You know what...the scariest movie for me isn't even scary to me anymore, but I stand by it 100%, despite all of the horror movies I have seen:
Event Horizon.
When I was 19, I worked in a movie theater in downtown Seattle. Often the booth guy would spool up movies the night before and run preview showings for employees and being that I had no class the next day, I said sure why not. First of all, I have to back up a little bit and say that up until the age of 18, I lived in the midwest (South Dakota and Kansas) so moving to Seattle and living downtown was a major thing for me. HUGE culture shock. Well staying at work to watch a movie that started at 1am, ended at about 3am and then walking home in the middle of the night in downtown seattle was already pretty scary.....but something about this movie just hit me to the core when it came out.
I sat in that huge theater, all by myself (except the booth guy who was upstairs) and then when it was over I left the abandoned multiplex thinking about all the corridor scares with the "ghost wife" in the movie scared out of my mind that I had to walk a mile and a half home.
I seriously ran my ass off and was home in about 5 minutes.
Awesome memory...and even though that movie doesn't actually scare me now, it's still one of my favorites. Sam Neill is the SHIT!
