Man, that movie...I remember back in the 80s, the english title was The Gates Of Hell, and the had a disclaimer about "no one under 17 will be admitted". It was one of those "unrated" ratings for graphic violence, and MAN was it graphic!!! I still don't watch that at night.

Friggin brilliant.

I don't watch many horror movies so I'll say Exorcist.

I know many folks thought the Ring was lame, but when the chick crawled out of the TV at the end, I was pretty damn horrified.

I hate to be so obvious but let's be real, people. Still delivers on many levels.

Incidentally, I met Miss Blair back in '07. Very warm, and very fit, I might add.

The original "Halloween".

And "Jaws" wasn't particularly scary, but for the next month after I saw it, every time I went waterskiing (I grew up on a bayou), I just KNEW a shark was going to cut me in half the second I entered the water.

To this day, Alien is the only movie that really frightened me. I first saw it when it aired on a midnight showing on a local station. I would have been about 12 at the time, and just about every moment of that movie from the face-hugger scene & onward absolutely scared the hell out of me.

I still think it holds up very well.

Not the scariest, but definitely in my Top 5 list.

THIS^ is the 1979 version, THE real version as fair as I'm concerned.

I really think you should check out 'The Descent', it has that same, claustrophobic air and is really tense - very much in the same way as Alien.

Don't bother with the sequel though, it's shite.

It's still The Exorcist for me, while the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre is a close second.

Oof...I have seen it, and I thought it was great, and very much in the same vein as Alien. I didn't see your post before I chimed in. If I had, I absolutely would have seconded what you'd said.

Jaws. After seeing that, I was so glad to be a swimming pool kind of girl.

Yeah, that scared the shit out of me when I was a kid.

The first halloween followed by The Blair Witch Project. Don't know why, but Blair Witch scared the hell out of me and my wife when I first saw it. Rented it a few years ago and thought it was just dumb as hell.

The REALITY of Roots makes Hollywood look like a walk in the park. -Mg

As a kid it was Carrie, Alien or Nightbreed. Since then, The Blair Witch and Saw freaked me a little, but Irreversible stands out as the most disturbing by a long way,

The first time I watched "The Exorcist" I was either ten or twelve and found it pretty scary back then.

the first few minutes of The Grudge scared the living daylights out of me, the grainy black and white bit before the actual movie starts, and my imagination ran away with me - any film could never be as scary as I imagined, I nearly didn't watch the rest
