Phillies Posted October 26, 2017 Posted October 26, 2017 John Carpenter's The Thing. There is another movie that scarred me from back in the day: Event Horizon. Problem is its directed by Paul W.S. Anderson. That means the plot is going to suck but there are some decently scary scenes, especially if you are watching this late at night, in highschool and stoned :420: :420:
quebecelegy Posted October 26, 2017 Posted October 26, 2017 probably capitalism a love story, because while i didn't agree with all of it, it made me realize that we're too far into this shitstorm to get out really easily. and as an impressionable teen, it sticks with you more than it should.
Sandstone Posted October 26, 2017 Posted October 26, 2017 Actually terrified seeing it? There are a few that come to mind (which will all be on my list coming btw)... Most recently was The Babadook Overall and probably most extreme would be Pascal Laugier's Martyrs (2008), also one of the most gruesome films I've ever seen as well... It was part of the New French Extremity cinema movement.

Bouvre Posted October 26, 2017 Posted October 26, 2017 The Thing is up there for me. Others that shook me: The Shining Kill List Cache Picnic at Hanging Rock They Look Like People The Invitation The Others
stilgar Posted October 26, 2017 Posted October 26, 2017 the conjuring and annabelle movies because they are based on TRUE events! Lol. You would believe that.
Phillies Posted October 26, 2017 Author Posted October 26, 2017 The Thing is up there for me. Others that shook me: The Shining Kill List Cache Picnic at Hanging Rock They Look Like People The Invitation The Others Honestly I don't see what is so good about the shining.
Azalar Hex Posted October 26, 2017 Posted October 26, 2017 Silent Hill. Though I think that was more because of all the references to the game, which made me shit a little when I played it as a kid. Well, maybe not so much scared as filled with a kind of sick dread.
discolé monade Posted October 26, 2017 Posted October 26, 2017 there are few. 'old boy' (2005) 'pumpkin head' 'jeepers creepers' 'annabelle:creation' 'hell raiser' just a few.
Bouvre Posted October 26, 2017 Posted October 26, 2017 Honestly I don't see what is so good about the shining. Different tastes. I'm enamored by the constantly-warping architecture, and the backstory(/ies) that stokes the present tension/imagery. It's fragmented in a way that's always been really effective and interesting to me.

Bouvre Posted October 26, 2017 Posted October 26, 2017 I might try watching it again just for the heck of it. Everyone raves about it, I thought it was only mediocre. I'm also simply chilled by things that not everybody considers horror, or scary. Like, atmosphere is what makes certain movies terrifying to me. Like Wait Until Dark. But lots of people simply call that suspense, rather than horror.
Phillies Posted October 26, 2017 Author Posted October 26, 2017 Event Horizon is the opposite of scary. I didn't say it was a masterpiece, only that it had scary parts. The concept of the movie wasn't garbage either. So its a sci fi horror movie, lacking yes, but decent.
Danger_Jules Posted October 26, 2017 Posted October 26, 2017 I didn't say EH sucked. I just said it wasn't scary.
Bouvre Posted October 26, 2017 Posted October 26, 2017 Put this one under "movies that I rewatched thinking I'd be terrified as I used to be, but found myself giggling at so much of it." Still love it though.
Phillies Posted October 26, 2017 Author Posted October 26, 2017 I didn't say EH sucked. I just said it wasn't scary. I seen that movie in highschool stoned at like 1am it was fucking scary :420: :420: :420: :420: :420: :pumpkin: :pumpkin: :pumpkin: :pumpkin: :pumpkin:
Kudasai Posted October 26, 2017 Posted October 26, 2017 Put this one under "movies that I rewatched thinking I'd be terrified as I used to be, but found myself giggling at so much of it." Still love it though. That movie was tailor made to scare the shit out given my fear of spiders :::
Danger_Jules Posted October 26, 2017 Posted October 26, 2017 The only part of EH that even freaked me out a little was when the guys face melted towards the end.
Bouvre Posted October 26, 2017 Posted October 26, 2017 That movie was tailor made to scare the shit out given my fear of spiders ::: I'm terrified of spiders too, but the interwoven drama between the protagonist and the stubborn citizens of his new surroundings makes for some charming drama, along with the numerous funny lines throughout:
Sandstone Posted October 26, 2017 Posted October 26, 2017 Bouvre[/member] Based on that list, if you've not seen it, I'd highly recommend you watch Suspiria.
Sandstone Posted October 26, 2017 Posted October 26, 2017 Lol, I can't wait to publish my list on here... I need to hurry up and get it finished before the weekend. You guys are all posting shit that is rather timid for my tastes. In the words of Pinhead, I have such sights to show you....
Bouvre Posted October 26, 2017 Posted October 26, 2017 Bouvre[/member] Based on that list, if you've not seen it, I'd highly recommend you watch Suspiria. Seen it, love it.
Ric Posted October 26, 2017 Posted October 26, 2017 Bouvre[/member] Based on that list, if you've not seen it, I'd highly recommend you watch Suspiria. Great movie, and soundtrack.
Ric Posted October 26, 2017 Posted October 26, 2017 what proof do you have? Just look into their history, they were(I forgot Ed has been dead for 10 years) shysters. I wasn't attacking you btw just don't have a high opinion of them lol. Believe what ya want.

fuggnificent Posted October 27, 2017 Posted October 27, 2017 Trick or Treat Hard Candy Uzumaki Unfriendead Not for the faint of heart. i fucking love hard candy but it wasnt scary.
Ric Posted October 27, 2017 Posted October 27, 2017 Trick or Treat Hard Candy Uzumaki Unfriendead Not for the faint of heart. All of those are pretty tame. I might watch Trick r' Treat on Halloween.
Mewn Posted October 27, 2017 Posted October 27, 2017 idk, not really scared of any. But, I do love me some french horror movies. I feel like those are my fav.
DragonSinger Posted October 27, 2017 Posted October 27, 2017 Ernest Scared Stupid. All you need is some miak, and you'll be all right.
NaBarney Posted October 27, 2017 Posted October 27, 2017 The scaredest I've been in my entire life is watching as a young kid this Tales from the Crypt movie. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demon_Knight
DragonSinger Posted October 27, 2017 Posted October 27, 2017 Watching Carpenter's The Thing for the first time a few years ago was the only horror movie that freaked me out as an adult. Everything else is just meh as far as being scary.
J.M. Matthews Posted October 27, 2017 Posted October 27, 2017 Eh I dunno, gross things freak me out quite a bit, gross CAN be scary.
PhilosipherStoned Posted October 28, 2017 Posted October 28, 2017 It's usually only the gorry or sick shit that gets me like Cabin Fever, or the Human Centipede. Though somehow the Grudge spooked me for a bit when I was younger. I think it's just because I was a kid and every time the lights were off I expected insaley pale contorted Japanese people popping out at me or to hear those disturbing noises. Also my mom is a cat person and everytime I'd hear cats growling at night it would bring the scenes back into my memory.
Gyaos Posted October 29, 2017 Posted October 29, 2017 The last film to scare me wasn't even a horror film. It was a little film called The Matrix. The questions it brought up about reality and existence made me stay awake all night long. I would have been 10 at the time.
mthor Posted October 29, 2017 Posted October 29, 2017 the original "Night of the Living Dead." Not now, but the first time I saw it, it scared the absolute bejesus out of me. "The Grudge." Not a good movie to watch alone, when you live by yourself. "In the Dead of Night."I saw it when I was a kid, haven't been able to find it since, but the scene where a guy kills his ventriloquist dummy and then is taken over by its spirit gave me nightmares for weeks.
