Movies that live up to the word 'scary'

[Leland_malinski]

the ring, the shining, candyman..

and i hate to admit it.. but when I was young I watched Shocker... for like the first 40 mins.. and then my mom made me go to bed.. so i didnt get to see the whole thing.. and I had this ancient console television that would glow for about 20 minutes after you turned it off... Since Shocker could come through anything with electricity.. i was pretty fucking freaked out..

The Ju-On/Grudge series, definitely...scores a very close 2nd to the original Evil Dead.

i havent jumped at a show for decades - so my hat's off to that flick.

Me too. I was living alone at the time and wound up staying up until 4 in the morning in horror... The only thing that put me at ease is that I convinced myself If there was a ghost in this apartment, it would have gotten me already...

Funny the equally irrational logic you use when you're scared for no good reason.

Not irrational. I was in the apt.

AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH

Seriously, though. I used to have nightmares about Michael Myers.

Halloween scared the HELL out of me the first time I saw it (and I was a sophomore in college :o ).

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 ..

Candyman definitely scared me a lot, but that's mostly because I have the most intense phobia of bees. Other than that, I usually have to have the right atmosphere going for movies to scare me. I have to be alone in the apartment late at night, and old creaky noises are helpful.
