The only movie that ever scared the heck out of me was "The Exorcist".  I was 21 when I saw it and had nightmares about it for weeks afterward.  I could not get the image of Linda Blair's head turning completely backwards out of my mind.  I can watch the movie now and it doesn't bother me.

 

No movie before or since has effected me the same.  The 2 latest so-called scary movies I have seen, "It Follows" and "The Babadook", weren't scary to me at all.

Not a movie but BBC's Ghostwatch scared the crap out of me back then when it was broadcast on Halloween night, had to go to sleep with the light on for a few years after that. It was also banned for a while until it came out on DVD http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghostwatch

When I was younger, The Thing scared the hell out of me. It's such an atmospheric film. Absolute classic. To me it's far superior to Alien.

 

Today there's very little that actually scares me. But that's probably just part of growing up. Some of those 80's/early 90's horrors were quite disturbing for a kid. I remember being afraid to sleep after watching Cat's eye's "The General" (the third story) where that troll thing kept trying to steal that little girl's breath. It seems quite tame now though.

Probably an old grade B movie called "I Spit on Your Grave". It was very disturbing because the movie was about a woman's revenge on each of the individuals who had gang-raped her in the first part of the movie.

my list of most scary;

event horizon & mirrors are the only ones i can think of.

the video log and most of the creepy scenes throughout, for mirrors the bit with the women in the changing room.

i recently watched the exorcist for the first time and thought it was ok, not scary, was like watching the enfield haunting with a girl swearing a lot in a rough sounding voice.

This is going to sound like a really weird answer, but when I left the theater after Mars Attacks!, I was completely petrified of the skeleton zapping gun rays. That and everything else just... god no.

    • Google's new hand-wave reCAPTCHA can be bypassed with a stock photo

      By Ivan Jenic · Posted

      Google's new hand-wave reCAPTCHA can be bypassed with a stock photo by Ivan Jenic Image: Screenshot Google is testing a new reCAPTCHA method that asks you to wave at your camera to prove you're human. So, besides solving puzzles and reading distorted text, you can now use your computer’s camera to pass the verification test. When the hand gesture verification is triggered, your browser asks for camera access and prompts you to perform a simple gesture, like a wave or an open palm. Google says it records a short video of the movement and uses AI to extract 21 hand-knuckle coordinates to complete the verification process. The video is then immediately deleted, and Google swears it doesn't keep it. The process alone can be uncomfortable for people who wouldn’t want their biometric data, which hand scans technically qualify as, recorded. But it gets even more nuanced, as early testers discovered that the new hand-waving reCAPTCHA can be passed with a simple stock image. A user on X tested the new challenge using a stock image of a hand fed through OBS Virtual Camera, and it passed. I wanted to verify it, so I tried the same thing. It took me a few tries and a few stock images, but in the end, I was also able to pass the test. I simply had to readjust the stock image of a generic person waving inside OBS, and Google’s mechanism registered it as a legitimate hand gesture. Once again, it didn’t even have to be a video or an AI-generated hand animation. Given the simplicity of the process, the entire action can be automated in minutes. All it takes is a simple Python script to render the new reCAPTCHA method obsolete. And it doesn’t even have to be an AI bot, which is usually used for solving puzzles and other verification methods. The new reCAPTCHA method is still in its early phase, and Google will, hopefully, update its AI to at least reject still images. However, this incident, combined with users’ initial skepticism about Google’s practices regarding user data, likely won’t make too many people wave at the camera anytime soon.

      Apparently not. I know it is on Edge for business at the moment, but how long will it be before it become on the home version of Edge?

    • This Dell 27 inch 4K 120Hz IPS monitor is really cheap after a very long time

      By Malisk · Posted

      I have this one and it's great, also paired with a Mac. I like the white back aesthetics of it and ability to have all your wireless usb peripherals under a clean lid. 4K @ 120 Hz and 65W usb-c charging is not bad even at its typical price point. The U series is probably better for commercial photo work though; IIRC one reason this one is priced in a different bracket is because it's not calibrated and verified for optimal color accuracy. Not something I think of in daily use, coding, and light gaming though.
