Scariest movies you've seen

[lovemachine]

Halloween is on it's way. It's gotten me in the mood to be scared. I've never really seen a movie that's scared me. For once, I want to watch a movie that's going to scare the **** outta me.

So. What scary movies have you seen that's scared you like that. I'm talking about some real horrified movies here.

What are your favorites?

Any Chuck Norris movie. Make me scared and thankful at the same time.

Movies don't scare me... 'cuz they're movies. That, and because Hollywood has substituted "gory" for "frightening" just like they've substituted "vulgarity" for "funny".

That said, parts of Fire in the Sky absolutely creeped the **** outta me for some reason. I won't watch it again.

The Shining
What Lies Beneath
Grandmas Gone Wild

JAWS is still the scariest movie to me. I know by todays standards it's tame but I recall sitting in the front row of the Arlington Theater watching it when it first came out and it scared the Bejebus out of me! That would be a horrific way to die IMO.

Grandmas gone wild?
Sounds like a Porno

I never got into the whole "Halloween" movie stuff. Most were just gross to be gross.

A couple that HAVE spooked me, even though they are not rally "scary movies":
Signs - Signs (2002) - IMDb (the alien walking through the news footage freaked me out)
Se7en - Se7en (1995) - IMDb (saw it with my wife, and the ending was WRONG on so many levels)

Cathy says The Lost Boys.

I told her she's a doof.

Exactly.

The neighbor kids and I watched "The Silence of the Lambs" on HBO back in the 90's when it came out. It freaked us out. Movies like that which could be real are thrillers to me.

I was just telling someone last night at work how they don't make scarey movies anymore. I'm over all the gore and crap.


The Silence of the Lambs
Red Dragon
Candyman 2
Vacancy

Exorcism of Emily Rose
The Thing (Oldie but a goodie)

Seven is very good. If were going for gore, pick a rob zombie movie.

Se7en - Se7en (1995) - IMDb (saw it with my wife, and the ending was WRONG on so many levels)

I thought Se7en was outstanding, due in large part to the atypical ending. I own the movie, but have to be in the right (or wrong) mood to re-watch it.

Signs is the one that got the most response from me. The birthday party scene just kind of jumps out of nowhere and smacks you over the head.

 

[Joe Williams]

Signs is distinctly creepy. We love watching it.

 

[lovemachine]

7 was a good movie. I LOVED silence of the lambs. I forgot all about Signs. That was a good one.
I even liked paranormal activity.

That's no joke....it makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up everytime.

While not "scary" as in a traditional slasher/splatter horror flick, I saw a very disturbing film about a month ago. It is available on NetFlix instant if anyone does that...

"Silly Games". It is an Austrian film with English subtitles, and it is so realistically well done that I did not want to continue watching it because it really plucked my strings of fear for my family. It is a masterpiece, though.

"The Ring". That chick crawling out of the well and the TV really creeped me out for some reason.

The first Alien movie. You always knew something was going to happen, but not when. Now there's a movie that should have been in 3-D.
