Top 10 Scary Movies

[AfterTheRain]

Did anyone see the link to this article on MSN yesterday. Someone actually put some real thought into it as referenced by their inclusion of Carnival Of Souls.

The scariest movies.......
BRING IT ON
lmao

[AfterTheRain]

One of the best ever.

The Others is a closet classic in my mind.

[PainTrain]

I went into "The Others" thinking it would suck, but it turned out awesome!

[AfterTheRain]

I went so I could think about how much I'd like to boink Nicole KIdman, and ended up liking the movie. On the other hand she usually does a good job in all her films.

[Aragon]

Well, one the scariest for me was The Perils of Gwendylon in the Land of Yik Yak.

Very bad acting, Tawny Kitean. I bought the movie from a store for a dollar when I was very drunk. I tried to pawn it, throw it away, donate it and it kept coming back. Took me over 10 years to get rid of it, but I did. It was Zrated movie.

[Warheart]

Jaws...anyone go for a swim at their local beach after seeing it? :yowzer:

[kered]

The Haunting made in 1963 with Julie Harris and Claire Bloom was about the scariest movie I saw as a kid. Not much in the way of special effects but done with camera angles and superb acting.

[Strider]

I can't believe nobody's mentioned Suspiria yet

[Tamia78]

I thought this one was great! Suspuria is a good one too!

[kurchatovium]

Here are some of my favorite scary movies:

The Excorcist

Alien

Alien2

Mr. Frost

Dawn Of The Dead (Shaun Of The Dead is good too :p )

The Fly (The Remake with Jeff Goldblum was excellent)

Van Helsing ( Not sure if it was scary but hell of a movie)

Constantine (again great movie not necesarily all that scary)

Mimic

[kered]

The Grudge had some fine moments.

[HeavenlyTickle]

The Grudge had some fine moments.Lol... for a minute I thought you said 'The Grinch'. :jester:

I hate scary movies. Especially ones that make you jump all the time. :ermm: I guess 'The Exorcist' was pretty damn scary. :idunno:

I love to watch women who jump at scary movies. It's cute when they scream "eeeeeeekkkk!". They tend to want to cuddle more. :p

[TklDuo-Drew]

I can't believe nobody's mentioned Suspiria yet

Never saw "Suspiria", but remember seeing the t.v. commercial for it in the 70s. THAT absolutley scared the shit out of me!!


Drew

[Kira]

The Exorcist is at the top of my list. Also, Jeepers Creepers 2 - something about that ugly thing coming after you while you're trapped on a school bus......

[GrimSkull]

A Nightmare on Elm Street(first one,forget the sequels)

The Evil Dead

Re-Animator

The Howling(best werewolf film EVER!)

Fright Night(best vampire film EVER!)

Halloween

Night of the Living Dead

Suspiria

Return of the Living Dead

Just a few of my personal faves(which would actually number in the hundreds)

[phfttklr]

Night of the Living Dead - messed me up as a kid.

The Exorcist - just seeing the previews as a kid was bad. My older sister says it still has an effect on her, about 25 years later. :wow:

The Omen - that damn choir, chant what ever the hell you want to call it, makes my hair stand on end.

Alien - that flickering light made it scary, otherwise - ehh.

Halloween - when the Dr. looked over the railing and Michael was gone. ( sorry for the spoiler :rolleyes: )

Chiller Theater - not a movie but the older crowd will remember this. When the six fingered hand came out of the ground by the bloody tree and the sound "Chiiiiiiilllllllerrrrrrrrr" *Hides under blanket and makes a breathing hole*

[Goodieluver]

I can never do these, cuz i love all the movies equally. Like i wouldnt call "The relic" a masterpiece horror film but it was good and in my top 25
same for friday the 13ths, slash and gore but its good

I was scared by grudge watching it in a dark closed room by myself, then end of the movie i was sayin "what the hell was i spooked about?!" That may be a chief role of horror movies, to actually make u fear in your own personal saftey zone

[steph]

"Excorcist" and "Ghost Story" :shake:

XOXO

[GrimSkull]

Ghost Story....didn't think anyone else knew of that one. A very underrated gem. The novel from Peter Straub is very good too.

