hahaha. The final 30 or so minutes of The Orphanage freaked me out cause I was alone in the dark at like 3am, but that's about it.
The Shining...I don't want a lot of horror movies.

Never really seen a movie as of late that was scary to me. If this counts Funny Games was a little. You have to admit it was scary in some weird, fucked up way. But damn was that a good movie.

same here. i grew up watching them, so i've kinda been desensitized to everything they offer.
i'd say the closest was probably the original hills have eyes. but that had more to do with the fact that i was only 4 or 5 when i watched it than the movie actually being scary.

The only two movies that have given me nightmares were Daylight and The Ghostbusters. It's sad because none of these are even horror and yet, I still have a reoccurring dream involving the Marshmellow thing from Ghostbusters. :-(
I still really need to see Funny Games.

The Ring. I watched that in theaters when I was 15, and I was sitting in the front rows. That movie scared me so much. I had nightmares for months because of it.
I would have never gone to see that in theaters, but a friend lied to me (and another friend of ours), saying that it was a comedy or something. I hadn't seen any previews for it or anything, so I (along with my other friend) fell for it. Boy, what a mistake.

Haha, that was pretty mean. I remember seeing it with my friends and being mildly scared.

But you probably watched it at home, right? Watching it in theaters is what made it so much worse for me.
It will be 6 years in October, since I saw it, and I still can't make myself to see it again. I did watch The Ring 2 with another friend (she forced me to since no one else would go see it with her), but I never watched any of the scary parts anyway. I had a hat on and I would always just look down and eat my popcorn whenever I felt like a scary scene was coming up. That pretty much blocked everything and I could only hear the sound. The best part? I still couldn't sleep later that night. I was terrified.
I'm such a wimp.

Haha aw...that's kind of cute. Horror movies just don't scare me. Saw movies are very rarely good, mostly not scary at all. I remember watching the Grudge with my friends and laughing the whole time.
You should face your fears and watch it again!

I watched the Grudge at home with friends, too. That scared me as well. The shower scene has been stuck in my mind since, and I still think about it when I'm showering sometimes.
I was just talking about this with my boyfriend, and after making that post, I said to him, "I remember everything about it. I'm pretty sure the date I saw it was October 20th too." I went to check what the release date was (for The Ring), and of course I was right. The move came out on October 18th, 2002 and I saw it a few days after. I remembered it being a weekend too! That just shows how much that movie has scared me. It's like, wired in my brain for the rest of my life.
Have you watched IT? I watched that when I was only 9. Yeah.. bad idea. That's another movie that scared me to death.

Horror films have never actually frightened me, but some have made me pretty nervous to leave my back turned to an open space.

As a kid, The Childcatcher in the movie Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and Jason Voorhees gave me nightmares for years.
The Gore Verbinski remake of The Ring was moderatley surprising but I'm with the other person, I've become very desensitized to violence and gore over the years and am not scared by much of anything now.
I watched the Grudge at home with friends, too. That scared me as well. The shower scene has been stuck in my mind since, and I still think about it when I'm showering sometimes.

Yes! IT was intense. It was quite scary when I saw because I wasy pretty young. I always remember the dates of movies and save all my tickets, thats a cool habit. Have you seen Alien? Good and scary all in one.

For me, it really isn't the movie that scares me, but rather where i end up in after the movie is over.
Example: Seeing "The Ring" at a friend's house and then having to walk to my car at 3am in the dark and having a dog run up to a neighbor's fence and bark at me, causing me to run like the goddamn dickens to my car. :-(

hahaha I know exactly what you mean
I watched A Clockwork Orange when I was still in middle school, needless to say that movie FUCKED me up for the entire month of those rape scenes and stuff.
Also has anyone seen Salo? I think that's one of the most sexually and torturing disturbing movies I have ever seen that just scarred my memory for my precious teenage years......
Just thinking about it gives me a shitty mood
These weren't scary movie, just disturbing as fuck

i'm picky with horror, i love zombie movies and all, but the only movie that truly scared the s#!% out of me was Rosemary's Baby, the way she found out that her baby was the anti-christ, and how all the satanists just looked like average ppl, their little banquet hall had normal lighting, it just had this very nonchalant vibe to this terrifying scene, which was supposed to be somewhat of a reverse-nativity. With the exception of the whole (HIS EYES, WHAT'S WRONG WITH EYE'S) bit, I found it pretty darn realistic, and pretty much regret seeing the movie, it still bothers me.
i remember this girl asking me what a good scary movie was, and I told her that it was the scariest movie i'd ever seen, so she saw it and said she didnt find it scary at all, that she prefered more modern horror stuff, i couldnt believe it, but truth is anyone who finds modern horror scary is probably too dumb to know whats truly terrifying, lol, which usually isnt visual.

