valerie Inshan Posted September 11, 2011 Author Share Posted September 11, 2011 Oh Void! Watching at this trailer still makes jump. I remember I went to see this movie alone when it was just released in France. At some point, I got so scared I unconsciouly grabed my neighour's arm and made him jump and scream in fear and surprise, lol, he was a perfect stranger along with his wife, and I think most of the persons in the cinema started to scream too at that time!

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. Angel. That movie is one of my favorites of all times too! The pounding sounding loud at night in the hallway is probably one the scariest "non special" effect ever! Such a brilliant idea! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

valerie Inshan Posted September 12, 2011 Author Share Posted September 12, 2011 JoJo, believe it or not, this video you posted woke me up last night! The last minute really freaked me out!!! I must confess I turned the lights on for a good moment before being able to get back to sleep, lol. :smileyvery-happy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelli May Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Don't laugh, but The Blob absolutely terrified me. I was only about 7 when I saw it, so maybe that's alright. I just realised what a fabulous trailer it had. Since then I've grown pretty hard to scare. I found Alien tense and a little squicky (at 11), but I can't say it scared me. Other films have been shocking or unsettling, maybe even upsetting, but not scared or even particularly excited. Jacob's Ladder fascinated me, and I thought it was wonderfully creepy and disquieting. It's probably as close to scared as I've been since The Blob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoJo Moeleneaux Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Ooops, sorry Valerie. I should have added a disclaimer "Don't watch the last few minutes, scary woman with big teeth and a big knife and she's gonna get ya". :matte-motes-agape: Block it out of your mind and never think of it again!

Angel: I would have found it Frightening had i Not seen it first in "Nosferatu" 1922 Portrayed by Max Schreck Salems Lot was for me Just a colour version If you liked "The Haunting, you will also like "The Innocents" Fox 1961 Starring Deborah Kerr It's a Brilliant retelling of the classic gothic tale "A Turn of the Screw" Again, with exceptional cinematography, and intense performances it builds to a Peak of True horror. I usually place as an extremely close second to "The Haunting" because in this case, you ARE shown the ghosts. Again, see it alone, with the lights Out, and have plenty of Popcorn on hand. I could Go on about this all Day, I just LOVE my Horror Movies. Angel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ariel Vuissent Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Strangely? Hocus Pocus. I know it's a comedy, but that first 5-10 minutes completely freaked me out. I still can't watch it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoJo Moeleneaux Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 A more recent one that scared the hell out of me, The Ring. I like the Japanese version better but I couldn't find a decent clip for it, so here's the American version. Valerie, don't watch the ending, it will come to life if you do :smileywink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valerie Inshan Posted September 13, 2011 Author Share Posted September 13, 2011 Oh yes Irene, the Stanley Kubrick's movie was really scary but I think Stephen King's original book freaked me out even more! It was the first (and only time) reading a book frightened me so much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dillon Levenque Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 I couldn't remember the name of this movie and I've been hunting for it ever since I saw this thread. I only rented it because it uh, featured sorority girls and I was like, doing a study on stuff like that. Really. But it turned out to be a really good movie. A great cast, a lot of humor, and while there wasn't much gore, it was scary as hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
