Scariest movies
 
I'm looking for some of the scariest movies ever made. When I google this movies such Halloween, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Psycho, Nightmare On Elm Street, etc. I don't find these movies in any way scary. I can understand years ago when they first were released but now-a-days not at all. I'm looking for movies like Ju-On. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

To be honest, I've never been scared by a "scary movie"... I really couldn't tell you....

I could tell you though that if you asked my mother, she'd say The Exorcist.... although I laughed through that movie...

I really got nothing for you... I just enjoy the screaming... *grin*

If she would have said Exorcist III, she'd have a case. Also, try Session 9.

Hi to be scared in a movie you really have to loose yourself in the plot i know when i take it seriously or watch with friends i have 2 different reactions to a movie.

Movies for me that were quite scary were superstition , amityville , house by the cemetery.

Of course if you dont try to beleive in the movie and think its just one big joke you wont be scared .

Angra 01-14-2009 12:24 AM

I always recommend "Ju-on" and "Salems Lot". So.... there ya go.

Shady 01-14-2009 08:19 AM

The only movies that scare me are movies that are possible and can easily happen. I want a good movie about a haunted house or ghosts to be released. Those are the type of movies that freak me out mainly because I saw one as a kid back when I lived with my mom. Nothing would make me happier than if I could write the script for a horror movie about a haunted house. I have some great ideas and I think I could make one hell of a scary movie.

fortunato 01-14-2009 09:51 AM

David Lynch's Inland Empire.

Dante'sInferno 01-14-2009 10:13 AM

American Psycho, that movie is hilarious!




No wait....., you said scary right? I'll have to get back to you on that one.

I agree, "House By The Cemetary" was quite chilling. And I am going to get joked on for these two, but I also found "House of 1000 Corpses quite freaky, especially at the end. I also found "White Noise 2" to be quite scary, though scary in a 'jumpy' sort of way. "Pet Sematary" was great, and so was the original "Night Of The Living Dead" (in black & white I must add......it just gives the whole movie an eerie vibe.)

SodaGirl 01-15-2009 12:07 AM

Pet Sematary is the only movie that truly disturbs me. I pretty much won't even watch it anymore.

Messengers was horrible. Friday the 13th was alright at best, highly overrated films. Jaws was a boring ass movie. Good for one watch but after that it really boring.

sfear 01-16-2009 10:11 AM

Robert Wise's THE HAUNTING is still the scariest film I've yet to see.

VampiricClown 01-16-2009 12:49 PM

As I always say....

Dead Birds

Rodus 01-17-2009 03:17 AM

I first saw Childs Play when I was 10, scared the life out of me.

cryptkeeper666 01-26-2009 04:39 AM

A Nightmare on Elm Street
Children of the Corn IV: The Gathering
Final Destination
Hell Night
Scream

these flicks scare me pretty good enough.
and never get to tire of watching them ether.
and much much other faves as well.

fuglystick 01-26-2009 09:59 AM

Carrie was the first film that scared the bejesuz out of me. But I was young then, so it doesn't have the same fright factor as it once did. Still an awesome film in my book though.

creepycrawler23 01-26-2009 12:02 PM

You didn't think that the Texas Chainsaw Massacre was scary??? dang. Have you seen Stephen King's "It"?

Halfpastundead 01-29-2009 11:34 AM

I'm gonna have to go with Blair Witch. That movie is terrifying if you let it take you in. I also don't really get scared by that many movies. The things that scare me are Chris Cunningham videos, check out "Rubber Johnny" and his Aphex Twin video for "Come to Daddy". Those are really creepy, that guy should be doing movies.

Yes, I saw "It". That movie definately creeped me out. Creeped me out as a kid and the clown still gets to me now.

ferretchucker 01-31-2009 12:56 AM

It is pretty scary. I thought the original TCM was aswell.

On the subject of Stephen King, I think Misery can be pretty scary at times, just how possible it is.

Shutter (Original Thai Horror)
Alone (Thai Horror)
Ju-on

There's not many that have truly scared me. Though, a few have gotten a good ways under my skin.

If you want to get scared or feel the closest to being scared as possible, I highly recommend these:
1. Wait Until Dark may take a while to get to the "scary" parts, but the whole ending itself of the film is pretty damn terrifying. Beware of the Alan Arkin "jump across the screen" scene.;)
2. The Picture of Dorian Gray
3. Deliverance
4. The Shining
5. The Exorcist

I'm sure you've seen or at least heard about the last two though.

For a more modern horror film, I'd recommend The Mist for the harrowing aura it contains.
