[Dante'sInferno]

Nope, Dante, your wrong.

THE VILLAGE!!


:eek:You're forgetting House of the Dead








I conquer.:D

[Romjon13]

I vote the Exorcist to be number one over the Shining, yes the shining was scary but the Exorcist is based on true facts and some of the people on the set started dying due to the antics of the movie. The Exorcist is the one scary movie that I really cannot even watch by myself. Even If I have company while watching I am still scared of going anywhere in the house by myself. That movie is very disturbing.

[Romjon13]

Well,

1) The Exorcist , definitely
2) Pet Semetary
3) Rose Red
4) Rosemary's Baby
5) The Omen
6) Thirteen Ghost
7) Incubus
8) Poltergeist
9) The Invisible Man
10) The Shining

[crabapple]

JAWS, that horrible shark monster...he was the bees' knees of toothy critterness. When Jaws was released in 1968, people made lines around the block to wait and go see 'em. Jaws made record popcorn sales and some people got popcorn indigestion as a result. Audiences requested that Jaws sound be turned down because noise of Shark Monster was too frightening--also requested that brightness of projection bulb be de-illuminated because of shark image clarification too brightening. Film was never projected at maximum brightness, nor soundtrack played at maximum decibel level, till nearly 40 year of films original release. Is true story. Documented on late-night Jaws DVD story documentary.

Ya know i often forget that the original book says it was based on true events, but can anyone nail down these events? I would like to know what really happened because if its anything like the true events of the exorcism of Emily rose then the writer of the exorcist can kiss my ass. Frankly i think it was disgusting what they did to that poor girl and that holly wood decided to cash in on it.

Thats a helluva list.
IMO the orginal Night of the living dead should be on there. I dont know where it should fit in exactly. Not sure if there were any heart attacks related to it either though. Still one of few movies that actually makes me kinda nervous to walk to the car at night.

[toXsick]

Great list, although Nightmare on Elm Street didn't do it for me. The Exorcist definitely did, though. I don't think I'll ever outgrow that one for many of the reasons others have talked about here.

The Shining traumatized me, too. Just brilliant. And Jack reminded me of my old man when he was angry (the eyes, I think) so that gave me beaucoup nightmares. :D

But there were moments in some films that really gave me the creeps, even if the entire film wasn't all that scary. In Amityville Horror II, the opening when the son walks around killing the entire family, and especially when the sister tried to get the smallest sibling to join her behind the wall...I'll never forget that.

Rosemary's Baby when Rose approaches the coven at the end of the film to finally see her child.

The Sentinel when the gates of hell are opened and all the creatures spill out.

The end of Invasion of the Body Snatchers.

The blood test in The Thing...

So many!

[The Mothman]

B.T.K. Killer




"have you ever been to a slaughterhouse?"

[The Mothman]

Gore-Met Zombie Chef From Hell


scary.

[paws the great]

have you ever been to a slaughterhouse?

No,I've never been to one,but I have seen the flick "Slaughterhouse."



It's scary too!:)

[The Mothman]

No,I've never been to one,but I have seen the flick "Slaughterhouse."



It's scary too!:)

i was quoting BTK Killer btw.

It wasn't a girl, it was a teenage boy in the '40s. There was a diary kept by one of the people present at the exorcism that Blatty apparently read, but no one knows how, not many have been allowed to. Anyway, here's some info on the site. There is also a book called Possessed: The True Story of an Exorcism by Thoma B. Allen, I have never read it , it is supposedly a true telling, I guess he also managed to get a copy of the diary.

Yeah thats one of the ones i looked up but pretty much every website concluded that most of it was bogus information. And when i was referring to a girl i was mentioning the Emily rose case.

[CryptKeeper13]

I thought the list was good overall, but it's hard to say what movies are the scariest for everyone because different movies effect people in different ways. Like for instance, the scariest movie for me is Halloween just because I saw it as a young lad and it "scarred" me, I still have trouble viewing it all the way through.

[jenna26]

I knew what you were referring to, sorry for the misunderstanding, I phrased it wrong; I wasn't responding to the Emily Rose part of your post. :) I was just giving you the information that I knew for sure, which isn't much, compared to what was in the the film/novel The Exorcist. I don't think anyone knows too much of anything concrete because there was a lot of secrecy that surrounded the exorcism, and the boy himself.

[Rob Bottin]

My list:

1. Alien, when captain Dallas is looking for the alien.
2. Aliens, or atleast at some parts.
3. The evil dead, when the guy goes down in the basement and Ash goes down to look for him.
4. Halloween, only the main theme creeps me out completly.
5. Tim Burton´s Sleepy Hollow in the scene where Ichabod Crane is in the witch´s house but that´s it.

