What's The Scariest Film(S) You've Ever Seen?

[tiggerblue10]

This has probably been asked on here many times but hey ho....I'm tired, bored and no longer in control of the tv remote!

Mine are The Changeling, La Cabina and Wolf Creek. And anything based on real life historical events involving executions.

That would probably be the original tv series which was re-broadcast in the 1980s about twelve oclock at night on saturday nights

Yes that sounds about right I was a very mature 12-14 year old.... I don't know what happened. ;-)

That reminds me that the scariest film I saw as a young teen was the Fall of the House of Usher with Vincent Price. That really frightened me.

It Follows, The Entity (an 80's film) and a film which I can't remember the name of, but it was about a young couple in the USA living in a lovely modern home but they were terrorised by an evil spirit that would stop at nothing to kill them and possess their souls - may sound corny, but it was VERY scary ! I also love a good ghost story, especially the old ones written many years ago which are very atmospheric like Whistle and I will come to you My Lad.

Alien was pretty scary on first watching.
Audition (1999).

[Blubster]

Night of the Demon sits quite high on my list, as does 'The Thing'.

[burlyshirley]

Another one - Drag me to Hell.

[Arksided]

I remember the first time I watched Alien and thinking 'does anything happen in this film'... gosh! I were a youngster.

[Arksided]

The thing oh yes that was scary..

The Whicker Man, the Edward Woodward version, I didn't realise what it was, I never usually watch films where I need a cushion, and the ending really shocked me.

My first scary films were the likes of Frankenstein, Dracula, The Mummy. All quite laughable now. I suppose it has to be The Exorcist. I haven't really watched a lot of scary stuff for years. Doesn't really interest me anymore.

When I was in my mid teens my friend asked if I wanted to go to see an X film.
At the time the big film around was the erotic film Emmanuelle.
I assumed that this film, having a girl's name as the title, would be similar.
We got in, despite being underage. My mate never suggested it was anything other than soft porn.

The film was 'Carrie'.

It scared the crap out of me.

The Haunting 1963 Scared the pants off me . The haunted house in the movie was called ( Hill House ) which is strange because I now live in a house that's built on top of a hill.

[Arksided]

And all the villagers have pitch-forks and lanterns on stand-by. Don't they Dusty.. ;-)

[dustypuss]

Baron Von Dustypuss! I like the idea:-)

Other than the occasional ‘jump-scare’ (Mark
Kermode loves jumps scares), I don’t think I’ve ever actually been scared about a horror film because, well, they’re just films.

However, as a young teenager in the 80s I watched Threads (if anybody remembers it - from
memory it was a BBC drama) which was about the aftermath of a nuclear war, and that scares the bejesus out of me.

[Arksided]

I'm leading the pack of the villagers :-)

I guess when you saw the opening scene you thought your luck was in ...
