Scariest movies of all time

1. The Woman In Black

-scared the living crap out of me when i saw it. can't
remember much from it, but it's about this person who gets
haunted by this old ugly woman. imdb.com: "the mother of all
hauntings"

2. The Blair Witch Project.

-i know a lot of guys that really HATES this movie. but i
must admit that got really scared. but you have to see it
alone, otherwise it doesn't work.

3. The Shining

-murder.

4. The Exorcist

-still a great movie, only wished that i'd saw it when it
first came out.

1. Silence Of The Lambs
2. The Blair Witch Project (ending was fucking scary)
3. The Shining (i guess even though it was nothing compared
to the book)

The Exorcist was a great gross out comedy. Supoib, but
didn't see it all.

My favourite horror though would be The Thing. Completely
over-the-top and disturbing. I loved every gore-fuelled
minute.....oh right.....SCARIEST....can't help you there.

House On Haunted Hill was kinda freaky in parts =os

Ring was good too, I'm dreading what it's gonna be like once
it's been zapped by Hollywood though

arachnaphobia (sp?)

i know it wasn't all that great. But in real life i am
terrified of spiders... so this movie was like my worst
nightmare come to life or something... very disturbing.
Especially when of the first scenes... when they pick up the
dead spider and put it in a jar... and than it turns out it
isn't actually dead! oh my! I froze in my seat!

Also Pet Cemetary, 1st Poltergeist, even the 1st Child's
Play!

Actually i remember them as being really scary... but
it's been a while since i actually saw them. But when i was
younger and saw them for the first time... oh my god :-p

I agree on the whole Arachophobia thing. Can't stand the
little shits. Shame about the mechanised one at the end,
looked very laughable. And please name me a spider than
squeals. I'm begging you.

Tobe Hooper was a bit ahead of his time on this one me
thinks.

Yes i know... the movie became really absurd in the end.
Don't these movie-makers understand one small spider
creeping up on someone is alot more scary than hundreds of
spiders storming a house :-/

I realise you need a climax to end a film, but still... this
was pure anticlimax... all the tension gone.

But oh well... i still have nightmares about some of the
early scenes in that movie... so it deserves to be mentioned
in this thread :-p

Japanese version, not US, though I haven't seen the US one
yet.

These movies might not scare me now, but they scared me back
then ...

Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1st remake)
Halloween
Silence of the Lambs
Spoorloos (I think this was a Dutch movie, remade into the
inferior USA movie, "The Vanishing")

Spoorloos (I think this was a Dutch movie, remade into
the inferior USA movie, "The Vanishing")


You should read the book! :-o Talk about claustrophobia...
oh my god. The american remake was ridiculous because they
changed the ending :-/ The ending was the best part of the
original book!

The book was called "het gouden ei"... the golden
egg
... but i guess the translation was probably also
called the vanishing. It's by tim krabbé anyway, it's
really short and really scary.

aren't 'het gouden ei' and 'spoorloos' 2 different books by
Krabbé?

anyway, my vote also goes out to blair with project.

title.

the first dutch film version "spoorloos", the second USA

I saw the blair witch project when i taped it off the
television. the movie wasn't scary at all. i watched it all
the way through tense thinking that something scary would
happen (cause of all the ads saying it and stuff and from
people)...but nothing did. i watched as everything between
the people fell apart...everything was. it wasn't until the
end that made me go 'whoa'....but the real scar didn't come
until sometime after the movie itself that i finally caught
on to why the guy was standing like that in the corner. i
was very scared after that...very.

why was he standing there then? I never understood that
ending...

(the rest of the movie was ok... i liked how they built up
the tension... but the ending was real sudden, and i didn't
understand it.)

serious? you didn't catch on?

i can't remember fully, but it went like something the witch
would take kids and one had to stand in the corner while the
witch did someting nasty to the one he / she was killing.
there were stories told by people how the kids did that.

at the end you hear screaming right? and the guy is trying
to find the girl and the guy....and he searches calling out.


he goes into the basement and sees the the guy standing in
the corner....he drops his camera....get it?

ok.....so i have not seen everyone's scarest movies...so
this is based on just what i've seen!

i'm interested in seeing 'the haunting' and the 50's version
of 'the thing'

darn Q stole two of mine =0)

- alien
- invasion of the body snatchers (70's)
- the thing (80's done by Carpenter
- halloween
- aracnaphobia (FREAK OUT!!)
- spiders (dunno 70's i think....i couldn't sleep the night
i saw it-do not light the eight legged beasties)
- the ring Japanese first/American second!
- the silence of the lambs
- the night of the scarecrow (old tv movie that almost made
me pee my pants)

there were some scary movies i saw when i was really
young....i love scary stuff....but i don't remember the
name...couldn't watch the whole thing etc....but they were
scary!!

Amonbrune, an even scarier possibility is that whoever is
holding the camera is being held by the back of the neck and
forced down into the basement.

I thought there were only two alive at that point, the girl
holding the camera and the guy in the basement. We hear the
girl screaming as the cold dead talons of the witch close
around the back of her neck...

If I ever see it again I'll take notes.

It would be worth seeing again under the right conditions...
Halloween night in a graveyard on a laptop with a DVD player
maybe.

The scenes where somethings messing with their tent at night
creeped the fuck out of me. Reminded me of when I was
bicycle camping in New Hampshire and alone in a tent. There
was a low creeping mist over the ground at night and I was
too scared to go out to pee... I took a leak through the
doorway of the tent hoping that any Lovecraftian elder gods
in the area had their pee-sensors turned off for the night.

Anyone seen "The Amityville Horror"

I saw that when i was 9 and wanted to leave the room, but my
dad wouldn't let me. You know, just to toughen me up a bit!

It's the only film that's ever shit me up that much - i
guess it's cos it's meant to be real. haven't seen it since
though so i guess it might not be so bad

Blair Witch was lame.. boring, and The Exocist was boring
too.

The shining was pretty cool but not really scary. No movies
really creep me out. The ones that ever did were Session 9 a
little, it was totally the shit, but not scary, cause I only
got scared by movies when I was really young.

About this Blair With Project ending...

It was to do with (thanks to sis for pointing this out) a
story told by one of the locals near the beginning. He talks
about that child killer that lived in some alienated house
that got the kids to stand in the corner and not to face
him, because he couldn't stand them looking at him. You
see?? Huh?? Do ya??

The Haunting is indeed a VERY scary film, the bit where the
'thing' is pounding at the door is pretty fucking
terrifying.

Alien, deffo the first time i saw it, in a caravan oark when
i was about 9 or 10.

RIng, nah i thought it was a bit shit to be honest, slightly
ridiculous in parts actually, some OK bits but deffo NOT
worth the accolades and hype that has been bestowed upon
it.

Texas Chainsaw - fucking amazing film, scary, excellent sfx
soundtrack and amazing camerawork, also very funny as well,
my wife had terrible nightmares for weeks after seeing this
film, soopoib.

any of those video nasty zombie flicks way back in theday
when an 11 year old could rent them, scary in an 11 year old
'my mind is messed up know' kinda way.

by the way fleetmouse, who is that foxy chick on yer avatar,
please dont tell me its actually you and in actual fact i am
a closet homo, and its not a chick at all. 8¬D
