Audition (1999) by Takashi Miike

Answer 2

I am a true Horror fanatic, so it usually takes alot to scare me. I have not been scared from a movie in a long time. So I would have to say, for me, the scariest movies are the ones I watched when I was a kid and these movies set the standards for horror for me. It would have to be Salem's Lot (the original one), the Exorcist, and Jaws (would go into the water for a year after Jaws). Now a days No movie has scared me, but i can watch Exorcist and still be freaked out and Salem's Lot, whoa the master vampire still freaks me out.

Answer 3

It would have to be Fragile.
Not exactly scary but its kinda interesting story about the supernatural.
If you were asking about the scariest drama serial , it would have to be Ghost Wisperer.
