What was the scariest movie you ever saw?

[highflyerlaura]

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.....

^^LOL, but yeah, I vote for that one too.

I LOVE scary movies though! I have to agree with the above poster(s) that blood and gore don't scare me, but the psychological/religious type stuff scares the crap out of me.

I must also say when that little dayum boy says 'redrum' in The Shining I scream every time, lol.

Last House on the Left.

Halloween. Couldn't sleep for a couple of days after I first saw it...and the movie pretty much ended my babysitting career.

The Birds
Poltergeist (sp?)
only saw bits and pieces of the Exorcist-would not watch the whole thing-eek
Salem's Lot
I have never watched a Friday the 13th and have only seen one nightmare on elm street
I don't like scarey movies

It was the "The Shining" until I saw "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre"

All of you who say that you can handle sick movies should see this, and then say if you'll ever see a horror movie again!

I just finished watching this, and I'm scared to eat because I might throw up. It's that sick. Not not jump-out-your-seat fear, but sickening. Oh my gosh I can't watch that again.

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.
