What Movie REALLY scared you?

ringbearer · 11-02-2005, 10:03 PM

Not startled you...but made you scared to turn the lights out after watching it...no GORE/SLASHER movies please...Creepy scary is what I'm after...

tolkienfan · 11-02-2005, 11:46 PM

Well, I don't watch too many scary movies, but I just watched The Shining and that was pretty scary (the book was scarier though) When I was younger Jumanji scared me a lot.

brownjenkins · 11-03-2005, 11:27 AM

the shining... the scariest movie i've ever seen (for books, probably pet sematary a bit more than the shining)

the original alien was pretty scary too... it had a good bit of gore, but it was more than just that

The 1963 "The Haunting of Hill House", scared me more than the orignal Dracula and that was no mean feat....I can't watch its repeats or similar movies since.

Insidious Rex · 11-03-2005, 02:21 PM

Ôdishon. I defy anyone to watch this movie and not be disturbed enough to contemplate not finishing it. Its about as extreme as films get.

As for pure scare value what about Psycho? Agree whole heartedly with the Shining. Thats just a brilliantly well done film that leaves you feeling creeped out for hours.

BeardofPants · 11-03-2005, 03:42 PM

Holy crap, IRex, that movie was ****ing creepy. What did she keep saying to him? Something like tinky-tinky-tinky? Eeeeep.

And speaking of asian horror...

The original ringu movie, theres something freaky about psychotic asians - mebbe it's cos they look different or summit, but she was waaaay scarier than the american psychotic.

*Agree with The Shining, and Alien

Don't listen to my little brother here, he'd pee his pants over Never Ending Story

Jurassic Park scared me when I was younger. When I watched the Sixth Sense in theaters I was terrified...

The taking-out-heart-part (as me and my siblings call it) is really gross and scary, and after a few views, I just couldnt watch it anymore. I always fast forward that part now.

Yes, the Shining definitely, or what I saw of it (I don't remember it, at any rate, except being scared), and The Others. And when I was like four, Jurassic Park.

Jabberwock · 11-07-2005, 12:08 AM

This will sound absolutely stupid but Mr Mom scared the pants off me. I must explain. When I was about 10 I went to a birthday party and we watched Mr Mom and then later we watched some bloody, deranged zombie/cannibal movie we weren't suppose to watch and somehow during the night my overactive imagination meshed the two movies such that I had nightmares about a maneating vacuum cleaner for months after that. I'm over it now and I can even vacuum the floor without any ill effects.

Bombadillo · 11-07-2005, 01:57 AM

LOL!

The Shining was alright. Overall it didn't scare me so much, but that was probably because I had already seen all the famously scary scenes from it ("Here's Johnny!" and the blood splashing down the hall). But yeah, I still don't think any other movie has creeped me out with just one part: when the man in the kitchen says "Ya want some ice cream, Sport?" It wasn't even that weird, it just... blew my mind. I don't know how to explain it. I wanted to yell. I was thoroughly freaked out. Then the rest of the movie was mediocre.

*shudder* I've got the jeeblies.

Watership Down, when I was young. The General.. *shivers* I can still see myself sitting at home, in front of the television. Parents had gone out and the neighbour was baby sitting me but then she went to get something at home and I was alone in the dark. I think I must have sat there for at least 10 minutes just looking at the snow on the TV, too afraid to move an inch or the big rabbit that no doubt hid behind my seat would attack me.

For the rest I tend to avoid scary movies. Too vivid imagination. Never a good combination.

The first Tremors, I was only about 6 or 7 when I first saw it and the giant, mutated, man-eating earthworms freaked me out. For several years afterwards I felt uneasy when not standing on rock or cement and had nightmares about being chased by those things. Ick.

Strangely enough I didn't sevelop of fear of normal earthworms. Funny how fear works...

Godzilla used to cause occaisional nightmares too, and those were worse because I always preferred the movies in which Godzilla was the protective monster, so when he was evil in the nightmares there was always a sense of confusion and betrayal.
