Truely Scarriest Horror Movies Ever?

[trancejeremy]

"Prince of Darkness". That's just a creepy movie

"Close Encounters of the thrid kind". The scene where the UFOs are harassing the kid and the single mother. (And that kid is creepy, too). (Actually, any non-silly movie about UFOs will scare me, as I have this phobia about them, for some reason)

"The Wizard of Oz" - Those flying monkeys just creep me out.

I would have to say The Exorcist, The Omen and The Last Man On Earth were the most scariest.

Second vote for all the ones on this list. First Nightmare was very good. Blair Witch was well executed. Omen freaked me the hell out when I was a kid (I've got this 999-shaped birthmark).

To me, any movie that deals with the whole religious thing of angels and demons kinda bug me. I guess I'm not as much scared as slightly... disturbed. Vampires, though, bug me also -- I think because I have a thing about needles, and their fangs remind me of them.

Another vote for The Exorcist and The Shining. I'd be tempted to put in Jaws, but I've seen it so much now that, while I love it, it just isn't all that scary compared to those other two.

The Exorcist. I made the mistake of going to the theater to see it when they re-released it a few years ago. Sheesh. I had only seen it on TV before that, but the big screen was a definite notch up.

It's amazing how BAD the sequel was.

For some reason, anything involving Bigfoot or similar critters gives me the creeps. Just the quick Patterson video (you've seen it, the one that shows a Bigfoot beside a stream or something) can have me turning on lights. In fact, especially the Patterson video.

One movie that has stayed with me is, oddly enough, a TV movie called 'Don't Be Afraid of The Dark' where this young couple buy a house and open this bolted plate in the basement. It leads to a seemingly bottomless hole and they just forget about it. Then the wife starts seeing these little creatures around. Her husband thinks she's going nuts. The things talk to her and say they want her soul. At the end, she's taken some sedatives and they come for her, drag her off the bed and into the hole in the basement. Meanwhile the husband, having figured out the truth, is rushing back to get his wife. The movie ends with the camera pulling away from the house while you hear the things whispering. The wife's voice joins in, talking about how they'll take the huisband next. Creeeeepy

But the third one had that scene with the hedge clippers, right? THAT was scary. I only saw it once, DECADES ago, and I still get chills thinking about it now.

WayneLigon I remember that one!! Yeah, I saw that one way back when I was a kid. 70's movie I think. Was great, and the little guys reminded me of Pygmies. Little tribal like things. Definately was a creepy movie.

Keep em coming folks.
