Was it anything like the one that just came out? Because that movie was a waste of how ever much I paid for to see it.

LOL @ shinerbock for brokeback mountain.

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.

The Hills Have Eyes was scary. Especially the background music.

I live in an area that is very hilly. HC I SPEED past the hills at night singing at the top of my voice to distract my from looking at the hills and possibly seeing "eyes"

As a rule, movies don't really scare me but sometimes one surprises me.
The one that I thought had the most unexpected ending was a German made version of Dracula shot back in the 1960s which featured all of the old Hammer Films stars like Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee but was shot in German language. I saw this in Germany when I was on Army duty there inbetween undergrad and Law School. In this version you have the old Priest visiting on a short vacation from Rome to his native village where he stays at his brothers inn. His neice, predictably, is Dracula's target. The story line follows the attempts by Dracula to get to the neice, and the old priest's efforts to stop him. The impact of the ending pretty much assumes that the audience is Catholic in order to get the full understanding of what happens and why the reaction is so intense. As the film approaches its culmination Dracula decides that he needs to get rid of the priest so he can get to the neice. You see the usual mist slipping under the door of the priest's room and then Dracula materializes to confront him. The old priest is reading his Breviary (book of daily prayers and commentary on which to meditate) when he realizes who has just shown up. Dracula asks him, "you know who I am?" "Yes", he answers. "And you are not afraid", says Dracula with a sneer. "No, not really" the priest answers. "Then you must be very brave or very foolish" The priest closes and puts down his book, rises and looks directly at Dracula and says, "my dear count, I know who and what you are, but it is obvious that you have no idea who I am". Again sneeringly Dracula says, "and who are you little priest?" Almost pityingly the priest says quietly but firmly, "I am the Father General of the Jesuits!" Dracula recoils in terror, staggers back and the picture fades and rolls to credits. If you are Catholic you realize that just about the last person on earth Dracula would want to confront is the one he unknowingly chose to take on. The audience, an obviously Catholic crowd in Bavaria, went wild laughing and cheering. Not at all the ending I was expecting but great fun.

Same here- it is the movies that mess with your mind that get me.

"The Nanny" would have to be my #1. It is a Bette Davis film in which she plays a mentally disturbed nanny in a home with a mentally disturbed boy. It is one of her lesser-known films, but quite chilling.

This film will absolutely terrify you.

I love that movie,

"TAAAKKE YOOOOOOOOOOUR HAAAAAANDS OFFFFFF THAT!"

Definitely an awesome twist ending too. Did Olivia DeHavilland ever play a "bad guy" in any other movie? She was not originally cast in that role (Joan Crawford walked off the set during the original filming), but given her snow white screen persona she was the perfect one to turn out to be the unexpected evil character.

That's my favorite movie of all time.

Oh and there are sicker mofos that have existed.. if anyone feels like getting really grossed out, check out Albert Fish.

There's a rumor that he had to be shocked twice in the electric chair because he had stuck so many needles into his body for pleasure.

Sorry I'm kind of obsessed with reading about serial killing. Haha.

Oh, yeah! LOVE that movie!! The first time I watched it, I was in 7th grade and had to for my creative arts class. We were studying the history of movie makeup and special effects... gotta love that head!

I read a book about him. He was a total monster. There was an picture of an Xray taken of his abdomen (genitals included) that showed all the needles he put into his body.

Total sick bastard who I still hope he is rotting in hell.

I'm the exact same way! I had nightmares for weeks after watching The Grudge. :P But blood & gore don't bother me at all.

I had nightmares for a week because of that movie.

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.'
