Scary movies (Just in time for Halloween!)
 

What are your favorite scary movies?

The Omen
Halloween (original one)
Friday the 13th Parts I and II

I always liked the original shining

Me too! I saw an update "where are they now" on VH-1 that showed those spooky twins.

And the book - even scarier!

I also like:

Silver Bullet
Needful Things
Pet Sematary 1
Hellraiser 1&2

Nightmare on Elm Street is a classic, IMO, even though it's not that old. (I saw it when I was a senior in high school so it can't be old, right? Right? RIGHT?????)

Even though it's not scary per se, I love "Hocus Pocus".

The only scary movie that I like is "The Blair Witch Project." And that's probably because it could easily happen in here in WV. We've got a lot of woods, and we've got a lot of creepy, strange people. And plenty of places to hide bodies.

Salem's Lot scared the crap out of me. I still haven't watched the entire original Texas Chainsaw Massacre. :eek:

I like "Signs" which scared me so much I could only see it once-but I've been working up the courage to watch it again since it's almost Halloween. The original "Poltergiest" gets me too-to this day I can't watch it.

The Shining and The Ring.

Plus, the original Scream is always fun to watch around Halloween.

I'll go with The Ring.

The Exorcist III has some unsettling visuals. William Peter Blatty who wrote the original Exorcist wrote and directed this third film. Blatty uses some unusual scare tactics. There is a scene in a church with a quick shot of a statue of Christ. A moment later the same statue is shown again, but only for a second and it looks like the Joker from Batman with a crazy madhouse grin. While it looses something being written out here it is truly frightening.

I do like a good movie scare, but I doubt I would watch Exorcist III again. Nightmares you know.

Salem's Lot is too scary for me to watch. When it first came out, I was with a bunch of friends playing cards while it was on. I had to sit with my back to the tv. The standing joke now when it comes on tv is for some smartass to call me up and say "Wanna play cards tonight?"

I don't like truly scary movies but I do like these 3 Disney movies:

Mr. Boogedy
Bride of Boogedy
Child of Glass (except for the horrendous fake Southern accents)

I liked that movie too.

Other than that... I'm not really into scary movies. I'll watch Halloween-esque comedies though.

Ya'll are making me want to watch "Salem's Lot". Haha. And I still haven't seen the original "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" but I want to. I saw the remake in the theater and spent about half of it with my hands over my eyes (but always peeking through the fingers of course). :p

The Haunting---it's all in your head.....and that's too creepy (or maybe it's just me)(check out the original from 1963)

Psycho---the original, of course

Halloween (the original)
Halloween II (it's pretty scary too)
The Shining
Nightmare on Elm Street (the original b/c all the sequels suck ass)
Signs (always good for a thrill)
Poltergeist (that little girl always creeped me out)
Alien
Silence of the Lambs (psychological scary is good)
Dawn of the Dead (the new one w/Ving Rhames)
Rebecca

I'd say...

-Frailty (absolutely terrifying! :eek: )
-Saw
-Candyman
-Arachniphobia (sp?)
-Dr. Giggles (has anyone else in the world ever seen this or am I the only one??)
-Fallen (soooo creepy)

I knew this guy who was REALLY into horror flicks, and sadly, I saw a few of them. Some were true & I can't remember the names (like Ted Bundy and Manson - both disgusting/disturbing beyond comprehension) and one Last House on the Left (an early Wes Craven film) that will be scorched on my brain forever!!

Has anyone else seen that? Did the woman really do what I think she did to that guy? (Never mind, I just checked IMDB, and she did!

Oh, I did see The Lottery on my own. That's about as spooky as I'll willingly do!

Here's my list:

Pit and the Pendulum ( Vincent Price version )

House of Wax ( again, the Vincent Price version )

Dawn of the Dead ( original )

Dead Alive ( one of Peter Jackson's first movies; not that scary but one of the bloodliest, gore-filled movies you will ever see; make sure you get the Unrated Version )

Evil Dead 1 & 2

Halloween 1 & 2

The Fog ( original )

The Blob ( original )

The Thing ( John Carpenter's 1982 remake )

Invasion of the Body Snatchers ( original and 1978 remake )

The Exorcist ( original )

Damian: Omen 2

Psycho ( Alfred Hitchcock original )

Carrie ( original )

It ( with Tim Curry )

Friday the 13th ( the first one only )

Nightmare on Elm Street ( first one only )

If you couldn't stand to watch the remake (the one with Jessica Beal) then you probably wouldn't be able to watch the Original. The remake is NOTHING compared to the original. I watched the remake and I was bored stiff (and i am always scared of scary movies)...it is soooooo off, the original is MUCH scarier...i can't stand to watch it again. I saw it in 4th grade and thats about the only time i'll watch it!! lol.

I guess it is scarier to me cause it happened in Texas and they still haven't found the guy yet (from what i've heard).

Here's my list:
--The exorcist (the original and III)
--Poltergeist (any of em)
--It (it still scares the poop outta me....the communal shower scene....AHHHH, that scene is the reason i keep my eyes open when i wash my hair!!)
--Pet Cemetary 1 (i didn't like part 2)
--Signs (this one still creeps me out...shit that "home video" from Brazil, with the alien walking past and looking @ the camera....*shivers)
--The Shining.
--Any of the Michael Myers movies (who by the way i always thought was the same person that played Wayne Campbell! :p)
--Nightmare on Elm Street
--Constantine (ok, so its not scary, but its good!)
--Amityville Horror (either one....this remake isn't half bad, it kept me on the edge of my seat and the blanket half covering my eyes)
--White Noise (kinda confusing, but i thought it was good. Makes me wanna get a tape recorder and trying it! lol)
--Scream 1 (i have to agree that it is a good movie to watch around Halloween)


I also have my list of "Don't watch" mainly because they weren't scary...or just plain dumb:
--The Ring
--Darkness
--The Village

I have more, but I can't remember then right now! lol

How could I forget my all time favorite ----> IT.

Another reason on my plentiful list of why I HATE clowns!

I'm not really into scary movies, but the movies that scare the bejesus out of me are:

Stephen King's "IT"
Texas Chainsaw Massacre
