The Ring... only movie ever to be better as a hollywood remake than an inspired original. (Nah, ok... there may be a few more of these)
I mean... i watched it with some burly manly guys, We all were around eighteen or twenty years old and horror veterans.
And that night, we drove back to our homes NOBODY saying a word. And i had one of those manly dudes confess a few days later, that he couldn't sleep well that night (He waited till it was light outside till he could). Awesome *g*

I hated that movie because it's so hypocritical. Who's responsible for a the rise gorn movies? The audience? The producer? What about the director who made the movie TWICE?!
You win. I mean, this is someone who wasn't freaked out by End of Evangelion and that shit scared me. Who knew a bunch of kids could be so damn terrifying?Pseudonym2 said:
I watch so many horror movies that the vast majority of them don't even phase me anymore. I remember when I was a kid The Ring scared me, but now I find the whole J-Horror thing to be horribly overdone, it's not scary, and I'm just sick of it.
So, I can't think of a movie that scares me all the way through, but there are a few that've given me the creeps. The scene at night in the asylum in Session 9 was good for a scare. The repeated dream scene in John Carpenter's Prince of Darkness where there is a sillhoueted figure in the door of the church still gives me the creeps. Despite all the ire it seems to have earned, I still contend that The Blair Witch Project has some of the best scares because you never see the monster, so your brain fills it in. And lastly, some of the images that The Mothman Prophecies put in my head are kinda creepy.

I thought Event Horizon was pretty good as far as horror flicks, but I think my second pick would maybe have to be Eraserhead. Some might not consider it outright horror, but for my money, there's nothing weirder.Laura. said:
Day After Tomorrow.
It gave me a little lasting fright only because I saw it the day of Katrina. We turned off the tv to watch something that seemed like the beginning on the movie on all channels. That wasn't fun.
"Criminals are a Cowardly and superstitious lot... and they really hate Balloon Animals and tumbling."

Did you see this in the theater? people kept telling me how scary Signs is and I had to check it out for myself. When I saw the big scary scene, it was like watching something from youtube...Angerwing said:

I was scared shitless by a disney movie called The watcher in the woods. watch it and discover why.
When I was 10 it was IT and Children of the Corn. Nowadays I would say the Exorcist because the feeling of the movie stays with me after I watch it. It's not very blatantly scary but I get a sick feeling in the pit of my stomach for a couple of days after I see it which affects me more than the stuff nowadays where things just jump out and say boo.
There are actually good reasons given for both of those critisisms. You can't tell form the clip, but in the scenes prior they were chased up the stairs by pretty much every infectee in the building and had to lock themselves in a particular room. So by that point in the movie they had nowhere to really go. There was also no lights anywhere in the room so the girl needed to get the camera because otherwise she would have been stumbling around in the dark. But in the end she was fucked when the camera was dropped.SFR said:
When I was a kid: Alien, The Thing, and The Exorcist terrified me.
As an adult I think the only movie that actually genuinly creeped me out was The Ring. It was fantastic at building tension.

The Exorscist
- I watched it when i was 12 at a friend's place and had never experience a state of the art home theatre system. He puts on The Exorcist and well, lets say it made me not sleep for a week.
The Ring
- I was around 20, went with my cousins to see this movie as we had seen a trailer and were very intrigued.
- The whole movie was brilliantly shot and the gloomy feel of the movie was amazing. Even the actors speaking normal dialogues were starting to get unnerving. There are moments in the movie I will never forget. For instance, the funeral scene at the beginning where the two sisters ( one of them Naomi Watts ) try to console each other . Watt's sister says " But, I saw her face ", and BAAAM ! You get a chill down the spine with what comes...totally unexpected jump scare. But it worked wonders as one of the girls sitting behind us dropped her coke as well as everyone in the audience screaming
- We were literally trembling with fear and when she came out of the TV, we were frozen with fear tbh. One of the best movie experiences I have ever had and Gore Verbinksi deserves every credit he gets.
- Of course, I saw the original Japanese version later and it was great too.
Ju-on
- This led to me watching all kinds of J-Horror movies and my fav is Ju-on....simply brilliant and scary. I watched it on a small tv and still got scared !
Pet Cemetary
- All i can say is WTF !

Well I'm not a sucker for horror. Because it's shit and it's generally just SplashFest 5000. Except for 1:
Alien
Alien
High School Musical...
That movie scared the crap outta me, to think that the company that made such awesomness as Sword in the Stone, Beauty and the Beast and Aladdin made something so...so...so..Cheesy is very worrying.
