Best "Scarey" Film.

[Mark A]

I was only ever scared of films when i was really young. I think, IT, The Shining and Psycho 2 were the only ones that creeped me out.

My mum said the scariest film she ever watched was the exorcist, so i watched it and ended up nearly falling asleep.

Salem's Lot.

May as well close the thread now.

 

[Monkey Puzzle]

Is that from Stephen King's It? Clowns are just wrong.

In the mouth of madness is the most recent film that freaked me out- the person riding on the bicycle is just creepy.

The Thing, even if it was 1982 it still looks good and scares well imo.

 

[Grandmaster Fap!]

Salem's Lot.

May as well close the thread now.

Aye i still have trouble watching it even after all these years.

The Thing
The Shining
Thanksgiving ad from Grindhouse (Youtube for it).

No Horror/Tense films scare me at all I find most of them Comedy The only film that came close to scaring me was The butterfly effect that film was so **** i got scared that it was a sign of films to come fortunatly I was proven wrong!

Alien Abduction: The Mcpherson tape, scared the **** out of me, most alien based films do.

Ju-on: The Grudge was the last film I saw which had the right sort of tension and build up. As much as I love these films they rarely scare me like this one has, The Ring especially was such a let down

Scariest film probs be Blair Witch Project, was just a great set up with the amateur camera and that.

but by FAR the scariest thing I have ever seen is Woman in Black in the theatre. I encourage anyone to go and watch that film and not **** themselves. Seriously.

Alien Abduction: The Mcpherson tape, scared the **** out of me, most alien based films do.

lol, is that the one where they see the lights in the woodlan, then that red light comes through the windows, and they are all crapping themselves in the front room?

Was laughing the whole way through that, it was pure comedy


As for scary films:

The Shining
The Ring

Get my vote.

Hack/slash gore fest films don't scare me at all, they are just either comical in their over-the-top-ness, or just grusome, but not scary.

Psychological thrillers are the way forward with scary films.


Though Blair Witch was terrible, it was just dull and very very very boring. Never got the big deal with that film.


Fire in the Sky sounds intresting, might have to give that a look up.

Shutter.

Everything else fails.

 

["andy"]

god knows how this hasnt been mentioned

jurasic park !

only film to ever give me nightmares tbh

 

[something daft already!!]

I have not been scared by a film since I was ten. The best horror movie I have seen of late would be Sixth sense or Stir of Echoes. I cant think of a good one this century so far. The Shining is my all time favourite.

Another vote for The Thing, freaked the **** out of me when I watched it as a child.

The scariest films for me has to be the Alien series, especially the first. Saw it late at night when I was really young and it scared the hell out of me. Films these days just don’t cut it anymore.
