see i never found the origional Evil Dead scary.

i loved it - thought it was brilliant, groundbreaking ..out of control,

but i always saw it as a comedy horror rather than a scary horror ..

ditto, however there were a couple of great startle scenes.

Pathetically, the American Grudge has pretty much scarred me since I saw it in the cinema FOUR YEARS AGO.

My friends like to put black wigs on and pretend to be the lady. It's so strange - I know it's not real, AND the film was pretty bad, but I actually cannot handle it when they do this to me. I have some great friends (I also see the funny side, even though I can't explain the random terror).

Can't believe a BUFFY movie fecked me up.

Better yet, the other one was Darkness Falls. Similarly crap, and it had ANYA in it.

Clearly I have some Buffy issues.

Darkness Falls? you must scare really easily.

No, I don't. That's why it's so bizarre. And I wasn't actually afraid during either film. It was afterwards when my imagination started going.

dude, you SERIOUSLY found nightmare on elm street at least a tiny bit scary?? i laughed my frikkin way through that film..

evil dead (the first one) was quite scary for me when i was alot younger (say about 6-7) and i had to turn it off when the woman was trying to come up from the cellar..i watched it again when i was about 16 and was like "WTF that wasn't even scary" lol...

Scary for me would be The Ring (remake), The pulse, Dawn of the dead (remake) The Thing, Leviathan and Event Horizon. I don't get that scared by horror films these days. I believe this is because of my age, and how i understand what is going on. Also it is because i find alot of horror films these days are weak.

I guess Evil Dead is one of those special movies that has a different effect on different people. Some people will find it to be the most terrifying movie ever, then again, some others will probably find it absolutely hilarious.

Man that part in Event Horizon when hes in the hallway or whatever and the light kept flashing off and on and then (was it his wife?) I havent seen the whole thing but I remember seeing that part.

TCM: When leather face opens the door and knocks the dude on the head with the hammer.

TCM 2: When The girl Stretch meets choptop and then Leatherface busts out of the Record Vault. I love Choptop awesome character.

Those were some "jump" moments. Stuff that really freaks me out are stuff like the Grudge were you see the ghost slowly coming up the stairs, or anything that is gliding after you. Also, like per say Jeepers Creepers is the only thing that comes to mind, when you see something off behind you and it slowly is making a gain on you when he was in his truck.

Let's Scare Jessica to Death (1971) scared me when I was little. It was on TV and I only remember a few scenes, but it was creepy.

When I was 16, I watched Friday the 13th: IV: The Final Chapter in the theater with my cousin. That movie scared me! I was afraid something was gonna jump out and get me when we walked out to the car. I'm glad I wasn't alone.

Most movies just make me hold my breath or jump. There was a scene in a TV movie or video I watched where someone sticks his/her hand near a paper shredder and it goes in and gets shredded. I think it was called The Temp starring Laura Flyne Boyle (sp?). I have a major fear of sharp machinery like those industrial slicers in restaurants. Losing a limb or a digit or two would be horrible! Oh, that reminds me of an Elvira episode about a man getting sliced and a scene in The Night Gallery episode having something to do with someone and a grave. Creepy!

Another movie called The Mangler scared me. The machinery is the reason. I don't want to give it away in case you haven't seen it.
