Of course it is. However, it is easier to be frightened when you are young. If you are old enough to know better then maybe a few drinks and watching the movie in the dark at night will help.

Wasn't the people crapping their pants IN the movie? Because they were.... very old.

Sorry, are you still talking scary movies??

Heck yea Jacobs ladder was soo trippy, I remember watching that back in high school, stoned out of my mind. I had to watch it like 3 times to figure out the simplicity of it LOL.

I'm most surprised about "Bones" being scary.

Jacob's Ladder was good, and it did have a few creepy moments, but it definitely didn't scare me.

I think this might be my problem actually. Maybe I'm just too jaded by now to really be frightened by movies anymore.


I'm going to make a few suggestions on my own thread. Saw a Spanish horror movie last night called Shiver (2008), and I thought it was quite good at ratcheting up the tension. It sort of blew it in the last 30mins but worth checking out. Watched it under perfect conditions though. Alone in the dark with a lightning storm raging outside.

Also watched Home Movie (2008), and thought it was reasonably creepy, though not really nightmarishly so, it was still one of the better found footage type movies I've seen in a while.

Event Horizon was quite good back in the day, but the CGI is very dated now. Still one of my favorite space horrors though. REC offered a few good jump scares when it was released. Somebody else suggested Grave Encouters, but I really thought that movie was hilariously bad and was checking my watch throughout.

If you guys know of something off the beaten track that would be great.
