nothing like a thread becoming

excellent reference material

When I was young, movies like Friday The 13th 3D, The Burning and The Warning scared me silly. Now they amuse me silly.

I once turned on the TV just as a movie by Quentin Tarantino was at a scene where some gangsters tortured a man tied to a chair. That was so sick I had to turn it off.

The last movie to actually disturb me on some deep level was Event Horizon.
I didn't find it particularly good, but it still haunted me.

Yeah, but I only saw the last half of it, but it was pretty gory and freaky. Just had TERRIBLE acting and dialogue though.

I can't ever watch that scene, EVER, and I normally love anything gory and scary. That's too real though.

The goriest movie I´ve seen by far (and trust me, I´ve seen a lot of movies) is Deathbound. It´s a spanish movie and I saw it at Stockholm Film Festival maybe five or six years ago. When it was finished only about ten people were left in the audience. The rest had walked out long ago.

It has no dialogue whatsoever and the entire "action" takes place in a sterile hospital room without any windows. It starts out with what seems like a normal autopsy (shown in detail). But after a while you realize that the doctor isn´t exactly sane. He starts to change places of different organs, sewing the brain into somebody´s stomach etc. Eventually he opens up a drowned young girl and rapes the body so that the blood splashes everywhere. And so on and so forth.

I felt completely fucked up for weeks afterwards.

OOOHHH!!! GOTTA C DAT!!!

I wish i saw Cannibal Holocoust" but some1 had it at the video store, so i rented "Cannibal Feroux" which i think is the same thing as "Let The Sleeping Corpses Lie" not sure.

In this one, white people disturbed the tribe people, and they got torn up. Eating the intestines, cutting the penis, hooks in the bressisis.

"Demons" was good by Argento.

"I Spit On Ur Grave" was nice and nasty with torturing screaming rape, and nice killings.

the gorey ones aren't scary though. it's the ones that get into your mind and fuck it up that scare me.

you guys are always saying that

True. The gore is disgusting and sickening. But the psychological mindfucking is what is scary - something Hitchcock understood and that is why I think he is still the master of the horror genre.
Hint at something and let the viewer's imagination do the rest. That's much more effective.
Movies like Alien (discounting the hatching scene) and Event Horizon prove that it still is possible to scare your audience without gore spraying into its lap.

Reanimator was pretty nasty to me. But i am sure there are much worse ones out there.

Re-animator is fucking cool!!

I love the re-animated stinky cat and when the dismembered head nearly goes down on that woman.

Sounds like snuff to me. Betcha they killed someone to make that. I once saw an Italian splatter (by mistake, I thought it was horror - I never see splatter movies, youck!), and I believe to this day that it was snuff. Them southern european, catholic guildridden countries spawn some terrible people.

And it sounds to me that whomever made that movie you're talking about belongs in a mental hospital. Heck, I thought whomever (David Fincher among others) made Seven oughta be in a mental institution. Whomever that has nothing better to do with their time than to think up inhuman cruelty and barbarism really should just, well... die.
They are numbing people with their crap and are adding to the problems of violence and murder in this world. They can call it "art" and "just showing it like it is" all they want - they aren't helping.

Did u c "The Sectret Life Of Dahmer" (not the new one, the 1996 or 97 one).
That one is scary because it is real, and it showed Everything!

DEAD ALIVE was my 1st choice, with that lawnmower etc. GROSS! Also very close 2 it was THE REANIMATOR, & of course CHAINSAW MASSACRE.

EvilWhiteMale said:

that got played out and commercialized that it wasnt even that scary anymore when i saw the Re Release in theater. But i admit, it still has a lasting affect after all these years, and i would still watch it 2 the day die 4 sum reason (like A Nightmare On Elm St.)

does anyone remember "the attack of the killer tomatoes" i have no idea why i saw this movie but i seem to remember being very young.

paisleypark4 said:

No. I don't like movies - neither personally nor ideologically - about humans being inhuman to other beings, so - ever since 7 - I avoid movies about serial killers and the like. I don't find them scary, just sick and disgusting.

What I DO like is movies about the boogey man. The boogey man is a metaphysical creature from your ID.
Jason Vorheeves, Freddy Krüger, Candy Man, aliens, killer robots, demons (and demonic possesions like in The Exorcist), Michael in the Hallowween movies, The Blair Witch, Pinhead, Hellraiser, etc. - those are all representative of the boogey man.
The boogey man - if done well - scares me.

ok

Children shouldnt play with dead things
House that Dripped blood
Vampire circus
Black Christmas
Blood sucking freaks (funny but nasty)
Lair of the white worm

Has anyone seen that film, "Itchi the Killer" - it's japanese and pretty rank, like some guys head gets cut in half and you get a good close up of the bits of chopped through bones and stuff.

"Watership Down"

I had nightmares for years afterwards!
