My favorite scary movies (or movies that scared the crap out of me)
1. Nightmare on Elm Street(original) after watching this as a kid I couldn't sleep very well.
2. The Beast Within
3. The Exorcist
4. Paranormal Activity
5. The Exorcism of Emily Rose
My list below are the ones that actually scared me while watching, as opposed to just my favourite horror/scary movies...
1. The Ring (those scenes when the camera zooms in real fast on those messed up scream faces)
2. Paranormal Activity (the suspense that movie builds is intense)
3. Nightmare on Elm Street 3 - Dream Warriors (I was 12 when I saw that for the first time, and it scared the hell out of me. When Freddy "puppet-walked" that guy of the roof got to me)
4. The Amityville Horror (two words that haunt me to this day - "Get Out")
5. Halloween (The menancing Michael Myers who just keeps on coming - and one of the scariest music scores I've ever heard)
watching it right now! http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k2.../0134-bear.gif
1. Suspiria
2. Wait Until dark (the climax scared the sh*t out of me)
3. Children Shouldn't Play With Dead Things
4. Tombs of the Blind Dead (La noche del terror ciego)
5. Rosemary's Baby
sk
1. The Thing (My all-time favorite scary movie. It still scares the crap out of me.)
2. Exorist 3 (If only for this terrifying scene...http://youtu.be/zH8ynu0jRvY)
3. Session 9 (creeptastic!)
4. The Fourth Kind (owls....ahhh!)
5. The Blair Witch Project (I saw it as a teenager and was completely terrified in the theatre).
P.S. - I ignored the supernatural requirement. :P
Heather - I would have panicked! :panic: :lol:
Ricky Grimes - double :wub:
LOL I noticed!!!! LOL
That Nurse scene was pretty creepy!!!
This scene was pretty creepy as well:

Chris, I liked it a lot! It isn't maybe much of a movie, but it has this nostalgic, sentimental value, being a perfect '70s family horror I appreciate greatly. I really really enjoyed it - and yes, some parts did, quite unexpectedly, seem scary. I don't think I will be very eager to recollect the Tall Man standing at the head of the bed when I am alone at night.
Othere I really like are:
The Ring
The Ring 2
Exorcism of Emily Rose
The Last Exorcism
Nightmare on Elm Street
Wes Craven's New Nightmare
Feast
Jacob's Ladder
The Gate
Poltergeist
Dead Snow (a must for B movie greatness haha)
Event Horizon
In the Mouth of Madness (Did I ever tell you my favourite colour is blue?)
Blair Wicth Project
From Dusk Till Dawn
Slither
Mimic
Dead Rising
The Relic
The Host
Cloverfield
Quarantine
Pandorum
30 Days of Night
Fallen
and, of course, Leprechaun 2.
I'm wanting to think on this awhile. I want to stick strictly to the creepy and unnerving side of things.
Yeah, it's one thing for me not to post my list, as a man who really hasn't watched that much horror outside of Who, but it's another for you not to post a list, Brice. Post, darn you!
*bumping this just for shiggles...
Just to celebrate it officially being October
1. Nightmare on Elm St
2. The Thing
3. Evil Dead 2
4. The Loved Ones
5. Cabin in the Woods
Honorable mentions: The Collector/Collection, Silent Hill, and The Descent
Hmmm, I missed this thread the first time. I agree that the "best" horror movie might not be the scariest. Is The Sixth Sense a horror movie? Probably not. And it's not particularly scary, except for a couple of jump scenes. But it is a great movie. Same goes for Jacob's Ladder. Is it a horror movie? I don't know, but it's a 5-star film for sure.
But the true "horror" movies that had me chewing on my knuckles the most would be (in no particular order):
The Omen
The Thing (1982)
A Tale of Two Sisters
Ju-on
Hereditary
A Nightmare on Elm Street (the original, before delving into self-parody)
Scream
Opera or Suspiria (got to give Argento some reps)
And a special mention to the 1977 Japanese movie House. There are no words to describe this film.
