When I was a child, I saw a movie called The Amityville Horror, and there was a scene in which the mother was in the daughter's room, and the mother asked the daughter who she was talking to, the daughter replied, "Jodie"...the mother asked who that was and she said it was her friend...the mother walked over to close the window when she saw a black pig with red-glowing eyes...to this very day, that was the scariest thing I have ever seen in a movie...what was the scariest movie, or scene you ever saw?

Hi there,
I haven't seen that movie but i have heard the name 'Amityville horror' . Recently, i had seen the classic 1960's 'Psycho' and i enjoyed it. But it really wasn't that scary a movie. I watched this movie after the previous one 'Drag me to hell' and that was kinda scary, i really hate the way they surprise us with horror, it's like the heart misses one beat.
Lol, yeah the movie was quite scary, if you want to watch it, you can. :D I have seen other movies which stays in my head for long, like 'the grudge', 'the ring' the ghosts in these movies are really scary and i have often thought so much about those things when i am in the dark alone, and that scares me.
I don't watch horror movies alone now. I don't enjoy it alone either. I love to see Sci-fi movies alone, or with friends. They are my all time favourites. :)
Oh and the scariest scene i would have to say was in the movie 'the grudge' where this girl goes to the attic with a candle and she hears something behind her, and when she turns back.... ![](/Content/images/emotes/spooked.gif)

When I first saw The Grudge I thought it was the best I've seen in a long time! The way the Japanese make their ghosts in their movies...that alone is frightening, and very cool too!
If you get the chance to see Amityville Horror, get the original, that is the best one...as there a couple of re-makes, but not very good.
Thanks for the response!!!! ![](/Content/images/emotes/happy.gif)

I remember!! Wow that movie rocks. It's a rare movie where a book turn into a movie in the best way, and it seems it was based in a true story can you imagine that???
For me it was until 10, I always watched horror so my most scarring scene ever, the only time it took me like 2 weeks to get over was The Grudge's when Yoko comes down the stairs that way, that noise, that blood..........I still can't watch it! I got traumatized by horror movies after that.

Amityville Horror was an excellent movie!
The Grudge was a great movie too! I think the Japanese horror film makers are fast becoming the best at making horror movies...I'm American so I have to get the American version, I find subtitles hard to follow and watch the movie at the same time...but I've seen few that I thought was great from Japan...I always go to Blockbuster and see what they have in horror movies, especially from Japan. I like them a lot.

For me it's really difficult to say now if I like or hate cause a horror is supposed to freak you out, and the grunge (only watched the american yet) made me be traumatized by horror. I watched like since 6 or 7 and a movie I watch as an adult finally freaked me...now I can't watch alone....I couldn't believe my reaction. They say the japanese version is even worst, or better! It's even more SCARRING! So I can't watch.
But it's soooooooooooooo fun feeling fear!!
I love it.
It's just that the grunge...I don't know what happened there, that yoko coming down the stairs, that sound on her throat or something, I never was so shocked my entire life. I was with a friend and I started grabbing her arm and I scratched her all over!Poor friend.

I am a wuss when it comes to scary movies. So you may laugh at this one. I saw the original Dracula when I was about seven and from then on I would sneak the shaker of garlic into my bed with me at night. I also would pull the covers up under my chin and hold them there with clenched fists. I figured I would wake up if Dracula tried to pull the covers down to bite me.
As a teen, I decided I was going to do something about this phobia of mine. I read if you wanted to get over being scared of something, immerse yourself in it. So, I'd watch every movie with a vampire, read every book about vampires and guess what? Anne Rice is now one of my favorite authors and vampires no longer scare me. I even took the ghost and vampire tour in New Orleans on a dark windy night!

The ghost and vampire tour sounds really cool!! What was that like? I would love to do that myself!!
There was another movie that was out when I was a kid that scared the bejeezers out of me...it was called Trilogy Of Terror, and it had a voodoo doll that came to life and killed if you removed the gold chain from around it's neck...later that night I went to sleep with a bunch of gold chains on my bed and on the floor!

There was a guide who had the most real looking teeth, so I asked him if they were real and he asked me if I wanted to find out.
I nervously laughed and said NO! and rejoined my friends.
When he came up behind me later and whispered over my shoulder, 'don't follow me' and walked away...my friend had to grab my arm and pull me back. She asked me what I was doing and I really couldn't tell her why I started to follow him. It was sort of frightening. Was he real? Or was he not? Still don't know for sure.
I don't care for bloody movies like they have now. The psychologically scary ones are what get me.
That Twilight Zone show used to scare me to tears. One where the aliens come and have a book titled 'To Serve Man' and it turns out to be a cookbook made me have nightmares.

ebuscat...I'm not quite sure how a movie is against God's Law, as I know Scripture and there isn't anything in there about watching movies.
Satan makes movies? That is tough to say, because how can you judge someone and their relationship with God to say they are of Satan? Judging others is against God's Law, that Scripture says.
I think if you mimic what you see in a movie, then you were moved by Satan..I would say sure...but for someone to imitate evil from a movie, they were evil to begin with..as a movie doesn't make a good person into a bad person.
But that's OK....thank you very much for responding
...have a great and peaceful day!

hello francis! ( I hope it's okay with you for me to shorten it out...
)
well,I have not seen what you have stated here. but if i can remember i have watched Amityville curse which there was a priest or a confession area which has the horror part on it, but i can't remember what kind of scenes does it have back then.
Like others stated here, I have been terrified by the grudge and the ring. Though there are also movies which are from our country (Philippines) that scared me also. I like those of "Sukob" and "Feng Shui".![](/Content/images/emotes/w00t.gif)

Hi annavi23...
That's OK on my name...I do have a long name.
I'm not familiar with those two movies...perhaps you could send me a message with some recommendations to some really good horror movies? I would love to check them out!
OK...I just checked out the trailers of these two movies on youtube....I can see why you find them scary! Sukob looks REALLY good! I also watched the trailer for a movie called OUIJA....THAT looks really good also, have you seen that one?

Ouija? is that a filipino movie as well?
have you watched filipino movies which i have stated in here?
may i ask what country are you from and your citizenship?
it's amazing how you can watch movies from the philippines huh?
Well, nowadays i don't like watching much of horror movies cause i don't like my mind trembling when i go to sleep.
i think that can be too bad for our health as well. if i can watch horror it would be better to have someone to watch with and i'd like it daytime.![](/Content/images/emotes/happy.gif)

I read the book before I seen the movie and that bit with Jodie always got me and when I seen the movie with the rad eyes... It did scare me at the time but The Amityville Horror was one of the most successful hoaxes of all time. How silly did I feel after being petrified by the novel
But I am a big horror fan too and it was a great movie and story
The red eyes at the window is an image that has always stayed with me.

I don't think I've seen Ginger Snaps....
I think you know you've seen a scary movie when you actually do something to ensure you'll be safe afterwards...like fixing the curtains...then one day you look back and say, "what was I thinking, it was only a movie!"...I've done that a couple of times myself!![](/Content/images/emotes/shocked.gif)

mine was a movie i saw when i was very young and it was on during the daytime!
i think if i saw it now i would laugh but back then it gave me nightmares. I do not remember what it was called , something like "them under the stairs".
it starred Kim Darby who was in "true grit" and it was about little people behind a blocked off wall in a house she had moved into.
to this day it is the only movie to give me nightmares but i would really love to watch it now and be ashamed of how afraid i was! lol!

That was a great movie! It had a cult following, and there may still be one...a classic!
The People Under The Stairs!!! Excellent choice!
