What was the most scariest movie you guys had seen? Either a new movie or an old classic movie. For me, I remember a small part from "Child's Play". I remember a dead guy hanging by his feet, swinging through the room, and the killer doll coming towards the boy with a knife. That part scared me soo bad! Oh, also another movie, "The Excorsict." I haven't seen the movie, but I've heard about it and it seems terrifying. I wouldn't want to see it. I'm not really afraid of the movie Psycho because well, you know why. ;D What about you guys? Which scary movie scared you?

That's a hard question. Any question about a "favorite movie" is hard for me. This question makes it even harder 'cause I grew up on scary movies, so I can handle them pretty well. Also the Behind the Scenes stuff really helps.  But... One movie that I can't watch no matter what would be Day of the Dead. Okay, it's a zombie movie from the, what, 80's? Zombies aren't really terrifying (until they suddenly start to run and climb, that's when it gets scary). However, the gore in this movie is so realistic that I can hardly watch it. Of course, nothing can beat Cannibal Holocaust, but it's not really scary and there are children on this board, so I really shouldn't be discussing the stuff about that movie. Anyway, yeah, the gore is just too realistic (maybe because they used real guts from the slaughterhouses for pigs and cows) and...the way they set it up...Just don't watch it. Period. |

The first horror movie to truly scare me was the 1963 version of The Haunting. Of course, after you know what's gonna happen, it isn't so scary anymore.
Then there's Poltergeist. You know, the one where a kid gets nearly eaten by a tree... that one freaked me out so much I don't know if I'll ever see it again.
I love horror movies, but most of the time it's because of the coolness factor- the style, the atmosphere- or it's really cheesy. I mean I like movies like The Innocents, Nosferatu, Faust, Strait Jacket, Nightmare Before Christmas, or Van Helsing... but they don't really scare me. Then there's of course good ol' Edward D. Wood Jr.'s immortal films... really hilariously awful.
Who here feels the same way I do about Haunted Mansion Holiday and Roger Rabbit's Car Toon Spin? I've only been on them once, but I think they have some real power to them. They have such sheer chaos and utter insanity.

Fatal, you are scared of The Nightmare Before Christmas? You're kidding me! I've watched that, and it's too cheesey to be scary! I mean, it's rated PG!!!

Good grief, no! That's a list of horror movies I think are cool, but not scary. I say so right afterward. Please read my posts more carefully...
That's the way most horror movies are for me. I like them, but they don't scare me. Now, while I don't find Nightmare Before Christmas scary per se, I find that it has something of a lovely, haunting atmosphere when it wants to.
I have to admit, though... I only went on The Haunted Mansion ride with my eyes open for the first time a couple years ago. But that's because the first time I went on it was when I was a little kid, and then my family couldn't afford to go to Disneyland period for several years. Once I decided to finally go on it with my eyes open, the only thing to make me at all nervous was the very first room: the one that has the mirrors and flickering candles and coming before the Ghost Host speaking and taking you into the Stretching Room. It only works if the door is closed and everything's dark.
The queue, or line, of Roger Rabbit's Car Toon Spin still makes me nervous- although I've only been on it with my eyes open once, which was late last year. I wasn't able to go on it before until recently, like The Haunted Mansion. There's something about the dimly-lit mixture of the grittiness and darkness of noir combined with the zaniness and insanity of classic cartoons that gives the ride a nightmarish quality.

I've changed my mind about my scary movie.
The mother of all horror movies goes to Barney: The Movie. *shudder*

I cannot recall a film that really scared me. Frankly i don't think there is one cuz movies don't scare me, life does. I'm serious. Sometimes in life if you experience an array of negative events you discover how dreadful real fear can be. Things that use to scare you suddenly don't.

Sometimes in life if you experience an array of negative events you discover how dreadful real fear can be. Things that use to scare you suddenly don't. I find that true. Horror movies are made to entertain people, really. That's the whole point. Yes, there are some that will be disturbing, but not frightening. The first time you're scared out of your wits because you weren't expecting, say, a zombie to leap out from the corner and attack one of the characters. When you watch it a second time, you're really not that scared because you already know what's going to happen. In real life, it's difficult to expect something to happen. Imagine that you have been in a serious car crash and have lost all feeling below the waist (a.k.a. paralyzed). You can't relive that same experience again! You can't make any changes! Expect the unexpected to happen. Life is the master of horror. Accidents are unpredictable (unless you're psychic) and, in most cases, can be fatal. How many times do you think about life? Anyone? Me, it's when I attempt the process known as sleep. No movie director out there can capture that same fear of life in their movie. You may think about it and might be disturbed about a certain scene, but no one can be frightened about a movie. Ugh, I'm having a hard time explaining this! Anyone heard about that radio broadcast years ago that was based on War of the Worlds? Humanity literally lost their marbles. They started committing suicide or locked themselves in storm shelters and stuff. Sad, really...but I call it an EPIC WIN. I wish I had been around just to have seen their reaction when they realized it was all just a hoax. *laugh* Speaking of predictable, aren't horror movies starting to lose their "jumping out of your seat" moments? They're so predictable! I know who's going to die, where the villain is going to pop out, and the twist (sorry Mr. Shyamalan). Horror movies are so boring! *gasp* I just said it! Boring! Well, not all the time. Horror movies are a good time-killer, but not as entertaining as they used to be. Nowadays I just watch the classics, like Alien and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (original). |

I hardly watch any horror movies made after the 1960's, because after that, it's mostly slasher films, gore, or serial killers with BEEG KNIVES. I'm really not interested in movies that have graphic depictions of people getting their guts torn out by a giant malformed potato man. To me that makes feel sick to my stomach rather than scared.
I prefer horror that has subtlety, grace, and most of all, atmosphere. I suppose you could say that I'm more into "retro", "classic", "classical", "traditional", or "rootsy" horror. So give me a dark, decrepit Victorian mansion over a blood-spewing monster that manipulates your knee-jerk responses any day.
One reason why is that you could never get me to go down a darkened hallway with suits of armor lining the walls, all holding some nasty weapon- or a claustrophobia-nightmare tunnel in a cave. I think at our cores we fear the unknown, what may be lurking around the corner, and things we can't comprehend. That's why the most fear-inducing image a horror movie could ever conjure up, to me anyway, is a dark room where you can't see how to get out. That's why we get scared when we hear strange noises at night, fearing that it may be a burglar.
...And that's why one of favorite horror movies is the 1963 The Haunting. You don't see blood dripping out of the walls, you don't see any skulls popping out the grandfather clock, and you don't even see any ghosts at all. You only hear them, and you only see the results of their malicious handiwork. The house is the monster, and takes its victims by sheer force rather than chomping down on them with huge teeth.

Yes, the 1963 the haunting is indeed well made. It is superior to gore. Anyone can do gore, all one needs is a knife and a stomach to be gutted.
