I agree. The movie never really interested me at all-but I decided to watch one night by myself after everyone went to bed I love this movie!

It may sound funny, but while watching Signs at the theather I was gripping my wife's hand so hard that it left ring imprints on her fingers for hours afterward. When we got home I noticed that I had accidently left our slider door open. Usually this, to me,would be no big deal but remember that I had just sat through a suspenseful movie and I was still "on edge". Instantly images of aliens on the roof, trapped in pantrys, the cornfield scene and then finding one in your own house all ran through my head.

That was the fastest I've EVER flew through the house checking under beds and in closets and locking doors behind me.

I can watch ANY american horror without even flinching an eyebrow, but when it comes to Asian horror, like Ju-On, Ringu...etc..especially the one with dead pissed off asian girls with long black hair, it creeps me out! American remakes of asian horror still creeps me out, but it lacks the feeling and mood of thier asian counterparts. JMO

[Batman1980]

The Exorcist
Amityville Horror(remake)
The Ring
Friday the 13th
The Exorcism of Emily Rose
Texas Chainsaw Massacre(remake)
The Omen(original)

[N2TrAnC3]

Poltergeist would be my favorite but the Exorcist is by far the scariest. /thread

I remember when I was a kid 'The Brood' and "The Funhouse' scared the bejesus out of me.

The Exorcist
Jacob's Ladder
The Entity
The Shining
Fire in the Sky

One thing that I noticed in this thread is the statement "When I was a kid--insert "R"-rated horror movie title here-- scared the hell out of me. I find this interesting. How old were you really when you first saw these films? Did your parents actually let you see them, or did you sneak them? When I was a kid, we didn't even have cable. We didn't get that until I was in high school, we didn't get our first VCR until I was a senior in high school, so there really was no option of me seeing these movies. The only scary movies I was able to see were on regular television late Saturday night, when they showed old horror movies. A few of them I found to be frightening, but I can't really remember any of them now. I saw my first actual "R"-rated film when I was 12. It was the Amityville Horror. I had read the book and begged my Parents to let me see it. Two of my sisters took me to the Drive In (you remember those, don't you?) to see it. It really disappointed me and I didn't find it particularly scary. I didn't see another "R"-rated film unil we got cable and I stayed up every night, trying to watch as many movies as I possibly could. I'm not trying to derail the thread here, but it seems that times have changed and many people are allowing their children to see "R"-rated films sooner than they used to.

I don't know, maybe it was the atmosphere mixed with age and hype. Either way, those types of movies creep me out.

It surprises me to see movies with characters named Jason or Freddy on lists, but it happens.

One things for sure, if they edited The Thing by only using CGI on the hoakiest segments of claymation stuff, but left the rest intact, IMO it would be the scariest movie ever!

[TheStuck]

No order

1)The Decent
2)In the Mouth of Madness
3)Silence of the Lambs
4)Nightmare of Elm Street
5)Event Horizon
6)Halloween
7)28 Days Later

Still havent seen The Orphange. I always forget to pick it up.

[AKORIS]

basing these choices on being scary-- not my necessarily my favorite
horror flicks-- in no order--

THE GRUDGE
THE RING
THE EXORCIST
THE DESCENT
SESSION 9
THE BROOD
BURNT OFFERINGS
BLACK CHRISTMAS (1974)
HILLS HAVE EYES (1977)
and as a genre-- I find zombie films frightening because I can't think of a
creepier scenario than being surrounded by dead people that want to eat
me!!

Any horror films that are psychological as opposed to supernatural always get my nerves on edge because it is that real horror lurking under the human psyche like the ability to lose it at any given moment and give in to insanity. Here are a few that are quite disturbing.

Burnt offerings (Oliver Reed goes nuts while doing what he does best)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ntNTwDR7J_A

Requiem for a dream (although not a horror its message about addiction and what it does to us is very very disturbing)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lgo3Hb5vWLE

Audition (The fact that the innocent seeming girl can turn at the end due to her tortured past is scary)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yhsrsWcEspc

Invasion of the body snatchers - 1978 (This one is supernatural but extremely paranoid. The lack of trust throughout and that image of Donald Sutherlands face at the end gets me every time)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mTSR6...eature=related

Repulsion (Isolation, paranoia, insanity, pretty much assaults the senses)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iO0niGPR5S4

Cannibal holocaust (The one that goes all the way. The score, the real-life animal attacks the surrounding controversy, very freaky indeed)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bhSfT7yBF3U

The Texas chainsaw massacre (The original and best, first film that really shocked me to the core, I'll never travel through the American countryside, ever!!!)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=285ImXTYdsg

If anybody is looking for a quality book on the genre itself I recommend you check out this book. Great definitive guide expertly written by renowned horror critic Kim Newman, you won't be disappointed, I found some great gems in there I never even heard of before and I am a huge fan of the genre.

We had cable when I was a kid (in the 80's) and my mom was really into horror movies. She always let my sister and I watch them growing up. As long as we didn't repeat the words or start wigging out, she was cool. I've seen them all from Nightmare on Elm St. to Fright Night as a kid. FYI - I'm now 27.
