Exorcist or The Omen

Yeah, they are but also try "The Entity" with Barbara Hershey. That was a movie about a demon who resided in a house. And it repeatedly sexually abused poor Barbara. But it is based on a true story. For real!

Edit: So very subtly during this movie you start to notice two glowing eyes peering out of the darkness. After watching it I fell to sleep restlessly. I woke up and noticed two frickin glowing points of light in the corner of my dark room. With a heartbeat of 180 I realized it was just a bit of light from the outside projecting through open spots between the drapes. Remember it is supposed to be a true thing. There are evil demons out there.

Not the scariest movies of all time, but horror movies I enjoy:

Thirteen Ghost and House on Haunted Hill

Similar movies that came out in the late 90s. I find them to be pretty fun watches.

Sounds like Exorcist and Paranormal Activity are the ones. I’ve seen the spinning neck thing. I’ve mid 30s, never seen it so I don’t think it’s going to hit like those of you who saw it as a kid. Although a few of you said you still wouldn’t watch it again so

Watched it in 02. Made a post about my place resembling The Ring. Once goblins, monsters, etc come into play, my lack of imagination comes in. If it can’t happen in real life, it’s hard to budge. I watched way too many behind the scenes on how movies were made growing up ie broccoli being a pinch sound, makeup time and seeing actors get hours of makeup.

Anywho, my dad will watch any movie. I have watched plenty of movies with him and he’s always telling me what he’s currently watching. He has a bad memory(recovered alcoholic and doesn’t take care of himself). I mention the Ring and he instantly remembered being creeped out and that one got under his skin.

I think it’s interesting the different kinds of scary/horror movies that get people. A wide variety. I rented the Exorcist as it was the most upvoted movie. Just moved into a place and Verizon failing me again. Three bars, can’t stream.

Also, it’s out of the ordinary for TD guys to openly admit vulnerability. That’s emotional intelligence. Bravo. Hey, fear is an illusion and I don’t believe in it, but a psychedelic given to me under perhaps the scariest situation you could imagine an ordinary person being in wiped out fear. (It involves the law) Been trying to induce fear and nothing. Multiple bong rips and settling into a horror movie late at night in the sticks seems interesting.

Big thank you to all who recommended something and engaged. I really wanted some answers and y’all delivered. Keep em coming.

that shower scene!

3 men and a baby.

Seriously, can you even imagine being a straight bachelor living with 2 other guys and then a baby shows up on the doorstep?

The Descent

The small spaces they crawl through in the caves gives me anxiety every time. Imagine dying from being stuck in a small arse tunnel. No thank you. Won’t see me cave exploring ever because of that movie.

Pet Sematary still holds up. The sister Zelda is one of the creepiest scenes of all time.

This. This right here. My aunt was dying of cancer when this came out and looked like she did. I still couldn't watch that movie again. Hell no.

I saw the original Halloween on TBS one Halloween night with my dad when I was about 10. For the next several months I refused to go outside alone at night. I was even afraid to take the trash to the road. And if I ever saw someone else outside down the street, they were always Michael Myers, and they were coming to kill me.

Aliens. Took me YEARS to get through the whole show...Now, it’s one of my favorite movies of all time. Just superb combination of space, fantasy, horror, drama, and incredible visuals. No CG makes it so realistic, and sucks you right into the movie... just an AWESOME work of art!

Runners up: American Werewolf in London (gosh, that first transformation!!!) and The Howling
