i liked 'holloween' but thought it was a little empty in the middle


(thanks folks, i'll be here all week)

actually, spelling aside, its not a bad list. one of my favorite all-time books about horror movies, a book called Projected Fears, lists the ten most "influential" horror films - and its almost the same list.

The book's list is:
Dracula
The Thing (1951)
Psycho
Night of the Living Dead
The Exorcist
Texas Chainsaw Massacre
Halloween
Silence of the Lambs
Scream
and, The Sixth Sense

interesting huh?

The Exorcist

Either Ring (the classic japanese version) or The Exorist.

Nosferatu

Agreed, I watch that flick now and it still scares the shit outta me. Great work with shadows in that movie.

Plus anything with long fingers scares the crap outta me... like Pumpkinhead.

ya but I'm not talking about your favorites I'm talking abouit what scared you the most.

Umm......did you not read Zero's post?? He said "one of my favorite all-time books about horror movies, a book called Projected Fears, lists the ten most "influential" horror films - and its almost the same list. " He was saying....aw fuck it, i can seem to put in words what i'm trying to say! BTW, i thought it was interesting,Zero!

^^ Really sinister movie. I saw it on the big screen for film class years ago. The print was completley silent with no music at all quite a weird way to watch it. Amazing on the big screen tho all the same.

The Exorcist tripped me out when I saw it at the theatre when they re-released it. The surround sound was really creepy. It was a midnight screenin and I was WAY stonned.

Halloween 2 had some moments that made me anxious so did The Grudge but I was stonned then too.

I love watchin intense shit when your that lil' bit too toasted. Its a weird parnoid assault on the senses.

I watched Naked Lunch when I was stoned and had to turn it off halfway through cuz it was freakin' me out too much.

Mugwump Jizzum is a scary thing to be faced with when you're ripped :p

Fuckin' aye, somebody else's seen it.

Yeah, the part where they're sucking on em' at the end is just insanity...

I was little scared of The Exorcist at the time just a little bit, but Nightmare on elm street when kruger was chasing tina with his fuck up arms streching and chasing her was freaky :D But for me the most scared film i ever seen was from Invasion of the Body Snatchers where that Dog had a human face. now that's freaky lol

Very tweeked out film. I like it better than the book. Haha I'll probably cop some shit for that any minute now :)

Nah, I didn't like the book that much either. Both the book and movie are confusing, but at least in the movie its put together in a less convaluted way.

Yeh I liked how the film was kinda a insight into the writing of the book. I really enjoyed his book Junkie tho.

thanks my lovely and literate friend!

woot

That movie was more creepy then it was scary for me. I always thoght it was creepy how like he looked with his eyes 1st then his head sorta follow's

His teeth have always weirded me out.

yea, there all like crooked and wierd. He has that like weird coat on the goes around his neck.

Yes, Max Schreck (sp?) definitely was a creepy character in that film. Anyway, from the list there, I suppose Audition is the only one that really creeped me out, although there were moments from the rest that I found a little tense or scary. It's very rare for a film to actually freak me out very much. Not sure why.

You become kinda desensitised to them after awhile, as a kid horror movies scared me more after watching them than during.
I think my imagination turned them into something more scary than they actually were. I had a few sleepless nights after watchin stuff my brother and sister got out as kid :D

none of those really scared me. TCM and Halloween had their moments however. as for The Excorcist....I dont see what the big deal is! not one single part in that movie scared me in the least bit.

^^ Its best experienced on the big screen it didn't really do much for me either till I saw it at the theatre.

well, a REAL scary movie should be able to scare you on any sized screen.:)

I had a headache! I know it came out all fucked up, oh well!!:D

^^ To much Pink Floyd at loud volume ;)

That must be it!!:p

Some parts of The Eye and The Grudge.The Changling....when the ball is bouncing down the stairs......goosebumps every time.

most recently Ringu or Ju-on the grudge

saw Nicholas Roegs Don't look now, when i was a kid that film scared the shit out of me.

Just watched that for the first time 2 nights ago, really moody, spooky stuff.

yeah that fucking scary dwarf bitch scarred me for life.

The Exorcist really grabbed me the first time I saw it. After I saw it I was in the kitchen fixing food and my husband was in the living room watching TV and the commercial came on where the dog passes out over a man's smelly feet and my husband did a low laugh at the commercial and I went into a shrieking spasm in the kitchen. I was that keyed up.

But when they came out with the Director's cut, I really didn't expect to be scared. I'd seen it a million times but out of nowhere comes this scene where she's crawling down the stairs, and I lost it. Quite fun! Only movie that's ever spooked me twice.

Blair Witch Project!

Most of it was pretty boring, but the last 15 or so minutes is totally worth it. Ive seen it quite a few times, the end always creeps me out. Hell the first time I saw it, I refused to watch the ending I was so terrified. A little after they got to the house, I up and left. Wasnt in theatres or anything, but I had to leave my house, I couldnt take it. Completly terrified me and Im not afraid to admit it.

****

First time I saw it, Signs scared the crap out of me too, cause I wasnt expecting much of anything. When the alien walked out from the bush though...holy crap. Turned it off, went to bed, hardly slept a wink. Next day I watched it again and I laughed at myself for being so terrified of it. Srtill a pretty cool flick though, IMO.

****

Didnt scare me while I was actually watching it, but the night after I saw Jeepers Creepers for the first time, I had a crazy nightmare about the Creeper.

****

None of the ones on the list scared me though. Some damn good movies there, but none that scared me.

Maybe I'm weird, but I thought Blair Witch Project was the most boring horror flick I've seen in a while.

I agree that the majority was really boring, but the tension they build in the last 10-15 min or so was terrifying, IMO.

Another one that scared me in a different kind of way was American Pyscho. The majority of the movie, while being incredbly acted and great overall, didnt scare me in the slightest. The ending however, or at least the way that I interpreted it, was absolutly chilling.

How'd you interpret it?
