What's YOUR favorite scary movie?

Lantern Jack · Apr 15, 2007

I'm going to have to go with the original version of The Wicker Man. Why?

1) Brit Eckland doing the nudie dance (then getting dubbed over and body doubled---oooh, bitch slap!!!)

2) Naked chicks hopping over fires to eerie, Wiccan tunes.

3) Cockney cultists running about in creepy, papier-mache masks.

4) Christopher Lee in drag.

5) Fruity-hippy-Celtic soundtrack.

6) Ingrid Pitt's proto-Princess Leia do.

7) Public casual sex orgies.

8) Songs about horny innkeeper's daughters sung by horny old men.

9) Freak-o prances round the Maypole led by weirdo summer camp counselor.

10) Torture of helpless animals.

11) Goat peeing on dude from The Eraser.

12) Giggling, cavorting hippy ladies spanked on the bottom by frigid Christian cop.

13) Child sacrifices.

14) Sea planes.

15) Dingies

16) And, let's not forget...

THE WICKER MAN...

That was damned scary.

I'd have to say The Ring. Love-love-love it.

But the number one, all time scary movie ever--dumm da dummmmmm

Thirteen Ghosts! I could not even finish it!

Really?? I thought the gore and violence got a bit gratuitous, and the plot was way contrived...but I didn't find it scary.

Then again, movies do not scare me. They might weird me out and gross me out, but they don't scare me.

Except Blair Witch Project. I'm the only one left on the face of the Earth that will still admit it, but I LIKED BWP, and it rattled me to the bone. I think it's funny how many people say NOW that they weren't scared by it. When it came out, damn near everyone I knew said it terrified them. LOL (Same phenomena with Titanic...the whole world LOVED IT until the hype got tiresome...now no one will admit to liking it LOL)

I loved Thirteen Ghosts...one of my favorites.

The Blair Witch Project scared the hell out of me when I saw it in the theatre but the second time around it was kind of dumb.

The Ring scared the hell out of me...I haven't seen the second one yet because I'm not sure I want to now that I live alone!

But my favorite horror movie of all time? Poltergeist. I love that stupid movie. Not scary...just classic. I love it.

Blair Witch Project scared me, too, the first time I saw it. And, I actually liked it too.

I'm not a huge fan of horror movies. I don't really have a favorite. But, the movie that scared me most of all was Pet Semetery. I was in the seventh grade when I watched, and I couldn't be alone for a long time after seeing that movie.

John Carpenter's The Thing.

Mandy-Jane · Apr 15, 2007

The Shining (the original version, with Jack Nicholson).

Lyra Jean · Apr 15, 2007

"Darkness Falls" or what I like to call. The evil toothfairy movie. I couldn't turn out my light for two days after that. And if I think about the movie before bed I can't turn out the lights either.

Man now it's going to be an hour before I can go to bed. Thanks a lot guys.

I loved Rosemary's Baby. Very scary & a bit funny. Shows ya how long I've been to the movies.

Foinah · Apr 15, 2007

NEIGHBORS.

heh, just kidding

I loved The Thing. The Exorcist scared the absolute beeejayzuss out of me. *shudder* I can still freak myself out at night by picturing Reagan's scary face and white/green possessed eyes.

Aw, man! I've done it again.

The Commatose Kidd · Apr 15, 2007

alien, the first of the series, was scary because the 'unseen' was suspenseful.

Bmwhtly · Apr 16, 2007

Hmmm, favourite?

The Thing? although I enjoy Day of the Dead too. And let's not forget Dog Soldiers, although that raises the point of Shaun of the Dead. And that leads me to remember 28 Days Later (incidentally, the trailer for the sequel looks fairly epic). I watched The FOg (the original) last night for the first time in a goodlong while, that's good too. And I love Jaws too...

It's an impossible decision.

As to scariest, Evil Dead (I know, but it does). with The Descent a close second.

Foinah · Apr 16, 2007

Loved Dog Soldiers and Shaun of the Dead, too.

BWP scared the pants off of me. Lucky for me Ray wasn't anywhere near me.

The Exorcist
Alien
The Sixth Sense
What Lies Beneath

All the old classic Boris Karloff/Bela Lugosi movies.
Scared the hell out of me when I was a kid. I've been hooked on horror ever since.

rhymegirl · Apr 16, 2007

Silence of the Lambs, Clarice.

CaroGirl · Apr 16, 2007

The Ring
Blair Witch Project
The Shining

And, Bmwhtly, I watched Shaun of the Dead and 28 Days Later in the same weekend, and LOVED them both. I'm also quite partial to the most recent Dawn of the Dead (the one with Sarah Polley).

I don't know that I'd call it my favorite, but the one that caused me many sleepless nights was Audrey Rose. (That was the one where Anthony Hopkins thinks the little girl Ivy is the reincarnation of his daughter Audrey Rose who was killed in a fiery car wreck. I still get creeped out thinking about it.)

Mommy! Daddy! Mommy! Daddy! Hot, hot, hot!!!

The ending was rather sad....
