I watch way to many movies, but this time of the year especially I enjoy pulling out those old dusty scary VHS tapes and getting a good scare. I don't scare that easy anymore but am curious as to what movies really scare you guys. Im not talking about the gore crap that is out today I mean a good old Hitchockian-no sleep that night scare.

Mine, what I consider the best horror flick ever

House of Wax - Vincent Prices best picture. (Cant beat the B&W's)

"Dumb and Dumber" - it scares me that there are REALLY people out there like that.

but for a true horror flick - The first "Alien" That critter popping out of nowhere had me and my date clutching eachother thru the whole movie.

The most disturbing "horror" flick I saw was one called "The Haunting" the old version...very psychologically scary about a house being haunted and wanting one of the women in the movie to join it.........gave me the creeps and I can't watch it to this day. Didn't pee my pants but got so damn spooked I crawled in bed with my mom........and I was 17 at the time.

Bibi: I forgot about that one! And TCM shows it about once a month! Just saw it a couple weeks ago! oooohhhhh creepy!

I agree totally, The original haunting is one of the best.

Another vote here for "The Haunting" original b&w version!
Not a drop of blood to be seen, but one of the most frightening movies I've ever seen!
Now, would somebody help me please????? What was the star's name??? It was Julie something.....I can see her face and can't think of her name!!

pfft. gimme the original Twilight Zone any day. but i tell ya, except for the last fifteen minutes, like in every book-to-flick King translation, Rose Red was creepy as balls. and to this day, i refuse to watch Pet Sematary by myself. fuck Zelda. that shit ain't right.

TY TY TY Skip!!!! It was driving me crazy!!! I KNEW her first name was Julie!
And you are so right about the music!!! That is so very integral...to any movie....but especially to thrillers. The composers who score these movies don't get the credit they deserve.

Looking through my collection and another must rent...

Black Sunday - 1960 Italian film, very very scary...a witch vampire whose head is encased in an iron mask....anyway, this is a movie where the score makes the movie, I saw it the first time with the american score and it was so-so. Then a few years ago they came out with an english version with the original Italian score and it was 20 times scarier.

Two movies that are not horror (or are they?) but really scaring a lot have been "Mad Max" and "Clockwork Orange". The second one was so hard that I couldn´t bear watching it completely.
Another movie, science fiction, that is scaring with funny elements was "Dark Star".

Anything by Hitchcock is great. I remember the first time I saw 'Birds'. I kept watching my canary out of the corner of my eye the next day!

Then, of course, for pure shock effects... "I hope no one was hurt.", "There was a woman on a bicycle. She died.", "You can see her? Where is she?!"

I have to agree The Birds ! I saw it the first time when I was 8 & now , I still watch out for SeaGulls .
