What Do You Think Is A Scary Movie?

[CallieH]

I've never seen a movie that scared me and that makes my other half think I'm a bit weird. He's brought home loads of supposedly scary movies but none of them have done anything for me. Has anyone seen a movie that they thought was really frightening, I'd love to watch one.

Me too, Callie. I am yet to see a scary movie that would scare me.

[MadMen]

I don't really find many films scary. In fact, we watched Paranormal Activity the other night and it was ridiculous!

I did quite like Wolf Creek, as it's based on a true story.

I'm with you callieh. I just can't take horror films seriously enough to be scared.

[CallieH]

It's good to know I'm not alone. Madmen, I watched Paranormal activity and my bloke said there was something wrong with me cause I didn't 'jump'. I've never seen Wolf Creek but I'll give it a try, it's always a bit creepier if it's a true story.

I found "The Shining" to be creepily spooky: not quite scary but verging upon it.

When I was 12 my bro & I bunked into the 'Bug Hutch' to see...
"The Beast With Five Fingers" tarring Peter Lorre. Scared the wits out of me and I couldn't sleep for a week. OOooooooerrr!!!

Moonraker - well it does now ...

[CallieH]

Love the Shining but it's not scary. Jemisa, I've never seen that one. Might have to give it a try then

"that video" with Tulisa.

[MadMen]

Lol Captain Kirk.
Now that WAS scary!!

[CallieH]

Anything with Tulisa is a bit frightening I suppose

The old Mystery and Imagination used to scare me. I find reading a scary book can be scarier than a scary film; more atmospheric.

When I was about 10 or 11 the film "The Innocents" was shown on tv and I had trouble sleeping that night - haven't been able to watch that film since. It has been shown on Sky in recent weeks but have never felt brave enough to watch it again

"I did quite like Wolf Creek, as it's based on a true story."

I also liked it but I don't think that it is based on a true story. It was advertised as being 'based on true events' i.e. several cases were merged and then added to to create the storyline.

Stir of Echoes is very good but loses its way towards the end.

One of the finest scary/horror films I have ever seen is 'Rec.'...highly recommended.

[MadMen]

Matt, stop trying to ruin things! lol

Ok, so maybe it wasn't real "real", but can we not just pretend?? x

[CallieH]

I agree horseshoes, I've read several books that were scary, I think it's because you create the images yourself so you see what YOU think is frightening. I hate watching movies when I've already read the book because 99% of the time they suck

[Mattk]

Ok but I'm not being 'head on a stick'!

[vodkancoke]

I'm a wuss and I am happy to admit it! Even spoof horror-type films freak me out! I don't like to be frightened, I have a vivid imagination and scary films stay with me far longer than they should.
I can't remember the name of the worst one I have seen and I refuse to Google it in case some freaky image comes up on the screen! (I know, I'm pathetic! lol )

[MadMen]

Lol! :))

See!!! That bit was gross!
