Scariest Movie?

What about JAWS? I know people were scared sh@$#less to go into the water after they saw the movie. But the scariest I have seen is Exorcist. Anything to do with Denomic possession or the devil, scares the crap out of me.

 

I read the biography on him, very sick.

 

I just watched Phone Booth on FX. Pretty scary when you think that could happen in real life. Obviously the chances of it happening are really really remote but still.

Whos Murnau and what was so creepy about him? I dont think I've ever heard of him before.

 

I was referring to John Wayne Gacey. A real life evil, sadistic, rapist in a clown suit.

 

F.W. Murnau directed the silent version of a Dracula movie, Nosferatu, which was mentioned here and some consider to be the height of creepiness. Murnau's last film, Tabu, i think it was entitled, was made on some remote island in Polynesia/Bali/something- he trespassed into an area the natives warned him against, and was cursed.
Some time thereafter, upon return to the US, and shortly before the premiere of said cursed film he was killed in a rather strange auto accident. Apparently, he was sucking off his young valet, who was driving and wound up giving new meaning to the term 'giving head.'
Moral of story- when filming in native lands, avoid cursed grounds, and do not, under any circumstances, permit locals to put curse on you. The rest is, hmmm, history.

 

Fallen

 

Spill it!

I'll go first:

The pig head scenes in The Village (with high end surround system where you'd hear every detail) gave me heavy goosebumps (creatures with human bodies but pig heads wearing capes, walking around at night knocking on peoples doors)
A lot of cave scenes in The Descent also gave me chills (creatures living in pitch black caves who climb on walls and make those tick-tick-tick-tick noises)


I guess the human-like creatures scare me more than demons and aliens. You?

 

The Omen and Poltergeist were big ones back in the day.......

 

The original Exorcist still freaks me out a little bit. When it originally came out in theaters, my sister, Melanie, saw it with her friends (she was around 17). My brother had just gotten home before her and saw her hauling ass up the drive (obviously still freaked out from the movie). Our old house had a closet right at the bottom of the stairs going up to the bedrooms, so in goes my brother. My sister flies in (it's after midnight) the door and starts running up the stairs. My brother opens the door as she passes and hisses, "Mellllllllllllanie". My sister couldn't even scream, she just fell flat on the stairs and couldn't move. Almost passed out from being scared!! We still crack up about that one! That's what you get when there's 7 kids in the family.........always someone, somewhere ready to get you!!!

To this day my oldest sister can not even be in the room if the "spider walk" scene is even talked about!! It was a deleted scene where Regan came down the stairs upside down on her fingertips and toe tips............................ewwwwwww I'm freaking out now!!

 

Both of these movies gave me nightmares when I was a kid when I saw them on TV. I hate most of the modern gore movies.

I hate horror movies but years and years ago I went on a date and we saw Poltergiest. I had no idea what the movie was until it started. It bothered me for days.

Yes, I'm a wimp.

 

Only four movies have ever scared me

The Exorcist
The Omen
The Sentinel
Jaws

I was raised Catholic and saw the first three when I was a kid so that explains that. Jaws kept me out of the water for years.

 

Movies that freaked me out but were not really scary per se:

Serpent and the Rainbow
Flowers in the Attic
Pet Semetary

 

People either loved it or hated it...................The Blair Witch Project

 

It's gotta be: The Exorcist and Texas Chainsaw Massacre uncut. Other movies have made me jump but they were in a different league.

 

I'm the same way. The Exorcist is the scariest movie of all time I think.
Zombie movies like 28 Days Later or Quarantined always get me.

 

Saw II. FML.

That movie scared and mentally disturbed me.

 

Lightweight

 

Well, the Exorcist didn't scare meee!!

 

But is scared Andersen's

 

I hate all those movies where there's just so much blood and torture, can't watch any of them. One time, while at a friend's house, and he was giving me crap about not liking that stuff, and (stupidly ) I agreed to watch Saw III. I have never been so freaked out in my whole life. It was just the most disturbing thing I have ever seen. And not just scary, but just gross and messed up, ohhhh man I can't even talk about it. I was just mentally exhausted after seeing that, it was like the mental equivalent of going 10 rounds with Mike Tyson.

 

The Exorcist scared the living **** out of me when I was a kid

 

I'd tell you, but then... I'd have to kill you... when you least expect it.

Put it this way - It's rare enough to cost 120 bucks new or 95 used... for a VHS!

My original Poster cost half that... 10 years ago!

 

When I was very young, "The Birds", Alfred Hitchcock. Scared the hell out of me, I didn't sleep all night and stared at the fireplace.
I think the original "Alien" gave me a fair scare when it first came out.

Everything since has been pretty predictable.

The blood and gore does nothing for me, it's a gross out and disturbing but not really scary.
