what are the scariest movies that you've seen?

the scariest movie I've ever seen is The Exorcist. I saw it when I was only 8 years old. I heard it was a true story so I thought I could become possessed too. I had nightmares for years after seeing it.

i have two that tops my list: The eye and the Shutter. these have both sent shivers to my spine! especially the last part of the movie shutter! oh my dad is soo brilliant and i did not expect to see that. really really scary! the eye, on the other hand made me scared of getting into elevators for a time alone. haha

The sacriest movie i have seen has to be 'The shining'. The isolated hotel gave such a creepy feeling. 'The descent' was pretty scary too. The movie 'stay alive' was also really scary and i wonder why it has not been more discussed as a really scary film.

the scariest movie that i ever sow was... tagalog: OMG ang anak ni janice... english: OMG the baby of janice... kinda cute when the baby monster jump like a frog and bite janice from her neck...

emily rose was a good one, and i cant wait to see shutter. the one i'll reccomend tho, is an oldie. The Changeling with George C Scott scared me senseless when i was a kid. havent seen it since then, and hopefully it wont disapoint. i just recently bought the entire Omen series, as well as the new remake, and those also wigged me when i was young.. upon watching them now tho, i was left extremely disapointed wondering what the hell was i so freaked out over. i expected better of the remake, but it was the exact same movie, same scenes, even down to the script almost, just different actors, wish id hadnt bought them now.

Even though the movie isnt THAT scary, I would have to say the scariest movie I have ever watched is the sixth sense. I have NO idea why. I have definitely watched my fair share of thirlling, edge of your seat, cuddle with that pillow movies. For some reason I just cant finish that movie. Probably has something to do with the fact that i was pretty young when it came out and i first tried to watch it. Some freakkyyy stuff though. :]

I like watching horror films and there are many that have caused me to have to leave the lights on afterwards but most of them are older films. The first one that comes to mind is "The Changling". No matter how many times I see it I still get spooked. Excellent ghost story though. The remake of "The Shining" was another that gave me the creeps. The original was good but the remake was even better. "Stephen King's IT" is one that really scared me. I'm terrified of clowns so this one dealt with one of my fears. "The First Power" was awesome and yeah creeped me out as well but another I'd recommend. The first one to ever scare me was "Friday The 13th". I saw it when I was 12 and I went to camp the next summer. It was still with me when I went there. The part where the hand comes up from under the cot bugged me for a long time. I always made sure I had stuff under my bed so nothing could be under there.

i used to watch horror movies too during the Lenten Season! but when i started to have my own internet connection at home, my movie watching at home has been decreasing a lot. ^__^;; when i was a student and we didn't have internet at home and in the boarding house, i used to watch scary movies during the Lent. i remember i watched The Ring and The Grudge late at night with all the lights out with my landlady. that was an awesome time. i felt goosebumps on the back of my neck and yeah, i kinda had a hard time sleeping. hey, i've also watched Shutter before. it has a hollywood version?? oh yeah, i think i've read about it in the newspapers. but i'm sure i would prefer the Thailand version like any other Asian movies that i preferred over their Hollywood counterparts. nothing beats the original right? ^__^ i've also watched the Exorcism of Emily Rose! i like that movie too. i wanna watch the uncut version of The Exorcist but i can't find a dvd of it.

Hostel and the Saw movies. And, here is why. Movies like Cloverfield (which I loved) have no basis in reality. The likelihood of the events in the movie is minimal. But, as you said about the Exorcist, that stuff can happen. So, in Hostel and any or all of the Saw movies, there are psycho people heck bent on getting their jollies from torturing others which is what makes Hostel and the Saw movies so hard to watch. The scare the crud out of me. Hostel disturbed me for days after I saw it. I couldn't get it out of my head. So, if I could recommend a horror film for you, that would be Hostel. I think there is a sequel out too but, I haven't seen that one yet. And, then I would recommend the Saw movies, of which I think there are 4. I haven't seen the 4th one yet. If you get them, let me know what you thought of them and I hope you enjoy them...as much as you can enjoy something that scares the heck, heaven and everything in between out of you!

