What are the scariest 5 movies that you have ever watched ,I mean stick your head behind a chair so as not to see scared, please stick to Horror –Ghost/demons and not Horror - Hack and slash i.e SAW and possible which scene scared you to most

1. The Grudge-the hallway scene was terrifying were the camera follow it up to the door
2. The Exorcism of Emily Rose-the prison scene
3. The Amityville Horror-Original version-The scene with the priest in the room when the door closed and the flies ( the remake played that scene down a bit)
4. Candyman 1-Any time someone said his name in the mirror
5. The Exorcist-The first time the priest entered the room

This dude used to scare the **** out of me when I was younger. Ol Freddy Kreuger in The Nightmare on Elm Street movies. That song used to freak me out..."One, two, Freddy's coming for you. Three, four, better lock your door. Five, six, grab your crucifix. Seven, eight, better stay awake. Nine, ten, never sleep again" It was sung by children, which added to the freakiness! It's all very cheesy now. Back then it wasn't. Lol, youth. ;p

Don't really find modern horror movies to be scary, quite funny, actually. Can anyone recommend some good ones?

E.T.

No, I'm not trying to be funny - growing up, watching E.T. as a kid, I couldn't finish the movie. I became too terrified. E.T. himself still gives me nightmares.

E.T. wasn't scary to me, but those government guys( with the white suites) who wanted to catch him, scared the **** out of me.

In no particular order.

1. Event Horizon
2. House on the haunted hill.
3. Blair Which Project.
4. The Shining.
5. The Thing.

I'm sure there are a few I missed, but those are the ones I can think of right now.

Also mentionable is probably Alien.

I don't scare easily, for some reason, but here's a list anyhow:

Bag-o-Frights: The Descent.

Psychologically scary/freaky: The Good Son.

Gut-splitting gore: Braindead aka Dead Alive.

Miks makes a point with the E.T. thing.

Snow White and The Seven Dwarves. I used to crap my pants on the ride in Euro Disney.
Chucky, but any doll that could talk, PERIOD, would freak me the truck out!
Johnny Depp in the new Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
The MDK thing from Silent Hill.
aaaaand...Will Farrel in Stranger Than Fiction.

I belive you Miktar! My sister is still terrified of ET to this very day. She's 21 now.....

I'd like to second Event Horizon. That first scene where the cast sees what happened to the previous crew - yes, gross, but also scary. Not many movies nowadays that can still claim that (I'm looking at you Hostel and SAW and all you other lame shock-horrors).

Pet Semetary. I got up to where the kid died, saw what was coming and went to bed. WTF seriously dude, your cat came back evil, let that be a warning.

That's about it actually, although Blair Witch and Event horizon had their moments.

The only movie I can actually recall terrifying me was an old film adaptation of Steven King's The Tommyknockers. Something about green glowy things was never the same after that.

lol. I'm no Psychologist but its true that people develop phobias if they, for example, watch horror movies at a young age (especially if that horror movie takes an everyday object and turns it evil). Scary =/

As for horror movies, I don't really watch them and, when I do, I'm usually disappointed because its crap =P. I can't think of one movie that really freaked me out but, there probably is one (but if I can't remember then its not really that good anyway).

Yeah, I developed one also. ;-) Freddy Kruger really messed up my sleeping habits after that. I remember not being able to sleep with the lights off for the longest time after watching those movies. It doesn't help having a active imagination either. You end up scaring yourself sometimes! lol

Another series which was freaky was the Hellraiser movies. Not scary, but gory as hell!

Movies that scared me (gave nightmares etc...) was about 18 years ago, Nightmare on Elmstreet (1-3), Friday the 13th (1 & 2), Childsplay (1), Puppet Master, IT, Sometimes they come back, War of the Worlds, Texas chainsaw massacre ..... etc, all those oldies. Movies don't scare me, but i do get the odd fright now and then.

In no particular order
-Poltergeist. To a kid, that was hella scary. I would freak out at tv-snow for years after.
-the original Amityville Horror. Not the weakass remake.
-Silver Bullet. Quite a cheesy King werewolf movie but, and I can't quite put my finger on it, this movie gave me insomnia for weeks after seeing it.
-recently, The Ring.
-and yeah, the Elm Street movies.

No, actually, that's not true at all. While some phobias may be triggered by a traumatic experience, most are caused by a complex combination of external factors and some sort of pre-existing disposition. It's unlikely that a single negative exposure to clowns, for example, would establish a lifelong phobia.

I've been watching horror movies since I was an anklesnapper, and have no phobias associated with them.

Most of the scariest movies are named already but there is one extra movie that i dont think anyone added ... Its THE MESSENGERS ,well not the whole movie but the scene right in the begining in that farm house was very scary with the people being killed. Go chek it out

I think E.T. was sooo scarey because it was sooo easy for kids to relate.
Kinda like not being able to relate to a space horrer but drowning movies are freeking scarey because most people have nearly drowned (Miktar you can't swim can you?)

And yes-one bad experiance is not enough to make people terrified of say clowns.

I'm an exceptional swimmer, Frozen. You need to put away the Fisher Price psychology there.

ET was scary for me because of how the damn alien looked - it had nothing to do with relating to anything.

People don't need a bad experience to be terrified of clowns. Clowns are insidious abominations. Anything that has a fixed expression painted onto its face to hide what is really going on... all the while making a living off of self degradation and humiliation.

/edit "Fisher Price psychology":
Stories scare people most when they take something that is supposed to be safe and turn them into something horrific. I know it sounds like the obvious, but an example would be making a child the scary element as opposed to an adult. A home that becomes the source of malevolence. A doll that starts killing people. Your pets.

Also I don't find particularly graphic horror scary only humorous. My mind can generate far more awful images than my television. Some things are best left implied.

Deep man... lol. Clowns are insidious abominations... My goodness me *shakes head*

anyhoo after watching IT at a very young age I havent been the least bit frightened in a movie again. I blew my scary fuse or something.

so... my top 5 list of scary movies:

1.) IT
2.) Barbera Streisands "Love of a woman"
3.) Scary movie 1
4.) Scary movie 2
5.) Scary movie 3

My bad ^^

Thats just the way I've seen it so far. I should probably have said "some people". I'm guessing it depends on the individual person too. But thats still just my opinion. Once again, sorry, my bad. Don't want to be throwing around false info here ^^

(Sorry for off-topic-ness too =P)

Really? who then said they couldn't swim? it was at the Nag meet and greet.
Somehow I thought it was you. Sorry for getting it wrong.

I scare so easily, it's not even funny.

So, consequently, I don't watch anything that's even mildly scary.
That includes games.
*cough*FEAR*cough*

Even those silly little videos where you watch something intently and a monster/disfigured face suddenly pops up and screams at you....
*shivers*

I can't stand that.


It all started when I was about nine.....
