when i was a kid, Nightmare on Elm street was the scariest. as an adult I prefer eerie tales of ghosts and spirits like What Lies Beneath or The Changeling. I hate blood and gore, its all been done before. I'm more scared of the unseen entity than the axe-murderer.
My god how the hell could I forget the shining!! No matter how many times I watch it, it still spooks me. It's the tense music that does it and those twin in the hallway...Can't believe I forgot about it!

*The Exorcist - :O so horrible!! *The Ring - that scared me loads when i watched it! i'm still having repurcussions from it actually... *The Grudge - only made it half way through that film. *cringes* *Long Time Dead - my friend said it wasn't scary so i watched it....right after i'd just done a Ouija Board with some friends. then it was scary...

well it ent i spose but when your convinced that sum chinese woman iz gunna come and kill you under your sheets and when your celing is black and you sleep in the corner remembering the black corner bit it iz just a tad creepy when ya trying to get to sleep
Originally posted by arwen28: I haven't really seen any of the movies listed, except The Exorcist and I didn't really find it scary, a bit gross maybe. I think what made me jump most as a child anyway was Nightmare on Elm Street and the five minutes of Aliens that I saw that gave me nightmares for a year.
Oh, and just as Moonstone said, I can't handle Arachnophobia either as I don't like spiders in real life (don't mind snakes though...)
the alien movies are disgusting! the thing that got me the most about them was the thought that if this planet can produce such hideous creatures like dinosaurs think what other planets can produce. bleh! i prefer the star trek view of space travel definetly!
anyway, the scariest movie i ever saw was Cube. partly because of the first 5 minutes were normally you are just getting yourself comfortable, but in Cube, that happens. very claustrophobic movie
The Ring scared me to death and I thought about it on and off for days. Of course it didn't help that the day after I watched it, the tv came on by it's own self causing me to nearly wet myself. It turned out that my fat cat was lying on the remote...
Long Time Dead - my friend said it wasn't scary so i watched it....right after i'd just done a Ouija Board with some friends. then it was scary...
although i cant say i was that scared by it, it was creepy in places, again playing on the fear of the unknown (my mum was properly freaked by it though, bless her!)- i think i might have to watch it again now!

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974). Remake is crap and number 2 with Dennis Hopper is a comedy! Sheer terror as it actually happened. Ed Gein is quite scary, scary in the sense it leaves your mind alert, whereas the others don't bother me. Cannibal Ferrox and Cannibal Holocaust are shocking.
