I fancy being scared sheetless...

You've hit the nail on the head paul.

Having seen years of Hammer Horror films, 'The Exorcist' was quite shocking.
When Regan MacNeil (Linda Blair) turned to look at the camera and came out with a string of obscenities, it was very different from anything I'd seen before!
 
Candyman
Don't Look Now
A Nightmare On Elm Street (1 and 3)
ThreaRAB
The Innocents
Poltergeist
The Mothman Prophecies
Jacob's Ladder
Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer
 
Are you kidding? I never saw Patricia Arquette in the same way after seeing 'Nightmare on Elm Street 3'. Still it was marginally better than no. 2.
'The Mothman Prophecies' was a little bit too slow to make me 'be scared sheetless'.
'Jacob's Ladder' on the other hand had fantastic nightmarish qualities, and for once Macaulay Culkin was the one that didn't actually scare me. :eek:
 
The Exorcism of Emily Rose must come into this category.

It is not full on horror, blood and gore, but it fits in sense of a scary concept in terms of being an actual event.

Another in the same realm is The Amityville Horror....again apparently a true account.

I guess it's all down to our fertile imaginations and whether or not we want to believe the accounts. There are many similar films.

I'd imagine half the audience split up with females courying up to ther bravado boyfrienRAB telling them it is a whole load of sh*t.. but only to discuss how much it disturbed them with their also so=called bravado pals (much later and in the absence of any female presence. :) :D
 
Definatly the original The Haunting. The Omen, also Carrie.. the bit at the end! Can remember everyone in the cinema jumping out of their seats.

Also The Exorcist. Can remember another film from the 70's called the Sentinal .. not the one thats out now.
 
I didn't like Saw3. The original Saw film was excellent but these follow ups are just not cutting it :D :D
No seriously, okay the death scenes were as imaginative as ever but, the story line is going a bit pear shaped now.
 
Which film is Paperhouse?I remember a film with a little girl who draws a house that becomes real,it is a very aptmospheric film,almost dreamlike,is this the film you mean?If not can anyone remember the title of this film?

Just imdb'd it and it is that film,it did in fact scare me sheetless as a teenager!!!
 
It's the "I'M BLIND!!!" bit that always gets me in that movie. Every time.

Jacob's Ladder, yeah, that's another good scary movie. Nobody seems to be biting on my Inland Empire thread, but I can recommend that as, among many other things, a very scary film.