I am not much of a fan of horror movies but I do have some favorites. The Shining The Exorcist The Blair Witch Project Each one of those movies scared the bejeezus out of me for different reasons. The Shining revealed what a haunting might do to a person's mind and what it might lead him to do. The Exorcist showed what the devil might do if he had the chance. And the BWP brought out all the fears of the unknown. If you have ever been deep in a forest and felt isolated from the world, you can imagine that something like that would happen.

For me i would have to say it was exorcist. That movie really creeped me out bad. I wasn't so scared during watching it but after it was over i was freaked out so bad that i couldn't sleep until sunrise.

I absolutely love horror movies and I rate them based on how scared I am to stay alone at home or sleep in the dark! I have favorites from my early years to now. Of course, what I used to think were really scary when I was younger, don't seem as scary now, but they left such an impact on me that certain things still freak me out. Older horror movies that scared the beejeezus out of me: - Poltergeist. The scene in the first poltergeist where the little boy is in bed and sees the toy clown sitting at the base of his bed one moment and then the clown is attacking him the next, left me with lifelong scars re: clowns. I think they are the freakiest things! And all the mirror scenes in the third poltergeist had me scared to look in mirrors for awhile for fear of what would be reflected. - It by Stephen King. Another movie that reinforced my fear of clowns. - Nightmare on Elm Street. This made me afraid to go to sleep and dream. I spent countless nights awake after watching these movies. I think it was only good until the 4th one though. And Wes Craven's New Nightmare was pretty scary too. I find it's hard to find really good horror movies nowadays. However, the following are my favorite recent horror movies: - The Ring. This was an excellent horror movie that played with your mind. I had to have a friend walk me to my door and wait til I turned on all the house lights before they could leave - and this was after watching it the second time in theaters. - The Descent. I think someone else mentioned this movie previously. This was a fantastic movie with no-name actors about a bunch of girls that go spelunking in a cave full of mutant creatures. I was imagining hearing the sounds in the dark for weeks to come that the creatures in the movie made.

Watching "The Ring" really f'd me up. I ran outside and hid in my back yard far far far away from my tv after I saw it.

Scary...I am not sure...but one that really FREAKED me out was The Serpent and the Rainbow. Holy moly...still gives me the chills just thinking about it. I do not watch a lot of scary movies... I remember watching Jaws and Nightmare of Elm Street as a kid - those were pretty scary then (I haven't seen them for a LONG time). Psycho and the Shining had their scary moments. And the Silence of the Lambs was pretty freaky too. Pet Semetary and Seven were good too! I also thought The Others, Altered States, and Halloween (at least the first one) were pretty scary. Have you seen April Fools Day? That is one of my favorites to show during parties. I am not sure why...it is pretty corny...

hi dierdre mine is The Exorcism of Emily Rose !! damn it makes me sleep with lights on for almost 4 days it's very scary, and it's based on a true story that makes the movie looks very real the other series of Exorcist is also very scary to me LoL i feel like a sissy right now.. hahaa thanks dierdre .. ^^

Movies don't really scare me all that much, but I have had a move or two that has given me a bit of "the chills", so to speak. The last movie that I can remember having that happen was "What Lies Beneath." It's not really that scary of a movie or anything, but something about it just sort of made my skin crawl a little.

I would have to say Amyityville Horror, the newer one with Ryan Reynolds and The Grudge movies. For someone reason these always give me the chills. Especially, Amityville. It freaked me the heck out!

my all time fave horror movie is "THE SIXTH SENSE" i have never been shocked or scared that much till i watched that one (talking about screaming, haha). i love that it is very spontaneous and that it is not like others that you can predict easy. i didnt even realize the whole story till it is almost done so i enjoy it a lot. i like that it intrigues me the very beginning till the end. im not a fun of horror movie but this one is one of a kind. it's just some to me is boring and nothing especial on it most of the stuff you mention, i already watched them and didnt get that scared compared to "the sixth sense" oh, if there is a 2nd rate one, i also like "the skeleton key" quite interesting to me as well coz my prediction is wrong haha. anyway, great topic! takecare

I love horror movies, though I must say I need to watch them with company; else I have nightmares. The scariest movies I have seen, must have been the Omen series (rather old shows), the foreign movies (Korean, Japanese, Thai, Taiwanese) like The Phone, Double Vision, Dark Waters, the Red Shoes, etc.

movies dont really scare me. what scares me is the movies that are based on real things, that scare the CRAP out of me.
