What's The Scariest Movie You've Ever Seen??

The original Alien. In a real big screen movie theater (not a mega-plex) and not knowing a thing about the story. Suspense rules over gore.

Answer 3

The original version of "When a Stranger Calls" with Carol Kane as the babysitter and Charles Durning as the detective. The night I saw that movie, my two housemates, J & B, had gone away for the weekend, and after seeing the movie on a date, I went home alone. I had to go through B's bedroom to get to the bathroom, and I couldn't remember if she'd left her closet door open, or closed... She usually left it open, and it was closed when I got up to go to the bathroom... I was certain there was a crazed psychopath hiding in there! I saw the movie in 1979 or 1980, and I still get chills thinking about it. There wasn't any actual violence on the screen, but there was most definitely plenty of suspense. I think I'll give the remake a miss.

p.s. I survived somehow.

"The H Man" -- an old 1950s science fiction film I saw as a kid. In this movie, atomic radiation causes six Japanese fishermen to turn into a green gooey monster that dissolves people (sort of like The Blob, only scarier.) Watching it today it seems pretty hokey, but as a kid it gave me nightmares for weeks. Especially a scene of it crawling up a lady's legs and and as she screams, she dissolves. Other scenes got to me, too. I was terrified of going down into the cellar for fear that green goo would be crawling along the rafters and drop down on me. So I guess scariness depends on what makes your imagination run wild. However, this did not kill my love of science fiction.

Blair Witch Project, on the other hand, was not the least bit scarey to me, just dumb and boring -- because it was all based on being afraid of sounds in the woods at night. I live in the country, I love the woods, even at night I know the sounds -- so nothing in the film was scarey, just dumb. Especially when they kept crossing the same creek over and over. Any Boy Scout knows that if you wander aimlessly in the woods you will go in circles -- but if you follow water downstream, you will probably come to a house, road, or other civilization. My take on Blair Witch is that they all died of terminal stupidity!

Answer 5

The Twin Peaks movie called "Fire Walk With Me" It doesn't make much sense which is what is terrifying. Back in the 80s, there was a television drama/soap opera called Twin Peaks. I never watched it as I was too young at the time, but the series started with someone finding the body of Laura Palmer. Laura Palmer was the most popular girl in high school. The whole TV series (I think it was on for 2 years) was mainly focused on who killed Laura Palmer. The movie 'Fire Walk With Me' goes back 7 days before Laura Palmer death and 'explains' what happened. If you like scary movies like The Ring, you will probably like this. Have someone there to watch it with. :)

Answer 6

The Blair Witch Project

Answer 7

The Blair Witch Project

Answer 8

The original Texas Chainsaw Massacre

Answer 9

Well, it's not really a horror movie but it tells scary things. "An inconvienient Truth", starring Al Gore, is a documentary about global warming. It shows all the horrible things that are happening, and what will happen in the future. In almost every horror movie, there's a hero. There isn't one here. You can't stop this problem. That's the scary thing.

Answer 10

The newest Texas Chainsaw Mass. Movie that came out.

Saw II as well
