Scariest movie you ever saw?

[betheny]

I'm watching Signs again. There's something about the aliens in the heartland, wandering the cornfields, no matter how many times I see it it skeevs the bejeezus out of me!

I have the director's cut for The Exocist" which includes the scene where she crawls down the steps backwards, upside down, throwing up blood. Yeah, way before the grudge or anything. Linda Blair at 14 did one helluva job.

I'm still scared of Freddy Krueger!!

The 'sixth sense' is the scariest I've seen lately. Just thinking that dead people are around me spooks me.....

The original Nightmare on Elm Street is quite scary.

I was watching it too! LOL

I agree with the Exorcist and and the original Freddie. When I watched them, I was much younger so tended to freak somewhat easily.

Recently, I'd have to say Saw freaked me out. I was also watching it at 3am with no lights on. Jigsaw is one weird fellow. Watched Saw II and liked it. Looking forward to Saw III and will have to buy the set.

Never saw the director's cut of The Exorcist but the original had me scared enough to start looking around my place for crosses...and I'm not religious.

The Texas Chainsaw Massacres still works and it scared me so bad, high on some KGB, when I first saw it at a drive-in that I suggested to the eleven year old neighbor kid I'd taken to see it (while starting my cars engine) that we not see it through. We watched Tommy but I remained rattled through the night. Horror movies that could actually happen in real life always have the potential to scare me more than those which rely on the supernatural.

P.S. I didn't toke up anywhere near the neighbor kid and wouldn't have let him but he probably knew I was high as his brother was a wanna-be gangsta who hung with a bunch of rowdy slacker buddies.

The Exorcism of Emily Rose was scary.

I agree. Then again, this is someone who couldn't go to the bathroom alone after watching Unsolved Mysteries. I am terrified of someone doing something to me in my sleep. (It happened when I was younger and still messes with me.) I think that's why SAW screws me up so bad. The people wake up in these situations and don't know how they got there.

I will have to watch the Exorcism of Emily Rose.

Hostel was good. Could have done without the first half of it being borderline porn, but I guess it really did contribute to the heebie-jeebie factor of the whole thing.
NOT for the weak of stomach though. If you can watch that with your eyes open the whole time you're ready for any kinda gore horror movies can throw at ya.

i'm a horror fan, but too many are cheesey and not scary.. Hostel was the goriest by far.. Saw was possibly the most intense and a good one.. The Boogey Man has the most shock value, esp. in the theater where it was LOUD... i jumped a foot off my cushion a dozen times it seemed..

i guess my vote will be the original Friday the 13th...
