Scary Movie ?

I guess I'm just one of those guys that doesn't get all "up" for scary movies. I think it's mostly because I find most of them so predictable that I just can't get scared. "Oooh, look - recently devirginized blondie is taking a walk through the forest at midnight. Oooh, look, she's walking in the general direction of a metal stake that's on the ground, and she doesn't see it! Oooh, look, uber-bad guy is picking up that metal stake... I wonder what's going to happen next..." :no:

See, that's why I went for "The Hitcher". It really is its own genre. I still hate to even think about that movie.

Gory movies do nothing for me.
 
You should check out "The Experiment". It's a German film but it's pretty creepy. Not necessarily a scary movie, but it's based upon real events so it makes it creepy and wary of trapped humans.
 
This is gonna sound crazy. But the most scared I have ever been is that scene in I am Legend when Sam runs into the zombie building. I could barely watch it. Maybe it was just the way that movie had you so invested in the characters.

That scene was very well done and really got my hopes up. Unfortunately it was all down hill from there.
 
Scariest for me would have been IT. Saw it when I was about 12 or so and it stuck with me.

Anyone have an lesser known horrors that are actually scary? My friends and I have been through all the standard popular "scary" movies so we are always looking for some unknown movie we will actually find scary.

One recently that surprised us by actually being pretty scary is a movie called "Darkness" with Anna Paquinn. Kind of slow moving at first but if you buy into the premise its actually pretty creepy.
 
The Omen
Rosemary's Baby
Repulsion
Original Friday the 13th
Pet Semetary

Okay, so they are now in the second phase of Friday the 13th series, or it has run full circle or something, I am not quite sure. Because it did well you know they are going to make a sequel errrrrrrrr part 16. What are they going to call it? Friday the 13th round 2 part 2? Part 2 was the 3D one they did in the early 80s, so they can't call the next one part 2. I wish Hollywood was out of money.

The 1st Nightmare on Elm Street was a pretty good horror movie. The sequels, not so much. I'm surprised they haven't made a remake of that movie since they've remade pretty much everything else.

The only remake that I've thought was decent was Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

The Last House on the Left has a scene in it involving a guy and his tooth, a chisel and hammer that still makes me shudder. The remake should be out fairly soon.

I Spit on your Grave is a classic.

Dude, the bathtub suicide scene in "The Dead Zone" still makes me shudder. I no longer look at scissors the same way...:eek:

They are going to. Robert Englund got passed up for the role though. Which I expected, but he was upset. I really think they should just leave the series alone.
 
I Spit on your Grave might be the worst movie ever made. Usually I can laugh throughout a good old "horror" flick, but that movie was just horrible. So I only watched it twice.
 
Darkness kind of got to me too. I thought it was a horrible movie at first, but I still sometimes catch myself looking up at the ceiling after I've turned the lights out.

Classic older ones are always great, but often don't scare me.

Last House on the Left is a GREAT movie, with a unique twist for the genre. I'm curious to see how the remake is going to turn out. I have a hard time believing that Monica Potter is capable of having a child in her teens, though.
 
scariest thing i've seen in a while

The Sum of All Fears. The movie isn't great, but when that nuclear bomb went off, wow, that sent shivers.

Yeah but the scenes right after it when Ben Affleck is driving car, talking on a cell phone took me right out of the movie, because those two things would not happen (two words, Electromagnetic Pulse)

For me:
The Exorcist
The Shining
The original Halloween
