It's Holloween weekend so, I thought this would be a fun thread. So, what horror film really scared you?

I'm still gonna have to say Paranormal Activity. The first one.

Saw IT when I was 6 (have an older sister who was watching it) and have avoided scary movies ever since.

And clows freak me out as well now

me and my cousins are all around the same age. i can't speak for them, but i never watched it again.

Saw Paranormal Activity the other night, finally gave in. My boyfriend has been trying to get me to see it forever. I'll admit it scared me, but I guess because of the hype I was expecting it to be worse than it was. I don't intend to see the second one, though, because everyone has said it's scarier than the first.

I swear I couldn't finish The Exorcist. I know it's shoddy special effects, old, and a little campy, but it's scarier than any new horror movie I've seen. Or maybe just more disturbing.

I'm great with blood, body parts, axe murderers, no problem. I'm not squeamish. But for whatever reason, ghosts and demons...can. not. handle. that. I've been that person that couldn't sleep for 2 weeks after seeing Emily Rose. I'm willing to bet my sleepless nights from Paranormal Activity aren't over either.

100% agree. I saw The Exorcist for the first time when I was 9, and I made my mom turn it off halfway through and put on Father of the Bride because I was so scared that I needed to watch a happy movie. I've since seen the full movie a few times, but each time I'm terrified so I haven't watched it in years. It's her voice that scares me so much.

My mom and dad saw The Exorcist in theatres when they were first married and living in an apartment in Baltimore. The only bathroom was in the basement, and my mom said she was terrified to go down there by herself and shower after seeing the movie, and she was in her 20s.

Paranormal Activity scared me so much that I won't see the second one, even though I want to. I made my boyfriend wake up in the middle of the night for weeks to turn the bathroom light on for me if I had to get up. He's probably happy I won't let myself watch the second one.

Same as you, I can watch any movie about murders/blood/slasher films, whatever. But the second I see something with ghosts, demons, or anything like that, I act like a baby and am too scared to sleep for weeks.

PLEASE tell me what it is!

I love horror movies. I have taken to international horror movies these days, and I recently saw the original (Spanish) version of Quarantine called REC.

Parts of it actually really scared me!

I'm a wuss as well, don't watch horror movies, even Discovery Channel shows on hauntings freak me out.
Love medical and forensic things though... just the paranormal stuff freaks me out

[Kappamd]

Children of the Corn. Holy. Crap. SCARY!

[moe.ron]

IT, still very uncomfortable around clowns.

House of Wax--the original version. I had nightmares for months.

[KSUViolet06]

I cannot handle anything scary.

My bf recently convinced me to rent/watch The Strangers.

I was terrified of answering the doorbell for weeks.

I don't get "scared" from movies and have nightmares for weeks, but The Strangers was one of the creepiest/most suspenseful movies I've watched. In a lot of scary movies, you can pretty much guess when people are going to jump out or when someone is going to be killed, but in this one, you couldn't. My heart was racing the whole time.

This comes up every year, and I say the same thing: The original version of Last House of the Left. I honestly cannot begin to imagine a worse movie, an d I've been told that the new version is nothing in comparison.

Like Jen, I can handle true crime in all forms, but just can't handle horror movies.
