I watched The Fog when I was a child and when I woke up that night, one of those creepy people that were wearing a cloak were standing at the bottom of my bed. He dissapeared when I started screaming and crying.
I love watching scary films but still cant bring myself to watch that one now.
I'd have to say Halloween, since I've never had the guts to watch some of the others, such as Exorcist, Psycho, etc. I'm not one to watch scarey movies, because I know how I'll be.
gemini37: i did an earlier thread about the best character from a scary movie and it came down to freddy and other. now i,m wondering which movie actually scared you the most!!
None of the above you mentioned.
The scariest to date is called "Grandma's Boy" directed by Adam Sandler. Scariest cheese I have ever seen.....
trixiestwins: Any movie where the villain is a real person...not someone that keeps coming back after being killed numerous times. The idea that what is happening in the movie could be real, that is what is scary.
I agree, that movie "The Hitcher" was scary. Thats why I dont pick up hitch hikers.
The one that scared me the most was actually "idiocracy" not only as a potential reality for the world we live in but the fact that it was done as a comedy made the possibility even more likely!!
pesh121: my housemate likes japanese horror movies..korean and all those other non english horror movies..and she cant even speak any of the language(japanese or korean)she told me she just rely on subtitles..its just funny for me because by the time the movie will scare you, your eyes are still reading the subtitle and cant really focus on what is showing on the screen..unless you dont care how the story goes..just there for the suspense
I used to watch several times. It is sort of possible to watch both. All I know is that I laugh at a lot of horror films, but that one freaked me out initially. I think the Asian film makers know that fear originates in the mind, not from American gimmicks like a guy in a creepy costume or lots of unexpected loud noises, etc.
"Night of the Living Dead" (original B&W) was the only movie to ever scare me...but then, I was 5 or 6 when it came out.
Most horror movies are too cheesy to be really scary; poorly written scripts not well thought out, poor acting--making the movie rely upon sudden loud sounds and flashes for shock factors. Although hats off to make-up and graphics artists for the most part. Even some of the more cheesier horror movies have had very good graphics, but the scripts and acting have killed them.
A good example is "Jaws" For its time, very good detail went into that mechanical shark. Some of the actors did their best to carry the weight but most of them were soooo unconvincing. And the script?...please...If I got bit by something in the water, you're dern'd straight I'd be high-tailing my behind out of that water ASAP instead of just standing there wondering what just bit me and allow it to come around for another taste. But that seems to be the trend expected in B-rates.
The original exorcist is untouchable by modern movies. The stuff they showed in it probably isn't even legal in today's movies (imagine a movie explicitly showing a mother going down on her own daughter!??! ). I walked out of that movie wondering if I'd hallucinated parts of it....
Scariest moments: The whole exorcism scene in "The Exorcist" but I was young then. The scene where the thing is pressing against the door in the 1960 "The Haunting".And the scene where it is whispering in the dark to Eleanor But lately....the scene in "The Grudge" where the guy in the deserted office sees the girl leaving the trail of blood...and then she turns around...
