Absolute Scariest Movies

Jeepers Creepers 2 scares me everytime I watch it. I'm afraid to go outside in the dark for a week afterwards.

Speaking of, I just finished watching it. Now I'm afraid to go to the grocery store to pick up bread and milk for tomorrow.

Possibly this?

:bawl: I never even saw the movie, but now I'm going to have nightmares about it again.:bawl:
 
are you kidding me? That movie was weak, even weaker than the second one. I just saw Paranormal Activity 2 last night; it should be nominated for best comedy of the year.

I loved both movies and I think I know what separates the lovers from the haters, hear me out:

I think the P.A. movies are a very different sort of horror. Whereas most horror/thriller/slasher movies play upon ones fear of the absolute worst case scenario's occurring I think the P.A. films draw upon a very different sort of fear. Basically if you're sat at home late at night and suddenly something creaks down the other end of your house most people become ever so slightly paranoid. I think these movies attempt to play on the viewers fears of things like noisy houses, the fear of unexplained sounds, doors opening/closing by themselves etc. Which is different but at the same time only really appeals to certain people.

Me? I was never scared by the normal Freddy or Jason style movies but whenever I hear something in my house move that technically shouldn't, it freaks me out a little. I think that's why I liked these movies, because I legitimately fear being in the position of the protagonists.

Also if you're a fan of scary movies with a difference I suggest seeing a movie called Pontypool. It's not scary as such but it's a great twist on a zombie movie.

If the combined threat of Diane Keaton, Sarah Jessica Parker, Claire Danes, and Rachel McAdams doing a family Christmas movie doesn't frighten you then I don't know what will.

Thanks for reminding me - I've been meaning to never, ever watch that.

Seriously: EEK!!! :D


The Shining has a special place for me as one of the best intentionally scary movies.
 
Icon basser was scared @#$%less into only being able to laugh at Paranormal and the Ring. The mind has a way of shutting down especially if it's weak . He was screaming like a little girl inside but all he could do was laugh so his girlfriend or buddies wouldn't know!! HA! HA! We got your number! LOL!

incorrect. They were just... funny. Especially the part where the baby in the second one starts levitating up against the crib bars, the whole time I was thinking "Spider Man, Spider Man".
 
Deadsnow. Nazi Zombies. Kinda goes along with the Evildead/Bruce Campbell movies. Too bad he wasnt in it. Bubba hotep is great though. Cowboy mummy. awesome

Dead Snow was a great movie, surprisingly my dad seemed to really enjoy it too and it's rare for him to like a film and not start slating it off. I really liked the music in it too.

Agree with along the same lines as Evil Dead, good, funny, entertaining moments.
 
Sleepy Hollow I thought was O.K as it goes, for lite stuff.

The first minute of this 1977 kid's series 'Children of the Stones', it's so wrong, it scared the living daylights out of us back in the day! Very eerie indeed, all who saw it remembers it for the opening intro, pagan wailing galore! :eek:
