Answer 2

I don't generally watch horror films because I don't like blood & guts, and I don't like feeling extremely startled and/or frightened. I know -- I'm a boring wimpy girl! *chuckle* However, I must say that "The Blair Witch Project" had me glued to the edge of my seat!! This seemed to be a movie that people either thought was really good or really lame. I thought it was really good, for too many reasons to go into now.

The bottom line is, I found it very easy to imagine myself vicariously experiencing what the 3 main characters were, and that made it all the MORE scary! The whole movie just had a weird/menacing mood to it. *shiver* Plus, sometimes understated scary things that you don't see, are more frightening than in-your-face scary things (anyone remember the scene in "Signs" where the alien is pacing back & forth in the closet, and all you can see is occasional break-ups in the crack of light beneath the door? That's one of my scariest scenes EVER, mainly because of what you don't see, but is left instead to your imagination!)

Hmm, I guess I'd have to add "Signs" to my list of movie that terrified me. So, it's that, and "The Blair Witch Project".

Answer 3

I don't watch horror films anymore...but I did when I was like 9! Crazy, isn't it? Well, The Ring, Final Destination 1 and 2, I don't remeber any other really scary ones. I have seen other ones, I just don't remember what they were.

Answer 4

The scariest mainstream film that I have ever seen is 'The Haunting' (that's the black and white original not the recent rubbish, rubbish remake). No violence, precious few visual effects, but scary enough to make a big, bald guy like me lose sleep the following night. It's the sound effects that do it - the rhythmic pounding of the unseen entity moving down the corridor, the terrifying giggling children. And THAT line:
'Who's hand was I holding?'
Stick that in your pipe and smoke it, Wes Craven.

Answer 5

I stupidly agreed to watch the Japanese version of The Grudge, even tho I hate horror films with a vengance..... ohmygod I was so so scared! Worst thing is, because I was watching the Japanese version, I couldn't not look at the screen cos I needed to read the English subtitles to understand what was going on doh!

Answer 6

Not a horror film, but All the President's Men is pretty scary, since it's a true story of what the government (in this case Nixon's) can do to people.

Answer 7

Maybe not horror films as such...but have to mention a couple of David Lynch movies :
1. Blue Velvet : the underbelly of American suburbia. Man, Dennis Hopper and his cronies were scary.

2. Eraserhead : can't say I really liked it, but it played with my head. Felt like I'd been taken to some parallel universe - and took me some time to get out of there !! Brrr !

Answer 8

It was the first Alien film. When the alien burst out of John Hurt's chest I almost leapt out of my seat. At the time I worked in a surgical theatre and had spent the afternoon watching an open heart operation! Ironic.

Answer 9

The original Texas Chainsaw Massacre is probably the most disturbing movie I've ever seen. My favorite horror movie is 28 Days Later.

Answer 10

John Carpenter's The Fog

Answer 11

The ring and saw 1 and 2.
