Event Horizon

maybe


^ this

second most scariest film ever. after the exorcist.

dont even try and say that isnt scary


"where we're going

you wont need eyes to seeeee!"


Defo.

I was actually going to post this, but it's one of the only films which has actually scared me.


the worst bit, for me,

is when they decypher the latin


I actually

cant watch any horror films as i have a very nervous disposition when it comes to them...true story.

Hi!


same


ah that's amazing

the ending completely fucks with you. one of the most brilliantly shot films i've seen


Oh in the same way

I actually really enjoyed Signs when it was out. Its unbelievably tense at points and the video of the wee mexican party is perfect.


Hehe I like that film

Me and my flatmate watched it the other day and we were shouting NO DON'T GO IN THERE at the screen and stuff. Yeah we're pretty cool...


hellraiser


blue velvet


hellraiser deffo

pinhead gave me nightmares.


...

Tristan are you still gonna make me watch that?


damn right i am

it's really really scary tho!


Can we sleep with the light on then?

just that once?


Beat me to it!

The majority is pretty scary but managagable, the end is just terror.


...

texas chainsaw massacre is the most scary i've seen. truly fucked up and disturbing.


yeah really

this is a good call i remember being pretty freaked out by this the first time i saw it


i saw it in the cinema

and we all cheered when certain annoying characters died.


Hi dukebox


hi thewarn


I just saw the trailer for that.

I'm in two minds. I loved the X files to begin with, but then it all got a little too silly. I think I'm glad it's back though. Non committal enough?


did you know billy connolly and xzibit outta pimp my ride are in it

im pretty excited, i think seasons 3-6 were high points, it did get a bit silly though, remember when mulder looked like this

im excited to see the dark knight


Mulder's looking pretty sharp there.

I liked David Duchovny best as the sleazy lowlife in Don't tell mom the babysitter's dead:

Never got better than

Eugene. Although I really, really liked the one with the bugs in the wood. I'm not sure why but it mesmerised me.

I once read an interview with David Duchovny where he said his favourite part of a woman is the bit where the upper thigh turns into the ass.

I've never been able to forget that. Now nor will you.


remember the one where scully ate a locust or something

scully was pretty hottt

have you seen david duchovny in californication, in one episode he says 'ive always found a tatoo on the back to be a watermark of the promiscuous, i see them and wonder whether the girl likes it in the pooper'

what a player, huh


Nosferatu

still gives me nightmares.


EXORCIST

don't care what anyone says


^ correct


YES


the second japanese grudge film

I found tres scary at various points


^this

It's borderline traumatic. I had bad dreams for a while after I first saw it.


The Orphanage

was the scariest film I've seen in the last 5 years or so.


watched that last night

I rated it highly, but it didn't scare me atol.


Hell yes.

I still keep seeing Tomas walking slowly towards me and purring like a broken kettle.


:'(


The actual watching of the film

doesn't scare me as much as the aftermath in my imagination


My girlfriend's like that

which means I have to be prepared to be woken up the night after watching a horror film due to nightmares :S


cute

do you cuddle her all night, or do you go back to sleep?


Usually give her a cuddle

and talk to her about dogs until she falls asleep thinking about happier things :D


BEEDOGS


<3


god, loads scare me

joey won't let me watch scary things before bed now cos i keep waving my arms about and screaming at things in my sleep..


Tomas!

Shlurp...


Alien

Vanishing (original)
Threads


don't look now!

the shining
the orphanage


The Ring


the japanese versions of

The Ring and the Grudge and the last 5 minutes of the Blair Witch Project fuck me up.

and the scene in Sixth Sense where the dead kid under the bed grabs his ankle.


some south korean movie that was on late one night on film4.

Proper scary stuff.I actually turned it off half way true.


Audition


eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

the dvd is in the freezer


Friday The 13th

Yes it's become one of the clichéd "80's Horror Films" but that last bit on the lake has made me afraid of flange.

Seriously, I can no longer listen to Cancer by Mansun without feeling slightly nervous.


The Shining

scared me crap-less when I was a little 'un

Not seen much since unless you count the much underrated and underwatched "Cabin Fever" ;-)


Definitely!

I've spent ages trying to convince my friends that it's the best end to a film ever. It's the cinematic equivalent of 'fuck you' but it has so much depth to it. Complete and utter horror.

Also Blair Witch Project, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, the sloth bit in Seven

oh and Mulholland Drive, for this scene

;(


Don't look now is sooooooooooooooo overrated.

It's just basically Donald Sutherland following little red riding locks around the world, who then turns out to be a monster at the last minute.

I vote:

The Blair Witch Project

The Evil Dead (the first one everyone! the first one, ie.... not the one that was funny!)


blair witch

is really underrated thanks to the backlash and parodying it's received.


^


it's not overrated at all

it's so beautiful at points an has one of the most famous love scenes ever. And it's terrifying and exotic and everything. And really clever in terms of foreshadowing and stuff like that.


Ohhh, alright then!

Friends?


Rosemary's Baby has some genuinely chilling moments.

The Ring and The Vanishing (the originals) are also creepy as fuck. For wildly different reasons.


The end of The Blair Witch Project

is probably the only thing on film that's genuinely scared me rather than just made me jump.


i hate films

that are all jumps. It just goes to show what an artless hack the director is; incapable of building any suspense or atmosphere into their film.


The Omen

That bit with the dogs = :'(


Its not a film but when i was younger

The old original episodes of the x files with the guy who could squeeze through the air vents and small places freaked the shit outta me!


the films everyone is describing here

are disturbing

the really scary movies are things like Legally Blonde and How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days (shudder) and all those awful awful hollywood RomComs that make me feel physically ill at the thought of all those office monkeys around the globe who are so intellectually barren and emotionally stunted that they have to get their visceral shocks from Take A Break true stories of Cab Drivers That Kill or somesuch

THAT'S fucking scary


My Super Sweet 16

is the pinnacle of scary.


Urgh

bad taste, my mouth, you, left a.


...

The Grudge
The last 15 minutes of Ring 0 are pretty fucked
The third Exorcist movie had some incredible moments too


the scariest thing ever on film is...

where that guy's getting seduced by a nurse, i think it's in a mental home, in Freddy 2, she's well up for it, just about to get her snatch out, gets on the guy, starts kissing him then their tongues attatch and the mattress dissapears and it's fire, A BIT PIT OF FIRE. If i'm ever in bed and straddles and kisses me i think of this and freak out.


The Shining

absolutely terrified me. I watched it on my own, late at night and I had to pause it at one point and go and get something to eat to take my state of mind back into the real world because I was too scared. Also the bit with the dead woman in the bath made me feel physically sick.

Don't look now, however, left me cold. It seemed to have aged badly.


me and the girl

watched the shining and the blair witch project in one night. i thought she was going to have a cardiac arrest at one point, and i had literally curled into a ball by the last scene of the blair witch


Agree with thewarn

Alien
(the vanishing, is really unsettling very powerful very depressing but im not sure about scary)
(evil dead 1 is gruelling and intense)
Psycho scared me when i was younger

Actually out of modern scaries 'the descent' is actually really rather good


The Descent!

So scary! It's the only film I can think of that's really scared me as a grown up.


The Shining still gets me

even after seeing it countless times.


^ Yes

'come play with us Danny'
Oooh I get shivers just thinking about it!


The Omen

Haunted me for years.

The Orphange, even though it's quite schlocky - gave me really bad dreams.
