[JoPol_wannabe]

Which movies Creeped you out the most
I don't watch to many scary movies because though kind of movies creep me out.

Nightmare on Elme Street
The Grimlens
Willow
Jaws
Planet of the Aps
Conspiracy Theory- This wasn't real scary only when the main CIA operative tried to kill Jerry.

The true test of the scariest movies is to watch them at night, alone, in the dark.

The scariest for me would be The Shining directed Stanley Kubrick.

[Brian Damage]

Halloween is without a doubt a movie you wouldn't want to watch alone and in the dark for the first time.

It used to be the Exorcist, but I saw it like a million times. Still, its scary to watch alone in the dark. I watched Poltergiest, I did not think that was scary, my friend did tho. I think some of the cheesy 70s and 80s movies are somewhat scary, cuz u never know when the killers are gonna pop up. I hate jump scenes, I usually scream, hehe.

Scary movie to watch alone in the dark and try to make it without turning it off/ or turning on the lights. hmm, I would say--The Exorcist (I think it still packs a wallop), Jaws ( a fear we all can relate to), or a psychological horror film where the evil is felt and heard but not necessarily seen--such as The Haunting. I also think that the tv mini-series adaption of Stephen King's "Salem's Lot" is very scary.

I've said it before and I'll say it again...

The Exorcist.

*shudders*

Some of the scariest movies:

Stanley Kubrick's The Shining
Rosemary's Baby
The Omen
Halloween
Friday the 13th
The Exorcist
Don't Look Now

Brian DePalma is a master of building up the suspense, he directed:

Dressed to Kill (the few minutes just prior the elevator scene)Carrie (the few minutes just prior to the prom)

The Thirteen ghost..now that movie .. i cannot .. watch it LOL. I only watched an hour of it.. i was like ok this movie is going off NOW. I can watch The Others though..I love the ending to that movie. :) I am not a real big horror fanatic though.

[¤I Love Clay Aiken¤]

I didnt find Exorcist scary- just a lil creepy because I believe in all that stuff, but it was so long it bored me. Plus, I saw it in the theatres when it came back for the anniversary so it wasnt like I was home alone.

The only movie that gave me serious nightmares and to this day refuse to watch is IT. Something about that clown REALLY scares me...

Omg......IT. Something about clowns in general petrifies me, but THAT clown... omg.

[Ewan's My Man]

I can watch a lotta scary movies and not get scared. But when it comes down to it the scariest movie I have ever seen isn't supposed to be scary but it scared the crap outta me. Ok, the scariest movie in my opinion is............Ben Hur.

That movie....omg...we watched parts of it in S.S...and let's just say...I went home and cried...and that movies only G!!!

[-*Forever*-]

The scariest movie is.... Jeepers Creepers.

-shiver- I HATE that demon. HATE it.

To everyone who says The Exorcist: :lol: I was Captain Howdy for Halloween.

[BBF]

THE SHINING! That movie is FREAKY!!!

[AngelFromMontgomery]

Look at all the people that have seen an Ellen Burstyn movie...I'm feeling so obsessed right now. It used to be The Exorcist until I saw it and it didn't really scare me, now the scariest would be...Carrie (it hasn't actually been on yet but the previews are creepy) and Red Dragon. Red Dragon may not seem scary to everyone else but certain images in that are really really disturbing.

Nobody has mentioned Arachnophobia! I saw that when I was in 4th grade and I had an extreme fear of spiders for a long time after that. I wouldn't take a shower for weeks because I was afraid a poisinous spider would jump down and get me (there was a similar scene in the movie). I vowed never to watch that movie for as long as I lived but I have seen it several times since and it is not so bad now. This movie is not (emphasis on the not) recommended for any people who have a fear of spiders. If you even have a very small fear of spiders, stay away from this movie.

Alright I am not really afraid of any scary movies, but one that I really liked was Alien. I saw that one when I was 3 and I loved it, even back then. Also I enjoyed Hellraiser. My dad hates that movie with a passion. I think that is the one that scares him the most. Also I enjoy all of the classic ones too, such as, The Exorcist, Halloween, Carrie, and A Nightmare On Elm Street.

I take it your talking about the 2002 re-make that aired a couple weeks ago? Personally, nothing can compare to the 1976 smash. Brian DePalma is the best.

The Shining. I dunno if its the scariest, but it's the best one in my opinion.

The version with Jack Nicholson and Shelley Duvall or the version with
Steven Weber and Rebecca De Mornay?

I haven't seen enough scary movies to be scared- mainly because I have bad expectations that all horror films are the scariest things ever- so i usually avoid them. However, not in the long term- but for a couple days I was real creeped out (the film finished at like 11pm!) and also after watching 'Signs' I was kinda creeped out to. Then again- I think I watch so few horror films is because I used to be scared easily- I remember I use to be afraid of Beetlejuice- though last night it was on TCM (TCM getting a bit modern now- I think the youngest film is Interview with the vampire) and I watched it all. However- I revently started watching a bit of horror- they keep showing the Japanese Ringu films on sci-fi- but it's on SO late! I supposed I'm trying to be brave.

OT: Has anyone seen the film 'Freaks'? I watched it a 10:45 on TCM last night- I can't see why the film was banned- but it's an amusing film though. I taped it- to think that for the past few weeks I've been meaning to buy it for £9 online when all I needed was a blank tape.

[webuster]

I remember Arachnophobia now- used to scare the hell outta me- i haven't watched 'the shining' in full, but what i saw was real scary. I think what is the creepiest are those tv shows (I havent seen shock movie macabre yet- I heard it's good) that show the scariest bits from horror. Films like silence of the lambs don't have one scary bit, it's built up over the whole film- I like the whole trilogy (I saw Manhunter (mostly) before Red Dragon- it's ok)- and my cousins , which sometimes have a weird taste in films at 6 years old- some of them always wanna watch Hannibal.

"Arachnophobia" is more funny than scary, especially John Goodman's brilliant performance as the exterminator.
