David Lynch's movies scare me more than any horror movie. Eraserhead is creepy as hell and that dude in Mullholland Drive gets me every time.

This is good to know, Knobbs. I usually get shite from people when I admit to how bad the Ring fricked me up. Different strokes for different folks though. There were just some things in that movie that found a way down to my core, where my innermost fears live. Where I've probably suppressed a lot of shite or something but I sometimes can't even explain why it got me so bad. I just know that it did.

I know what you mean man. Sometimes it's the weird shite...stuff that isn't even in what most would call a horror movie that's really gotten to me before.

On Summer of Sam for example. The simple little part where the black lab comes in the room and says "I want you to kill. Killll. Killll." That shite always sends a chill up my spine.

Exorcist is the one but the original Friday the 13th is second in my book. Besides Jason coming out of the water at the end, the scene when the cat came through the open window moved me out of my seat.

Yeah, the original Friday the 13th had a few moments that made me jump. I also watched it a little later in life, I had pretty much seen all the Friday the 13th's up until Jason Goes to Hell(1993) except that one, then I caught the original for the 1st time one night not long after that. More than anything I was afraid of Betsy Palmer that played Pamela Voorhees. She was incredibly fricking creepy, and I knew this bitch that worked in our local movie theater that looked just like her...she was equally creepy.

The Freddy and Jason movies never really scared me, I always just saw them as cartoonish characters and I actually thought Freddy was hilarious. The first Freddy Movie that kind of got to me was "New Nightmare", the one that was about the actual characters of the movie, playing themselves IRL and being haunted IRL by Freddy(holy shite this is confusing to try and explain), but that one touched on a fear of mine. That, and then Jason's Mom was the scariest part of the Friday the 13th movies.


Oh and Pet Sematary got me too. That was another one of the few that fricked with me as a 12 year old and again later in my 20's. There are a few scenes in that one I can't shake, like the scenes with Rachels anorexic sister, when they were kids. I always jump when I see that shite.

Specific things creeped me out, as opposed to subject matter. Contortionists, yeah, frick them.

One I can think of is the scene where Regan is doing that crabwalk down the stairs in the Exorcist (I think this may be removed from some cuts), and Tool videos.

That damn kid in the elevator that meows in the Grudge.

I really can't watch someone walking towards me with the blip effect (they will disappear and reappear closer to you very suddenly), a la the Ring.

Sinister really could have fricked me up though, had it not been for the ending. The 20 minute shitstorm at the end that movie is the only thing that helped me sleep that night.

HELL YES. That was one of the things I was trying to describe. Also when someone is like floating across a room, when their feet isn't touching the ground. This happened in that shitty Wynona Ryder movie "Lost Souls"....the movie kind of sucked, but that part fricked me up none the less.

Like, walked out because you were scared? or because it sucked?

I actually think if I'd went to the movies to see it with some friends, I would have been way better off than watching it by myself one night at 2 in the morning.

Got one for ya. Jennifer Carpenter does some creepy shite with her body in "The Exorcism of Emily Rose". Then there are the dissolving faces...

I always find movies scariest when they're atmospherically scary and have some kind of tie-in to real life.

The Ring scared the shite out of me. Before you die, you see the Ring. That movie lead to so much pranking by friends that I wished it never came out when I was a kid.

Yeah, that was legit creepy and had it's moments. But overall, it just didn't do it to me like the Ring. I think maybe I was a little uncomfortable that night trying to fall asleep, but after that it was pretty forgettable. Like right now, at this moment, I can damn near scare myself from going to bed thinking about the ring.

Still haven't and will not watch the Exorcist


Child's play fricked me up as a kid and Insidious up until the end scared the crap out of me.
