Scary Movies

I find slasher movies boring. The movies that really creep me out are suspense with violence. "Derailed", "What Lies Beneath" and "Unfaithful". Those movies totally creep me out. I have not been able to see any of them more than once.

I saw Blair Witch opening weekend before the secrets really came out. It scared the wits out of me.

When I saw Carrie in the movie theater,I screamed when the hand came up out from the grave.

While probably not actually being termed a horror film, The Bad Seed has always stayed with me.

there was one, I think called "the stepfather", and also a japanese horror movie called "the grudge", I think that was the most recent scariest one I've seen.

My friends and I just watched the Haunting last night (and Charade, which I love). I'm curious about the book now. I enjoyed the movie and felt a tiny bit creeped out by it, so it was a good Halloween movie. But I feel like it was missing some more background information and elaboration that could have made it better. One of my friends doesn't like scary movies but she enjoyed this, so it was really nice that everyone liked it.

The last movie that really really really (really) scared me was The Exorcism of Emily Rose, yet the Exorcist did nothing for me. Go figure. I had nightmares for weeks and kept waking up at 3 am and then freaking out that the demons were coming for me.

Just the thought of it now gives me the creeps. And I know some people who didn't think it was scary at all.

I think scary movies are very personal things.

i think Mike Oldfield's Tubular Bells is scarier than The Exorcist.
Kind of like the Twilight Zone theme...

Oh Snap - I'm so with you there! DH and I watched it once at a friend's house. He wants to re-watch it. I've refused.

He's trying to get me to watch the Shining with him. It's not going well...

The Shining is good! I can watch it. Scary, but did not horrify me like Seven.

When I was younger in the 70's I would go with my boyfriend and watch horror films with Vincent Price in them but they were not too bad.

Several years later I had the misfortune to watch 'Chain Saw Massacre'

.................OMG, it was awful, I could not watch all of it. Certain images stayed in my head for a long while.

Nowadays I never ever watch any scary films, even TV drama's that involve murder scenes with blood everywhere, cannot watch those.

Nah, sooner watch childrens films at the cinema with my Grandson.

DH and I have a list of movies we watch around Halloween. I was only able to watch I Am Legend once, but I think a lot of that has to do with the dog. The Village still scares the bejesus out of me in certain spots and of course The Exorcist. Any movie where someone is speaking a language that they shouldn't and in a voice that is not their own, I can't handle it.

I saw The Blair Witch Project on a bootleg that someone we know got from someone who knew someone who knew someone from the Sundance Fest or something like that. The movie was so scary then, before all the hype.
