Discussing scary movies with co-workers My definition is different than some. Scary for me, What Ever Happened to Baby Jane, Psycho, Seven. Jason Vorhees, Michael Myers, Freddy Kruger don't exist. Crazy People do. __________________________________________________________________________________ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Always remember that others may hate you but those who hate you don't win unless you hate them.

When I watched The Ring, I wasn't scared afterward like I usually am when watching a horror movie. But seven days later, I was curled up under my covers while trying my best to only occupy the half that was farthest away from the television that sat at the foot of my bed. I get scared by most scary movies.

First Alien was awesome. I have to believe that somewhere out there are creatures/beings that would not be friendly to us. Forbidden Planet, Day The Earth Stood Still, and the original Outer Limits scared the crap out of me when I was a kid. | |||

Gothic haunted houses creep me out, so I love The Haunting (1963) and The Innocents (1961). Also claustrophobic situations, so I was unnerved in The Decent (2005). Oh, and that scene in Aliens where they seal Lance Henriksen into the small pipe and he has to squirm on his belly all the way to the radar dish? F-that, man!
Michael Myers is a crazy person in the first film - stone cold psychopathic. It's only in the sequels that he becomes a supernatural ridiculously unkillable boogeyman. | |||

This, scariest movie I've ever seen | |||

It's a given that we find "bug-eyed monsters" and supernatural beings scary. The OP refers to people who you wouldn't notice if you passed by them on the street. Also, their behaviors are something that all human beings are capable of. A member here has a signature line: "We all have demons, mine are just well fed." We keep these demons buried and suppressed in our "id," something that Forbidden Planet addressed. I only saw the commercialized and sanitized version of it - and on the Lifetime channel, no less - but Orphan was pretty creepy.  | |||

Also Jason was not the killer in Friday the 13th. His crazy mom was. These go to eleven. | |||

Pandorum That movie completely freaks me out. I still can't sit through it by myself. All the Alien movies. Those things are by far the creepiest and scariest made up life forms ever. Similar creatures made an appearance in Pitch Black and the second half of that movie makes me squirm in my seat as well... !~God Bless the U.S. Military~!

There are definitely different categories of scary. Slasher/stalker flicks I categorize as "thriller" type movies. Typically, the movies that scare me tend to be on the paranormal side. As several have mentioned, Even Horizon is a favorite. However, I tend to prefer when the movie leaves more to the imagination. I have a hard time thinking of a movie that once the ghost/creature/etc is shown, it actually makes the movie scarier. This is one reason I really liked the first Paranormal Activity movie. It showed nothing. This is why darkness is scary, because of the imagination. ------------------------------ I'm a right wing, anti-illegal, pro-life, gun owning, straight, white, college educated, politically informed, conservative, Christian male.

As I stated before, I am frequently scared by scary movies; however, Paranormal Activity is a total fucking joke. I literally started laughing every time the music started up to foreshadow something about to happen. This movie is one of the few that caused me to do the black thing and yell at the screen.

I have to agree. Never understood the success of this movie. The Conjuring I have to say though was pretty good for a scare. That was the last great scary movie I've watched since The Ring. The Ring got me because I was working on a harbor tug at the time it came out in the theaters. We were tied up to the dock until the morning so the rest of the crew who all lived local went home while I went out to see the cinema to see a movie. Saw The Ring. I went back to the tug where I slept onboard by myself on a quiet, creaky boat with my tv at the foot of my bed. I kept expecting it to turn on and the Ring video to start playing. I really freaked myself out that night. ~Alan Acta Non Verba NRA Life Member (Patron) God, Family, Guns, Country Men will fight and die to protect women... because women protect everything else. ~Andrew Klavan "Once there was only dark.

Alfred Hitchcock films by far. Your imagination fills in the details. People are all different. The Changeling which is based on a true story was frightening if you have small children, do not trust authorities, and enjoy an element of mystery. That was Clint Eastwood directed. | |||

The Conjuring was definitely scary. As in bad shit was coming, you were ready, you mutter, and DAMN. Got you. Last really scary movie I've seen. | |||
