that you couldn't sleep for days??
There are quite a lot for me. Amityville horror, even though now I think about it, it wasn't really a scary story- maybe because it was based on a ral one- I had trouble sleeping for days and stared at the clock.. I think it was 3:10..? when the murders happened. Then Jeepers Creepers, although very unreal, I just can't bare to think of a scary monster eating me up. And of course, the Grudge and Shutter (Asian versions)- was just so scary and they just pop up anywhere- especially in cabinets and mirrors and beds.. I was really scared for weeks.

I was really scared of the movie "The Eye" (I'm not sure if it was a Korean or Japanese version that I watched.) It really made my heart pound. Jeepers Creepers is one of my favorites too. I don't ever want to see Jeepers Creepers in real life :S
I find most Koreans and Japanese scary movies really scary. The girls with long hairs really freaks me out like Sadako of the movie The Ring.

Exactly, Wishing Stairs is about school girls and friendship. It is really creepy. You should watch it :)

The Decent made me unable to sleep for awhile. It was very good and had some things in it that scare me anyway. Then Thirty Days of Night is my all time favorite horror vamp movie. I love vamp movies to begin with but this one seems more realistic than the rest. The second one isn't as good as the first.

That movie- the Descent reminds me of The Cave- with the same monster/alien looking predators. I love 30 days of night too, since they present a different kind of vampire- not the glittery and appealing one, but the vampire which really scares us.

Well, The Descent is a group of women and The Cave is a scientific group. I liked The Descent best. 30 Days of Night is chilling I thought. The second one was just a reason for goar.

For me it was The Omen the original one not the remake from 2000 and some year (i don`t remember the exact year) a was little when i watched it and i don`t know why, but this movie scared me a lot. Now i don`t have this problems i think that the most part of the new horror movies are with too much killings and this killings are made nasty, but not scary. A really big part of this type of movies have no meaning at all and are really boring and there are a few good movies from this genre. Maybe asian horrors are one of the best and there are some european also good, but the biggest part of the americans aren`t really good for me.

@di44ito yeah, killings aren't really scary- ones with ghost are..I also get scared with cannibalism since that really happens, maybe even until now.
@llaury Shutter is a really awesome horror film- it had lots of good scares with a good back story too- I love the going up and down the ladder thing- that was freaky.

Amongst movies based on ghosts Ju-On(Japanese version) and Exorcist are on top of my list.But two movies who disturbed me a lot although they are not based on ghosts are Battle Royale and I saw the Devil.Battle Royale simply because the concept itself is too disturbing, students of a class are brought to an Island and they are forced to play a pathetic game of killing your classmates for survival,hard to swallow for sure.In I Saw the Devil they have shown the extent of cruelty a human being is capable of and about how revenge can eat you up.Very disturbing i must say.

I saw some clips of Battle Royale, but it was a group of school girl jumping of a train or something- they looked freakishly happy. Ju-on is at the top of my list too, I think I had a hard time sleeping for 2 weeks because of that. it's just scary imagining the little boy could be anywhere.

No horror movies ever make me can't sleep by the time I'm being teen..
Well.. I just got bad nightmares, though..
And the list of scariest movies I ever seen are movies from Indonesia . Mostly it's about ghosts, and that local ghosts are far scarier than "Hollywood" ghosts and murderers.. (even the ghosts can kill too on those films!) xD

Exorcist! That is my worst nightmare. I was unable to sleep good a weeks and always scared. I was young at that time. I guess I was 9 years old when I watched that movie. Linda Blair in that movie was so scary.
That movie almost make me crazy.

I am a longtime fan of horror movies. I enjoy being scared by so many of them. When it comes to really being scared while watching a film, Poltergeist was always a movie that would make me sleep with the lights on. Otherwise I am game for any horror movie,

I have Amityville horror on my computer that a friend gave me but I just can't handle a scary movie on my own right now. I prefer to watch scary movies with friends because I feel a lot better watching everyone scream while I laugh at them I have seen heaps of gory horror movies, they were alright but they were simply disgusting. Horror movies these days aren't really as good as they use to be, the Asian ones are probably always the best. I did recently watch a horror film called The Tunnel. My friends kept telling me that it was real as it was in a documentary form. What was worse, it occurred in the tunnel under a station in my city! So I got really scared how some people in the movie got cameras and tried to check out the tunnel only to be dragged by something in the dark. I thought it was real and got really scared until I found out it was just a movie

I love watching horror movies with friends too- since it makes it less scary. Some Asian horror movies are not as good as the ones before though. I have heard of a lot of movies claiming to be based on real events, so I research about it before actually seeing it.

The Excorcist for me, I was so scared watching that movie when i was young. Every succeeding scene with Linda Blair in it makes my hair rise. She's just getting uglier and uglier and more malevolent as Pazuzu was possessing her throughout the movie.

First of all, I hate to watch horror movies. They create very negative impressions on the mind. Especially on young minds. So I had the terrible scare as a very young boy [can't recollect the name after such long years :p but it was bad. I did watch The Exorcist though, with a group of friends and may be, we were in a big group and chatted long about it, there was no loss of sleep or after scare. But there are a lot of shows on the small screen these days and mostly late at night. I make sure I don't watch them because the images keep coming back robbing me of good sleep. :)

I get easily scared with horror movies, but I still like to watch them. I don't even get hwy some people, like me, like to scare themselves. have you hear of "fear Itself", it's a mini series, with scary stuff- each has an independent episode directed by different people.

I haven't seen Amityville horror yet. The movies that really scared me a lot also includes the Grudge and Shutter. Shutter was really very scary. The Orphan, Case 21, Wishing Stairs were also scary movies. There are so many movies that made me feel scared and if I had to write them all down, it would be very long. :)

I get sacred of Asian movies too- maybe because their urban legends are really good and feels really true; and also because of the proximity- our countries are quite near. S if ghosts or urban legends were real, it could easily be passe to us or something.

I saw that too- the vampires there were really scary.. and I felt really bad for he sacrifice Josh Hartnett had to make to save his friends.. I can't even imagine being in the same place as those people- I'd rather die than run and hide, waiting to be eaten.

I have seen a number of horror movies, western, asian, and so on. The one movie which made me really scared was "Dracula". One time, a friend of mine and I sat down in front of the TV and watched Dracula. We stayed on for about half-an-hour. Then, we decided to stop watching. It got on our nerves, and made us feel really scared. We could not watch it any more.
