2. I'm actually watching Friday the 13 part I right now.

The blonde girls is by herself making coffee and wondering where Bill went. I've never seen this before, but I keep thinking, "It's only a matter of time blondie!"

[RevCheesehead]

3. Top of the list: Fahrenheit 9/11

I can't think of any others. :scared:

Oh, wait - "The China Syndrome".

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

4. My favorite creepy movies:

The Night of the Hunter
Prince of Darkness
Carrie
The Ring
Dead Ringers

[suzbaby]

5. I've only heard of Carrie and The Ring on your list.

I'll have to check the others out sometime. :)

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

6. They are very creepy.

The Night of the Hunter is an old movie starring Robert Mitchum as a murderous preacher who is trying to hunt down and kill a couple of children. Scared the crap out of me when I first saw it.

Prince of Darkness is a John Carpenter movie about some researchers who find a strange container in an old church. It turns out that it contains Satan. Satan's father is an even more powerful evil being who was banished to another dimension. Satan attempts to bring his "father" into this world by pulling him through a dimensional portal. It sounds bizarre, but it's so creepy I was only able to watch it once.

And Dead Ringers is a David Cronenberg film starring Jeremy Irons, playing dual roles as insane twin gynecologists, one of whom invents weird medical instruments. Very disturbing.

10. Prince of Darkness was good and creepy

[Broken_Hero]

7. Here I go...

1. Jaws

2. Jaws II

3. In the Mouth of Madness

4. Event Horizon

5. Troll...(I think?)

[Monkey see Monkey Do]

8. 1) Ghostwatch

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0200659/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghostwatch
I was 12, watched it alone and still haven't quite forgiven the BBC. I literally had nightmares for weeks.



2) A Nightmare on Elm Street - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0087800/



3) Funny Games - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0119167/



4) La Cabina (The Phone Box) - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0065513/



5) Exorcist III: Legion - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0099528/
There are many overall scarier films than this, but I've picked it because it has the scariest OMFG! heart-in-mouth moment I can think of. I'd love to see something close Blatty's original cut of this (the studio forced rewrites/reshoots).

[sakabatou]

15. Wasn't there a recent remake of La Cabina?

The Phone Booth?

[leftofthedial]

9. Top 5 crap scarers

1. Halloween
2. Alien
3. The Ring
4. Jacob's Ladder
5. Fahrenheit 9/11

[CabalPowered]

11. Similar to yours. I'd add Candyman.

That movie scared the crap out of me in HS.

[Coventina]

12. I'll play....1. The Shining

I didn't sleep for days after seeing that movie.

2. Psycho

3. The Omen

4. Invasion of the Body Snatchers (the 70s version)

5. The Birds

All original versions except "Body Snatchers"

[UTUSN]

13. Question about The Shining

Got chills --NOT in the crazed-NICHOLSON scenes-- but where the wife looks at the pages of the "book" he's been typing, and it's all, "The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog."

Question: Why was Stephen KING unhappy with it and need to re-do it? I've tried watching his version a couple of times and never got far with it.

My FIRST scariest movie was when I was a kid of 5 or 6? THEM!!!1 About atomically enlarged giant fireants killing people with their pincers. Their chirping sound!!!1

[alphafemale]

14. As I understand, King did not have creative control of the 1st "Shining"

He was never happy with it.

[mykpart]

16. Most of mine are old:

War of the Worlds (The 1950s version with Gene Barry)

Horrors of the Black Museum - British film, probably Hammer, from late 50s.

Psycho (The original)

The Haunting (The 1960s version with Claire Bloom and Julie Harris)

Nightmare on Elm Street

[acmavm]

18. Horrors of the Black Museum. Loved it. I loved all of the old Hammer

films.

Also the original House on Haunted Hill was quite the trend setter for its time. And The Hand.

Such a simpler time.

[Frank Cannon]

17. I'd replace IT on your list with John Carpenter's The Thing

But I'd keep all the other choices in roughly that order.

[suzbaby]

20. IT made me afraid

to go to the bathroom or near any pipes for months. For a while, I was the quickest pee'er in the west. :D

[Taverner]

19. Here's mine

1 - 28 Days Later

2 - Serpent and the Rainbow

3 - The Vanishing (Dutch Version)

4 - Ju-On

5 - Haute Tension (High Tension)
