I don't like to watch gory movies but scary ones are great. I saw Rosemary's Baby when I was very pregnant and was scared to death I was going to have a demon baby. LOL I also loved Poltergeist, The Exorcist, and The Ring. Also, Misery was a great psychological thriller.

Other films: An American Haunting: a recent movie based on the Bell Witch legend in Tennessee. Another Donald Sutherland one, set in early Colonial times. I guess scary is relative, but it is spooky and well done! Remember Willard, the 1971 version? Killer rats are scary stuff. Then the lead rat came back in Ben, was cute and cuddly, Michael Jackson sang a song about him and I bawled my eyes out. Willard was a creepy movie though. Films I want to see: Wicker Man (the original, Scottish version) Silent Hill--looks spooky The Hills Have Eyes--70s Wes Craven version. The Brood--the old one. I think it involves creepy British kids? The new Willard with Crispin Glover--it's getting good reviews on Netflix.

Really gory films scare the crap out of me...so any of the Saw movies, Hostel, Hills Have Eyes, Children of the Corn... I can usual with stand scary movies and not turn my eyes...I jump, but I can usual watch them through... Plus I am a 90s kid and those some of the older movies that were supposed to be scary, like any Alfred Hitchcock...pretty much any 70s movie, not scary to me at all...grew up on gore, so I guess somebody getting stabbed and chocolate syrup is her blood just doesn't do it for me Willard, just read Nyheat's post...it's creepy, not scary...just really creepy...couldn't even watch the whole movie because he was so creepy

I also really enjoyed What Lies Beneath and the Gift. Both had scenes where I just could not look, too scared. I liked Prom Night back in the day, good slasher flick. I am pretty forgiving of the schlocky nature of most horror films, they are often cheesy and low budget but I sort of like that! Not a fan of little evil things, like Gremlins, Chucky, and that Lepreuchaun lol.

I was never (even as a child) prone to nightmares. But there was one movie that scared the cr@p out of me. The older sister of a childhood friend took us little kids to see House of Wax (1953). I could not sleep comfortably for a number of nights after. As an even smaller child, I was given 78 rpm records (breakable) with Basil Rathbone narrating the story of "Hansel and Gretel". (I may still have those records some place.) Even today, hearing the witch cackle in my mind gives me the "willies" big time. I don't know that I could listen to it all these years later.

As a child, Trog scared the bejeepers out of me and my sister. I just knew he was hiding under our bed. As a teenager, The Exorcist scared me really bad and still freaks me out to this day. As an adult, I just don't watch scary movies! LOL

Colordeagua, That makes me think of an old radio series that came on at midnight called the Shadow, I remember the opening line to this day: Only the Shadow knows where danger lurks in the dark (evil laughter) Used to scare the bejesus out of me and right after was a comedy show with Bill Cosby. I was about 11-12 and today I do not understand why I went to bed with my radio on! Must of liked to scare myself!

There was a movie that came out in 1978 (I would have been 12) called The World Beyond aka The Mud Monster. It was about this big monster made of mud. I remember it trying to get into this house where these people were staying and it's hand broke off in the door...but the hand was still alive and moving. Scared the crap outta me and haunted me for YEARS!!

The Nightmare on Elm Streets (ALL of them) scare the crap outta me. I have nightmares about that damned Freddy sometimes. The Scream movies, and the first Childsplay.... Halloween series, too. Those being named, I won't watch movies, such as the exorcist, that could happen for real. Don't like those!

Jaws scared me to death. We lived just 1/4 mile from the ocean and every time I tried to go to sleep after I saw Jaws, I was certain there was a shark swallowing up my bed with ME in it! After that, the only movie that scared me as much was Friday the 13th.......the original. I was on a first date and it was storming out with tons of thunder and lightning. I wasn't used to thunder & lightning since I'd just moved to MN from SF. We didn't get that kind of storms by the ocean. I don't really watch horror/scary movies. I like suspense/scary movies instead.

The Gate The Blair Witch (Only because we went camping the NEXT day and yeah, I was a little freaked out in the woods) Other than that, I DO NOT watch horror movies. I can't get the images out of my head, and I hate that. NOW, if DH wanted to watch a scary movie, I might just to have another excuse to snuggle up next to him.

One movie that I have to admit got to me a bit was a relatively unknown science fiction movie called "Event Horizon". It is a story about an experimental spaceship that was designed to travel great distances by bending space by crossing into another dimension. The ship vanishes on its maiden voyage only to reappear sometime later. A salvage ship is sent to investigate and the movie is about what they find. People either seemed to really like it or hate it. It received a mixed response perhaps because it didn't completely satisfy either the science fiction or horror crowd. IMO it is a very underrated movie.

Silence of the Lambs got in my brain and would not let go. The Exorcist - saw it at 16, well only the up till she peed on the floor then I sat thru the whole movie with my hands over my eyes. The sound scared me enough. Still won't watch it and I hate Tubular Bells. Jaws - Still don't like to swim in the ocean.

I have the Exorcism of Emily Rose sitting on my tv in the bedroom waiting for us to watch it. Never seen it before, sis brought it over last weekend when Darren asked her to bring Saw (he watched that alone.)

see now THERE is a movie that I know will freak me out. THat exorcism movie is based on a true story, I dislike the thought that evil spirits can inhabit a person but interestingly, this affliction is majorly increased in numbers. I saw a documentary on tv due to huge numbers of exorcisms done nowadays. ********** IN the Mouth of Madness....... http://imdb.com/title/tt0113409/ that was a good one. One of those movies where you arent quite sure what is real and what isnt.
