Your Scariest Films

**WalterPill** · 22nd September 2004

Couldn't possibly formulate a poll for this one as there are simply so many genuinely frightening films to choose from and obviously what some may find terrifying others find.... umm, not.

Anyway, The Changeling (1980) starring George C Scott was for me pant soilingly scary and more recently Ringu (1998) by Hideo Nakata.

Anything by Michael Winner scares the shit out of me as well but for drastically different reasons.

I don't know the name of the film but it was a Hammer Horror and it was about a woman who's husband and son were taken over by some fukin evil force or some shit, the weird thing was the only way you could tell they had been taken over was they had brown teeth, oh and they chased her round a bit when they had brown teeth too.

You have to understand this was about 20 years ago and yes, it made me shit my pants.

when i was about 8 i watched The Hand, with Michael Cain - boy i regretted it :cartman

**Pyro Steve** · 22nd September 2004

The Shinning is truly chilling.

**novaman** · 22nd September 2004

i watched Halloween when i was 4 years old.. this was a big big mistake, as i had some pretty nasty nightmares for months thereafter.. part 1 and 2 are defintely the scariest films i've ever seen.

Texas Chainsaw Massacre (only seen the remake), and House of 1000 Corpses... the kind of scary that stays with you for days. Scary isnt even the word.. human on human cruelty seems very distrurbing :coffee: its chilling to think the inflicter of pain knows exactly what they are doing... when the baddie is a big dumb monster like godzilla the pain they cause only seems like a byproduct of their behavior rather than direct case & effect. In a similar vein, the dark portrail of Freddy in Nightmare on Elm Street part 1 (2 to 48 are comedys not horrors)... well, when you're 8 it scares the shit out of you, I don't know what I would make of it seeing it for the first time at say 18 or something. On a lighter note, it TERRORFIES me to think that Igby Goes Down wasnt a straight to VHS/bin release. DIRE film, seems to be missing a beginning, middle, end, plot, and point. Its a DVD which could be compared to money box, in that it must be smashed to bits in order to gain any value from it.

I used 2 watch loads of horrors when I was a kid and they didn't scare me. I watched the exorcist when I was about 5 and it didn't bother me, I watched The Shining, Friday the 13th, tales of the unexpected, twilight zone all when I was nipper and I didn't bat an eyelid or have sleepless nights.

Yet I would watch Dr.Who and shit myself when the Daleks came on. :nowords: :coffee:

Pet cemetary scared me when I was a little lad

**daz73** · 22nd September 2004

Elm street Pt 1 bar none, scared the crap outta me for months...

Also The Fog by j. carpenter...

**kjun** · 23rd September 2004

Ive only twice found a film genuinely scary

the first time was when i was about 5 and snuck downstairs when i was supposed to be in bed, i saw about 2 minutes of a film me parents were watching, all i remember of it is a coffin, aload of candles and a ventriliquist (sp?

) dummy, scary shit

the other was the blair witch project

**gunner** · 23rd September 2004

The original ring was chilling, and when I was a lad American Warewolf in London scared the shit out of me.

Blair Witch was quite good, but not really seen anything recently that has been scarey.

Loads of films make me jump (ask Gunner - i bloody jump at anything on the telly :whistle ), but the only films that have ever really got me going were American Werewolf when i was about 10, the last 15 minutes of Blair Witch, and a bit of The Village

The original Ring was really good - the film itself didn't shit me up, it was a few hours later when i woke up and caught a reflection of something on my telly and it looked like the bit in the film :coffee: Smoking and watching scary films really isn't a good idea !

**Tattooed Freak** · 23rd September 2004

Can't recall being scared as an adult. When I was younger I got a bit jumpy at The Nightmare on Elm Street film's and Friday 13th.

shrek with the animals talking and everything i thought it was really scary, dr doolittle was another one and when i was young the series casey jones made me scared to go on a train...

oh the musics popped into my head..

Casey Jones mounted to his cabin,
Casey Jones with his orders in his hand
Casey Jones mounted to his cabin,
And he took his farewell trip to that promised land.

Saloms Lot
Physco
Poltergiest

**daz73** · 23rd September 2004

Cant believe i forgot my classic Salems Lot, far worse than any other film growing up.. bastard baldy vampire!!

**CominAtcha** · 23rd September 2004

The Blair Witch Project and The Ring (Jap version) actually gave me nightmares!

And I still reckon that one of the most goosebump inducing lines from a film has to be in Scream 1, where he asks Drew Barrymore her name at the beginning - "Why do you wanna know my name?"

"So I know who I'm looking at!"

I'm sorry, but if I was at home on my own at night and that happened to me, I would shat myself twice!!!
