Keeping the spirit of Holloween, I would like to know what's horror movie
terrorfyed you the most. Is it a classic chiller (Dracula, Frankenstien, The
Mummy ect), a slasher flick, (A Nightmare on Elm Street, Friday The 13th,
Holloween ect ) a psychological tale, (Silence of The Lambs, Gothika, Jacob's
Ladder,) A Novel adaptation, (The Exorcist, Phantoms, Salem's Lot ) a forien
inport (The Grudge, The Ring, Nightwatch,) A Modern Hit, (Scream, Saw, Slither)
or something else intirely? What Scary movie's your top Choicee? How did you did
discover it? What scene freaked you out the most?
I have seen the scariest movie in the world. It has brutal graphics, like you
have no idea how it is so damn realistic, and people die in brutal ways.I wasn't
allowed to watch it but i sneaked and watch it while my parent weren't home.
I guess Saw 2 was pretty scary, especially because you see what the people are
being put through. The tension was too much for me when I saw it, I couldn't
wait for the ending! And the plot twists of the series are impecably done.
By the way, Rob Zombie directed 2 movies, "House of 1000 Corpses" (and
I agree it is very scary, not for the
faint of heart!) and "The Devil's Rejects", a sequel to House of 1000
Corpses.
For me it's definitely Tales from the Hood, I'm just watching this movie and it
still gives me chills and the twist near the end scared the S@$# out of
me!

here' s a plot summary from IMDb.
When three drug dealers (Samuel Monroe Jr., Joe Torry, and De'aundre Bonds) are
called to a funeral parlor to collect a stash of drugs, they are greeted by the
creepy, eccentric Mr. Simms (Clarence Williams III), who proceeds to tell them
four moralistic tales of terror regarding the deceased who lie in his parlor.
The first tale concerns a man murdered by crooked police officers (Tom Wright)
and the officer who begins hearing his voice from beyond the grave (Anthony
Griffith) to avenge his death. The second story deals with a boy named Walter
(Brandon Hammond), the monster who torments him (David Alan Grier), and the
teacher who realizes that something is wrong (Rusty Cundieff). The third story
deals with a white supremacist running for governor (Corbin Bernsen) who lives
in an old house with a history of racial violence and who refuses to heed the
warnings of the supernatural presence that occupies it. Finally, the fourth
story deals with a career criminal (Lamont Bentley) who agrees to undergo a
horrific behavioral modification program overseen by a government-employed
scientist (Rosalind Cash). The stories each become gradually scarier as Mr.
Simms go on and as the drug dealers begin to lose their patience, until they are
ultimately given what they have come for - and find that there is something much
more evil to the funeral home than they ever realized.
B. Witch Project 2. It's the one. Why ? Well me and my dad couldn't watch it at
12 AM... We had to w8 untill the next day, and try it while the sun was on the
sky
Scary Movie 1. Lol no, the scariest movie I seen is 100% The Exorcist. I
couldn't sleep for weeks! Than again Jason X nearly made me to puke! But Dracula
(classic)? Nah, It was even a bit funny.
I am not a big fan of scary movies, if i ever want to watch a scary movie it
would have to be in the daytime, with the lights on and a big blanket to cover
my head. and yes i am a scary cat. anyways the movie that i saw in the dark
right before i went to bed was the B. Witch Project. that movie scared the
living day life out of me.
Texas Chainsaw Massacre... the 2003 version, not the old one. Damn that movie
was creepy. Seriously, the ending scene nearly made me soil my underdaks.
Alright, this may not be scary at all, but it really scared me when I was a
child. If I'm not wrong the title is "The Ultimate Disaster Movie"
with Mr Bean sneezing on the famous Whistler's Mother painting and ruining it.
Until today, seeing the painting just gives me the creeps.
"Suspiria" by Italian director Dario Argento. I guess it would be
qualified as a 'supernatural slasher.' The first ten minutes of the movie
contain one of the freakiest death sequences I've ever seen.
...also...
"Cape Fear" Take your pick, both the original (with Robert Mitchum)
and the remake (with Robert DeNiro) are equally chilling. It's about an ex-con
who terrorizes the family of the lawyer who failed to keep him out of prison.
The freakiest scene is in the remake: the villian brutalizes his victim (a young
woman) by twisting her arm to the breaking point, and then biting off her
cheek...all before beating her to a pulp.
...Lastly, there is the recent gorefest, "Hostel." Eli Roth has gained
a reputation with the degree of gore in his films (i.e. Cabin Fever), but this
film pushes it. Not to sound rude, but anyone who doesn't have some kind of
reaction to what happens in this movie should have their head checked.
HAHAHAHAHA! Especially if you went with your best friend to watch it.
Horror and comedy are the two most devaluated genres in the movies. Is difficult
to find good ones.
And there are opnes that are good and I didn't like, as "The Ring".
But I can't deny it was one of the best conceived, acted and directed.
I like old (and not so old) school:
1. The Exorcist
2. Alien
3. The Shrine
4. Coppola's Dracula
5. The Ring
6.Coppola's Frankestein

