There was a kid's movie that scarred me for life. In it, someone tried to make a cheeseless cheese, but it turned into mold and exploded, and everyone who touched it turned into mold. Poeple would turn into mold-monsters, basically looking like sludge.
It was an animated movie, I think with cartoon animals. But I can't recall what it was called.
I became really paranoid about touching anything moldy for years, and for some reason got the idea that library books might have it...

The only horror movies that I ever see are those "here! a scary face accompanied with a loud sound! - haha, you jumped didn't you?" movies, and I hate those.
Any recommendations for movies with a scary athmosphere, which don't rely on cheap jump scares?

The only movie to make me lose sleep was "Mars Attacks."
It's a stupid comedy, in which aliens invade earth, kill people with rayguns turning them into pink and green skeletons, and are defeated by country music.
It shouldn't scare anyone.
Still, it terrifies me. I can't explain it.
Well, the ring gave me a fobia of tv's and black windows, but still...
Rayguns. My god.

The scariest movie I've seen was probably Silence of the Lambs. I liked it because it's more creepy than overtly frightening.
If we include shows as well as normal films Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni. It's a very creepy show.
Particularly the part where he wears the policemans face to escape the police

The part where Shion comes out from the under the hospital bed keeps me up some nights, and the needle in his food is extraordinarily creepy. The only thing I disliked was having everything explained in Kai. For some parts it makes it creepier, but in others the mystery holds more fright than the explanation.
In the Mouth of Madness...scared the ever living 10 year old shit out of me and the movie still scares me 15 years later....
The first Jeepers Creepers.
The thought that if something existed like that alone frightened the shit out of me.

The Poughkeepsie Tapes. Because it's about something that actually exists - Serial killers. It's made like a documentary, but it has shots from the point of view of the killer as he's inside victims' houses. Best use of suspense I've ever seen, and it scared the shit out of me. Don't watch it.
As well, "It" scared me while I was watching it. Until the ending, when

"It" IS A GIANT STICK BUG! AAAGH! ...seriously. They kill it with a slingshot. after all the wonderful exposition, Stephen King (Or maybe if the director changed the ending?) couldn't come up with a better way to end it. Really.
Virtually no horror movie has frightened me. That said, Marble Hornets is the most terrifying thing I have ever seen.
Pan's Labyrinth wasn't scary, but it was immensely disturbing. It featured the most realistically evil antagonist I've ever seen on film. And of course there was the Pale Man...
And in that vein, I am immensely pissed off that Del Toro's rendition of The Mountains of Madness was cancelled, because that might have been the only horror film to actually frighten me.

The Strangers and any film with a purposely screwed up audio range. I am usually not scared, I played Amnesia through without screaming, crapping myself, only pausing once or twice for horror.
The issue is my Aspergers. I hate loud and sudden noises, especially high pitched. There is a high-low contrast in one vampire film, name forgotten (vampires search for human blood alternative, vamps that eat vamps mutate, story of haves and those who have not). The film was so terrible, that after the cinema, renting it on dvd to see if I could actually enjoy it, I realised I could not. The range was purposely screwed up that way.

Such a huge let-down after the book!Flamingpenguin said:
At least with The Hunt For Red October they just dropped the last third of the book and left the audience to assume everyone got away with it somehow.
It's been a while, but from memory, in the book ...
... the children went to confront IT with a silver slug and a slingshot and if Richie Tozier hadn't screamed "It's the werewolf!" IT would have shown up in some other form and they'd have been screwed but he did and they hurt IT and IT fled but they didn't kill IT that way and went into the sewers and the tunnels below them to finish IT off and IT was scared of them then because they were willing to confront IT and that's the biggest weakness of a lot of childhood fears, isn't it? IT tried to use The Creeping Eye from some recent (at the time) horror movie and one of them had really never seen what was scary about the movie monster, so while the others were petrified he just laid into it: "Come on! What's the matter with you lot? I'm doing the mashed potato all over this thing, and I've got a broken arm!"
They tracked IT down in ITs lair and IT tried a bird form because one of them had been scared of birds ever since one landed on his pram, but the bird-lover drove IT away with the names of wonderful birds that really did exist and the fact that it didn't.
I can't remember exactly what IT was and what they did to IT, but they hurt IT badly and left, then got lost in the dark tunnels until Beverly regrouped them by having sex with them all.
Then, thirteen years later, or maybe twenty-six because IT missed a cycle, stuff started happening again and the one who'd stayed behind to tell the others if it did called them all back, and one of them slashed his wrists in the bath and scrawled:
I'm pretty sure Bill, Ben, Bev and Richie came back to join the one who'd stayed (can't remember his name) and maybe it was Eddie who didn't because IT bit his arm off when he shoved his inhaler into ITs mouth and hit IT with a throatload of battery acid so maybe that happened when he was a kid and that was why the group was falling apart before Bev got them all back together.
Henry the psycho got let out of the madmanbin by IT in the guise of a giant Doberman and got a ride back to town in Christine, and I think he grabbed Bill's wife and handed her over to IT and Bill had to zoom down the street with her on the back of his old bicycle (that could race to beat the Devil, remember?) to snap her out of the trauma of looking into IT's deadlights ... whatever deadlights are.
*headscratch*headscratch* I think it was the bird-lover who slashed his wrists. I think he'd been the one who knew about animals and realised, while they were down there the first time, that IT was female, pregnant and very near her time. When they went down the second time, IT was, eventually, a spider with a huge web with bodies hanging in dusty silk all around, and after they killed it they went back where it had dragged itself away, stamping on all the eggs they could find ... but they never could be sure they'd got them all.

I suppose tryign to film it was always doomed because the whole point of IT was that IT was The Thing That Scares You, and IT wouldn't appear the same to different people who had very different sets of fears, like a cinema audience, and IT preyed on children who could still see IT and believe in IT and be really, really scared of IT, whereas adults have taught themselves not to see the monsters and wouldn't believe in IT and wouldn't know the same wonderful, delicious terror ... so to make a film of the book faithfully would exclude the audience that would most "appreciate" it. You can't have some kid's arm getting ripped out in a kids' movie, can you?
