3 Creepiest Movies

[The Conquistador]

What are the 3 movies that scared the heebeejeebies out of you?
Mine are(in no particular order)

It

The Thing

Carrie

[rockabilly]

I was raised on horror movies , so nothing really scares me. Once you know how FX are done then it takes the scare out. But the "Hostel" series was quite brutal. And the movie " Teeth " ... 2 words Vagina Dentata ... Glad i'm into Tgirls. ;)

[rockmyown]

i like horror movies but the scariest i've ever seen was cabin fever!!!

[liesjeversteven]

Horror movies are a bit of a hobby of mine and they don't scare me much any more. When I was young that was not the case though.
When I first saw "the exorcist" I peed in my bed because I was too scared to come out to go to the toilet.
Another one I found really scary at the time was "prince of darkness" with Alice Cooper, and the first "Alien"

[rockabilly]

The Exorcist ... good choice. I got the box set of all the films but have not had time to watch it yet. Now i have my Memorial Day plan ... watch the Exorcist box set

[ARIES666]

Most times, it is what you cannot see, not what you can see that is truly scary. A "horror" movie in the hands of a skilled director is the most important element. Gratuitous use of gore, blood, monsters, etc...they are elements...but not the most important elements. Enough rambling on (I tend to do that)....here are my top three films for "jump out of your seat moments"

ALIEN (1979, Ridley Scott-director)
HALLOWEEN (1978, John Carpenter-director)
EXORCIST (1973, William Friedken-director)

[hellos123]

Oh mann. 13 Ghosts movie scared the living daylights out of me. I couldn'
t shower by myself or go to the bathroom by myself after seeing it. i was afraid i'll see that naked girl ghost there

[violet lightning]

These all scared the crap out of me when I first saw them:
1.) The Shining
2.) Alien
3.) Island of Terror (British monster movie from the 1960's about these creepy bone-sucking creatures!)

honorable mention to "Phantasm", "The Thing"(remake), and "High Tension"

[rockabilly]

Now High Tension was great, thats how you do a twist ending. Great acting and gore effects. The Last House on the Left ( original) and Maniac were scary. Just shows that man can be more tesrifying than any monster.

[Bionca]

REC (Quarantine) freaked me out.. in such a delightful way. I adore horror movies. The problem is I get pretty caught up in them and have a tendency to slap the person next to me when I get surprised.

The remake of Dawn of the Dead (while not as good a Romero) made me wonder every time I heard an ambulance in the distance...

[rockabilly]

They need to make a sequel to the Dawn remake. It was such a thrill ride that i want more. That Day of the Dead remake w/ Vhing Rames and Mena Suvari sucked !! OMG it was awfull! I liked Tom Savinis remake of Night of the Living Dead. Any fans of the original " Return of the Living Dead " movie

If you loved me you'd let me eat your brains.....

[rockabilly]

" Send more paramedics... "

[tslust]

Quarantine was pretty creepy. Also, I liked 1408, Dreamcatcher, and Ghost Ship.

[fionahavelock]

i always love " the silence of the lambs" kinda scary for me cos in my mind, it could happen in real life..
"the mist" also kinda scary for me in the end, when he killed his 4 friends just before he could get help..
the last scary movie i watch that i remember is "one missed call"...

[worlock1422]

"Seven" one creepy ass movie!!

Cristine by Steve King...Great car!! Did he do it or was it the car *thinks*

3rd is a hard one, 13 Ghost was great but then theres,

Ghost Ship was good not that scary but Creepish.




Dreamcatcher was a good movie.

*huge movie buff*

[hankhavelock]

1. Reservoir Dogs
2. An Inconvenient Truth
... I haven't yet watched Oliver Stone's "W", but I'm certain that particular one will plough its way in as a ghoulish numero uno...

[JWKB85]

I would have to say my top would be:

1. The Exorcist--still creeps the shit out of me

2. Rosemary's Baby--creepy old people and Satan, that says it all.

3. Scream--Smartest slasher films, in my option :respect:

In the spirit of this thread, I wanted to share some pics for TS Jessie, my dream girl :inlove: You'll get the connection. Enjoy!

[Ramboner]

Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer

It didn't scare me but it made me feel like I had to take a shower after watching it. Great movie but I begin to lose faith in the human race while viewing it. The home invasion scene is quite possibly the most depressing and horrifying thing ever put to film.

[lbluver]

[QUOTE=TheAngryPostman;84640]What are the 3 movies that scared the heebeejeebies out of you?

1. Shining,
2. Rosemary's Baby,
3. Alien.

Lbluver

[GRH]

I don't think I could rank them as "scary" per say, but these films were pretty creepy to me.

Mulholland Drive
Silence of the Lambs
Wolf Creek

[violet lightning]

What about "Blue Velvet"! If a psycho-sexual Dennis Hopper huffing gas isn't creepy, I don't know what is! :eek:

"Deliverance" also had a pretty high "creep factor" due to those pervy hillfolk.

