Also for me exorcism of emily rose was pretty rough
In college, my roommate and myself drank and watched that. Really intense. Not too scary. I really liked it. Anyway, I went to the bar after and he went to bed. I get dropped back off a few hours later. Drunk as shite. I have no clue where my keys are, so I bang on his window. He said he nearly had a heart attack because the movie scared the shite out of him and he thought I was the devil. Good fricking times.

The scariest movies to me are the ones that last with you when you're done watching.
Paranormal activity felt like it could happen. Best example of a modern horror movie I can think of. I actually thought PA3 was the scariest one because it touched on one of my biggest fears which is witchcraft/satanism.
The ring and the months surrounding its release was incredible. I was in 7th or 8th grade and there were widespread prank calls going on. It was pretty genius marketing with the whole meta "you die 7 days after you see the Ring"
Blair witch project for obvious reasons.
Jaws was another one. It single handedly made me scared to go in the water, even pools for more years than I'm comfortable to admit, although I wasn't really scared in a horror sense while I watched it.
But I would have to say the absolute scariest movie ever released relative to the time it was released was the Exorcist.
Now for my unpopular picks:
The grudge, the American version. I don't know if I was just in the wrong frame of mind when I saw it because I don't see a lot of people agreeing with me here, but so many things in that movie horrified me. The noises, the kid, the cat. It just killed me.
The Witch. If for no other reason than the witchcraft/satan angle I found it extremely disturbing. I feel like this movie is criminally underrated. I don't know if it was how slow it was or if it didn't have any jump scares or what. It's a slow burn thriller with great atmosphere and it's pretty beautifully shot.

Nah this is a good call. Kinda a shite movie, but definitely scary. It came out after the Ring by a year or two so I was still middle school age. This one messed me up. The sound that girl makes, her face, the crawling.. and honestly partly because she was asian (I was not very cultured at that age) freaked me out

The one that stuck with me, even thought now I watch it and I'm not incredibly terrified is Strangers. But I saw it when I was 16 and was very scared.
Now other movies stick with me. The executions in Sinister are especially disturbing.
Vivarium is maybe the most disturbing of them all. Something about that movie really didn't sit right with me. It wasn't all that suspenseful but there was something truly horrifying about it.

I am scared to watch anything that deals with Satan or being possessed. Fire in The Sky with Aliens made me very paranoid for about a month. I went to see a psycharitrist and was on an antipsychotic for three months.
The original , "Don't be afraid of the Dark (1973) keep me up when I was young.
The movie, Coma(1978), had me so scared that I slept on my parents bedroom floor.
The Body Snatchers did a number on me too.

Does anyone remember a movie called The Gate? I had to look it up to remember the name, it starred a young Stephen Dorff in I think his first movie. It was about kids left home alone and releasing demons or something from a hole in their backyard, the part that I remember freaking me out as a kid was one of the kids having an eye ball growing in the palm of his hand he had to stab with glass

I remember The Gate. I don’t remember it being scary, more of a kids adventure with some intense bits. Been a while, though.

Kinda surprised nobody has said any of the movies from the Saw series. Also Stephen Kings IT freaked me out as a kid.

Not the scariest movie but the scene in Hereditary where the mom starts crawling on the walls and starts banging her head on the attic was some freaky shite

Amityville 2 scared the crap out of me back in the day.

quote:Never saw it and never plan on watching it. I believe this movie is banned in most countries. If I recall correctly, it is a very realistic movie because likely most of it is real, like actually killing animals in the movie. Plus one girl was possibly murdered on film by impaling her on a pole. Critics and viewers stated that scene was way too realistic and sickening. Also seems like the producer (or director) of this film perhaps allowed his wife to be kidnapped and murdered by natives in exchange for completing the film. My recap above is based on my memory of reading about this years ago, so anyone knowledgeable of the movie can correct me if I am wrong.

You think someone actually was murdered on the set of CH?
Someone already addressed this, but that is hilarious. The animal killings were real though, and sort of disturbing in their own right. But the movie itself is definitely not “scary” IMO.

This one disturbed me. Most horror movies are pure entertainment and fun but one stuck with me.

Smile was good until the last act IIRC.
Smile 2 was absolute trash though. It was hilariously bad.

Gremlins wrecked me as a kid.
Still won't watch to this day.
Evil little bastards.
