What's the scariest movie you ever seen?

I love that film purely for the ending
I'm not sure if Miller is kept alive for eternity whilst being tortured in hell..nice!
and the flashes of hell showing the numerous crew. I really love the communication that plays with the captain saying Save yourself from hell. Scared the bejeezus out of me. I don't know what happened to Paul W anderson after that film.
 
The Exocism of Emily Rose freaked me out in parts (when her boyfriend wakes up in the middle of the night to find her contorted on the floor staring at him).

The Exorcist scared me.

The Entity still scares me to this day, I have it on DVD and can't watch it without freaking out somewhat.

(Hmm, I should stop watching Paranormal themed films I think :o :D )
 
Not neccessarily scary, more gory and shocking - the Saw trilogy [I'm ignoring the crappy 4th one], ughhh especially seeing it on the big cinema screen in the dark. I nearly fainted lol.

When I was little and I saw Jurrassic Park, that used to scare me to death.

Alien scared me. Just the whole calm beginning, I was waiting for it to come lol.
 
It didn't work for me, mainly because the characters are shouting-at-the-screen stupid. For me it's a mediocre film with one good idea.

I prefer the director's later films, although I wouldn't say they are scary. The scariest part of Hostel is when
the clients are discussing what to do with their purchases.
 
Agree! I haven't watched it in years, part of me would like to think that I'd find it laughable now but what if.... :eek:
More votes for The Haunting and someone mentioned another b&w, sorry it's scrolled off the page. About the children in a mansion, the scenes with the wallpaper and the holding hanRAB in bed, man I'm shivering already :o
 
The Shining

The Omen, the original though the mirror scene in the 2006 version always makes me jump.

Candyman

Poltergeist

The Wickerman

The troll scene from Cat's Eye.:o
 
The Exorcist' finished me off.
Haven't been able to watch a scary film since.
Before that I'd watch anything.
Made in 1973 it is old now and open to criticism for all kinRAB of reasons, but at the time it was a break from the run of the mill horror film and was much discussed at the time.

It did not help in that 2 days after seeing it, this part of South Wales had a small earthquake. Not only did my bed shake, but the dressing table mirrors vibrated loudly.
I have never been so frightened.

Remember her?

I managed to watch my 'American Werewolf in London' 21st anniversary special edition DVD - and the werewolf didn't crash through a window, I think I was getting mixed up with it breaking through shutters in Piccadilly Circus. Also in the Dracula film with Frank Langella I think Dracula as a large dog crashes through a window. Strange how memories can play tricks.

I notice the film was descibed as a black comedy - I suppose it WAS kind of a spoof of a Hammer horror - it still scared me. The worst two bits were when the American changes into a werewolf the first time, especially when he's calling for help and he looks straight at the camera. Also the London Underground scene. The American's dream sequences of massacre are supposed to be a mickey take but I found them disturbing.:eek:
 
Nightmare On Elm Street 1 & 2.

Ok I know thay have aged terribly and mocked so many times but I saw both when I was about 5 or 6 so they scared and left a lasting impression on me.
The sequel moreso even though it is a crap movie but the whole scenerio of a maniac able to get you in your dreams,the score and the way Robert Englund originally played Freddy Krueger is genius.
