Scariest films

Ring IS very disturbing, maybe it doesnt help because it is Japanese (havent seen remake) but still i dont tend to get REALLY scared....

however one thing that really DID screw with my head was "Alice" by an Easten European animator called Yan Svankmeir (spelling?) which is REALLY creepy.

He uses real life and stop frame techniques to a truely freaky effect, for example the white rabbit is a real stuffed rabbit (as in taxidermy) who has to eat the sawdust that drops out of the hole in its belly from which it pulls out its watch to say "i'm late, i'm late"

Svankmeir has done quite a few things inc a version of Faust but Alice, I think, is his best AND the scariest film Ive ever seen.

(PS my sister cant watch The Shining and if she ever gets on my nerves I just wiggle my little finger and say "red rum red rum"!!!!)
 
i don't really like scary movies the only one i have ever seen was H20.(Halloween 20)
Straight after i had watched it.
i had to walk home on my own from my frienRAB house, it was about a 40 minute walk.
i ran so fast i got back in about 15 minutes.
i will never watch one again.
when i got home my brother opened the door and he had a white painted face and looked half dead and he was holding a kitchen knife, because it was halloween.
i screamed so loud the lady next door called the police out and my brother got grounded for a month.
 
Loved The Shining (& Jack of course)

Don't like scary movies much - too much of a wimp. Saw Candyman once and didn't sleep for a week :eek: :eek:

Would never even contemplate watching The Exorcist - far, far too scary for me
 
Although not really a film, "Ghostwatch", the BBC1 docu-drama shown on Halloween in 1992 really scared me when it was shown. I was only 9, and I didn't know it was all a hoax until the next day when it was on the news about all the complaints sent to the BBC. It is definately the most frightening thing I can ever remember seeing, but I was a kid at the time!
I'm going to go and buy the DVD to see what all the fuss was about, but something tells me it won't have quite the same impact now..
 
Event Horizon was possibly the only film which scared me the whole way through, although Sixth Sense had its moments.

Aliens: the bit where the alien moves in the jar. I've seen the film close to 100 times, I know it's coming, and I still jump. Perhaps it's the anticipation.

Jaws: when the head comes out of the porthole.

Also, a film which I think is called The Cube. Group of people wake up trapped inside a cube like structure going from room to room, with no explanation of why they are there. Some of the cubes have booby traps, and some don't. It's one of these films where you have to work out who's going to die next.

And finally one from my childhood: the child-catcher from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. It ALWAYS gave me nightmares!

hehe believe me the exorcist is NOT scary. I watched it when they showed it on C4, and the hype made me more scared than the film. Most of it is just talking and there are onyl short bits with the girl and it just looks like really cheap effects which nearly had me laughing at one point.

They done an excellent parody of it in Repossesed with Leslie Neilson.
 
I think it's just the concept of it rather than what it actually looks like. I can just about handle watching movies with blood, guts & gore but anything about ghosties & ghoulies & the occult & stuff like that just gives me the creeps.

I'm a wimp, I know :rolleyes:
 
I saw Ghostwatch when I was 15 and I can tell I didn't know it was a hoax and I was terrified. The show was set up to resemble Crimewatch and because Parkinson was the host, it did feel real. One guy with severe mental problems ended up taking his own life. I got hold of a copy this year that someone taped of the TV and the effect was nil. It's available on DVD now.
 
Im cant watch I.T as it totaly freaks me out, last time i watched it i couldnt sleep and got these really weird feelings, clowns freak me out!!!

Clowns does anyone like em? You know what tonight i bet u i have a night mare about something 2 do with a clown...

Also i can not watch

Alien Abuction: The McParsons

anyone who has watched this on there own will know why. Just thinking about it makes me freak!!!!!!!

Any1 watched it?

Melanie not seen 'The Eye' but I heard that it is supposed to be pretty scary, I understand that Tom Cruise's production company is doing a hollywood remake.

I think for me the scariest films are 'Halloween' and 'Black Christmas'...
