There is a great British horror movie from the 60's called "Peeping Tom". Its about a voyeur who kills objects of his desire with the tripod of his camera. Very psychological and I was the only one in my Horror Films class (yay college) who got all the sexual undertones.
Ring use to scare me, never saw the second one and haven't seen the first one since it came out, but the girl coming out of the screen scared me like crazy
I totally have to agree with spooky The Blair Witch was. The first time I saw it, I couldn't stop shaking or crying. The ending was so frightening for me... after it ended, my dad looked at me and said "Wanna go camping?" I just looked at him with the evil eye! The sequel was more of a weird creepy but still I found it enjoyable.
WOLF CREEK!! My friend and I could hardly bare to watch parts and kept saying to each other "it's ok it's only a movie" then at the end it says it is based on a TRUE STORY!! OMG soooooooo scary
Well, if you are talking CLASSICS, I am surprised nobody mentioned Hitchcock's "Psycho". 900295, you should check out any of Alfred Hitchcock's movies. He is the master of the psychological thriller. Other "classics" worth checking out are The Haunting (1963), The Innocents , Wait Until Dark (Audrey Hepburn classic). Freaks (1932) is one of those movies that is hard to categorize. It is a bit creepy. Definitely worth watching. One of the weirdest movies you will ever see. There are a number of other good ones that I can remember the storyline, but can't remember the title. When I do, I will post back.
I can't believe I forgot about "Psycho"!! I love the original, and the remake (with Vince Vaughan) was also pretty good.
I also really liked Hitchcock's "Rear Window". We watched it for a Sociology class (I think) in high school; I loved it.
The original old black-and-white version of "The Haunting" is a great one. Look for the old version of the English movie called "Dead Of Night". "I Walked With A Zombie" is another old one that is very creepy. For newer ones, try "Open Water", "Demonic", "Re-Animator", "Cabin Fever", "Forsaken", "The Stepfather", and "The Dentist". And the absolute best version of Dracula ever (no kidding) - the BBC version of "Count Dracula" with Louis Jordan as Dracula, Frank Finlay as Van Helsing, and Judi Bowker as Mina - now available on DVD. Mario Bava's "Black Sunday" with Barbara Steele. And "The Howling" is a great werewolf movie. And of course, you must see "The Exorcist" and Alfred Hitchcock's "Psycho".
"Chucky" scared me so badly-i only saw 5 minutes of it and I locked my door shut for a week! Also, this old leprechaun movie scared the living daylights out of me! Pretty much anything with evil dolls, leprechauns, dummies, or clowns makes me scream aloud!!
I'm not usually scared by movies but Halloween was kind of scary to me. And one time I was watching Texas chainsaw massacre and then later that night at around 2 am I heard something outside and I thought it was a chainsaw but it was just my neighbor on his motorcycle. Lol
Depends on what you find scary. Garfield use to give me nightmares. Try 'Experiment in Terror', the original 'When a stranger calls' and 'When a stranger calls back' 'Wait until Dark'.
I seen when a stranger calls.. I forgot about that one. I was home alone and it was dark when I watched it
So it was a little scary
Rosemary's baby, that one still scares the crap out of meQuote:

The Grudge I is probably one of the scariest movies I have ever seen...Quote:

Those are good zombie movies... but to get a real treat when it comes to horror, I would emphatically recommend the After Dark Horrorfest movies. More specifically, watch:
Unrest
The Abandoned
Those are must-see! And, on a side note, it seems like those independent films are doing the best jobs when it comes to actually making people scared and not just showing me innards... woo, you cut off someone's arm again, oh no, not an eyeball hanging out (yes, I'm looking at you, Hostel)
Anyway, I hope those 4 movies I listed help scare the crud out of you!
Juon to the jap version of the gruge 2 has got to be the scariest film I've seen in a very long time.
Darkness Fall is a good one.
Dog Soldiers if you don't like Werewolves.
One of my favorites is Rose Red It's a Steven King one that mess with your head a bit and it is a very long movie I think it goes for about 6 hours.
I think it is the Japanize version of The Ring is meant to be a lot scarier than the English version.
I haven't got round to seeing them yet but the Chucky movies are meant to be good.
Best/Worst "Horror" Titles is a list of what is meant to the best and worst horror titles.
You should watch when darkness falls, all the nightmare on elm street movies, I'm a big fan of horror movies and I find most of them funny? These however scared the crap out of meQuote:

Puerto Rican friend of mine told me that he saw the original Nosterafu as a kid, and had nightmares for years! "Shadow..." is about the making of that movie. If you haven't seen it, I recommend that you don't ask, or read anything about it. It is a treat.

