I've always had a place in my heart for Hellraiser and Candyman. Clive Barker just pushes my buttons just right.

You mean beside the "acting" of Andie McDowell????

I still have to go with Alien and War of the Worlds (the 1953 version) (Saw this one when I was about 7 and was convinced Martians were invading)

Ghost Story scared the crap out of me when I was a kid and it still has some pretty effective scares even if the movie overall is only average. It made me go back and read the book, and that's become my favorite horror story of all time.

The Ring scared my ball hairs grey and the Exorcist is still the master.

Heh. Yesterday, I but mentioned this movie while chatting and I subconsciously glanced quickly at my TV to make sure it was off.

When I was a kid, the Living Dead movies. These days, the Japanese version of The Ring and Black Water. Also The Shining was pretty damn freaky.

THe Ring is extremely creepy. As an aside, at about the time I watched it, I was biking a paper route that had one place where I often saw the moon just obscured by a round traffic sign. It looked way similar to the Ring.

Poltergeist, to this day, is still one of the best horror flicks out there. Scared me whitless when I was a kid, and still gets me now.

Ghost Story, though, that is up there with Poltergeist in giving me the heebie jeebies.

Session Nine.

I watched it ALONE the first time. At the end, i couldn't remember if i'd locked the door. I choose to (potentially) be killed in my sleep, rather than walk through one room to the door to check and be killed by the psychopath who was OBVIOUSLY waiting for me in the kitchen.

I agree with both of these but the movie that scared me the most....get ready for it it is ....Tarantulas (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0076798/)

Alien (the first one) was so bad on me that I had to take breaks while watching in. The suspense in that one was BAD for my ten year old mind.

Heh. I've seen that one in the video rental, but chickened out renting it.

"What's your favorite scary movie?"
"Kazaam."
"That's not a scary movie!"
"Have you seen Shaq act?"

Nightmare on Elm Street (only the original) is one that has always kinda gotten to me.

In the Mouth of Madness.

Mm, that's a good one. Freaked me out when I was 12.

The scariest parts of Session 9 for me were the bonus features about behind the scenes. I would not want to be on set filming in that building.

Years ago, the SO was gripping on First Wave. They spent a week in an old asylum in Vancouver. Last one out has to do a gear check and make sure nothing was left behind. He refused to go back down into the basement alone to do the check. heheheh.

Another one that had me on edge the first time I watched it was Jacob's Ladder. It wasn't scary so much as intense and very WTF is going on.


I hate to admit it, but the first Blair Witch Project freaked me out. It wasn't so much the film as the mythos about the witch and the "archival" images they had of her.
