I'm thinking it might be 'Stir of Echos' for me. The part on the couch gave me a scare that made my hair stand on end.

 

the first Jeepers Creepers was scary too, they did a good job building and anxiety.

Candy Man

 

First time I saw it was in 6th grade, my mom got me out of school early to go see it in theatres the day it came out (yeah were kinda odd about scary movies). Well to this day I cant be in the bathroom with the lights off., and here at work we have the bathroom lights on timers, and during my first week I had them shut off on me twice!

 

you really need to see the movie in theatres or with awesome surround sound, his voice is so bassy I remember it scaring me any time he spoke!

and stir of echoes and jeepers creepers!?

Come on, man! you're {censored}in up!

Just for the "make you jump" factor, thats all. At least its not arachnophobia! I thought that was a comedy!

 

 

 

 

PS- Anything that makes ghosts all spastic and jerky like Stir of Echos and the Grudge freak me out.

Well this may seems weird... but really the only movie that was kind of scary i've ever seen was signs or the village.

 

Modern horror movies aren't scary at all. It's just a gross face pops out of nowhere or suddenly someone jumps out from the shadows. That's not scary, that's just surprising. I could walk into a room with the lights off, flick them on and see tons of my friends shout happy birthday, that doesn't scare me, it surprises me.

 

Signs and the village on the other hand, made me feel very uneasy. It's really all a mind thing for me. The part that makes it scary isn't what happens on screen, but what I think about while it's happening. That's really being scared if you ask me.

 

I'm sure any exorcism movie would terrify me though... I haven't seen any and don't intend to.

 

The Ring movies suck.

+1 The Village was great. I think its the fact that it could really happen. That adds alot. Jason and Freddy on the otherhand, once a killer becomes undestructable, its not realistic or scary anymore.

:D
Funny thing is I'll pick a spider any day of the week so it's not that I'm afraid of them.

 

Haha Arachnophobia, I thought that was a comedy! The Ring seriously spooked me out tho :eek:

Supernatural horror movies don't really scare me. There's always a fantastical element, a sci-fi feeling, that makes it all to easy to think... this could never happen.

 

 

However, the ones that really freak me out are the psychological thrillers, where the killer is a real person, and there is a believable chance that the events could really occur.

 

The other thing that often gets passed off as horror is gore/slasher movies. To me these are not "horror" per se, just gross. I can appreciate a good one, like "high tension" or " ichi the killer", but they are not "scary" as much as violent, disturbing, and gross.

 

 

One that freaked me out when i first saw it, and still gives me the creeps is "NightWatch" with Ewan McGregor and Nick Nolte and Josh Brolin. They did a really good job of creating a real sense of dread throughout the whole movie, and really makes you think, what would I do if that was me?

Motel Hell was fantastically bad, and equally funny because of it.

Motel Hell is as obscure as it gets. I loved that movie when I was a kid, kinda made me hungry for good smoked meat. It takes all kinds of critters to make farmer Vincents fritters.

The Exorcist is scariest for me, it's the one movie that makes me feel uneasy from beginning to end with no breaks, with some of the scariest moments ever. Although the movie is extremely well made, I don't find it entertaining at all, I just find it hard to watch.

 

 

The original Psycho still manages to send a chill down my spine. The setting is great, the house is creepy as hell (something missing in today's films), Hitchcock's direction is fantastic, the shower scene is still creepy.

And there's one scene in the film that has affected me and I'll give you a hint: whenever I walk up a flight of stairs at night I'm always afraid that someones going to pop out of one of the rooms at the top with a knife.

 

 

 

Suspiria is flawed but creepy as hell, the wonders of an unsettling soundtrack and bizarre setting.

 

 

The Changeling scared the crap out of me, something about the ghost of a little boy in a wheelchair just doesn't sit well with me. Little kids can be creepy, I don't like Sadako in Ringu either, with her slumped over gait and hair over her face, and the way she clawed her self out of the tv...creepy. I would hate to walk in to a room and see her standing there on the other side looking at me through her hair.

I also don't like the 2 little twin girls in the Shining, and the way he directed the scene with the kid riding around on the big wheel through the hotel set it up perfectly.

Little creepy kids suck, and I find body contortions extremely unnerving as well (eg. Spiderwalk and other stuff in Exorcist).

 

 

Invasion of the Body Snatchers also makes me paranoid as hell. It's inspired alot of nightmares for me, where everyone around me seems to be changing and I'm trying to run and hide.

 

I'm sure there's others.

The original one got me...I hate that kid music. Exorcism of Emily Rose wasn't all that. It was a lawyer movie.
