These are the scariest to me because they're the ONLY ones that've given me the creeps...

The Exorcist

28 Days Later

Outbreak

**Mellow Out** · 08-18-2004 09:01 PM

Goonies gave me nightmares

**Rudie** · 08-18-2004 11:34 PM

I'd have to say Stepehn King's "It" is the worst I've seen.I saw it once, and I was 4, and it still creeps me out.

And "The Ring" didn't help to make me feel safe home alone

the ring and outbreak.

**CRASS** · 08-19-2004 02:07 AM

none... the "horror" genre of movies pretty much means to me "BORING"

**Lawry** · 08-19-2004 03:22 AM

yea the ring

yeah that applies to most of today's "horror" movies. they're more suspense flicks more than anything, using sound to build up the moment, which is just friggin' cheap. and who can forget crappy plots seemingly written by 10 yr olds.

Although not too scary, one of my favorite movies of all time is Halloween.

Hey this is my 2000th post, now I'm a double Kahuna.

the Ring did have a certain creepy mystique to it, I still have to see the original Japanese version "Ringu" but am quite skeptical.

You guys might want to try Juon. It's also Japanese, I thought it was cool, but yeah, the Japs have a different story telling style than anyone else. I find it to be lacking in plot detail and needing to be taken "with a grain of salt". Nevertheless, it's pretty cool.

How is Outbreak scary? Ooooh.... MONKEYS!! ARGH!

Blair Witch, alone, in a cinema, at night. That was ****ed up.

**ichiban** · 08-19-2004 06:14 AM

Yeah man, it's weird, as a kid I wasnt really scared of ghosts and other crap like that. I was more afraid of viruses cause it was more realistic, more believable threat to my well being and junk. I dunno, I even took a virology course last quarter to learn about 'em better and hopefully ease my paranoia of 'em, but no luck. Man viruses are gross.

Go watch 28Days Later!

Instead of monkeys, you have crazy bad-breathed englishmen trying to bite you!

**raven6241** · 08-19-2004 06:18 AM

ARGH! It's like a British Holiday Camp out of food!!!

**elScorcho** · 08-19-2004 07:05 AM

Predator. Back in the 80's. I wasn't ten yet. Scared the hell out of me. :o

**Sensei** · 08-19-2004 07:24 AM

Never had one really creep me out, I've always been a fan of horror flicks. I like the cheesy low budget ones too, there more like comedies.

The ring was a good one though, saw it in the theater with my girlfriend when it first came out, and she still has issues with walking into a dark room alone

while i agree w/ that most of today's horror movies are crap, i disagree that the use of sound and music to create mood (and the eventual shock) is somehow "cheap." alfred hitchcock, possibly the greatest suspense director of the sound era in film, used it masterfully.

visuals and dialogue are only two of a director's weapons. sound is another option: a third board in the director's quiver, if you will. although it is not a horror film, watch robert altman's M*A*S*H (the movie, NOT the TV show) for a clinic on how to use sound in movies: overlapping dialogue, background noise, it's some amazing 5hit.

sorry for the partial hijack. to get us back on track, i saw the movie "witchboard" with my mom when i was younger. crummy movie, but for some reason it scared the he11 outta both of us!

None really scare me either. I did like house of 1000 corpses and wrong turn.

**Momona Boe** · 08-19-2004 08:49 AM

Pamela and Tommy Lee

Frightening!

**MattofMattRabbit** · 08-19-2004 09:55 AM

i think that the major problem with alot of horror movies is that they are just gross out horror, they just have like people cut up and stuff, one movie that was not a horror movie but gave me goose bumps at several points was Mothman Prophecies the first time i saw it was on my uncles big screen tv in the middle of the night
