Which horror movie you consider to be the scarriest of all time

[StrainedEyes]

The Exorcist is a good movie and all, but it's really not that scary.

 

[lordofthenerds]

I find Halloween and The Shinging around equally scary. I wasn't frightened watching the Exorcist at all.

What Lies Beneath

 

[War Lord]

I don't watch horror movies, because they don't scare me. I've seen a few and they simply bore me.

 

[PowersOfMind]

The Exorcist still gets me. As does the Omen and Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

"The Power of Christ compells you!!!!"

 

[The Chairman]

Just a question: where's The Silence Of The Lambs?

 

[Warhammer]

^I consider that a psychological thriller.

[Poetic Chaos]

Technically, so is Psycho.

that was crap

 

[Poetic Chaos]

liar. that's what you are.

 

[XwolverineX]

I don't know, I never really get that scared in Horror movies, actually. The Shining, I guess.

 

[Kmack]

The Exorcist, Jaws and Psycho

 

[War Party]

that was crap

no it wasn't.

 

[Carmine Falcone]

Technically, so is Psycho.

Do people consider that a Horror movie? It's a thriller obviously.

I don't watch too many horror movies, actually none. I'm not really attracted to them. Especially those SAW/Hostel type of movies. They just seem cheap to me.

I have a friend who uses that excuse.

He also has to fast forward through the scene in the beginning of "First Contact" when the borg part pops out of Picard's face because he "doesn't like it"

 

[Wilhelm-Scream]

Hahahaha "I just...don't LIKE it". lol

Yeah, in 6 th grade we all went to the March of Dimes Haunted House and ended up having to go, 'cause the kid whose house we were staying over at called his Mom, 'cause he "didn't like it" there. lol

The Exorcist might not get you to curl up in your chair to avoid the screen, but it is still the scariest movie of all time. It, unlike most horror movies, doesn't rely on shock. It's scariest aspect is it is the most realistic depiction of a possession by the Devil, right down to the fact that it leaves the beginning [of the film] open to skepticism.

Not only that it has the greatest villain of all time, Reagan (not Ronald, although that's somewhat ironic). Reagan is a little girl, but at the same time the devil. Her character is a perversion of humanity. Obscenely using crosses to "f*** her", forcing her mother down on her bloody crotch, using the dead mother of a priest to toy with his mind, and killing three people out of amusement. Even the most Aethiestic of us cannot help but be disgusted by her irreverence for religion and humanity.

It uses characters, plot and dialogue to create a scare that sticks with you, gnawing at your brain, rather than simply trying to get you to jump out of your chair.

somebody gets it

I'm always surprised by the amount of people who find all that stuff laughable. I guess they don't belive in evil.

I think if there is anything those "turn up your volume" games on the internet (which often use Reagan's face), it does not take much skill to shock someone out of their chair.

But it does take skill to make a movie like The Exorcist.

 

[Dangerous]

DOTD is not a scary film nor was it intended to be.
Also the list of films in this poll is very obvious, why make a poll its not accurate since the list is very limited.
It would be beter to just pose the question.
For me it would be The Beyond/1981.

 

[Obsidian]

JC's The Thing.

Ditto. What the thing did to those dogs....just horrible..I liked the ending too

 

[Ronny Shade]

JC's The Thing.

Brilliant film...and very scary. I suggest you see Prince of Darkness if you haven't.

 

[Fanticon]

I can't wait till Halloween has passed, so I don't have to see another freakin' "favorite scary movie" poll/thread pop up everyday.
Especially since every single time I have to say none of the above.

Jacob's Ladder...is one of the scariest and coolest horror films ever made.
