What was the scariest movie you ever saw?

[sdsuchelle]

I don't really get "scared" by movies.. more like disturbed or disgusted.

The worst movie I ever saw was The Hills Have Eyes. It makes me mad to even think about it.. I had to turn away multiple times. House of 1000 Corpses was disgusting as well.

I can handle the blood and disgusting isht.

I absolutely cannot stand movies that totally fcuk up your mind -- The Shining, The Ring, The Grudge, Children of the Corn...etc.

Yeah, I'm pretty much the same. I can take blood and guts. Don't like movies that mess with my mind/soul. I get scared when I watch Halloween, just because I hate how the victims run, Michael Myers can walk and still catch them and hack them up. And I despise The Exorcist, still. Must be my religious guilt or something.

The Exorcist is beyond a doubt the most terrifying movie I've ever seen and I'd never, ever in a million years watch it again. And the version I saw was on network television so I can only imagine what the theatre version was like! {shudder}!

I'm not a wimp about scary movies - bring on Freddie and Michael and Jason and their buddies and I won't bat an eye. But that devil isht scares me!

I second that. For my 16th birthday party, I had four friends sleep over and we rented that movie. We weren't particularly scared...then That Scene came on and we all screamed in unison. (and my dog started barking her head off at the noise!) That's the only scene in a movie that's made me scream like that.

My friend is still disturbed by The Grudge. After we saw it, I would call her at work and just make that noise. She hated me for it.

The movie that gave me nightmares recently was Dawn of the Dead. When I was a kid, it was Jaws.

So far Hostel has been the scariest one that I have seen. I normally don't like scary movies and this one was no different to the others in that regard. The only reason I watched it was because my best friend had gotten it out and I'd have felt guilty if I didn't watch at least part of it with him, esspecially since he was sick at the time as well.

I had nightmares for a week because of that movie.

The list of horror movies I've seen in currently under 5. I have no desire to see them.

I've seen the Exorcist several times, and its never bothered me. But I also watched it in my senior year Theology class back in my (obviously) Catholic HS when we learned about exorcisms.

The one that has scared me the most is the Blair Witch Project. I live in rural Appalchia that is chock-full of strange characters. One of these characters could be doing something quite similar and it wouldn't surprise me.

I will have to give my vote for The Exorcist too. Although I usually find a good ghost story with an inferred haunting far more frightening than the grue. If I want that, I'll read true crime. Many of the slasher characters are based on real true criminals anyway.

The Exorcist - That messed me up for life.....

I take back what I said about being able to handle things disgusting. This movie was horribly grotesque and enough to screw with your mind days after viewing it.

This is the only movie ever that I have turned off. I'm a horror film junkie so that's saying something.

Poltergeist 1,2,3 get my votes as the best/scariest films I've ever seen. They're my absolute favourites and scared the shit out of me. I have a really overactive imagination though. After I saw The Ring...oh jeez. I've seen too many horror movies because occasionally I get really paranoid about being in my parent's house by mself. We have neighbours nearby, but we're set far back enough in the woods that no one would ever know.
The Shining would have been scary except that I saw it for the first time with a bunch of people who kept quoting the Simpsons parody. It loses its impact when the blood flows out of the elevator and someone quips 'that's odd, the blood usually gets off on the second floor.'

Copycat, it scared me because it could happen.
