Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer
This movie nauseated me and is solely responsible with my obsession with making sure all the doors and windows are locked when I go to bed. That one scene where Henry and Otis are watching the home video...my word. And that ending.

Suspiria
The music is scary as hell. I bought the limited edition DVD package and it came with the soundtrack. Needless to say, I've never listened to it. There are so many scenes in this movie that scare me: the opening sequence, the room full of barbed wire, the witches at the end, the seeing-eye dog murder. And the setting is so picturesque that it's almost shocking that it can be so unsettling.

The Brood
Why I'll never have kids.

Haute Tension
My friend gave me the Korean (or British, I forget which) DVD and it creeped me out for days. One of the best horror flicks made in years.

Session 9
I heartily recommend this for Halloween, but don't watch it alone, you'll piss yourself.

When A Stranger Calls
The first half hour and last half hour are petrifying!!!!!!!!!!

You're right some of the moments are scary, however, some of them are just downright ridiculous. The Stepfather? Blood Simple? The Terminator? These are not scary movies, well, unless you consider Arnold S. scary in a completely different way as I do.

Michael Meyers has to be the most frightening villian ever concocted. John Carpenter is a genius.

Have you see Ju-On yet? I was literally frightened for DAYS after seeing that movie!!

Just noticed this. This film scared the **** out of me...mainly because I was babysitting the first time I saw it! I think I would have died if the phone had rang while I was watching it

I think the Exorcist is one of the scariest movies ever made. You gotta see the version that they re-released a couple of years ago with the spider scene and random shots of the devils face. Talk about freaky!!

Also, I think the first Friday the 13th is kinda scary, along with the first 2 Halloween movies, Children of the Corn, Candyman and any of the Hellraiser and Omen movies. Too freaky for me.

I didnt however think The Ring was scary at all. It was a good movie but I wasnt scared.

Yeah, that one didn't bring the scary over here. I felt sorta let down.

I have no idea what's wrong with me. Scary movies? ALWAYS scared me. Now? Not so much. Although 'Signs' did freak the hell outta me. And 'The Ring' was just creepy (there's a difference between creepy, freaky, and scary to me).

I'm gonna go see The Grudge soon, and I suspect that'll fall under the "Creepy" category.

I forgot Children of the Corn! I used to watch that movie all the time /w a friend back in my HS days. That short guy Isaac who was like the leader-- what was up w/ *him*? He was one creepy fellow, even his weird voice scared me.

Deliverance was icky scary. LOL I just saw that movie recently because I'd always heard about it, and I watched it late at night. Ewwww....just ew. Redneck, inbred hillbillies are scary. LOL!!

The Ring was creepy and when the little girl climbed outta the TV, I was creeped out.

I prefer suspense tho, the kind of stuff where you are on the edge of your seat and BAM!! something comes outta nowhere!

I totally agree. He was like a shrunken little man or something. You couldn't really make out what he was!

The Ring was absolutely creepy. The ending was very unexpected.

As a child, I was terrified by The Birds and Psycho. Why my parents let me watch them, I will never know! I was afraid to shower with the shower curtain closed - LOL - and I also was afraid to sleep with the windows open in the summer!

I know that most people thought that The Blair Witch Project was stupid, but for some reason, the first time that I saw it, it scared me to the point that I kept having dreams at night that had the last sequence in it where the guy is standing in the corner of the room. For me, it was the fact that you couldn't see what was happening. That leaves way too much up to the imagination for me.

Deliverance nauseated me, it was incredibly gross. So, so icky.
