What's the scariest movie you ever saw?

[sippin0nsunshine]

It's a toss up between The Ring, 28 Days Later, The Grudge, and The Shining. All of them scared the shit out of me. Granted I'm a chicken shit and don't like scary movies. Hell I'm not even comfortable walking through a dark room by myself.

[jokersshh]

Candyman! I was young when I saw it and the music is still creepy. The whole bloody mary/mary worth thing still freaks me out when I walk by a mirror at night and I'm 30 years old..

[shangrila]

Insidious, I totally believe in these things.

[Lillian]

Yeah I just saw Insidious too, freaked me the hell out *shudder*.

[So Many Lies]

The Ring was really freaky. I blame David Dorfman, who played the son. He was one of those kids who seemed way too old for their actual age.

Oh I agree. Ive watched it, what, 4 times and I'm still creeped out. I was terrified when Naomi went to see Samara's "dad" in the house. It was so intense, so weird, so real. And so unlike any other movie I've seen.

The atmosphere was so damn supernatural throughout.

Well, I haven't seen it but The Devil Inside commercials on tv make me go for the remote to change the channel..either that or I cover my ears or eyes. Stuff like exorcisms and demonic possessions freak me out!!

I can't wait to see that, hopefully this weekend!

Jesus Camp.

Seconded.

I just saw an independent horror film on Netflix called "The Shrine". Three journalists from the US go to Poland to find a missing backpacker. I couldn't get over how many of the reviews complained that the Polish, spoken by the villagers around the Americans, wasn't subtitled. That was deliberate. It's pretty clever.

Don't - it is weaksauce!!! All the scary parts are in the trailer pretty much.

[simplysweet]

IT. Now I'm terrified of clowns.

THIS^

[prairiemuffin]

Haven't seen it yet (obviously), but I'm cautiously optimistic about "The Woman in Black". I saw the play last fall and it was delightfully creepy.

I loves me a good ghost story.

[Terrie]

I was shocked to realize no on had mentioned Pan's Labyrinth yet. The Pale Man was one of the freakiest things I have EVER seen.

[Deleted07]

I'm terrible with scary movies! Even the lamest ones totally freak me out!

So like Blair Witch, The Ring, Scream, The Sixth Sense... They are pretty much the only ones I have seen because I just cannot bare to watch them! *wimp*

[luckylibrarian]

I hate torture porn movies, and I refuse to watch the Human Centipede. Too scary and gross.

The old Wes Craven movie The People Under the Stairs scared the hell out of me. Hotel Hell (about cannibals) also terrified me.

ETA: It's Motel Hell, not Hotel Hell.

[pastaswife]

Misery. I'm immune to scary movies, but Misery scares me like crazy, and I only saw it recently for the first time

[Three and Done]

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE scary movies!

When I was quite young, I saw the Exorcist and it scared the crap out of me. As a teenager, the first Nightmare on Elm Street freaked me out (a man that killed you in your sleep! :shock: ). Now that I am older, there aren't too many movies that actually scare me, but I still do love them.

With regard to The Ring - I watched that with my oldest DD and my exbf years ago. She and I liked it, but he was terrified! He even thought he "saw something" in our backyard! Hilarious!

I really enjoy zombie movies, and highly recommend Zombieland. It isn't your "typical" zombie movie, as there is a lot of humor (albeit black humor) in it.

The Hills Have Eyes was scary, but the rape scene was very difficult for me. I found it quite upsetting. The movie would have been better without it.

omg candyman was scary as shit, too.

i don't know why, but the shining didn't SCARE me. maybe by the time i actually saw it, it was already a classic, so i'd seen photos and clips of the twins, the bathtub scene, 'jack's back'. i thought it was an EXCELLENT movie, but it lost some of its impact.

[contrary]

glory BE! after several mentions of The Human Centipede, i went and looked it up, and...well...oh lord. that's just...well, huh.

Another vote for Jesus Camp here.

[fundyfunland]

THE RING!! I didn`t get to sleep until later the next afternoon. Also, the day after I watched it, I was walking down the street, and some random guy looked at me and whispered ``six days.`` Needless to say, I didn`t get much sleep that night either, and this was long after the movie had left the theatres.

[Whydoyouask]

Children of the Corn. I think it was on TV (or we rented it) when I was 12 or so....I don't know why I just didn't change the channel.

LMAO! Totally forgot about that one! Scary indeed.

When I was a kid, the sewer scene from Indian Jones and the Lost Crusade -- with all the rats -- freaked me out. To this day, Animal Planet shows that talk about swarms -- huge masses of mice or locusts overrunning everything -- give me the heebie-jeebies.

[Arete]

I am going to state I am a wuss and get that out of the way from the beginning. To this day, the scariest thing I have seen on TV/theartre is not actually a movie (as I usually chicken out when the going starts getting tough in horror movies), but a CARTOON. For those who watched the original "Super Friends" cartoons in the late 60s and 70s, the one where Superman and Wonderwoman have to put "Gentleman Jim" back in the grave scares the bejesus out of me. Saw it as a kid and now well into adulthood I can't even watch it on youtube if I am alone. :shhh:

Go ahead, laugh.
