What is the scariest movie of all time?

[notright]

The older I get the more jaded I become so it's hard to say what the scariest is but, when I was about 5 the flying monkeys from wizard of oz. when I was 8 I talked my Dad into taking me to see Jaws. I stayed up all night because I could see the head that poped out of the boat in my closet. Then when I was 11 or 12 I snuck in to see Halloween, man was it hard to act like I only watched a documentary on the Bermuda triangle when my Mom picked me up.

I love SE7EN too...

Silence of the Lambs...

The Ring (I like the American version)...good creepy movie, not gory...

I love "Silence of the Lambs" too

Did anybody bring up "Children of the corn" yet?

 

[Shadowside]

Event Horizon. That one is really strange. I love it!

"The Abandon" is also very creepy.

Event Horizon was pretty scary. If you liked that you'd probably the new movie Pandorum too. Pretty good IMO. The Exorcist is one of my favorite horror movies. The Exorcism of Emily Rose is also pretty good.
I also liked The Prince of Darkness. I think it came out in the early 90's.

blair witch ending was very scary but excorcist at 11 years old tops it all---

 

[Kainedogg]

Ok....I have never seen the exorcist all the way through, so it wins for me hands down.

As for scariest game, Fatal Frame II. I think I will start a thread for scariest game...ever!!

 

[Mr Bogus]

what did happen 2 her?

Dunno, never saw the end... thing disturbed me so bad as kid I could not watch it to the end... something about the "rat under glass" thing I suppose

 

[GSXTacy]

Phantasm...........this movie scared the hell out of me as a kid!!! Had to be cool though, made the girl get REAL close!!

See down VVVVVVV there!

 

[GSXTacy]

Try again!

 

[fillmore nyc]

Exorcist
What ever happened to Baby Jane (Joan Crawford)
The Thing that wouldnt die
Amityville horror
The Shining (Love Jack)

Agreed 100%, in that exact order.

One movie that DOESNT make the list of scariest movies (in spite of what the ad might lead one to believe) is "Paranormal Activity". My wife dragged me to that POS over the weekend. Not worth the price of admission... literally.

 

[ResidentEvil]

Phantasm was awesome

 

[Schism]

one of my favorites is an eerie flick called "AUDITION" made in japan. similar style like the "ring" and "grudge". if you don't mind the subtitles it is worth the view.

 

[Davidsl7]

The Sentinel was really scary. Also try The Heart of Darkness. Boo!

 

[proud dad]

Revenge of the Nerds

 

[denon970]

Event Horizon...I had to shut it off, never made it through the 1st hour.

something about dead wife / evil space ghosts...

The Shining, The Ring, Blair Witch Project are also really good (I can make it through those).

 

[war69]

Signs was a good one with mel gibson. The Grudge was also preaty good.

 

[ks-waterbug]

Yep already mentioned...

The Exorcist
Evil Dead
Alien
Salems lot
******
The Howling
American wear wolf in London (Funny now, but wasn't then..)
Jason - Friday 13th
Halloween
The Ring

Arachnophobia with Jeff Daniels?? 1990?

I found it on IMDB!! Tarantulas: The Deadly Cago

Tarantulas: The Deadly Cargo (1977) (TV)

It was a made for tv movie in 1977 (which is the year I was born). I don't have a ton or memories except my parents saying that I could not watch it, watching it anyway (as a re-run aired a few years are initial release of course) and having HORRID SCREAMING NIGHTMARES. It was your typical seventies movie, but swarms of tarantulas would attack people and kill them. These were not your typical spiders either, they were smart and had tactical skills.

I am still TERRIFIED of spiders.
