mine is The Entity....very scary and based on a true haunting. Have someone with you when you watch this one...

Highly taut and suspenseful ghost story starring Barbara Hershey as a single mother who is repeatedly attacked and raped by forces unseen in her California home. Though her children witness one of the attacks, Hershey follows the counsel of a psychologist played by Ron Silver, who believes her “attacks” are psychic trauma from her childhood and a reaction against her relationships with men.

The Haunting direced by Robert Wise in 1963 and starred Julie Harris based on a novel by Shirley Jackson (a brilliant contributor to the New Yorker in the 1950s.)

Loved that one but I would go for The Shining. Jack Nicholson was brilliant in it but the whole atmosphere of the deserted Hotel just puts you on edge from the start.

the 1st time i saw that i was a bit to young to understand everything that was going on, but i appreciated it a lot more when i watched it again later.

The Exorcism Of Emily Rose is another good film, took me 2 watches to get through it! :lol:

Yeah,The Shining for me too,Gene.Exorcist was good but a bit overated.What about these Saw movies are they as good as their made out to be?Also liked The Others,although somebody did spoil the twist for me at the end.

recenntly watched a film called 'Rec', which is very scary! Its a Spanish film with subtitles, the recent remake of this film was 'Quarantine', not seen it yet, but dont think it got great reviews. Original is apparently better. Check it out. Very scary!

The closing moments of 'Carrie' did it for me.
The hand suddenly shooting out from the grave.
Cinema audience gasped/shrieked to a man ! - the women screamed .
It frit the living daylights out of me for a second or three.

Herbie. "That wasn't a scary film Dougal. But Father Ted, a Volkswagen Beetle with a mind of its own!!"

I watched The Haunting when I was quite young. No scary monsters or gory violence but I was cacking myself with fear. Hollywood often resorts to torture porn in order to scare nowadays.

that is a true horror the ones that keep you guessing that dont need to show you but conjours (spelling) up wild thoughts in your head i love the intence feeling you get i dont need to see it (well i dont:lol:) . the descent and the hole done this one does have a monster the other a few nasty (yuk) sceens but just enough to get you thinking.

The Premature Burial scared me so much, talking about it in the pub the next evening I reckon i did a near four minute mile getting home, Edgar Allan Poe
master of horror in my experience.

Maybe not the scariest but watched Quarantine and was actualy quite a good film. I thought the main actress played that part well. She seemed to be really frightened playing the part.

Night of the living dead (the old one) I was getting looked after by my older brother one night when i was 6 and he said he'd let me stay up to watch this.
I was so scared and I actually couldnt look away from the TV as my brother was physically holding my eyelids open :eek:
I have been petrified of all zombie/living dead type films since..the experiance scarred me for life - I still have nightmares of zombies chasing me! lol

IT by stephen king scared me senseless too. Again i was too young to be watching it but at least i could hide at the scary bits instead of having evil brothers force me to see all the bad stuff.

I think it has to be :-

The Haunting

The old one in Black and White and NOT the new one. When the Banging is heard on the walls I jump even though I know it is coming. :eek:

Yes definately a scary film.