[swiss tony]

i watched a docu on the 'real' exorcist. in short,remove all the supernatural elements from the movie and you're pretty close to the 'real' events. here's my top ten scaries:
1, the exorcist
2, ju on
3, event horizon
4, tcm
5=, omen trilogy
8, psycho
9, bwp
10, stop or my mom'll shoot:D

[Rob Bottin]

Forgot to ment House of the dead, sooooo fucking awful it´s really scary.

[Wensday13]

Forgot to ment House of the dead, sooooo fucking awful it´s really scary.

My heart trembles at the mere notion of watching it again.

I have to agree there if we are talking about the new version. The acting in that one was shocking and disturbing.

I have to agree with some of your choices and they are all excellent films, although i have not seen suspiria. I think that I would include An American Werewolf in London, Demons, Friday the 13th. Hell I cant choose just 10 films there are just too many!

[roguesblight]

If ya watch AMCs informative version of the Exocist then you would know a bit of the true stories that it was created from. Some boy possessed back in like the 30s or 40s. But just parts of the actual possession not the surrounding storyline.
And as for scary movies, are we talking movies that actually scare ya?
That would have to be the Grizzly movies that came out back in the late 70s early 80s I think...when I was just a young lass and drive-ins were all the rage and you were surrounded by woods and it was dark and the night was full of all those wild animal sounds. Other than that...I haven't had a good scare in that many years. Sure I love the blood and gore and monsters and such...but none of it scares me. Now movies like Armaggedon and Deep Impact, they scare me on a different level!

I agree, obviously horror films can creep me out a bit but it has been years since I have actually been scared by a horror film. Films that you have mentions and other like The day after tomorrow etc can scare me now just as you said on a different level.

[Shazbut]

Reminds me of The Day After. A post nuclear war film about ordinary people surviving. There is a British version called "Threads" and that film has to be one of the most realistically horrific films I have ever seen.

I've never heard of any of those?:confused:
do you live in a cave? those are probably the most well known movies ever....

man i wish i could visit that era when the excorsist came out so i could watch people in the cinema. it'd be so entrertaining to us seeing as how bad the S.E seem now. imagine showing people of that era films like high tension xD

It's all relative. Some people who went to the cinema to watch The Exorcist actually walked out because they couldnt cope with either the strong use of swearing or the transformation of Regan. Nowadays, I suppose it's quite *tame* to watch what with all the horror movies and/or video games about!

And think about those *innocent* people back in the 50's watching superimposed giant ants and dinosaurs and wobbly ufo's on the big screen - hiding behind their hands or screaming!! Love it!! :D

I have never seen The Shining all the way through in one sitting because it bores me to death and I do not find it scarey at all, the book would probably be better to read. Still a good movie.

Evil Dead did scare me when I first saw it as a child.

The Exorcist took me a few times to see the whole thing as well cause I kept falling asleep out of boredom and then I just thought it was funny.

Psycho is ok not very scarey to me.

TCM is very creepy to me not really scarey, it is because a lot of it is based on Ed Gein. Creepy!!

Rosemary's Baby, Halloween and Jaws not scarey for me.

Always loved all of The NIghtmare on Elm streets, did not scare me though. I have a poster of freddy above my bed for years as a child LOL.

Never seen Suspiria.

SO the movies I think are scarey I guess, though no movie ever really scares me would be Silence of the Lambs, Saw, TCM, Seven and things like that because there are some real psychos out there and those things could really happen. Also agree with The Day after tomorrow and armeggedon stuff too.

To put it short. The list is boring.

things are heating up round here. anyway, the modern horror movie that scared me was BWP and the oldie that i watched recently that gave a chill or two was the haunting (orig). in the j-horror sub genre you have to go with ju on and reincarnation. for gore, anyone who saw my posts about AUM will know my views on that despicable piece of excrement.:)

Really scary shit

[Angelakillsluts]

#1 The Eye
The Eye has some scenes that give me serious goosebumps, elevator scene is the scariest scene I've ever witnessed. I don't find the grudge scary at all now, just bad.... this movie still gets me. It kills me to put The Grudge on any list that could be seen as "good" but first time viewing I can deny the effect it had on me.

