there were some that really sent chills up my spine more than anything..they were about some serial killer dentist..

the worst part i remember..because it is the only part i could stand to watch.. when he had this woman duct taped into a dentist chair and he just started to snap her teeth off..starting with the fronts..

 

Blluuuuhg still gives me chills thinking about that..

I haven't seen a movie that scared me since I was a pre teen (RL is much scarier), a few that shocked or surprised, but none that actually scared.... The movie that scared me pantless back then wouldn't even raise the hair on the back of most peoples neck now, since it's been done, and redone, and overdone since then.... but try to imagine watching this without knowing about it and all the saturation of the modern era when it was still a completely new thing.....

This traumatized me as a child. Trilogy of Terror (Part 2) the one with the little African tribal doll that comes to life a terrorizes Karen Black. The doll is lame, it was more the noises it made, the sounds of it running around after that scared me. I had to run and jump into bed for years after watching it just in case something was under the bed LOL. But the ending, I couldn't even bring myself to watch it when I was looking for the clip to post here :smileysurprised:

Oooo, a Subject i can REALLY get in to. :)

I have a DVD Collection that frightens people for all of it's size. I have almost every Horror Movie made between 1929 and 1979, So,, yes I Know the subject well (Well enough to be writing a book on it).

I would have to say IMO, the #1 all time Scariest movie ever made was "The Haunting" MGM, 1963, Starring Julie Harris, Claire Bloom, Richard Johnson, and Russ Tamblyn.

This is a Movie that Builds and Sustains a Hightened sense of Suspense and Horror and throws in some Genuine Frights All with minimal effects. It's all done with Lighting, Camera Angles, Incidental Music, and genuine performances. They never Once show you a Ghost, There is no raw meat being thrust in your face, The TRUE Horror of the piece is the uncertainty that is never given a pat, simple answer.

Watch it alone with the Lights out, and i Promise you, You won't sleep that night. :)

For me, you can keep your slashers, and Guts, and spraying blood. If you can get the Same or greater level of Horror without having to Gross yourself out, You've found True Horror.

That's the one! First scary movie re-run I ever saw. To this day we still talk about this movie. That is the first time I have seen any footage of it since I was 5 or 6 maybe? I was quite hesitant to watch it. Wow it is sooo lame now. But so utterly terrifying then.

Modern classic is any Saw movie. The suspense is just electrifying. I have the first 3 I think.

When i was eight I went to a sleepover at a friends house. my friends older brother who was watching us at the time decided it would be an excellent idea to show us a film called faces of death. it wasnt so much a movie, more of a snuff film, no real plot to it just senseless violence and murder. i couldnt get the images out of my head of months ! it showed animals and people actually getting slaughtered, mixed in with some really graphic fictional scenes.

 I had nightmares for months after that. i just couldnt get those scenes out of my head. especially the one of the bunnies in the slaughter house :(

Wasn't allowed to see scary movies as a child, and didn't like them so didn't choose to watch any (not any serious ones - psychological terror didn't really "scare" me, and I found most slasher movies silly), as a grownup either. But, did see Night of the Living Dead in college (on campus), with some people for Halloween, and that scene where they are all nomming on the fresh roasted corpses from the car crash.

 

EEK!

Can't see Sookie falling for that guy.

I have to admit sometimes watching those 'reality shows' where people tell a ghost story from their own lives will make me wake up and turn the light on at night. 

With movies it's very hard for me to turn off the critical brain. I'm watching the pieces that make it rather than the whole, usually...I did find Viggo Mortenson's portrayal of Lucifer in The Prophecy creepy as er, heck, though. He nailed exactly what I think the real one would be like.

Although I confess I'm a fan of the True Blood series on HBO. What I liked and what freaked me out about Barlow the vampire from Salem's Lot was he was a throw back from the nosferatu type vampire. He wasn't pretty, he didn't sparkle when sunlight hit him, he was cold and evil. He was a monster the way vampires where intended to be portrayed in movies.

the first horror movie I've ever seen was Nightmare on Elm Street Part 3, I remember being over at a cousin's house, I was about 9 and we watched it on HBO and ate a big cheese pizza (to this day I gotta watch that movie and eat a cheese pizza every october)

 

 

that said I am NOT a fan of modern torture porn movies like Saw
