Movies that scare the $#!t outta you
 
In honor of the spookiest month of the year coming up. How about we all list movies that scare the heck outta us? Even if you're a little embarrassed to admit. What movie(s) scares or scared you a profound amount when first watching?

Piranha. The original, mind you. Watched a week-long killer-creature marathon when I was about 9, and that was the ONLY one that scared me- even the sequel didn't bother me, but THAT one gave me nightmares for weeks! Didn't help that people were finding "piranhas" in our local lake occasionally around that time. They were actually the somewhat related but vegetarian pacu fish, but still.... To this day, I still don't like swimming where I can't see what's in the water.

Moments from Jaws and Return to Oz really do scare the living daylights out of me. However, as the great leader of the TMNT once said, "Fears are just in our minds and we have the power to overcome them."

I think I've become to desensitized by horror and violence at this point. Hardly anything scares me anymore, except when it comes to two things: giant bugs and creepy, homicidal marionettes. Put either of those in a film, and I'll most likely crap my pants!

That said: You definitely win. NOTHING could possibly be more horrifying than THAT. Now people are gonna go either watch it read about it, and they'll never fully be able to erase it from their memories.

Thanks a f*ckton, You. :trazz:

Meanwhile, movies in general don't affect me, but anything with wrist slashing or graphic depiction of wrist veins, for some reason, makes me highly uncomfortable. That one scene in Nightmare on Elm St. 3, that's pretty bad. I actually sometimes get a little dizzy watching that.

Not blood and gore in general, for some reason, I'm fine with all that stuff in buckets. Specifically wrist veins, is the problem. ((Shudder))

I'm a little odd when it comes to something like this. Most people may not ever pick these 3 movies, but anyway..

1. Anaconda. reason snake phobia

2. Twister. reason, just because a twister is a real thing and they happen around here during certain times and I never want to be caught in one. Actually love the movie though.

3. The Omen. reason, just f*ck that movie.

Pet Cemetery

The Woman in Black

There was another one that freaked me out recently. I can't remember the name but this family moved into this house and some demon took over the mom.

I get spooked by things involving demons. Not the monster-looking kind, the Paranormal Activity kind.

That's the only horror that's managed to remain with me after I stopped watching the movie. I guess because it seems like it's a thing that could possibly happen. Some kind of entity targeting you and disrupting your life in small ways that gradually build up and drive you crazy?

AT-Man 10-01-2015 04:35 AM

Ringu and Grudge spooked me the most, couldn't sleep without lights on for a while.

Pet Semetary also, when I was younger.

Wildcat 10-01-2015 05:04 AM

Child's Play when I was a kid. I remember having nightmares. Funny that it turned out to be my favorite horror series but guess we all like being scared sometimes...it's why we celebrate Halloween right?

I hate spiders so Arachnophobia always makes feel creepy-crawly.

The Final Destination movies creeped me out because accidents, no matter how unlikely, can actually happen.

Krutch 10-01-2015 01:57 PM

The first time I saw The Descent(before it came to America) it scared the crap out of me.

plastroncafe 10-01-2015 02:01 PM

The Exorcist
The Handmaid's Tale

Icebot 10-02-2015 06:40 PM

Scream scared me.

Shark_Blade 10-02-2015 09:11 PM

^Scream was just stupid teenagers on drugs. What's to be scared of them? :lol:

Sinister
Insidious 3
It Follows
Triangle
The Shining
Juon 2
Final Destination
Saw

Fun scary movies tbh. :)

That sure as hell wasn't why I did it. Anyway, as for my picks:

The Wanderers: It's a movie set in the Bronx in the early 60s that features gangs, and the Wanderers were a gang of Italian-American youths. There's this one gang called the Ducky Boys who are from one of the worst parts of the Bronx, and what makes them so freaky is that they don't speak. It's especially freaky when one of the Wanderers ends up in the area and is cornered by them everywhere he goes when he tries to escape.

Ghost: When the two main antagonists get dragged down into the underworld after they get themselves killed.

The Princess and the Frog: It's the main antagonist's "death" scene.

I don't watch horror movies at all.

Blossombrooks 10-03-2015 04:23 AM

Ooh Stephen King's The Mist creeps me the hell out, I still hate driving in the fog!! 28 Days Later is pretty bad too, I was a wreck after watching that.
I know its not a film but I do watch The Walking Dead and that scares me witless, the whole apocalyptic/zombie is terrifying. Still keep watching though so I guess some strange part of me enjoys it?!

LeotheLateBloomer 10-03-2015 10:25 AM

I don't really watch too many horror movies since that's not my genre but the original The Fly movie scarred me when I watched it as a teenager. The ones that upset my stomach the most though are body horror movies not because they're scary but because they're gross to look at.

Which leads me to ask, are the Human Centipede trilogy of movies or Tusk by Kevin Smith scary?

Yep. Those movies did it for me too. Never seen Pet Semetary.

I enjoyed the Final Destination and Saw films.

Exorcist didn't scare me much, but it was creepy. The Shining was good too.

Lol Imma check out that Serbian Film though.