[rockabilly]

The creepy thing in Deliverence is ... the dissapearance of Burt Reynolds moustache! lol

[tslust]

I remember the first time I saw Arachnophobia, it scared the :censored: out of me. For about a month, I wouldn't go anywhere alone, and even today, I still sometimes check for spiders.:lol:

[Tread]

I hope my Arachnida Avatar is not to scary.;)

For me little girls, like in Ring, are much more frightening.

[tslust]

I hope my Arachnida Avatar is not to scary.;)
:lol:its okay
For me little girls, like in Ring, are much more frightening.

The ring didn't do anything for me. If I see a creepy, grey, and wet girl crawling out of my T.V., I'm just gonna change the channel.:lol::lol:

[violet lightning]

Since its almost Halloween, I think I'll add a few more movies to my original list that to me were creepy or just plain scary! :eek:

"The Birds"....creepy AND scary! Especially the scene as the schoolkids try to walk by the schoolyard full of birds.

"Silent Hill"....overall so-so, but it had some damn scary/creepy moments and images.

"Carrie" ...the original version. Great ending.

[rockabilly]

A great movie to watch is " Frailty " . What a great movie , Bill Paxton gives an amazing performance and was a brilliant director. I highly recommend this movie as well as " Hatchet " and " Behind the Mask- The Rise of Leslie Vernon ". To help get you into the Halloween spirit. The remake of " Children of the Corn " was good and faithful to Stephen King's short story.

[The Conquistador]

Some other scary ones (remember I was a kid when I saw these)

Hellraiser

The Hills Have Eyes (the original one)

Nightmare on Elm Street

[aw9725]

1. The Shining
2. Carrie
3. Exorcist

Honorable mention to: Psycho and Marathon Man ("Is it Safe?") :eek:

[SweetCharmer]

"Silent Hill"....overall so-so, but it had some damn scary/creepy moments and images.

Silent hill only makes me laugh coz of the part wit hthe nurses and the first appearance of pyramid head with the woman skin rape :lol:

for me the creepiest movies are the ones that get inside your head and mess with you like the mouth-man prophecies or sumthing like that

[DSL]

Stephen King Cujo
that movie make me shit!

the Exorcist kept me up for a week when i first saw it
my bed kept shaking.

Chain Saw Massacre
a classic!

[violet lightning]

:D Fuck! I forgot to mention "The Wicker Man" (the original)
That had a pretty high creep factor...
Also "Misery" was intensely creepy at times!! (some great lines came from it too!)

Most any movie with evil talking/possessed dolls or ghost/demon children I find creepy. (The Shining, The Omen, Magic, ...)

[petreski]

The Blair Witch project is the most creepiest move ever:cool:

[artstar1413]

This one movie I have in my collection called Alice Sweet Alice. It's the first movie that Brooke Shields ever acted in, and came out in the early seventies. Check it out at wikipedia.

[artstar1413]

I should add, the more popular movie Halloween gets a lot of inspiration from Alice Sweet Alice, Except it's a little girl who's responsible.

[rockabilly]

Alice Sweet Alice was really good. Also known as Communion , it has a great twist to it. Madman is also a great slasher film.

[TSBBG]

Session 9

The Exorcist

Wolf Creek

[JonFrum]

The original Boris Karloff Frankenstein scared the bejeesus out of me when I was a young kid. Those of you who grew up watching Halloween and the Texas Chainsaw Massacre won't know what I'm talking about.

The Brood by David Cronenberg - Cronenberg is a freak, very disturbed.

Marathon Man - I can't watch the dental scene. That's scary, but in a repulsive way. I prefer psychological horror, but Marathon Man did make me turn away.

[LeeIII]

Amityville Horror both the 1979 and the remake in 2005
The Haunting in Connecticut (based on true events)
The Exorcism Emilly Rose (the best ones are the ones that are true story's like this one )
So if you need a good scream check these out for your self

[smc]

I'm glad to see at least a few people post films that aren't necessarily considered to be "horror" films, since "creepy" and "horror" are not synonymous. Creepy means producing the feeling of uneasy fear, a sensation often described as something crawling over your skin. That doesn't necessarily have to be a horror movie. For instance, I found the mere act of looking at the "finished" Michael Jackson after all his plastic surgeries to be creepy. Listening to the monotonic drone of Wolf Blitzer on CNN gives me the creeps, too.

That said, one particular film comes to mind when I think of the word "creepy:

Donnie Darko

[St. Araqiel]

Alien (I knew what was going to happen, and that made it worse!)
Poltergeist (Living trees! Animated clown dolls! Skeletons in swimming pools! Mommy, make it stop!)
The Ring (The footage on that damn videotape is one of the most disturbing things I have ever seen *shudders*)

[KittyKaiti]

"Critters" scared the shit out of me as a child. For years I feared walking around in the dark. I thought the little killer critter monsters were rolling around on the floor and if I walked around they would get me. It kept me in bed at bed time. I don't have that fear anymore. Now I fear demonic possession thanks to "The Exorcism of Emily Rose" and the show "Paranormal State". I have recurring dreams/borderline nightmares of a demon attempting to attack and possess me. I believe in ghosts too, so this doesn't help.

