remarks.


Are you also going to retract your claim that Clockwork Orange is about society going to pot? - what it really is about is the necessity of commiting evil acts in order to prove that we are free. At the very end Alex, having fallen in love, considers that in time he will have children and they too will commit evil acts, just as he has done, and in doing so affirm their own humanity.

yes, but its also a teke on what was happening throughout the punk era of the 1970s, and what would happen if that kind of anarchy was allowed to continue and eventually tear the UK apart. AND, about what happens when the punks become the filth (his fellow druuges)

Probably the biggest factor of a movie's scariness is when you watch it. Most of the horror movies I see are with a bunch of my friends in the middle of the day, which really destroys the horror in it because everyone's laughing at each other, wheras if you're watching something in the middle of the night alone, you're going to shit your pants no matter what you're watching.

Remarkably prescient for a film made in 1971 from a book published in 1962, seeing that. as I'm sure you know, the first punk record in the UK wasn't released until October 1976 (New Rose by The Damned), no?

i used to shit my pants at one of the old Sugar Puffs adverts, where children ate sugarpuffs and then their skin ripped and revealed 7ft yellow hairy honey monsters. That was like any zombie horror you see today - except they were braindead because of consumerism

It was the appearance of John Cooper Clarke that I found particularly disturbing.

sorry, me no too smart. i didn't know this and that was what it represented to me, and since films and books are about your perspective, i am righ in my mind. not anyone elses though, especially not my other minds

It was the appearance of John Cooper Clarke that I found particularly disturbing.

someone else knows my horror!

i was only about 4, so i dont remember it that well

Yeah, there are parts where you jump because it's just so sudden and what not but you can tell when those "scary" parts are coming.

Wow! You saw it with Sarah Michelle Gellar? :) Just kidding.
Actually, I liked it. I don't like movies where people run around, something goes boo and then everybody screams, run a little, then boo again. But this one has nothing like that. Very little running, practically no screaming, very little boo factor and no gore. But it's very atmospheric and tense and scared me.

The end is sucky, though. That happens to almost all scary movies.

Barney's Great Adventure (I think that was the title) :eek:

Don't joke. Barney is a Demon from the Marketing god's loins

Think my ridiculously unpunk-like punk friend would have issues with the 1976 start date. He'd probably tell you to go listen to Gorilla Biscuits or something (no I'm not kidding, look up Gorilla Biscuits). I'd just like to say Kill 'Em All.

I have to say, the one that scared me the least was The Ring. Can someone explain what part scared the begeezes out of them
It's the poor girl's haircut. AAAHH Stylist's nightmare!!

1. The Vanishing
2. Gigli

Anything with Pauly Shore in it. Freaks me out.

I just saw The Grudge on Monday, but even though it was creepy as van full of pederasts, I wasn't really affected by it because of who was sitting next to me in the theatre. Lesson Learned: the Adorable outweighs the Scary.

Well I just saw "The Grudge" last night so that's tops on my list.

You should check out "Ju-On" then...that's the Japanese movie "The Grudge" was adapted from. People cite the relationship between "the Ring" and "Ringu" when talking about it...basically saying that the Japanese original was far scarier. I've not seen "The Grudge" yet, so I'm not going to make this claim. But, "Ju-On" was going to be my contribution to the list - it was scary as hell.

Also, in tribute the the zombie movies I love so much, I'll add "Night of the Living Dead."

If you want to see a true HORROR movie, check out "Cannabul (sp?) Holocaust". It's not like "Event Horizon" or any other freak out movie...it's true life. It will scare you to think that this is possible. This is a true story because it's based on actual documentary footage.

Um...I hate to water down your appreciation of an undoubtedly great film, but it wasn't real documentary footage. This was a documentary, or non-fiction, in the way that The Blair Witch Project was. A clever fake documentary commenting on the nature of the West's influence on native cultures, yes, but not real. IMDB has the following to say regarding the controversy surrounding it:

* The special effects in the film were so realistic that director Ruggero Deodato reportedly had to go to court and prove that it was just make-up and fake blood and guts.

* The animal slaughterings in the movie were real, which resulted in the movie's being banned in its native Italy.

* The film caused some scandal in Italy at the time, and had trouble with the censorship board. There was a rumor that the performers had really been slain, so director R'uggero Deodato' had to take the actors with him to the set of an Italian TV show in order to prove that they hadn't been eaten alive.

So no, not real, but still a great film.
