Scariest films you've seen? - Page 3

Not a movie but a TV show, Tales From The Crypt scared me silly thanks to the Crypt Keeper. He was easily my worst childhood fear and the mere sight of him was all it took to petrify me.

I always hate listing things like this because, I always forget a ton of stuff. Then I see someone post it, and I have to slap my forehead for forgetting it.

The Grudge and number 2 are the scariest for me. I'm not sure why, but they've had a very lasting effect on me.

Also, The Woman In Black should not have been a 12A (UK). I basically ruined that cinema seat

The Exorcist scared me the most when I saw it as a kid.

Have any of your ever seen Exam? I wouldn't call it scary but it's pretty disturbing and a good mindf***.

Any David Lynch really.

Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me

Noroi: The Curse. A 2005 found footage J-horror film by Koji Shiraishi. Unrelenting sense of doom from the get-go, like something Ligotti might have written if he was Japanese and didn't hold back. Gorn-ish, but the gorn isn't even close to being the scariest part.

El Payaso · 03-20-2012, 06:48 PM

I remember "Frankenstein The True Story" (1973) scared me a lot as a child. I - lol - actually believed it was the "true story" but it was just another variation.

I saw it recently and it was good but not as scary as I remembered.

Mr. Wooden Alligator · 03-20-2012, 07:28 PM

The Grifter was more intense than I imagined.

I can't believe I forgot about The Shining. That definitely makes my list.

Child's Play scared me specially since I was a kid when I saw it. The last movie that spooked me was the original version of The Ring just because I went to the theater with my friends with absolutely NO idea on what it is about. We thought it was a comedy!

I like how there's a piece of music in Noroi that sounds a LOT like the theme to The Thing.

I was flipping channels the other week and saw part of that Justin Bieber movie and I have been haunted by fear ever since.

This is probably my least favourite Lynch movie but yea, that is ****ing frightening.

The Morningstar · 03-23-2012, 02:12 AM

I watched The Descent for the first time last night. Why it took me so long i do not know. Fantastic film and scary as hell! It's not even the monsters that are scary though, it's the whole claustrophobia thing. The part where one of the girls is stuck and having a panic attack made me have a panic attack!

craigdbfan · 03-23-2012, 02:30 AM

That movie is awesome. You really start questioning if there really are monsters or if the girls just started having shared induced hallucinations due to their fatigue and the complete darkness of that cave.

Great movie.

The Morningstar · 03-23-2012, 03:10 AM

Hmm i never thought of it like that, but now that you mentioned it, yea, i could totally buy it.

Oh and I forgot to even mention Sarah suspecting whether Juno was sleeping with her husband which is strongly suggested throughout the movie. This distrust only builds up the already heightened state of paranoia in that cave.

It also brings into question the "unreliable narrator" schtick with Sarah seeing as by the end of the movie she completely believes she's with her daughter. This sort of makes us wonder if she was just assuming the worst about her husband and Juno.

You made me want to go watch this movie again. I had almost forgotten how much of a mindfudge this movie is.

The Morningstar · 03-23-2012, 03:36 AM

Oh man it seriously is. I watched it late last night after having a joint, it was a great experience. And i didn't really know anything about it before hand, other than hearing it's great and scary. I imagined it'd be a straight up horror, but yea like you say, it's got a lot of layers there and things to think about.

Go re-watch it!

craigdbfan · 03-23-2012, 03:46 AM

Yeah definitely, it's a way deeper movie than one would think it'd be by just looking at the cover and reading the barebones plot summary.

I picked it up casually sometime ago when Hollywood rentals was still up and running and was pleasantly surprised with it.

Did you watch the "unrated" version or the R rated one? I know the unrated one is more definitive in its ending whereas the rated R one apparently has a more happy Hollywood "lets make more sequels" tagged on ending.

Kind of glad that I missed watching it in theaters because without the real ending it wouldn't of had as big of a payoff.
