What was psychological about Hostel, it was a bunch of sick ****s paying other sick ****s to find them an innocent tourist so they can torture them whatever way they wanted. Having said, I love that movie

I dont know what it is, but that scene scared the hell out of me.....

BINGO

The Shining for sure ... that scene and plenty of others freak me out to this day. I cant even watch that movie anymore, it freaks me.

Subtle things like that create the fear, there isnt much fear in hack em whack em moving like Freddie or Jason. Thats just eye candy stuff, it doesnt get into the brain. At least for me.

Trying to empathize with characters or situations. It didn't play with your mind so much, just showed a bunch of disturbing imagery and behaviour. Wolf Creek was sorta the same.

Still giving me nightmares and its been three months.

Have to say Saw (one). Seeing someone die in real life is far scrarier then any movie though. Damn, Why'd I bring that up again.

My light bulbs burnt out 50% faster after I watched Nightmare on elm street and a young kid.

I likely wouldn't have this leariness if I hadn't seen Jaws.

I saw a shark in the ocean when I was in Miami. I thought that was cool, only to be informed by some snooty friends that it is quite common to see one.

The main point I'm trying to make: Buff is a wuss.

I was just reminded of the scariest movie I've ever seen. One of the guys I play hockey with had his wife come and record one of our games. I saw the playback, and watching StoneCole play hockey... YIKES!!!!!!!!!!!! I'd gladly swim in a pool with hungry sharks rather than watch StoneCole play again.

I generally avoid horror movies and always have . . . . . . but the original Alien was damned scary, not just for what you saw but also what you didn't see.

Somehow, the Alien movies following the original never had that same timbre.

dito on the original "Omen" - truly out there. the satanism thing has been done to death in some truly bad movies but this one is a little crazy - the dogs, the nanny, the architecture... the connection with today's politics (watch for it)

"Pin" - not a drop of blood, but is a mental trip

"Event Horizon" - this movie caused me sleep loss, not even exactly sure why. they used restraint in what they showed, maybe that's why

"Friday the 13th" - the original is actually a little freaky, and Jason isn't the murderer

Thats because the following three went for Sci-Fi Action, rather than Sci-FI Horror

Did you see the recent version? I was tempted to see it, but haven't gotten to it yet. I loved the original!

[the_only_turek_fan]

Never really a big horror movie fan, but I thought The Silence of the Lambs was pretty scary.

OT: Since we we are talking about scary things, the dude that hosted Unsolved Mysteries will forever be the scariest man on Earth to me. His voice and his eyes just gave me the creeps.

EDIT: This guy.

Alien freaked me out when I saw it...I was 6.

Creepiest movie? I don't know...Stir of Echoes was haunting.

Man when that girl just pops in it's freaky. I was chilled watching that the first time.

For me the worst is What Lies Beneath. I was so freaked out after seeing it in the theatre.

Also in one of the Halloween movies I was watching with my cousin at my grandparents cottage on Lake Huron. It was pitch black in the forest behind the cottage and we were watching in the dark. During a suspenseful part of the movie a raccoon ran up a tree outside the cottage and turned on the automatic light and scared the **** out of us. We screamed and ran out of the room.

The original omen still freaks me out and exorcist. I the most scared I can remember being was watch the original Elm Street in my friends basement when we were about 11. The whole concept of getting killed in your sleep was scary. It was the first slasher film I saw on video tape.

[Ozy_Flame]

I'd have to go with "It" as the creepiest film in my books....Good grief do killer clowns (but not ones from Outer Space) scare the crap out of me. Ugh..

Also, I actually found War Games starring Matthew Broderick to be creepy, believe it or not. I know it's not meant to be, but theres something unsettling about a kid playing a DOS game that has the power to start a 'global thermonuclear war.'

Actually on that note, pretty much any movie that had to do with Soviet-nuclear annihilation creeped the **** out of me.

Dion Phaneuf 3: The prince of pain

[Jagger]

The Exocist and The Omen, when I was young, stands out to me. The Shining rates up there too.
