What is the scariest movie you've watched?

[Amarok]

The Grudge. Nothing since that has scared me. I can't believe how much that movie creeped me out, but subsequent viewings weren't so bad.

I watched The Exorcist while on student exchange in Italy (10th grade, not long before my 16th birthday). I didn't understand half of what was said, but the visuals scared the **** out of me.

I was forced to watch is before I was even in elementary and I was traumatized for years, lol. So much so, that nothing else ever scared me. Isn't she effin' creepy looking?

Hard to separate Horror from Chiller. Though were I to omit overt horror (i.e. gore) then;

Paranormal Activity

Absolutely no budget, but the atmosphere in it trumped everything else. Who would have though that the sound of slowly stomping footsteps could be so terrifying?

Expanding things a bit;

The Thing

The Fly

The Mist

Seven

Hellraiser

Pan's Labyrinth

Perfume

Alien

Martyrs

Haute Tension

(I've not seen Audition!)

When I was a kid I watched

I could not sleep for days thinking about it.

Threads was better. Time to time I go back and watch it. Dont ask me why

[Lord Nite]

Although there aren't any movies that really scare me, one does give me the willies after watching it: Arachnaphobia.

While the movie isn't really scary, it turns up my spider fear a few notches for a couple of hours. I remember the first time I watched it, I stayed awake for 2 hours, wrapped in a blanket, constantly scanning the room for spiders. It still happens to me, to this day, whenever I watch it although not as long anymore.

I saw The Fly when I was 8. That film has scarred me of life.

[Shaun N.]

Nightmare on Elm St when I was PreTeen

Insidious recently

REC, the original, has to be one of the scariest movies I've seen. Event Horizon is up there (thanks to whoever said that one, now I'm replaying it in my head).

Yeah, I saw that one too and It's pretty scary what the destructive side of human kind can do.

Event Horizon - first day we hooked up the 5.1, watched it late at night.

No other movie since then has scared me/freaked me out. :/

[Sir Topham Hatt]

Event Horizon! I haven't seen that in years!

Scary but more entertaining is Ghost Ship (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0288477/) (although only 5.3 in IMDB, I really like it!).

But topping the scary list for me is Dead Silence (Dead"]http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0455760). 6.0 on IMDB, but it's about a ventriloquist and her dummies. That's pretty scary.

Sorry I couldn't make the links nice but whatever format I type, it makes them crappy.

The howling. Werewolf movies freak me out.

[Vice]

Jesus Camp.

I agree with Event Horizon. It terrified me in the theater. But later when I watched it, it was not nearly as scary.

[medium_pimpin]

Jesus Camp.

Agreed. Freaky.

The first 2 Hellraiser movies, possibly as I watched them when I was 12-13. First one had the better plot but the second one was scarier:

My fav John Carpenter horror, The Prince of Darkness:

[techbeck]

Dont really find movies scary these days. They are just bloody and full of gore which is not scary. Plus, movies are to predictable as well so its hard to be scared when you know what is going to happen.

[Halfalive]

The Exorcist is one of the scariest I think, but Freaks is a good one. The movie is weird and the atmosphere it develops gives me the creeps.

[notta]

Halloween without a doubt. You should make a poll on this one.

[Dinggus]

Nightmare on Elm Street, Chucky, Halloween, Friday The 13th gave me nightmares for years when I was a child. Now, nothing is really scary.

[JMcClainMI]

Hmm movies really do not scare me but I would have to guess it would be Event Horizon, great dark sci-fi movie.

[alphaomegainfinity]

The Exorcist. The scene where Linda Blair does a spider walk down the stairs freaked me up when I watched for the first time.

[fix-this!]

Ghost hunters...its soo painfully fake yet popular it scares me.

[Allan]

Justin Bieber ... Brittany Spears ... Lindsay Lohan ... those movies all scare the hell out of me. :D