Yeah, but it's been 6 years.. and I somehow still remember everything. I save movie tickets too, and I have for years. I pretty much save any type of "tickets" or similar things. I have boxes full of that stuff.
I have watched only one of the Alien movies, but I don't remember which one. It's funny that you mention it though because I was talking to Tristan (boyfriend) about it just last night. The one I watched ended in a brutal way! One of the two people that were escaping, got cut in half by an alien right at the end. I watched that when I was 6 years old and it's been stuck in my head since. So gross.

As a kid, The Childcatcher in the movie Chitty Chitty Bang Bang QFT.
The scariest film I have ever seen is When The Wind Blows. (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0090315/) It's a cartoon by Raymond Briggs, the guy who did The Snowman and Fungus The Bogeyman, so how scary can it be? Oh did I forget to mention that it's about an old couple preparing for and coping with the aftermath of nuclear war. Watch this film and you'll never forget it.
When The Wind Blows must be the most disturbing film I have ever seen -- and it is a low budget cartoon with a PG certificate! The movie starts by playing for laughs and introducing us to the daily routine of our elderly couple.They are living in the past and think of war in a kindly way. This is to soften us up for what follows -- and what follows will stay with you for the rest of your life
An elderly couple (Hilda and Jim -- voiced by Peggy Ashcroft and John Mills) -- who have experienced WWII -- prepare for a nuclear war believing every word that the government says and expecting a short and happy outcome should the worst happen.

When I was little, the oompa loompas in Willy Wonka And The Chocolate Factory freaked me the hell out.
As for the scariest movie I've ever seen, I think Silence Of The Lambs was the scariest. I find traditional horror movies lame.

Halloween for sure.
and The village, at the time it didn't completely scare me but I had nightmares about the creepy things in it after wards, it still freaks me out.
The Shining but I did watch it when I was like 7.

I've only made it through 3 horror movies in the history of my life. That's how much of a wuss I am. (Note: One of the times I basically clung to my friend, and her mother ended up giving me a teddy bear thinking that would help. That was when I was 16! Embarrassing, really.)
So I've only seen Urban Legends, the Ring, and Child's Play. I saw Child's Play (I think that's what it is called. You know, with the evil possessed doll) when I was young. I was jealous my dad was spending time with my bro, so I hid behind the chair to watch it so I wouldn't feel left out. I had nightmares for weeks.

Fire in the Sky is a freaky movie, or at least the scene of his account toward the end of the movie, that movie's based on a true story, i dunno how much was embelished, but the part about the investigation is true, and them passing the polygraph test.

when I was younger, I watched the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre with my dad.
scared the shit out of me.
It did not help that I completely believed the warning before the movie that said it was based on true events.
so as far as I knew, there was a maniac running rampant in Texas, wielding a chainsaw.

All I remember about seeing that movie in theaters is that I began laughing very hard when the horse jumped off that boat.
I do remember being freaked out by the Exorcist when I first saw it a very long time ago, but horror movies generally suck.

I watched Diary Of The Dead, thinking it was going to be really scary...George Romero directed, so of course it had to be. It was crap. Then that night, for some reason, I kept seeing the dad from 28 weeks later in my head for some reason. Scared the crap outta me. I wouldnt turn my back on my door while i was sleeping. im still paranoid.

Horror doesn't bother me, but I can't stand the pop out thing. Like a character being filmed at one angle, then they change the angle, and when they come back there's someone behind them. I have an irrational fear of closing my refridgerator door one day and someone being behind it. Sue me.
Movies like Strangers, Sixth Sense, and Shudder freak me the hell out.
