nightmare on elm street but it was when i was a child,now the scary movies doesnt exist
I never watched too many scary movies but one that I remember was "The Grudge"...
:P
To this date, I can still remember The Ring (Japanese version). It was the first Asian horror movie I had seen and that ending......well, it gave me the creeps for a few days.
I don't know how old I was when I watched Texas Chain Saw Massacre at 0:00 am. alone :)
In my childhood It was really scaring
I loved the book(recommend it but it's a biggie over 1200 pages) but can't really remember anything of the movie except the clown with shark's teeth.Quote:

N.O.T.L.D. was grim, depressing and totally lacking in artifice...and in the end everyone dies.
Alien not only featured the classic "chestburst" scene but very cannily keeps the actual alien unseen for the rest of the film so you really have no idea what to expect.
Plus, there is the art of H.R. Giger and Siguerney Weaver in panties...what more can you ask for?
Ridley Scott (the director) apparently didn't tell the actors what was going to happen in the "chestburst" scene so that their reactions would be more believable.Their looks of shock and disgust are genuine.Quote:

They would hold midnight shows for the staff before the movies opened and it was always a great time...lots of alcohol and other stimulants- your basic drunken, stoned party in a big theater.
Alien scared the fuck out of the 50 or so people that were there...we stumbled out into the early morning in shock.
Ah, good times.
Edit: why is the board editing out her name?
Washington back in the day must have been a very interesting place to live indeed.Quote:

I think that might be the scariest thing of all.
Plus of course at the very end of "Carrie" when...... well you know.
Best jump out of your seat moment if not really the scariest.
In making my nomination the criteria is that the movie not only had to make the audience "jump", but also affected them afterwards.
My choice is IMO a masterpiece of cinematography because it had the lamest special effects and still had people jumping out of their seats and covering their eyes. Seeing this film really did make people nervous about "going in the water".
I nominate "JAWS"
If it were released today I doubt it would have a fraction of the impact but in it's day it truly was the definition of scary.
I was 6 when I first watched IT and it scared the shit out of me.Quote:

Pyscho, good movie.
Alien, yes, one of my favourite movies.
Rec, haven't seen it but should be good
Encounters of the third kind..
the eye
The Exorcist: couldn't sleep for 2 nights after seeing this thing.
I was weaned on horror flicks, and I remember attending Night of the Living Dead in hopeful anticipation of something that would make me jump out of my seat; no such thing happened, alas, and I remember thinking (with a bit of youthful pride) that I was probably the only person in the theater who hadn't made an ass of himself at some point during the film.Quote:

Dead End
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0308152/
It scared the shit out of me :D
The Blair Witch Project is great watch it and enjoy
Henry the portrait of serial killer(not a pure horror genre but a very disturbing Psychopath story)
Salo or 120 Days of Sodom(another disturbing film this is an italian old classic with all possible exploitation in it)
The Thing(one of the best Sci-Fi horror i ever seen)
Mouth of Madness(an underrated surrealistic classic from Director of The Thing)
The Shining
u r right zoom2zoom
i dont know how i missed it
one of the best atmospheric horror of last 30 years- The Shining
Saw the Exorcist when I was 10 at the drive in, the other half was Jaws. Needless to say I didn't swim that summer and avoided priests like the plague. Absolutely nothing at all since then has been scary, gory yes, scary no.
Saw
the ring 1