I suppose it was a crime to have ommited The Exorcist from my list, too, as its a very good one, too. I even met Linda Blair at a horror movie con I was speaking at last summer and she was pretty cool.

Some other good ones:

Basket Case(kind of more a black comedy than horror)

The Hills Have Eyes(original;haven't seen the remake yet)

The Beyond (Eurohorror by Lucio Fulci)

Hellraiser

Sleepaway Camp(the ending blew me away first time I saw it)

Phantasm(the Tall Man is still scarier than Freddy or Jason)

The Funhouse(another lesser-known gem from the director of Texas Chainsaw Massacre)

I guess some of you may have guessed by now this is a favorite subject of mine :cool2:

How scary that sleepaway camp has springsteens daughter and i didnt know of that movie till robot chicken mocked it

[GrimSkull]

Actually I think it was Springsteen's sister and that was in the sequels...

Do I know horror or what? :D

[Scarlett Moon]

I thought The Ring was really creepy. Also Blair Witch Project gave me nightmares.

[phfttklr]

Oh yeah, I forgot about Phantasm!

[reflexology414]

The Japanese version of "The Grudge" would rate high on my list.

I'm not sure which movie came first -- that one or the one with Sara Michelle Gellar.

[GrimSkull]

Does anyone know of an early '80s horror film called Dead and Buried? It's another sleeper that I highly recommend(and being the Master of the Macabre that I am, I wouldn't recommend crap to any of you :evilha: ) The cast includes a pre-Freddy Robert Englund.

[reflexology414]

Goodie,

I need to ask... where did your signature file come from? Movie, video game, etc... just curious.

Second, my own question has sparked my curiosity... do any of you know about the Japanese version of "The Grudge" -- I'm having trouble finding it, and I'm still wondering if it was the original, or was the American version first?

Lastly, I forgot two films I thought were scary when I saw them. "The Sixth" sense -- I saw it on a night when there was a massive thundersotrm, and I'd just watched the TV series "The Others" before going to the theater. "The Car" probably wouldn't qualify now, but I saw it on a gloomy Halloween at the local armory when I was little, and and it sent chills down my spine (probably wouldn't now, but still...).

[Mastertank1]

It's a four way tie for the title of scariest movie I ever saw.
The candidates are;
George W. Bush's campaign biography
John Kerry's campaign biography
John Edwards' campaign biography
Dick Cheney's campaign biography

Dan Quayle's almost made it a five way tie.

These guys are living proof that when we say that anybody can become president in the USA, we really mean ANYBODY!!

Mastertank1

We who play and dance are thought mad by they who hear no music.

[Strider]

a few of my favorites:

The Exorcist
Suspiria
Evil Dead (1 and 2)
A Nightmare on Elm Street
The Hitcher
The Serpent and the Rainbow
Texas Chainsaw Massacre (the original)
Pumpkinhead (ridiculously underrated)

[maniactickler]

The classic Exorcist of course. :scared:

[natural tickler]

I recommend for everyone to watch See No Evil. It is as gruesome and scary as it gets

[BLUE_THUNDER]

i could easily come up with ten but i havent had enough coffee yet so ill just go with my fave, the 1982 remake of " THE THING" by john carpenter of "halloween" fame. just the intense paranoia of not knowing who is real and who is the THING. i know if i were in that situation, NO ONE would be taking that flamethrower away from me. peace.........BLUE_THUNDER



" may i respectfully remind you there is still a crazy man up there with six 20mm cannon !? "

[reflexology414]

Again, I'd be grateful if anyone could tell me which version of "The Grudge" came first -- the Japanese version, or the film with Sarah Michelle Gellar. This has been driving me crazy since I saw the Japanese film a few weeks ago on cable.

Ju-On is the Japanese version of The Grudge. Ju-On came out in 1993 and The Grudge came out in 1994. The Grudge is a remake of Ju-On. I love both versions of the film.
