3 Creepiest Movies

[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"

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

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)

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

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"

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.

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...

[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.

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

The Exorcist
The Shining

and would add...
