Which is the scariest?

I think Nightmare On Elm Street was the scariest, especially the scene with the children playing with the skipping rope that really gave me the chills!
 
I've got to say for me its Alien. My older sister first made me watch that when I was about 7. Our parents were out and she didnt want to watch it on her own so she made me stay up with her. To make matters worse she took all the cusions away from me so I couldnt hide behind them. I had nightmares for weeks. I haven't been able to watch it since.
For some reason Freddy Kruger didn't scare me, in fact quite the opposite. I was somewhat fascinated by him at the age of 6 and was forever drawing pictures of him. My teachers thought I was quite disturbed!!
 
Yes, the Haunting was remade a few years back with CZJ, Owen Wilson and Liam Neeson. Please don't let that put you off seeing the original, though.

You don't see anything, everything is left to your imagination - and it scared the living daylights out of three of us in broad daylight!

THAT's what a good horror movie should be about!
 
Oh my god . Being fascinated bt Freddie Kruger at the age of 6 , did i hear right 6 !. and then having to watch ALIEN at age 7 , how old was your sister at the time.
 
13 or thereabouts. I actually rang her up to remind her of this yesterday, she just laughed. Its so horrible being the youngest sometimes. And i've never actually seens Nightmare of Elm Street all the way through, so that might be why I wasn't too bothered by it and enjoyed drawing Freddy.

I've got to say that the first few minutes of IT, when he's going through the washing line in the garden, had me petrified. I couldn't watch any more after that bit. I'm scared stiff of clowns. How any child can find them entertaining is beyond me.
 
When I was a kid, some films would scare me. Like that fellow laughing whilst sitting on the front of the train at the end of 'live and let die' - just seen it again tonight. I think it gave me nightmares as a small child.
But in my adult years, I confess no fictional film has scared me, particularly not horror - which seems more funny than scary to me now.
What I do find more scary though are horrific films based on fact, and show the darker side of human nature, e.g. Schindler's List. Not really scary I guess, but profoundly disturbing, and I was upset all evening after watching that one.
 
none of them in that list would be my scariest, but one film that did spook me out a little was THE EYE. The grossest horror i have ever seen was SAM HAIN, man was that film sick, and in a way a bit stupid.
 
i agree with you, although it does make you jumpy, its physcological (excuse my spelling!!) ones that get you thinkin, as i was reading in another thread i think, (i appoligise as im not sure which member said this) but its not as though Freddy Kruger is gonna get you in your bed is it..

i :rolleyes:
