Scariest movies you've ever seen?

[Attalus]

Agree with Memnoch that "The Exorcist" was pretty scary. The original The Haunting gave me the cold grues. The wors, though, was Jaws. I hurt my shoulder jumping when that head came through the hole in the boat.

<font color='white'> Stigmata is a catholic thing. Something along the lines of where one feels the pain of a crucifixion. I never watched the movie.

As for my vote, I havent seen a scary movie in a realy. A truley scary movie, we bought Signs the other day, I heard it was scary, but I didnt think so, good film though! I didnt find The Others that scary either. But still, a good movie. I may have to check out the ring, or The Exorcist. </font>

The old lack and white film... "The Haunting of Hill House". That was back when they made Horror movies with little or no blood. They did it with atmosphere.

"Silence of the Lambs" when I watched it alone at about midnight with all the lights off and the cat jumped onto the shelf and knocked over some books. I about peed myself. Stupid Cat!

"Jaws"when it first came out. Same spot Attalus.

"Alien"when the Facehugger falls from the ceiling in the MedLab. I used to watch for the popcorn, it always flew high in the theater...lol. That whole movie was creepy.

There are others of course, but I don't recall them at the moment.

I have seen like every new scary movie but I dont find them scary. The scariest would have to be shining something about that move scared the crap out of me.

I would have to say that one of the scariest movies I have ever seen was the first Halloween. There are so many great, “jump out of your seat” scenes in this movie. As well, it had some of the best scary movie music ever.

Someone else has mentioned the movie Alien; this one also ranks high on my list. I think it has one of the best endings of all time.

Stigmata wasn't all that scary to me... I just really liked it.
The Omen wasn't all that scary either but I liked it.

Now the movie and probably one of the few movies (I don't get scared easily by movies) was It. That movie got to me... all the way to the end. I won't spoil anything but if you have seen it then you know what I am talking about.

<font color='white'> Why was 'It' so scary to everyone? I didnt think it was all that scary...All it was (from what I remember) was a hacker flim that lacked the hacking. </font>

A hacker flim??? What do you mean by a hacker flim. Cause in the movie "It" a group of kids have to fight off a evil, scary, clown. I won't go into detail cause I don't want to spoil it. But, from my knowledge the clown wasn't a hacker... lol

You're probably talking about a different IT, IR. [img]smile.gif[/img] These guys are talking about Stephen King's IT, which is based on a book of his which is pretty damn creepy - I haven't seen it but I've read the book. Stephen King has a way of writing which can't be easily translated to the big or small screen unfortunately - most of the adaptations of his books which I've seen have been crap - I can count the good ones on one hand.

Unless you're talking about hacking in the physical, rather than electronic, sense.

The Shining - yes I forgot that one - the Jack Nicholson version was full of suspense. Suspenseful more so than scary IMHO.

<font color='white'> No I am talking about the Stephen King book/flim. I never read the books, and I never payed much attention to the flim, so I might have a misconception of it.

I have only watched it once, and what I meant by a hacker flim lacking the hacking...Well, a hacking flim is something like Scream, where basicly a people get murdered. And its pretty one dementional.

Now It, they battled this clown that was trying to kill them or something right? But never did or at least I dont remember it. So thus I called it a hacker flim lacking the hacking.

Again..I could be wrong. </font>
