What is the Scariest Movie You've Ever Seen?

[REmaster]

For me, Jacob's Ladder was one of my favorite movies as a kid, but the only movies that still actually "scare" me are [REC] 2/Dawn of the Dead Remake. Audition is just creepy as fuck and Dog Soldiers is just awesome.

[Scream]

Jacob's Ladder had some great dialogue, made you really think about things - especially the demons/angels thing. Not scary though.. sort of a non-scary version of SH1.

Virginia Madsen at the end of Candyman, burnt and bald, scared the crap out of me! I didn't sleep that night.. and it was Halloween which was always spooky..

Jacob's Ladder.

I was going to mention that movie in my first post... But I changed my mind about it cuz I actually found it very fascinating rather than scary. It was like a very cool Twilight Zone episode.

The only thing I remember about watching "Candyman"... is Virginia Madsen in that tub. And the fact that she reminded me of Dana Scully from the X-Files.

Tony Todd was awesome in that one, though.

[Scream]

Dawn of the Dead original/Candyman - not scary now but saw them when I was around 10 or so.. the first night I watched DotD I remember sleeping with a hot water bottle (not sure why, it was my only time), and I was thinking about those bikers getting ripped apart by the zombies... when I read interviews with Shinji Mikami, his experiences seem quite similar.. seeing humans act like this is obviously not normal.. almost life changing.

Candyman had some creepy ass music and the mirror concept scared the crap out of me for ages.. especially the ending when the woman came back.. damn...

I like this thread. A couple of months ago I was searching the web for this topic.

The french film Martyrs. Pretty much by the end of it I was disturbed. Pretty much the only film I will never rewatch, not because it was bad, but I'd not want to put myself through it. The film is brutal.

I haven't seen Martyrs, but from what I've read the description is pretty nasty. Any movie that involves flaying...but there is something yet more terrifying! A Hollywood remake is in the works, from the Producer of Twilight.

Yeah, I've heard that this film is on the top horrifying list.

Jacob's Ladder.

More psychological than scary, I love this kind of film. Psychological horror at its best. Definitely one of my favorites.

I remember that the 'Faces of Death' flicks were popular in the neighborhood at one time. I didn't find them scary. Just disgusting.

Sick stuff. Not really films. I regret ever knowing about these, and I refrain others from checking them out (I know saying that will make you in all probability check them out).

When I was younger, Chucky from the Child's Play films always scared the heck out of me.

Since I discovered about it being made up years later I was disappointed because I thought it was a really cool dino.

I was disappointed when I found out that velociraptors are actually only about 3 ft tall.. Damn you Stan Winston!

I have no idea what my favorite scary movie is. I watch a lot of them. I'll have to think about it.

Doesn't have to be your favorite, though feel free to share that, just what movie has scared you more than any other.

Jacob's Ladder.

Oh! That was a good one! What a trippy movie! I love the ending.

I saw Pet Semetary when I was little and it scared the shit out of me.

I remember being scared by a woman in that movie.. It wasn't any of the animals or the little boy, but an old woman.. She was freaky. ..

The scariest movie I've seen is Insidious... You might thing is not that scary, but it reminds me when I was 13 and my family and I lived in an apartment when strange things happened...

Haha, was Darth Maul there too? Did you wake up in the middle of the night and hear Tiny Tim music? That would be scary! ..

We saw a lot of horrible things, for example a shadowy figure of someone comitting suicide by jumping off the balcony; spying on us... We also heard things... It was horrible...

Recently, when i talked to my aunt, she told me that a men was killed there... ._.

[Spera01]

Not a horror movie, but when I was a kid I was scared shitless of the Dilophosaur from Jurassic Park.

Hahaha, I had the same reaction to the damn thing. Every time I watched the movie, I'd always fast forward through that part. I love that dino to death now though.

As for the scariest movie I've ever seen? I dunno. The remake of Dawn of the Dead really scared me shitless the first time i saw it. The fact that zombies could run you down scared the shit out of me. I remember there being one scene that was included in both the trailer and the actual film that really creeped me the fuck out. Its when the zombies are entering the mall from the garage, and they're in the stairwell. At one point they stop and just stare for a few seconds at the characters that are at the top of the stairs. When I saw that scene in the trailer, it freaked me out.

As for other movies. I dunno. I'll post back when I think of something.

Also the Paranormal Activity movies made me lose sleep.

The Paranormal Activity movies made me sleep.

I saw the first one because of the hype. Heh, I fell for that. So I rented it and boy... it was like watching c-span. I was like "when is the scary part going to start?". Big waste of my time with that one.

Also I tend to like psychological horror movies rather than slasher films, but I'm not picky. I actually love watching scary films, the adrenaline and anxiety that kicks in is a nice rush.

[I_Am_Nemesis]

Same here. I almost always watch that movie every year during Halloween. It never gets old.



Haha! So were you relieved to find out later that the dinosaur was made up? My parents took me to see that movie, I think I was eleven? They were worried that it would be too violent or scary, and I ended up crying whenever the people killed the dinosaurs, and happy when the dinosaurs ate the people.

Actually the Dilophosaurus ir a real dinosaur, However the whole spitting venomous slime was made up as was the neck frill.

EDIT.
Havnt really been scared by a horror film in a while, but then thats because the only horror films ive seen recently are Hollywood made, although to be fair, one scene in insidious kind of freaked me out.

[Canas Renvall]

Jacob's Ladder.

Yeah, that movie that spurred Konami to make Silent Hill. It's perfect psychological horror, and who else to play a tormented war vet but the always-creepy Tim Robbins? I watched this for my first time when I was 14, in 8th grade, doing my math homework while I watched it on the couch. Needless to say, I was far too distracted to do my work.

Awesome, awesome movie.

[Darkmoon]

I love R-Point! That movie is awesome.

R-point. Amazingly creepy and well done Korean film.
