Best scary movies for SOUND! - Blu-ray Forum

red-blu · 08-09-2011, 06:20 AM

As I just rewatched Paranormal Activity and The Shining, I've been constantly thinking about preparing a movies for this October. However, instead of just looking for the 'best' scary movie recommendations, I was hoping to figure out which ones you find have the best audio?

And by "best," that can mean 'utilizes a nice sound system to the max' -- or perhaps more importantly 'is very effective in terms of the movie/suspense/etc.'

So, any recommendations?

Insidious.

Mandalorian · 08-09-2011, 06:23 AM

Calling it "scary" is a stretch, but since it's a Horror film, I'll say The Wolfman has killer ausio.

Pandorum has great surround activity!

red-blu · 08-09-2011, 06:49 AM

I'd like to see Insidious. And Pandorum does sound like a good option for sound! Thanks and keep them coming!

Yep. Honorable mention to The Exorcist: Extended Version.

wow, I guess we're all on the same wavelength. Before I even read replies, my first thoughts were Pandorum and The Strangers

Andrewtst · 08-09-2011, 08:46 AM

Insidious

DiscoDan · 08-09-2011, 08:49 AM

Drag Me to Hell also comes to mind. I don't have the BD, but I remember the sound being extra spooky at the theater.

mankhan · 08-09-2011, 09:03 AM

I think The Haunting (1999)

dvdmike · 08-09-2011, 10:10 AM

If it ever comes out, The House on Haunted Hill

It is!

Drag Me To Hell and The Orphanage. Both have amazing surround sound and incredibly intricate details and depth to them. Pretty creepy too.

On both films, I've "heard" scenes from the films with the TV and lights turned off and it scary as hellllllllllllllll. You kinda get the feeling that all this creeping and movement is happening right in the room.

Abaddon22 · 08-09-2011, 10:51 AM

Silent Hill

Trekkie313 · 08-09-2011, 11:44 AM

The Changeling (Not the Angelina Jolie crap)

u_nick · 08-09-2011, 11:58 AM

Akira

The Others had an incredible mix on DVD, hopefully the Blu-ray does as well.