Yes, the first "Night of the Living Dead" was filmed in and around my hometown. I was young and this made the film very scary, All the areas that they were mentioning in the film were right "next door". In the film, towards the end there was a scene where the reporter was walking in the morning with the police and other officials and this guy was also the regular reporter on local TV. This made it even more powerful, very scary.Quote:

When I was a really little kid I remember watching an episode of Night Gallery that absolutely, positively traumatized me - to the point that even as an adult I needed to make sure that my closet door was closed before going to bed at night.
This is my remembrance (as I was watching from behind the couch when I should have been in bed): There is this creature that lives in the walls of an attic. A woman talks to the being and they seem to have some sort of a tenuous relationship. Things happen and her husband gets mad at her and he goes up to the attic. A thump... and then the husband slowly walks down the stairs and as he turns towards his wife we all know the creature is within him!! :eek:
He kills her and I can't sleep at night because the entrance to my family's attic is IN MY CLOSET!! :eek: :eek: :eek:
Last year the new cable station Chiller began running all the Night Galleries. I obsessively Tivoed every one trying to find that one episode in hopes of facing the fear and getting it out of my system. At last I get it: "Something in the Woodwork." I clutch my husband's hand while I watch it... and it was totally lame!! Hokey and really not scary at all. I felt pretty stupid, but now I can sleep with the closet doors open. :p
The poltergeist movie's, they always scared the crap out of me and my friends
The scariest movie (also a book) is the original black and white Haunting of Hill House.
The Haunting (1963/I)
I'm not kidding when I say I couldn't watch the movie in it's entirety until I was in my 30's. The surprising thing about this movie is that not much actually happens except for a few really scary things. It's the build-up of suspense that gets you. The movie was absolute butchered in the 1999 version where they went all hollywood on it and ruined it.
Innocents from hell
I would have to say the excorsist,and suspiria also when a stranger calls but the original.

When I was a kid my friends sister had a all girl sleep over. She was in High School and she asked me to get her the scariest movie I could think of for her party
That movie was The Entity!
Now that I think about it it may not have been age appropriate and I was told that a few of the girls had nightmares for days after.
There's not that many good horrors out now and none that I can say scares me looking at them now I wish there was 1 I love horrors.when I was akid the ones that did scare me was nightmare on elm st,holloween,american werewolf in london and the one that really fcked me up was salems lot especially the part when the 2 brothers get lost in the park and during the night 1 brother floats to his brothers room as a vampire that played on my mind big still as a 9 year old the omen and the exorcist are good as well.the exorsim of emily rose isn't bad for a scare either.
Well, there is wide range of classics but the old ones may not scary for u. darcula, exorist, night of living deads, animal semitary, freddy or the cloud are pretty much the classics and I still enjoy them. However now the Japanese are the best dark waters or ringu are much more scrary then the good old classics...
Event Horrizon, The Mist, Darkness
I can remember one movie I saw from the mid to late 80's that was called Rawhead Rex. I will scare the hell out of you!
I'm love horror movies watching them over but the two I won't watch again is the first grudge and silent hill creeped me out
YEH!!
Like All These People Said,
Amityville Horror The New 1 Definitely Omg Im Only S******* Myself Because Its Based On A True Story Lol, And The Ring And The Ring 2!
I always thought the movies, American warewolf in London and Poltergeist were pretty scary. Exorcist is also very scary. Now I know you might laugh at me but I just saw One missed call, and I got to tell you, that was pretty good. Scary. Well good luck with that and let me know what scared you. Lol
The Hills Have Eyes I & II
House on haunted hill scared the hell out of me and my friend.
