Paranormal Activity. Gimmick? Sure, though when I saw it I was in the mood and any film that manages to make hearing footsteps scary deserves applause.

Beyond that, I kinda feel I'm wandering into horror / psychological territory, on that front try Perfume: The Story of a Murderer

I thought Paranormal Entity was pretty good compared to Paranormal Activity movies but still wasn't that scary. I don't tend to get scared at movies but I did jump a few times at The Descent 1 & 2. Also thought that The Uninvited was a very good horror because it was pretty clever and had a fantastic twist plus it stayed away for the complete gore shows that most "horrors" of recent years have turned out to be.

I was pretty damn scared back in the school days when I first saw Evil Dead 2.

Could the movie you're looking for be Long Time Dead?

Blair Witch Project scared the crap out of me when i watched it the first time (i was a 5th grader, so that had to do something with it too )

The Thing, with Evil Dead a runner-up

OMG! YEEEEEEEEEEEES! This is the one I was looking for. This is the movie that really scared the **** outta me back then.

Thanks man!

The Shining, original and in the theater when my parents took us along as kids. Just wow.

I have to agree with others though, in my book The Thing is probably just as freaky as The Shining...ugh I don't know they are the only two that have freaked me out.

Oh, and the original Jaws in the theater back in the day - saw it while on vacation somewhere and I remember not going into deep water (that I couldn't see the bottom of anyway) for YEARS after that. I still would rather let a surfboard get away from me than chase it out too far if we get separated.

The one movie that scared the **** out of me as a kid was: Stephen Kings "IT".
Man that clown was scary as hell.

Movies don't scare me, but The Ring and The Grudge did get the blood pumping a bit.
But after Scary movie 3 i just laugh my ass of when i see The Ring lol

Yep... This movie is one of the craziest I have ever seen. Impressive.

The Exorcist: Director's Cut is also VERY scary.

Fire in the Sky....I watched that when I was a kid and couldn't sleep right for weeks.....I would just keep peeking out the window to see if aliens were coming for me

Wouldn't be one of the Wishmater movies would it? Kinda sorta sounds like it. (3? I forget, been ages.)

Probably seeing the original Alien in the theaters for me. But I was literally a little girl at the time who was snuck in by an older relative.. so cut me some slack Nothing has made me jump since like that one did.

Lucky! I was 4 in 1979 and always wanted to see Alien in the theater. I watched Aliens first in 86, I think. That was by far the scariest movie I saw, but I went to the theater in 2004 to see the 25th anniversary of Alien and it was awesome on the big screen. I still jump when Dallas is crawling through the vents, turns and sees the Alien there. *shivers*

Paranormal Activity. It's such a crap movie honestly, but there was something about it that still actually haunts me to this date sometime....

Also scary for me, but for completely other reasons, was 127 Hours. I'm normally fine with seeing splatter movies, however once that dude started chopping his forearm off with a blunt multitool knife I was just about to faint!