Yeah, I forgot The Blair Witch Project. I think it didn't came to my mind
because the 2nd dissapointed me so much.
Whanna get really scaried?
Read H.P. Lovecraft tales. Not all of course. Because he had a long life (well,
not long, he died of cancer, but enough to write many stories) he had some bad
tales at the beggining and the end of his career.
Lovecraft created and ended a whole new genre in horror: the cosmic horror. No,
it's not prescily about aliens. Lovecraft it's only second to E.A. Poe, and
after reading him you'll want to trow all your Stephen King books to the
garbage
Read:
1. Pickman's model
2. The call of Chutulchu (whatever that's written)
3.The color out of space
4.The Red Wood Horror
5. The strange case of Charles Dexter Wrigth
6. The Dunwich Horror (not so good, but for starters)
7. The Hound
8. The messenger at the portal
9. The Horror museum
10. Under the piramids
That's but a few of the good ones that I could recall.
One advice: don't believe that a book such as Lovecraft's
"Necronomicon" exists. It never did. It was Lovecraft's invention, and
he told so during all his life, but none of his reader's believed him. Some
satanist wanted to gain some money (like painter Giger) and took some
Lovecraft's lines and mixed it with garbage from Anton Lavey. The result are
evil hybrids. Don't feel tempted, they'll only fool you.
1) Texas Chainsaw Massacre, my friend saw it too and now hes scared to go to
Texas, and my friend Aris is moving there next yr..
2) Saw III, I saw the previews for it and thought, 'its not gonna be scary', and
it was to me, haha
::others::
3) The Grudge/Grudge 2, that movie...was just..plain stupid..(to me atleast...)
I didn't really understand it, and I wasn't screaming or anything at any
scenes..
4) The Exocist, I didn't think that movie was scary either, just, iono...I
didn't get it lol
5) Freddy Cougar, I was scared to sleep the night I saw them all (it was a
marathon on a few yrs ago ) and
I was afraid to sleep cuz I thought I'd be killed in my dreams
6) Pet Cemetary and some other movie (I forgot lol), Pet Cemetary..I was afraid
to have pets cuz I thought they'd come outta the ground and try to kill me (
)
I saw that movie...when I was about, 9 yrs old? and I didn't get another pet
'til I was 11 yrs old..Isn't that sad?

Brokeback Mountain O_O
the one rob zombie directed
The 1st Alien movie.
Shutter-it's one of thailand's horror movie.I suppose it's got the same effect as The Ring(Jap).It's deadly,man.
I guess Saw 2 was pretty scary, especially because you see what the people are being put through. The tension was too much for me when I saw it, I couldn't wait for the ending! And the plot twists of the series are impecably done.

Silence of the Lamb....and any movies by Alfred Hitchcock.

I don't watch scary movies anymore but as a kid the child's play movie's had
scared the crap out of me. That movie was what started me on the path of not
sleeping with a teddy bear anymore
HAHAHAHAHA! Especially if you went with your best friend to watch it.

But Lovecraft's stories are great.
My vote definitely goes to The Ring. There's something about the paranormal and bizarro that gives me the willies.
To tell you the truth, i've never watched any scary moveis in my life....(a little bit embrarassed)...
1) Texas Chainsaw Massacre, my friend saw it too and now hes scared to go to Texas, and my friend Aris is moving there next yr..
2) Saw III, I saw the previews for it and thought, 'its not gonna be scary', and it was to me, haha

'til I was 11 yrs old..Isn't that sad? 
War of the Worlds. o_o; That was some scary stuff.
Or the original Nightmare on Elm Streets, those were scary too.
And IT. x.x
