When I was a kiddie I remeber a caymation film called "The Adventures Of Tom Sawyer"
There was a particularly trippy bit with a demon that made me shiver..

the ring actually frightened me quite a bit the first time i saw it

One time a film tried to kill me!!!!!

my brother forced me to watch The Fog when i was very small, it scared me now i'm not really scared by anything, used to nick my brothers 18 cert horrors and watch them with my friends

You know, I’m going to say The Blair Witch Project too. It’s got a really uneasy feel about it, and although you don’t “see” anything as such, if you watch it all in one go (without advert breaks) the tension really mounts, and the ending really sticks with you. After that I would say, and people still think I’m strange saying this one, Angel Heart. I think it’s the sense of impending doom. Call me odd, but there you are. Oh yes, I think Alien still holds it’s own.

I am easilly scared by Horror movies. Zombie movies especially (apart from the wonderful Shaun of the Dead).

Scariest Movies to me:

Carnival of Souls (The Original)
Nightmare on Elm Street (Just Freddy Kreuger in
general)
In The Mouth of Madness
Something Wicked This Way Comes
IT (clowns!!)

Least Scary Movies (That are supposed to be scary)

Blair Witch Project
The Exorcist
The Wicker Man
The Shining

Ooh! Ringu was damn scary too,took me ages to get the crawling out of the TV scene out of my head. I've never seen the American remake but I
can't imagine that it would have been as good.

Don't Look Now (what an ending)
The Evil Dead
Blair Witch Project
Audition (creepy)
The Exorcist - Director's cut
Ringu
Shutter
Feed
The Amityville Horror - original

and don't laugh..

Jaws

good call on Don't Look Now
i watched Blair Witch on an inflatable screen in a wood outside cinderford in the middle of the night and that really was scary
The Eye
Ringu
Ju-on
Amityville original (the jody the pig bit still freaks me a bit)
Nosfertu did my napper in completely when i saw it aged ten in a thunderstorm (no really) with my dad making mwah ha ha ha evil noises in the room, best spindly blood sucking fella EVER

oh and Danny Glick sitting up in the coffin when the grave digger turns round in Salems Lot oo-oo and the gravedigger getting off the mortuary slab with his glowy eyes, i'm totally watching Salems Lot tonight

Lots of people have said they used to be scared when they watched horror movies at about 5 years old.. I know I was when I was little but over the years they have desensitised me to it. But sometimes I do think new movies might not be as scary as they used to be.

Does anyone remember a film called 'The Changeling' starring George C. Scott from the 70's? Now that is a film that gots the hairs on neck standing upright and switching all the lights on in the house at night.
I remember first watching it at about ten yeara old and then later on in my early twenties with the same effect. I'll have to find out if if still has the same effect on me now in my early thirties...

I haven't seen any film that scares me, though I would love to watch one. What's Don't Look Now?

It is still a good film. Especially when it gets to the kid in the bath and the banging

Don't Look Now is a 70s film with Julie Cristie and Donald Sutherland and mainly set in Venice. It's not really a horror film, more of a mystery with an unsettling and creepy atmosphere. The ending, has a real shocker pops up that has no association with the rest of the film. That's the beauty about it, there's no way of guessing it.

'The Pit and the Pendulum' by Jan Svankmajer scared the hell out of me when I was about 15, most especially the pendulum bit. It's all in the editing, especially when you're sat on the front row of the cinema like I was. Mind you, it scared pretty much everybody else in the cinema too - when I looked away from the screen just about everyone I could see had their hands over their face. You need the big screen and the dark though - I can't see it having the same sort of effect on the TV in your living room.

His film of Alice in Wonderland is also wonderfully macabre and very disturbing-good for kids with sick minds!

"MADMAN" saw it when I was young, but seen it since on DVD with all the cuts and its not the same, the original Video version was excellent, DVD may be good quality but most are cut to hell.

2001 aso

Urban Legend really scared me and a friend when we went to see it at the cinema. We were checking the back seats and the boot etc when we came out and were seriously anxious, plus it was about 1 in the morning. But when we watched it again recently on DVD it was just so not scary in the slightest. Haha.

Scary movies eh? The sixth sense was quite bad. White Noise. The Ring. I suppose scary can be defined as to how believable it may be. How possible it can be. There's nothing more scary than that. I think the only defect is, when they produce a mickey take, ie Scary Movie series. Makes you see the original in a completely different way
