I am freaked out by movies about things that could possibly happen in real life. Exorcism of Emily Rose, and ghost and stuff like that. When I saw The Ring I didn't sleep good for about a week. When I say Emily Rose, I couldn't sleep well for about a month. I am sure Paranormal Activity would freak me out...the commercials did.

Salem's Lot scared the crap out of me when I was a kid. Plus the opening scene (and subsequent needle in the eye kill) of Dead and Buried freaked me out too. (NSFW link, actually just watch the whole movie if you like horror flicks. Dated, but still holds up kinda lol)

I don't think any scared me. I loved most of this list. My faves are Freddy, Michael Myers, and Hannibal. I don't think the Hannibal ones are scary, though. The Hills Have Eyes and the Last House on the Left aren't as scary to me as they are disturbing. I've never needed to see them again.

 I don't know why I'm desensitized to "scary" movies - my parents would never let me watch them until I hit high school. I had to beg and beg and beg for them just to let me watch The Lost Boys (even then, they had to watch it to approve it). Now, nothing I watch really scares me unless it's fairly realistic - serial killer movies will creep me out sometimes and I'm constantly on edge and alert. Sometimes my imagination goes crazy after watching the ID Channel.

Probably the last movie I watched that scared the crap out of me was The Exorcism of Emily Rose. Of course it didn't help that we started watching it around 1:00am and it got over just after 3:00...and anybody who's watched it knows how important that time is in the movie. We ended up watching Friends DVDs afterward until it was light outside.

As a horror nerd, I'm so jaded at this point that nothing really scares me.
I remember getting freaked out by Candyman, Black Christmas (the original), The Strangers, When a Stranger Calls (the original ... mainly when the dude was hiding in that chick's closet ... being a girl who lives alone, that's NO joke), and the original Halloween.  

I get more freaked out by the mood set by a movie, and by things that could potentially happen.  
3-headed aliens eating your intestines ... ehh, not likely to happen.  Crazy dude stalking girls with a butcher knife ... totally feasible.  


PS - finished your novella (?  Short story? Hard to tell on Kindle.).  
I liked the storytelling and the setting that you created.  I'd like to see what you'd bring to a full-length novel.

Nothing much scares me anymore.

Thanks, to both you and Keene for checking me out. I'm going to releasing more stories on Kindle. Mostly because I get 70% verses 40% or even less in some cases. That story was written about a year ago, and I think I accidentally put the unedited copy on there, and if so I apologize for that. I think I got that fixed now.

I'm going to write the novel, but I really enjoy the short story or novella. There is a comfort for me in the 10,000 to 25,000 word range. I do see the novel in my near future, and mostly because I see the stories growing larger as I try to tell them.

A Clockwork Orange really creeped me out and messed with my mind as a little kid. I don't know about scariest, but it played with my emotions more than just about any other movie, besides Schindler's List.
#15 | 733 days ago

Maybe the Exorcist and The Omen, the old one.
The Exorcist  
#16 | 733 days ago

I don't remember many dreams, but every time I have watched a horror flick I sleep terrible 
The Shining  
#17 | 733 days ago

I have thought about this question since I posted it. I'm shocked that "Other" is the highest vote, as many of these movies I listed are among some of the most intense movies in the genre.

I picked "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" as the most scary to me. Mostly because I was eleven years old, and living just outside of Houston. The thing said it based of true events, which it was, but Ed Gein in Plainfield, Wisconsin and not some sadistic family in Texas. I found out the truth many years later.

When you watch the Chainsaw Massacre (1973 version) you come away thinking you've seen a blood bath. When the truth is there was not close to the amount of gore that's in the remake. That hitchhiker they pick up is one of the craziest characters I've ever seen, and very believable. So is the father/older brother 'The Cook'  - He's very believable, and truly creepy. Sally Hardesty took levels of torture that boarder on what a human can withstand.


The original version of 'Last House on the left is the same way. That movie is pure torture. To this day the levels of torture in that movie are about as far as Hollywood directors take it. Jack Ketchum writes horror novels that are torture stories like that, and it's part of the genre that I will admit to liking. I do like the 'Dark Fiction' novelists. The Last House on the Left, both versions, are as far as Hollywood has taken it.


[Note] Other cannot be the scariest movie you've ever watched.

#18 | 732 days ago

When I moved away from home for good I was all of 17.  I had my own apartment over a Chinese food restaurant and lived across the street from a XXX Movie Theatre.  Seeing some of the dudes who went in there scared me more than any movie I ever went to.  However, after a couple of years I moved to a different area of town and had a great apartment with two floors.  I absolutely LOVED the place.  It got broken into the night a friend and I went to one of the old movie theatres that showed cheap old movies.  We saw "The Car" and all the way walking home I had the feeling we were being followed.  My friend convinced me to stop into the local pub instead of going straight home.  An hour later I discovered that my place had been broken into and almost everything I owned had been stolen.  My TV, radio, jewellery (I had some from my grandma) money I'd hidden in the closet, and even some clothes.  For WEEKS afterward I was convinced "The Car" was following me..............

Have yuou checked the children? Wow J- were you born when the original with Carol Kane came out? That is one of all time favorite horror flicks and I do like the Scream flicks but there ore comical than horror to me
Last House on the Left  
#27 | 732 days ago

I was taken to see  Last House on the Left as a kid and I never forgave my oldest sister for that, what really bothered me was to find out this was a true story!!! Didnt more or less scare me but like Ashlie said it disturbed me and the critics with the original movie I believe was borderline rated X. Not all rated X movies are pornographic!
Last House on the Left  
#28 | 723 days ago

being a devoted horror fan the only movie to scare when it first came out was darkness falls

None of the other movies made me "feel" as uneasy as this one.  All the horror flicks i have seen
have either had my heart racing or on edge and even made me jump at some point...i have only been
able to get half way through this one.

The Exorcist by far. Seeing it now I kinda laugh at the amatuerish special effects. My sitter letting me watch it at age 10, now that was a different story, slept with the light on for a week. lol

Exorcist still makes my hair stand on end to this day............something very " other worldly" about this movie
