Well im pissed off at myself. I must of had like 5 hours of sleep last night, and now I gotta go to school. Watched a movie last night with my g/f based on some evil toothfairy. Anyways I couldn't stop thinking about the movie and I layed in bed awake all night. Now I gotta go to school. Oh well I guess i'll grab a coffee or something and hope I can stay awake all day.

Anyways the movie kinda creeped me out. That was scary when the boy is scared under his bed sheets and he goes to take a peek at whats the noise in his room. Than as soon as he takes a peek from under his sheets the tooth fairy is right there face to face with him.

I haven't seen a movie this scary since I watched Candy man.

Whats the scariest movie you've guys seen???

Event Horizon.

No contest, scariest movie ever. And I've seen all of the above.

Event horizen was fucking creepy....but....The Ring was worse. My god I stayed up all night for like 3 days after watching it. Havn't watched it since. Every time I see a snowy tv I get chills.

1) Exorcist (Directors Cut)

2) The Shining (Directors Cut)

3) Alien (Directors Cut)

Event Horizon is a great movie too, higly recommended. I also recommend "Into the Mouth of Madness." Both movies have the same actor as the lead and both are very similar in how they make you feel. Two of my favorites.

Candy Man was ok, it had an original story, and was actually quite entertaining. Played on the whole "Bloddy Mary" urban ledgend thing with the mirror.

Darkness falls was entertaining, but I wouldn't say it was scary. To predictable maybe. The same goes for Jeepers Creepers and They, which came out about the same time.

The Ring was scary, but only in the theater, and only the first time you watched it. Watching it at home sucks...i have a really nice surround system too, but its just not the same.

Aliens and The Thing had the shock factor (things jumping out at you) but they weren't scary.

Being scared, at least what I consider, isn't jumping when something pops on the screen. That is the cheesey way to get a reaction...kind of like throwing something at somebody. Their movements are the same.

Scary movies are the ones that make the hairs stand up on the back of your neck. Your pulse quickens and you may even get that little cold sweat going. It is the psychological mind fuck that really scares you.

Don't get to scared at movies anymore. When I was younger I hated Jaws. It still kinds of freaks me our about the ocean. I also scuba dive, so the first step into the water until I'm all the way under and can see freaks me out. The worst feeling I ever had was night diving in the Dry Tortugas off Key West. We had to pelican jump off the bow sides of the dive boat and it was a 7 foot(at least) drop to the water. You can't see anything in the water until you got under. So you jump off into this dark void and splash under you go. Then you are down there and you can't see shiznit. So you turn on your dive light and WWWUUUUMMM, you have this long beam of light shooting off into the distance and it is just absorbed by the dark. You don't know if there is something out there past that light or behind you, it's just dark all around you. It gets really cool when you get the bottom and see that there is something down there and you can look at something other than Darkness.

That was the worste feeling I think I have had in my life.

Hands down (in front of face!

) the scariest movie I ever saw:

The Exorcist

Didn't sleep for days after that. "The Ring" got me good too, but nothing like "The Exorcist".

Ok i live in the middle of nowhere in the woods...with that said I watched the Ring around 11pm at night.... I was so petrified I even had my sword (dull) by me because I was so freaked out. Kind of lame huh? Oh well we all have our moments

Triggar · 2004-02-12, 01:40 PM

"Silence Of The Lambs".

My sister and I watched it together when it was dark out and thunderstorming. I have never been so terrified in my entire life and vowed never to watch it again. That includes the sequels.

[edit] "The Bone Collector" was pretty creepy too, but I think it's mostly because it took place in the area of New York that I lived in.

I know what you mean. That movie just creeped me out. My ex loved it. She would purposely make the TV go snowy to freak me out. Grrrr at her.

Only thing I can recall ever seing that scared me was an episode of Outer Limits, or maybe it was the Twilight Zone, I forget. Anyways I saw it when I was about 6 or so and staying at my grandparents house. It had one of those raggity stuffed monkeys that was supposed to be an animated psycho killer or something. Freaked the hell out of me because my grandparents had one of those monkeys and I had nightmares pretty much the whole night.

For the most part though scary movies have never really scared me. Most of the time they're too funny to me to freak me out at all.

For me it's always been The Exorcist......saw it when I was about 10 and it set the bar which hasn't been topped IMHO. After that I would suggest Rosemarys baby and Race with the Devil.
