I hate this movie with a passion.





And i didn't think it was scary at all, just stupid.

What did you hate about it?

I'm kinda in the same boat as a few others here. I have yet to see a movie (since I was six) that out right scared me. There are a few that had moments that actually made me jump though:

The Exorcist; The quick one-two second flash of the "demon" during Karras' dream sequence.

Jaws; When the severed head bobbed through a hole in the boat while Hooper was scuba diving checking out a wrecked boat.

Event Horizon; When Sam Neills wife appeared beside him in a dark sequence while in the maintenance shaft.

I know this is real weak, but for the life of me, I can't remember any others at the moment. They may come to me.

Ohh, and for the record, Doom 3 had a few spots that made me jump as well.

Few films actualy scare me, but their concepts are often scarry.

From scarriest to least scary of the top ten:
1.Trillogy of Terror 2 (the puppet thing robbed me of many hours of sleep when i was young, even if this whole movie is a bit cheesy)
2.Nightmare on Elm St. 2 (again, loss of a lot of child-sleep)
3.The Exorcist (part where she's crab walking down the stairs)
4.Hellbound Hellraiser 2 (horrifying concept)
5.Last House on the Left (really this movie was just extremely saddening to me)
6.Alien 2 (just because of the facehugger skittering around when Newt tries to sleep)
7.Texas Chainsaw Massacre (the first, origional one. It's got very practical camera angles with not a lot of the suspensful music overdub which makes the scene where leatherface smacks the kid with a hammer unpleasently bizzar and macabre. Like "What... did... did that just happen? Holy crap, that's fucked up.")
8.Creepshow 2 (the second story about the thing in the water was very creepy)
9.The Hills Have Eyes (crazy ass cannibles raping women and trying to eat babies. Not really scarry just horrific and disturbing)
10.The Beyond (the main zombie in this is really terrifying. if i saw it in my house i'd piss my pants)

A lot of people will probably disagree with me on almost every one of those, but to hell with it. They scared or had an impact on me.

The only literature that has frightened me are stories by H.P. Lovecraft. Mainly "The Lurking Fear". Check it out.

Nice list, I strongly agree with you on many of those, mostly The Exorcist crab walking scene. Holy shit, I was scared to look at stairsets for weeks after.

Haha, yes. I was 13 when i first saw that movie and it still had the "oh crap... i really could sleep with the lights on tonight, couldn't i?" impact on me.

i need some help with Wait Until Dark

is this worth renting? it sounds good and stuff, but what exactly is it about, what year is it? etc.

Strange thing happened. I went to look at my dvds to respond to this question and I realized something. That out of the 100+ horror movies i own i find only Ju-On and Ringu to be truly terror inducing. Plenty are DISTURBING but few are truly scary.

hahahahaha

poopy-head :p
