Okay...I've tried looking at "Scariest Movies" lists to think of what scared me so much. I think it was just the description of what happens at the end of "Blair Witch" that scared me for days. Then I saw it a couple months later and was disappointed. Oh well!

Kimmo, I avoid any of the slasher movies. To me, it is not scary to see how many different ways to kill someone. I just think it's gross. I like a good scare where you know something's coming and the anticipation is thrilling. I'm the type where I sit on the couch with the pillow clasped to my chest, just waiting to raise it up to my face.

I am going by my initial reaction when I first saw the scenes: -The shark jumping out of the water unexpectedly in Jaws -The shower scene in the original Psycho -The zombie chomping a bite out of his mother's shoulder in Dawn of the Dead (wasn't expecting it) I know there are others that I will think of later. I don't watch "slasher" movies, so I'm thinking of other stuff. I ended up at Dawn of the Dead not knowing what I was in for at the time. (Scared me silly!)

OK... I am SO into horror! I don't even know where to start. Gosh... scariest thing??? Well... The thing that actually scared me the most was some movie about a grizzly bear. I think it may have been CALLED Grizzly. It was a double drive in feature -- I was all of about 7 and was supposed to be asleep after the first movie, but I woke up during an attack scene. Never quite got over that. As far as scariest recent -- I'll go with The Haunting. A little on the predictable side, but it had me on the shock/surprise factor. I remember screaming a lot! As far as recent gore -- I'd have to say... 13 Ghosts. Saw it once, have no desire to see it again. Really freaked me out! Classics -- Hellraiser, Nightmare on Elm Street, Dawn of the Living Dead, Exorcist, Prophecy (not THE Prophecy, just Prophecy), and Don't Answer the Phone!

Ok, when I think of "creepiest" I don't think of horror movies, but of scenes in movies where people were killed. Two come to mind that just make me shiver. NOT FOR THE SENSITIVE! American History X - when Ed Norton puts a guys jaw on the sidewalk curb then stomps on his head killing him. One False Move - where the killers tape plastic bags over the victims head and put a pillow case over one victim and then stab her to death. I really wish I could forget about these scenes. During American History X, one guy got up and left his wife there. He never returned -- I guess he just waited outside for her!

The movie When A Stranger Calls Back, there is this scene where the killer paints himself to match with the wall and suddenly he opens his eyes, it was scary!

I remember that scene Mamie! Definitly creepy as h*ll. I remember seeing the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre when I was about 7 late one night with my brother after my parents went to bed. The movie completly wigged me out, I probably slept for 20 minutes that night. Till this day whenever I hear a lawn mower or anything similar start, I think about that movie.

Brenda, if I had seen either of the movies you mentioned, I would probably count those as creepy, too! I can't stand watching anything that's graphic. There was a movie out a few years ago, "Mute Witness" where people were making a movie, but at the end of the day, the makeup artist was locked in the building and she stumbled on two coworkers making a snuff film (or was it?) Then the mute witness is freaking out and being chased around this deserted building by the men, who are trying to convince her that it wasn't a snuff film-- Or are they just trying to kill her? Of course one of the creepiest things I can even think about is the idea of a snuff film. The idea of being trapped in a deserted building and chased by two men who may have just finished making a snuff film-- Okay, even creepier. I don't even know if I finished watching that one. So I don't know if was "real" or not! (The movie also went outside the building, she went home at some point and tried to get help from the police, I'm just not remembering it very well.)

Mamie, thanks for your description of "When a Stranger Calls Back." That will definitely be a movie I now avoid seeing! It's not on a "Blair Witch" level, but your description will creep me out for the next day or so.

Sorry Kimmo! If you had seen it, you would be freaked! I remember after going and seeing The Exorcist when it came out, I couldn't sleep for the longest time. It doesn't bother me now to see it but back then, yikes!