#2 The Sentinel
The Sentinel has a bunch of scary parts in it, there is one moment which scared me the most though and it's where the police are discussing the events leading up the murder with Alison's boyfriend. Don't want to give it away obviously, you'll have to watch. :p

#3 The Shining
The Shining doesn't need an explanation for why I found it scary..

#4 Nosferatu
Nosferatu is the first movie that really got under my skin and into my nightmares... for weeks. :(

#5 One Missed Call
Has probably the most disturbing scene in a horror movie EVER!

#6 Jaws
I used to not want to swim in the deep end of my grandmothers pool because of this movie. My uncle is a horrible person for letting me watch it when I was young.

#7 Black Christmas
The voice of the killer when he made calls in Black Christmas makes it seventh on my list.

#8 Event Horizon
Event Horizon is disturbing as hell. The visions of hell and the screams of the old crew were chilling.

#9 Let's Scare Jessica to Death
Lemora is a movie that is creepy and weird above all which made it scary when I saw it, it's in the same boat as Lemora: A Child's Tale of the Supernatural. Some people find it scary , some people find it weird.

#10 Alien
Alien is just full of seriously tense moments


edit: changed order

[Doc Faustus]

The Sentinel is really scary at parts. I think it trumps Rosemary's Baby.

Was Rosemary's baby scary?

Hmm...

[Posher778]

I disagree, but that's an interesting list.

[Angelakillsluts]

thinking about removing The Grudge. Not only is it one of the worst movies I've ever seen, but I'm thinking being 100% cheap "jumpy" scares should maybe disqualify it.

[The STE]

In no particular order:

Requiem for a Dream
The Trial
Jesus Camp
Paradise Lost: The Child Murders at Robin Hood Hills
An Inconvenient Truth
Dawn of the Dead (70's)
Thirteen
Kaïro
Kids
Spoorloos

10. Eraserhead - Wierd, uncomfortable film to watch. While not overtly scary, its imagery stays with you.

9. 'Salem's Lot - The vampire kid floating outside the kid's window scared the hell out of me. The film version of Barlow has to be the ugliest film vampire to this day, and the sound he makes as he is being staked is unforgettable.

8. Hellraiser - Barker's themes of sexuality and torture, especially in this film (which he himself adapted from the novella), shock me to this day.

7. The Hills Have Eyes - I would hate to find myself in the utterly hopeless, violent situation the characters in this film face.

6. The Fly - Likely one of the most disturbing movies to come out of the 80's (I realize its a remake, the older film is freaky too), its themes work on many deep, primal levels.

5. Jaws - I love this movie, but hated it as a child. However, it is one of the first films to truly scare me. I remember avoiding going out past 3 ft. at the beach because of this movie.

4. Event Horizon - Sort of like a Clive Barker story on an abandoned spaceship, and not sucky like "Hellraiser: Bloodline". I expected straight-up scifi when I first saw this, but was pleasantly surprised. Although it's not the most popular film, it had me thinking for days after I saw it.

3. Night of the Creeps - Why is this on here? Because it's damn freaky. Yes, it may be a cheap 80's cinema take on a zombie film, but it combines 2 things I love to see in horror flicks: zombies getting their heads blown off and aliens that infect people.

2. Cabin Fever - This one is tough to watch. It takes the Cronenberg-ian theme of fear of infection, adds paranoia and a sense of entrapment in there with a lot of violence, making for damn good horror. (Plus Shawn from "Boy Meets World" is in it, he's my hero)

1. Alien - I've seen this movie like 50 times, so it's not scary anymore, but I still feel it is the scariest movie ever made. I love the pace of this movie. Some complain that it's boring, but the slow pace in getting to the planet, to get the ball rolling greatly adds to the ominous feeling throughout. Very good acting, sets, music, sound effect, everything.

EDIT: Damn it! I forgot "The Descent". Not sure where it fits in, but thats a great one too. Very hopeless/disturbing. Plus, there is no "happy" ending, which is nice to see from time to time.

[colubrid660]

Was Rosemary's baby scary?

Hmm...

I didn't think so. It was a good movie, but I wouldn't exactly call it scary.

[Castlewood]

Event Horizon is the scariest I've seen.

[glm]

10. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre
9. Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers
8. The Exorcist III
7. The Fog
6. Suspiria
5. In the Mouth of Madness
4. Halloween
3. The Exorcist
2. The Evil Dead
1. It

[Staplez]

Id have to say Night of the living dead was the scariest movie Ive ever seen.

[scarecrow666]

Not sure if it got mentioned, but the creepiest/scariest has got to be the Japanese Ju on The Grudge 1/2. - It totally beats anything else mentioned.
