I hate scary movies--I rarely watch them...I'm such a wimp. (I think it's b/c my parents wouldn't let my brother and me watch them as kids.) But I have seen a few and one that still scares me is Candyman. I saw it in HS and was scared, then it was on TV when I lived in Chicago (where the film is set) and even though I was in my mid twenties, it was still too scary for me to watch in the middle of the afternoon!

BTW, I also got nightmares from reading Bram Stoker's Dracula (again in my mid 20s.)

I'm sorry, but Candyman? c'mon now....Tony Todd with a hook When I was about 6, my mom woudln't let me watch The Shining because she said it had too much blood in it I was like you let me watch movies about a machete welding man in a hockey mask terrorizing campers, but The Shining's off limits?

co-sign... that's absolutely sickening. If it's true, the filmmakers ought to be in jail.

I said I was a wimp...

AnckSuNamun said:

Now "The Shining" is a great horror classic .

Wolf Creek was good...

Funny Games is just tense and disturbing, with next to no violence...it's almost all psychological.

It's a chinese movie, they don't give a shit about human rights, let alone animals.

It makes me sick to think anyone would support something like that by paying money to watch it.

GaryTheNoTrashCougar said:

How the hell is trash like this on amazon.com????

CarrieMpls said:

I agree, but it's no different to people investing in Lockhead Martin and BAE Systems.

And alot of b-rated horror movies..

Prince's doo rag scares me. I fear that it will escape and try to drown me in Jeri Curl juice.

Session 9 as well...just a creepy aura around the entire movie...

I was SO waiting for someone to say that.

There are a few I'd mention, but since I saw this one only last night, it is the most vivid in my mind. Freaked me out senseless.... I loved it!

For me it's the Exorcist 1 & 3.

In the 70's there was a movie, I believe made for T.V., called LET'S SCARE JESICCA TO DEATH. I held on to that movie for a really long time. There's a part where a woman is walking out of a lake in a white gown. I was sooo scared of that image for years. I finally found the movie on VHS. The movie was still creepy and that scene still scared me.

The original NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD.

The Entity


This film, though without a speck of gore, works so well because it examines every woman's deepest fear (being raped) and one of every human being's deepest fears: not being believed.

Barbara Hershey plays Carla Moran in this 1981 chiller, a single mom desperately trying to better her and her children's lives. Suddenly, she is the victim of mysterious, violent attacks by an unseen force, most of which happen in her bedroom. When the physical attacks go beyond to include sexual violation, the horror moves to an even more sickening level.

~And, I think this is a true story

The Car...


It's probably why I don't care for the sound of a souped-up/reved-up engine. Or, horns

Sheeeeit, one good dose of the Exorcist was ALL I needed to see: I saw that mess when I was 19 years old, in college, and Lord H'ammercy if my damn roomate wasn't OUT that night...that shit wrecked me for like, THREE STRAIGHT DAYS after I saw it, and I realized right then that I NEVAH wanted to repeat that experience AGAAAAINNNN !
