recommend a genuine movie that will scare the **** out of me please!!
 

I love to be genuinely spooked! I just watched Blair witch 1 again. I thought it was good. Why is it good? Its because its genuinely "spooky" I've seen all the classics i think, Jason, freddy, Micheal, leatherface, pinhead, norman bates etc...
I enjoyed them all but it wasn't enough (with exception maybe to Norman"

Can someone recommend a good movie that will scare the jesus out of me during and afterwards? Since i've seen lots I'm kinda assuming its going to be a B grade movie. Not vampire, demons or zombies please.

The Gate

A mixed bag (no remakes):-

Don't Go To Sleep (TV)
Let's Scare Jessica To Death
The Haunting
The Changeling
Dead Birds
Salem's Lot
The Fog
Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956/1978)
Dark Water (Jap)
Trilogy of Terror (TV)
The Amityville Horror
Magic

Some of these are based around the creatures you wanted to avoid, however.

Dude, I've been searching for that movie forever. I found it once on VHS, but I don't have a VCR (haven't had one for years, EC is probably going to scream) and now I hate myself for not buying it anyway. It's not on DVD at all as far as I can tell. Is it worth forking over the money for a VCR just to see it?

Sorry to hijack your thread, fiend. I'll recommend to you the same movie I do everyone who wants a good scare: Exorcist III: Legion. Beware, it's very dialogue driven.

This one is kind of about Demons, but not in the sense of you know that going into the movie. By far the scariest movie I've seen though. Give it a try, you 99% out of 100% won't be dissapointed. I'm not easily scared....and so far, out of maybe 100 or more movies, this was the one of two that creeped me out. The other movie being 'DEAD END'. Also give it a try.

The Changeling
The Haunting
Lemora
Night of the Living Dead
Shaun of the Dead

:confused: How is that scary?

There's some vampires and zombies in there but HEY, whattayagonnado.

I think the proper term for that wouldn't be scary, just extremely unsettlingly creepy in a bad kind of way.

Yeah....no...sort of...I always thought it was scary!

28 Days Later,even though I thought it was funny.





Edited for stupidity.

Session 9 scares me enough to keep the lights on every single time I watch it.

Of course fiendclub has already watched "Blair Witch Project" multiple times. But that movie disturbed me so much that I never watched it again. I didn't want to spoil that first experience!

Picnic at Hanging Rock - - won't startle-scare you - but will creep around with you for days afterwards.

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre - both the original AND the remake (I liked them both...)

The Grudge [ any version]

The Eye

allready mentioned Changeling,Exorcist 3

Oh yeah and Pumpkinhead,only thing to ever scare the hell out of me.

Maybe if I would have seen it in theaters, I would have been more receptive to the scares. The end is creepy, but the rest of it is so boring.

It made me so sick in the theaters. I had to leave twice to dry heave because of the camera being so shaky, but other then that I enjoyed it.

well the real fear should be generated by the new movie An Inconvenient Truth - because if even 10% of that movie is correct the human race is very close to SUV-ing its ass out of existence. . . if you haven't seen it you all should!

Let's Scare Jessica To Death is a vampire movie essentially, but a very subtle one and with a legendary creepy atmosphere. There are several specifically eerie scenes (including in a lake), but the film is also one of paranoid ambiguity. Despite that I found it just a little underwhelming, I have to recommend it as it remains streets ahead of many modern attempts at 'scary' horror movies.

Agree on Exorcist 3 and Session 9 (although, having seen the latter twice, I am still not fully grasping the revelations that are packed into the final ten minutes - perhaps this adds to its appeal).

The Brood, it has evil munchcins , pure evil, Angel Heart, it is evil aswell........

never watching that. id live the rest of my life worrying.

I saw it in theaters and on dvd... maybe I'll give it another chance but I really didn't like it. After thinking about it for a while I figure it's probably because I've been around woods my whole life and went camping a countless number of times. Maybe that's not why, like I said now that it's years later I may like it.

I don't really understand the ending either. All I know is that the scene when the kid is running down the little tunnel and the lights are turning off one by one, I can physically feel how scared he is. Maybe I should go watch it and pay attention to the ending...

but all this Blair Witch talk makes me want to watch it too. I'll just stay up all night and watch both.

watch the original Caroll Cane version of When a Stranger Calls and Takashi Miikes Audition trust me thell get the job done.

