Scariest Films ever watched

going back to my "growing up days", watching films with my mates or a bird, in no particular order, films that scared the bejesus out of me:-

nightmare on elm street
the omen
poltergeist
the shining

with a special mention to Salems Lot on TV (the boy floating outsdie his mates window! )

nowadays, the most recent would be the ring. purely for a great bit of timing from a phone call i had!!

For me it was the final scene of Friday the 13th, all sorting out coats etc for a quick getaway and WTF. Where he come from.

It sort of started that whole final bit thing like in Carrie etc.

I can honestly say that I've not been scared as such by a film, even as a kid (apart from by Dr Who - but then everyone has to be behind a cushion at some point in their lives ).

Actually getting my heart racing - that honour has to go to Prison Break on TV. I jsut got really invested in the characters - even the horrible one - and there were jsut some tremendousely tense moments in that series.

Making me jump - Snakes on a (MF) Plane. You know what was going to happen - you could see it coming a mile off - but it still made me jump, quite a few times too.

I'm the same as K, never really scared, just known to jump a little. Films never used to phase me at all, but recently more so (I'm starting to get old ). Most 'horror' films might as well be comedies.

Only really The Ring and The Descent have made me jump anything worth remembering.

When I was younger the film that scared me the most was The Fog I've seen it since and it's not scarey at all but I remember feeling scared out of my skin the first time I saw it!!

Scariest: A Tale Of Two Sisters (Korean horror film).

Most Gruesome: Wolf Creek (Australian backpacker horror film).

Both made me squirm in very different ways, and I'm not easily scared or squeamish!!

Scarest for me was 'The thing', watched it in a mates caravan, along with a few other friends, and a crate or two of beer, I don't do well with scary movies at the best of times, but during the film, somewhere near the end, off I go to the loo, where one of the ceiling strips landed on me just as I locked the door,




















Sh*t.......

Films? The Eye (Hong Kong/Thailand film) was quite scary.

But the scariest stuff I've seen was on TV when I was young.

BBC's Halloween special Ghos****ch cos I didn't realise it wasn't a real documentry.
Stephen King's It cos I hate clowns.
X-Files episode with the green luminous bugs made me sleep with the light on first time ever in my life.
