What is the scariest movie you've ever seen

[ripleysmom]

"Did anyone see Trilogy of Terror?"

OMG!!! I forgot about this. That warrior doll was really scary and then Karen Black's face at the end

 

[elgerber]

Ah, Trilogy of Terror, I can still here the little stabbing music playing as the little doll chased her around the house LOL. I don't remember the other 2 stories though, can anyone refresh my memory?

I have several. Candyman really scared me. I was also terrified with Exorcist, Psycho, and the first Halloween.

Definitely the original Halloween! I saw it when I was 7 years old! My sister was having a Slumber Party and all her friends watched that movie...I snuck downstairs and watched through the rungs on the stairway! OMG, I was so freaked out after that, I had nightmares for a year later and slept with my sister for like 3 months!! Talk about a movie making an impact!! Yikes!!


Also, I don't know why, but that movie "House on Haunted Hill" scared the crap out of me!! DH and I watched it together and I was so jumpy and closed my eyes through most of it! LOL Big wuss here!!

 

[Tiggeroo]

but I don't know what they were.
One was a woman alone in a house and there were these little troll dolls after her. She fell asleep or something and they tied her up and lots of them carried her down into the basement.
Another was about these creepy twins. One had died. His brother carried his finger in a box with a ring on it. He killed one of his cousins with a pitchfork in a hay loft. I think this was the Other or something like that. Anybody remember that??

Also, who remember Saturday morning creature feature. Some vampire guy would host and they would show mostly Vincent Price types of movies.
And does anybody remember Bucket of Blood, and House of Wax??

Oh I remember that one it was scary.

Exorcist scared the daylights out of me. My oldest DD (Holly) was about a year old and we got a babysitter to go see the movie. When we came home and I checked on her, she sat straight up in her crib and power puked all over me. You've never heard anybody scream so loud. I was freaked for days. Put crosses all over the wall above her crib.

I'm a big horror movie buff, and the only movie to scare me big-time is the original "Night of the Living Dead." But here's why... one summer when I was off at college, I lived in this old place right across the street from the oldest cemetary in Nacogdoches (the oldest town in Texas). My roommates went away for the weekend, and I had just bought that movie. I watched it... and then spent the rest of the night watching the cemetary, hiding under the blankets, then watching the cemetary, then hiding under the blankets.... and so on. I moved out shortly after, and was very, truly frightened of that place. Just too creepy.
Now, I'm also still *kind of* afraid of the dark, and the Blair Witch Project scared me as well. Made me think twice about going camping (and I haven't since).
But all of the slasher and psychological thrillers don't scare me. Just those two movies, with "Living Dead" being the all-time worst.

Prince of Darkness scares the daylights out of me. And Vincent Price in House of Wax has ALWAYS given me nightmares!

 

[tedsmom]

"The Jagged Edge" kind of got me. I am not as scared by movies such as Halloween or Nightmare on Elm Street. I am more scared of the ones that have the potential to happen in real life.

 

[Jenzebelle]

Blair Witch 2

Not because the movie itself was scary. It just frightens me to think that it's possible for a movie to be THAT bad

 

[JerseyJanice]

The Serpent and the Rainbow.

Second runner-up: The Believers.

 

[Steve H.]

LOL Jenz -- I could go on and on about those kinds of scary movies!!

For me -- it was The Exorcist

 

[Indyman]

I wathced the original Night of the Living Dead when I was 7 or 8 years old. I had nightmares for weeks after that movie.

 

[Towncrier]

Carrie - I saw this movie in college. I was sitting in the front row of the auditorium and when the final scene popped onto the screen, the entire row of us levitated. It was kinda like doing the wave. I suppose I was more startled than scared.

I've only seen The Exorcist once, thankfully during the daytime. If I had come out of that theater at night, I'm not sure what I would have done.

 

[suzannen]

Great question for this week!
I had completely forgotten about When A Stranger Calls and that creepy Trilogy of Terror. Both would be on my list, as would The Exorcist. I slept with a light on for weeks after that! Of course, I also would not go swimming all summer after Jaws and had nightmares for months about the Twilight Zone's "To Serve Mankind." I'm such a wimp!

 

[Deb in IA]

Psycho. A classic.

Jaws. The beginning of Steven Spielberg's brilliant career.

Blair Witch Project. Saw it BEFORE everyone let the secret out (ie. it's not REALLY a documentary)

Amityville Horror. I don't like flies to this day.



Can't remember the name, but there's a movie with Anthony Hopkins and a ventriloquist's dummy that comes to life and starts killing people.

Most recently, Signs.

I am a pretty big weenie, and I don't watch many scary movies. Deceived with Goldie Hawn and the Sixth Sense are two of the scariest movies I have seen.
