Is there a more frightening movie than The Shining??
 

I watched this movie last night after many years since i last saw it and I believe that it has more scary scenes than any other movie. It just doesnt let up. There is no break. With all the spooky imageries, crazy jack, spooky kids, the isolation and awesome scary music, I dont think I've seen a scarier movie.

I don't think there is, maybe the Exorcist but it doesn't have the consistence that the Shining has. Best horror movie ever IMO.

I thought that Rose Red was quite a damn scary movie, although the Shining was up there with it. Just that scary old maid freaked the shit out of me!:eek:

The Shining was up there with it, with the it in that sentence being Rose Red?

''to each his own'' I guess.

I never seen Rose Red... kinda dismissed it because it was for television. I'll check it out in the future.

If u r gonna watch it definetly don't watch the TV version!! Rent it. I promise you won't be dissappointed!;)

I thought Rose Red was entertaining, and it was a great spin on the noprmal haunted house theme, but i think The Shining is much more creepy and overtly scary.

the shining was terrifing. The scene with Jack chasing the kid in the hedge maze. .. . . . . uuuuuuuuuuughgghghgh. that scared the shit out of me.

Selly Duval running around thebuilding was the scariest part for me. She wasnt going crazy, and the ghosts decided to show themselves off to her in full force.

The pig/dog suit and the butler with the cut on his face is probably one of the weirdest, most disturbing things i have seen in a movie.

i was just creeped out when i saw the mother and child go into that maze (remember the overhead view)... I've been through one of those mazes.... I can only imagine getting lost in em and freezing.

"The Shining" and "the Changeling" were the best ghost movies until "Ringu"...and the new asian ghost wave started...:cool:

.

We park our cars in the same garage.

When the quivvering Wendy reaches the top of the stairs, the look of utter, silent terror on her face when that high-speed zoom reveals: what, some ghosts in childish fancy dress committing a sex act in one of the rooms of this empty hotel? together with the jolting effects in the soundtrack at this point is one of the most chilling scenes ever.

The ghosts stop what they are doing, and look at her... Wendy's realisation that this hotel is haunted is still as devastating as ever.

yes
 

master p's "im bout it" is quite scary.

Come again?

wow. I've never seen this many people on HDC agree on a movie being scary.

I had a thing for Stephen King books and movies when I was a youg'n. Pet Sematary (the movie) scared the living hell out of me back then. It doesnt scare me anymore, its more sad and depressing now.

The Shining is different. It scared me the first time I saw it, and even now when I am obsessed with horror movies and watch them constantly, I cant sit through the whole thing without hyperventilating and running out of my room for a break.

Not the best movie of all time, but definetly the scariest.

Ringu!!!! WHOOOOO!!!

Go asian persuasion!!!! I wish I was asian.....

[Tape of his phone call to the police] Oh my God! Oh my God! My twin brother has been shot! I think it was an Asian gang or something... There was this guy, he looked Asian... and he was speaking another language, I'm pretty sure it was... Asian.

hahaha

nice...:D

i dont remember much from the shinning, but when i saw it, i was freaked out, it is one of the best horror movies

Even though I swear loyalty to the underrated Stephen King remake of The Shining, it is quite frankly a great movie. The music in it is the best part. Especially that one,it's hard to describe but to me it sounded like ice breaking and it's used a lot.I think it plays while Wendy tries to escape through the window.Both movies are excellent and if you don't have a deep commitment to the original, go out and try to find the remake.

the acting in the original was great, jack plays a good crazy, but the remake was more true to the book. anyways, I want to add my opinion to the mix, the haunting of hill house was THE scariest movie ever

Are you referring to "The Haunting" or "House on Haunted Hill"??

first one, isn't it called hte haunting of hill house, there is also the haunting of hell house oh wait thats a book, yeah, the haunting its black and white and there are really no visual effects it just kind of sikes you out the whole way through.

Strange...when I looked at your avatar .......:D

I'm sorry but that movie just completely blew dogs for quarters.

I didnt much care for it either. Comparing a made for tv movie to a kubrik movie just doesnt quit gel.

Thats like comapring China Beach to Full Metal Jacket

"Well, they're both about vietnam..."

or Tales from the Crypt tv movies to the films.

I've got a better one.

comparing the tv made Shining to Kubricks Shining is like comparing Stargate to Star Wars.

If you mean the tv show stargate, then i am 100% with you.

And the music when the camera zooms in to reveal them is disturbing as well(As it is in most of the movie)...The Shining is definately the scariest I have ever seen....and I've seen a lot of horror movies.

Yes there is and its one that no one probably mentioned....The Entity. Its based on a true story and scary enough to paralyze someone.:D

They should probably recall it then before someone gets hurt.

Cornhole Strikes Again!!!
 

Hey cornhole im gonna piss on the university of iowa! What do you do follow around every post I put? :p Oh boy I got a girlfriend! Go hawkeyes! Looks like you got nothing better to do since you joined 2 months ago and have ALMOST SIX HUNDRED AND FIFTY POSTS ALREADY!!!! JESUS CHRIST WOMAN GET A LIFE!!!! Oh and take your parents and the hawkeyes too! Hey im from New York...Go Yankees!!!:p

I have never found anything particularly scary about The Shinning, I don’t even think it’s a very good film, the performances are great, but the film itself is very overrated IMO.

the picture at the end just confused me

I loved the Shining, it had a more psychological scariness to it.

yuo got to take the good from both movies. If you love the movie more then its all about kubrik but if you love the book then the made for tv was closer to the works of stephen king. was the shining the only stephen king movie where he didn't have a cameo?

he was Gage Creed in the Shining.

No. You have to realize The Shining, made for TV , was just absolute garbage. I read the book, saw the Kubrick movie..and loved them both. Sadly, when Mr. King sets about trying to prove himself as a screenwriter or director....he just sucks gonads. The made for TV Shining is so inferior to Kubricks, I can't see how anyone who considers themselves a horror fan can even stomach watching it.

I think he's an ok screenwriter.
