What's the scariest movie you've ever seen? And don't give me that Exorcist crap.

I'd have to say the original texas chainsaw massacre. I saw that movie when I was 5 years old (evil father I had) and it scared the living shit out of me that I had nightmares for a few years. Just watched it recently and it still scared me in some parts. *shivers*

Didn't catch that one till I was almost grown and by then, I'd already seen the New Generation one with Matthew McConaughey and his remote control leg. AHAHAHAHAHAHHAAAAA

The Ring was pretty scary, but most people will tell you that it's an "experience" movie. In other words, you have to be in the right setting. The theater was nice and so was sitting at home alone in the dark.

But I don't get scared at movies very easily.

Amytiville Horror always got to me because it was supposed to be a true story. The first Poltergeist gives me the heeby jeebies. Alien is a good one, but it's more of an aged sci-fi movie at this point.

That's all I can think of. I'll let you know.

The "Based on a True Story" ones always get me, that's why I watch Blow once a week. The Amityville Horror, it's such a classic. And made before Margot Kidder went coo-koo!

They're supposedly remaking AH, but I'm sure they'll screw it up.

I treid to reply to this at least a dozen times last night, but no go.

I was TRYING to say that the following scared the bejesus out of me the first time I saw them:

Alien (I think maybe the scariest film)
Halloween (just the music alone sets the hairs up)
The Blob (granted I was 6 at the time and it gave me nightmares for years)
The Fog (John Carpenter version, had me in the cold sweats when I was about 15)

I haven't seen The Fog, but I added it to the list. For some reason, this made me think of The Hitcher with Thomas C. Howell. You know, the one where the hitchhiker ties his girlfriend between 2 semi-trucks then BYE BYE girlfriend! It was great.

I read they made a sequel to that somewhere. I am sure it was pretty darn sucky though.

That was the high point of C tom Howell's career really, wasn't it?

I wonder what the C stands for.

reply with your first thought...

loca_weda July 2 2004, 08:42:41 UTC

Shit, I know it's C. Thomas Howell dammit. All sequels suck, with the exceptions being Godfather 2 and Terminator 2. Can't think of any others.

First thoughts are fine, don't worry. We passed crazy 2 journals ago.

I still can't listen to the noise those alien machines make in War of the Worlds.

Scared me, and scarred me for life.

I saw an episode of Twilight Zone once that had a doll with the most horrifying laugh. Gave me nightmares for years.

psychomagnet July 10 2004, 08:24:34 UTC

Oh, thanks for reminding me. Twilight Zone...ugh.

That little Ken-sized doll that kept chasing the guy with the knife, hacking at his legs

ya ya ya ya!

Still scared that stupid thing is going to come after me when I get up in the middle of the night.

as far as visual imagery, i'd have to say the shining. the image of those girls in the hallway stuck with me for so long. even as an adult, reaching the end of a hallway that then turns to another hallway, i look over half-expecting to see them standing there. :/

psychologically, signs fucked with me pretty badly. i think he does a masterful job of making you scare yourself without the use of scary imagery. i still expect one day to hear those thud-thud-thud footsteps on my roof one night.

random confession of the day: i was really am kinda afraid of the dark.