The Last Horror Movie

(only if you watch it alone)

Audition is next in my netflix queue. I'm so excited to see it!

extreme newbest here,, just been browsin round all the threads no replys till now,,took advice of renting this movie..just thought id say tanks

:)

Event Horizon scared me a lot when I first saw it. And it doesn't include any of those creatures you mentioned.

Phantasm and Phantasm II, both very different films but both, I would say, pretty scary, especially for first-time viewers who know nothing about what they're going to see.

The first film gets points for being scary and also very quirky/funny. Both films get points for being weird as well.

Horror of Dracula?

The Exorcist still does it for me. Disturbing as hell.



To whoever was having trouble finding "Let's Scare Jessica to Death":

It is being released on DVD in the very near future. Just punch it in on Amazon and you'll see it.

A Haunting In...
 

The Discovery Channel has a tv series out now called 'A Haunting' where each episode is based on a real haunting event.

The pilot movie for this series (which is really a documentary) is called 'A Haunting In Connecticut'.

It's about this kid who needs cancer treatments so the family moves to a big house in Connecticut to be closer to the hospital.

The rent was dirt cheep for such a big place.

Construction workers are still there doing some rennovations when they move in.

Then down in the 'lab' they find a big knife and some mortuary equipment so they realize it was a funeral parlor.

I guess you can use your imagination about what people had been doing with dead bodies down in the lab. This activity opened up a portal directly into hell (similar to The Ametyville Horror which is also a true story).

Anyway things go from bad to worse until finally 'the man in the suit' starts appearing to the kid with cancer down in the lab. He eventually becomes possessed.

There have been some great episodes of this series including 'The Haunting Of Summerwind'.

This week one was on where this kid had an imaginary playmate he called 'Man'. But then man starts telling him to cut up his teddy bears, urinate in the closet, etc., because it would be 'fun'.

Normally when a demonic presence occurs in a house certain areas will turn deadly cold.

Perhaps those creatures absorb all the energy out of the area I don't know.

Still it is interesting.

I guess it's very cold in hell not hot like people think who knows. But when something is very cold it actually burns.

For me these shows are more than just 'scary'. I cannot keep recordings of these types of movies around. If I do the evil spirits start attacking me.

I had been watching The Ametyville Horror part 2 quite a bit. This is really a PREquel since it goes back to before the first movie.

The creatures started calling up and leaving these weird sounds on my answering machine. I didn't realize it at first but they were actually talking backwards.

If I had saved that tape and played it backwards I could have heard what they were saying. They were probably talking in Latin or something like that.

Maybe it's better that I didn't do this.

I can't keep certain movies around like The Evil Dead, The Ametyville Horror, or any movie that shows the pentagram symbol.

I had 'A Haunting In Connecticut' recorded on my cable box but the man the suit appeared to me. He told me:

"We have a mutual friend."

Jeff

Have you considered professional help? :D

That TV series looks interesting though.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!









I'm sorry, was that rude?

blue sunshine, a horror movie about acid. The opening sequence is lock the doors shit!

The problem is the home viewing experience is that you're in your home - you're safe.

If you really want to be scared, watch a scary movie outside. I used to do this as a kid. I'd spread a blanket on the lawn, turn out all the lights, run an extension cord out of the house and then watch NOTLD or TCM or Halloween or The Exorcist outside - where they can sneak up on you!

the nightly news scares the hell out of me. . . i usually switch over to everybody loves raymond which, while more disturbing, is far less frightening

I like the idea of watching movies outside...I have watched a couple of movies outside in various circumstances and it's been kind of fun....the best one was certainly "Creature from the Black Lagoon" projected on a portable screen in front of a pool at the local Y.M.C.A....this was in 3-D, now, and the admission was like $3.50, and there was a whole bunch of people IN THE POOL trying to watch the movie with their 3-D glasses, which were made of cardboard so their glasses all basically melted after ten minutes or so. But the effect of watching a water-themed monster movie, at night, in front of a big pool, that was priceless. CFTBL isn't the "scariest movie ever made," but it's certainly not un-scary, and it still works quite well.
