Scariest horror movies

[SlurmsMackenzie]

Yesterday went to the movies and watched The mist... was pretty scary, but the end was pretty weird... sad... stupid... i don't know; i can't describe it....

So pretty much like the end of 'It"?

[Gradon]

HATE! HATE! HATE IT!
That Clown gave me nightmares...

The most psychologically disturbing film I have ever seen is "American Psyco".

The movie doesn't exactly classify as a true horror film, but those who have seen it will know why I say it's "the most psychologically disturbing film I have ever seen".


Horror films have and will always remain my favorite movie genre, so I love and grew up on them all... Hellraiser, Friday the 13th, Nightmare, Night of the Living Dead, House of 1000 Corpses, 28 Days Later, etc. You name it, I like it (except for newer cheesy teen-horror flicks like "When a stranger calls", etc).

In term of "scariest", for me that would have to be the Hellraiser or Friday series. They're not scary to me now, but being forced to watch them as a child gave me profound nightmares.

The absolute WORST I would say is the "Chucky" series... Rated R for "retarded".

Chucky is cool! His first three movies anyway... Like, they're more thriller than action though.

His one-liners are memorable:
Grandma: "Ugly doll..."
Chucky: "Fuck you"

Chucky: "No, please, Andy... We're friends till the end, remember?"
Andy: "This is the end, friend." (that one was kinda stupid)

"How's it hangin', Phil?"
"You've been veeerrry naughty, Ms. Kettlewell..." (that one made me laugh so much)

[MeganGrass]

Hands down, i'll give ya that one - Chucky is hilarious at times. I love the way he cussed people...

Another horror icon that cussed people that I found to be hilarious was "Freddy Krueger" - "Sweet dreams, bitch."

Really? Disturbing? I actually enjoyed the hell out of it and found the dark humor hilarious. In fact, after I saw the movie I read the book, and it is probably one of my favorites if not my favorite book of all time.

Hellraiser kicks ass. The concept is really disturbing, and I love Pinhead. The Hellbound Heart book is really good (better than the film if not for the fact that it doesn't have Pinhead). Clive Barker is a nice guy too, I met him at a book signing where he signed the Hellbound Heart, his new book, and a message to my friend Gina saying I could be worse.

It's hip to be square!

What disturbed me about that movie is the fact that the main character could be ANYONE.

Hellraiser kicks ass. The concept is really disturbing, and I love Pinhead.

I second that. The concept of unleashing actual demons from hell through a puzzle box is amazing. I love how Pinhead "judges" souls, so to speak... and damn, does he and his cynobites do it well.

i'd go for 28 weeks later as the kinda horror film to make me think and make myself scared by thinking of scenes and what if they happend to me (btw i live in London, so walking around in London, feels like being in the film) :O
But a scary moment would have to be Alien, when the captain is in the air ducts and the crew are watching a little screen with the dot of the captain and the dot of the alien coming towards them. God i was thinking "let me go into the ducts and save him" or from actually not possibley being able to be in the film i thought "GOD DAM, GET IN THERE WITH YOUR GUNS BEFORE THE CAPTAIN GETS IT".

[FeurMensch]

I think 'An American Werewolf in London' is one of the scarier ones, but mostly all horror movies to me aren't even scary. I just watch for the monsters....

[Helegad]

Yeah, loved the first Alien. Really tense.

I vividly remember when Ripley tries to abort the self-destruct.

Ripley: "Mother, I've turned the cooling systems back on! MOTHER!"
"*computer says something about continuing the self-destruction system*"
Ripley: "YOU BITCH!" *she smashes a TV screen*

lol gd scene

I took your [unspoken] advice, and bought the book (American Psyco)... wil tell my thoughts after reading.

That's awesome. Remember though it's supposed to be a satire on the 80s. Most people forget that that's the primary goal of the book.

[FeurMensch]

like I said, you guys should look into 'An American Werewolf in London'. It's awesome and the werewolf TF is the best ever made!

here is a video of the transformation below in the spoiler

Don't worry FeurMensch, most of us have seen it. I've seen it multiple times and made my family see it (it that good). Plus the transformation scene is the best one ever and one of the best scenes of all time. Period. Blue moon.