[violet lightning]

Allright, these are both creepy AND weird! (both produced several quesey, uneasy moments)
"Naked Lunch" (another David Cronenberg film I think) and
"Gummo"
Watch them at your own peril...:eek:

[The Conquistador]

I don't know about you guys but the Final Destination movies kinda creeped me out. They weren't scary per se but the whole idea of how small things can affect you in a big way (and be possibly deadly) kinda freaked me out. I was real paranoid for a while after I saw them. :eek:

[Tbone]

I remember the first time I saw Arachnophobia, it scared the :censored: out of me. For about a month, I wouldn't go anywhere alone, and even today, I still sometimes check for spiders.:lol:

I know Arachnophobia is more of a comedy than a scary movie, but when we watched it at the cinema some friends sitting a few rows behind us threw some empty sweet wrappers at us during the scene near the end of the film when the spiders start appearing all over the house. I'm not bothered by spiders, but I don't think anything I've ever seen in a film spooked me as much as those sweet wrappers did.:lol:

[JohnInMi]

The scariest bit of film I EVER saw was actually an episode of Boris Karloff's old "Thriller" series from the early 1960's, specifically the one titled, "An Attractive Family."
Mind you, there was no gore, excessive brutality, zombies, 'monster' figure or supernatural element involved. The plot simply concerned two siblings and their uncle who would murder their in laws for inheritance earnings. The sheer COLDNESS and efficiency of their methods and the way they would plan and commit murder w/ smiles on their faces makes it one of the creepiest pieces of cinema I have seen even to this day :)

[Rondaddy1]

How 'bout five?

1. The Shining (1980)
2. The Exorcist (1973)
3. Begotten (1991)
4. The Amityville Horror (2005)
5. The Ring (2002)

[samsson.smith]

Signs is one of the scariest I think, aliens are CREEPY.

[kingtheoden]

Dario Argento's Suspiria has always given me an unequaled feeling of unease. It's at times ultra violent, surreal, beautifully shot, phantasmagorical, bizarre, unsettling, excellently paced, bone-chillingly scored (by the brilliant Goblin) and brilliantly paced. As a long time horror fan, this was one that still gives me the chills when I see it again.

Another under-appreciated gem is Lucio Fulci's magnum opus, The Beyond. Long thought of as solely a gore director, hack imitator, etc, people normally gloss over his ability to capture the surreal and supernatural and mix it in with a healthy dose of atmospherics that were very unique. The epitome of this style was demonstrated in The Beyond. Yes, he wasn't renown for particularly great screenwriting or casting, but the man could lay on the imagery and inject it with a feeling of the strange and otherworldly. The film almost is drenched with the stench of hopelessness and chaos. When the shit hits the fan it comes in droves, beautifully articulated in jaw-dropping bone and gristle set pieces and an almost artistic look at the impending doom that the movie sets up. It's awesome.

A little flick called Dead End also gave me the willies when I saw it. It expertly used imagery and ideas that have given the common populace goosebumps for years by merely thinking about them and turns them into a trip into the unknown for the unsuspecting family that serve as it's protagonists. Although anyone with any common sense can see the ending coming a mile away it does nothing to rob the film of it's achievements in giving people the friggin' creeps.


Kudos to whoever mentioned John Carpenter's Prince of Darkness. Love The Thing as I do. I still think his masterpiece was Prince of Darkness, even troubled by a lacking budget the ideas and direction were fantastic...and that ending!

[ladiesman217]

eraserhead's up there for me. watching it was a surreal experience and you will NOT forget some of the scenes in there especially the one with the ones with the deformed baby.

gotta agree with the thing being creepy tho, the blood test scene was especially priceless.

[handlewithcare]

ya cool...the ring..and final destination 1 are my fav

[a9127]

If it's "disgusting" as in "never should have been made" creepy, then my top 3 are:

Bloodsucking Freaks
I Spit on Your Grave
Last House on the Left

I'm ashamed that I ever watched them. :blush:

As far as "mainstream" movies I concur with Rondaddy1:

The Exorcist
The Shining

and would add...

Carrie

[liesjeversteven]

I don't know why you're bumping a five ear old thread, but the utmost creepies movie I've ever seen is "A Serbian Movie - aka - Srpski Film"

Yes it sounds creepy. I'd never heard of it before. But why do you have a problem with my "bumping a five (y)ear old thread"? :frown:

[OKC]

A movie I haven't seen here yet that creeped me out is The Babadook. It just came out this year and it's definitely a movie any horror fan should check out. It's kind of a mix of psychological horror, home invasion, and demonic possession!
