Remember, I didn't say it's what I prefer in a scary movie, I said it's what gets me. I agree completely though about the guts and gore though because it doesn't do anything for me. [ 10-31-2003, 07:06 PM: Message edited by: Ronn_Bman ]

I have answered this one before [img]smile.gif[/img]
The scariest movie ever has to be the original Nightmare on Elm Street - particularly when watched in a large strange old wooden house with shutters and creaks and a huge lightning storm doing the special effects. When you can have the shutters slam open and the storm billow the curtains over the poor huddled masses shivering on the couch all accompanied with lighning and immediate thunder at all of the choicest parts of the film; when you can follow the film with a blackout and you don't know where the candles are kept; when you wake up and the house is creaking and moving around you and you don't know where you are or where the bathroom is; when every flash of lightning reveals a shadow of menace and the film music keeps playing on and on in your head - then you have seen the scariest movie ever [img]smile.gif[/img] .

Alien.
Im no fan of these idiotic new slasher flicks where womens breasts must be exposed at least once and copius gore and blood should spray. They always show too much too early not to mention surprise moments are not what makes a scary movie.

How could I have forgotten Aliens? That is one scary freakin' movie, not to mention the final panty scene for us (at the time) prepubescent horno's.
D2.... Stop scaring me! [img]smile.gif[/img]

I find small moments good. But I watched Ring last night. The only part of shock was the out of TV bit. The sights of people with the look of horror on their dead faces was a nice touch. As someone said, Event Horizon is disturbing, not scary.
When I was like 4 or 5 I watched the start of T2- that scared me. I saw people dying, robots killing etc. I was young before I get any funny looks. I know find many horror movies predictable, "oh dear I need to go outsdie on the stormy night while the murderer is about town" signals dumbass dying. And dark corners are hiding spots. Always.

I have not seen The Haunting or The Other, but have heard nothing but good things about them both. I can't find them for rent at the local video stores (I can find the NEW version of The Haunting, but that sucks other than Catherine Zeta-Jones, and of course I am not talking about her acting ), and never see them listed on the TV schedule.

Salemn's Lot the book scared the crap out of me, but the movie with David Soul only makes me giggle. [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img]
How could I forget(again) Halloween, and The Howling. Nightmare On Elm Street was scary, but the rest of the series turned me off. [ 10-31-2003, 09:06 PM: Message edited by: Ronn_Bman ]

I think The Exorcist has to have top honors in my book re scariest.
When the first Evil Dead came out and I watched it on video, it really creeped me out LOL. Oh and the FIRST Trilogy of Terror (with Karen Black), definitely can't count that out! The second one they made a few years ago was OK, but just not the same as the first one. Also there was this one movie I saw a looong time ago, haven't seen it in ages, it was just a TV movie, called Don't Be Afraid Of The Dark. Anyone see that? It was an older movie, probably made in the late 70's. People move into a house, and the fireplace is all bricked in, so they un-brick it (of course) and end up freeing these little monsters that were in it LOL. |

Oh, I saw Gremlins in theater when I was 10... I didn't sleep for many many nights... [img]smile.gif[/img]
Oh and recently I also saw One Hour Photo, it is not really a horror movie, but just that there is probably a human being as sad as the poor guy scared the crap out of me |
