The original poltergeist scared the holy shit out of me.

Growing up I watched a lot of scary movies.  Back when I was a kid, The Entity scared the living shit out out of me.  As an adult, I think Event Horizon is the one that gets me the most.

Edit: I told my wife about this thread.  I asked her what the scariest movie she's ever seen.  Without hesitation, she said Event Horizon.  I forgot that we watched it at the theater.

Don’t give me no static but The Blair Witch Project worked on me. After camping out in the woods alone-it hit home.  Did the same on one of my buddies after he was lost in the woods once.

The Strangers was dang good too.  Bc of all the noises you hear around your house that go unexplained and you think WTH was that!?!?

I’d be curious to see how the original would have been before they cut out everything for the lighter MPAA rating. The original was supposed to have some pretty fucked up shit, which are only shown in brief flashes in the final cut.

Just opened the post and see the second post and need not read any further. My mom made a bad decision to take my slightly older sister and I to see this movie when I was 8 years old. It was truly terrifying having been raised Catholic especially since I was frequently in contact at a young age with kind hearted nuns and a priest at the cancer home where my grandparents performed volunteer work. Scared so much I read the Bible everyday and prayed to please not let me become possessed.

The strangers because it is fucked up and possibly realistic, with the way people are today.

Insidious and the conjuring both were really creepy to me from a supernatural standpoint. The idea that someone from beyond has been following you around your whole life is pretty creepy

Wolf Creek

Head on a stick freaked me out a little. I'm guessing it was partly due to it happening to the main character.

For all time I'd go Exorcist. #2 sucked donkey balls, #3, which should have been #2 was fantastic and creepy with George C. Scott.  I like #3 more as a movie than #1.  Both #4s were ok.

Alien is up there, I consider it probably the best movie made.

Hellraiser 1&2 were good before the rest got somewhat goofy.

Watched Event Horizon again, didn't seem half as scary as first time.  Sucks about the hell scenes lost with the porn stars, midgets, and amputees.

You know I saw it back in the 70s when it opened.

I recently rewatched it when my 11 year old daughter asked to see it.

Yeah that was pretty darn creepy.

The flying monkeys in Wizard of Oz scared me when I was a kid, I saw The Exorcist as a kid and it freaked me out.  Event Horizon was another messed up movie.  I'm definitely not a horror movie fan and I don't watch slasher flicks either, especially after working in EMS.

The Exorcist.  But it was a massive social event, too.  "Everybody" went to see it.  It was a date movie, and probably seen by a lot of kids too young for it.  High quality movie, very well done.  Yeah, it kept a lot of people awake.

I'll go a slightly different direction.

One of the scariest movies to me was The Crazies, along with the intro to the game The Last of Us.

The thought of having the government quarantine your town by force, and realizing there's almost nothing you can do about it, absolutely terrifies me. You just know the people will panic, which means the military/NG will panic, and a bloodbath is likely to ensue. Anyone caught trying to escape the perimeter will be shot on sight, and trying to fight your way out seems rather futile.

The worst part is how these movies or storylines always seem to end... Complete quarantine, followed by eradication. Sometimes men with rifles and flamethrowers, sometimes a fuel-air explosive. Regardless of the method, the final outcome always tends to be the same.

Those are the movies that frighten me the most.

I observed the Poltergeist when I was about six years old, has stayed with me since then. The Shining and Exorcist were just so-so.

What movie featured a plumber getting his fingers chopped up in a garbage disposal and suffocated by a pipe leaking a blackish substance while he crawled under it? That, was unforgettable in my adolescent brain...!

Event Horizon is great the first time, but dumb the second

I've never seen a movie that really scared me. By scare me I mean more than jump scares, I'm talking psychological terror.

Plenty of books and video games have though. My active imagination makes sure of it

Yeah, for pure feeling of dread / suspense / terror, it will have you on the edge of your seat the entire time.

Love me some exorcism movies though:

The Exorcist, the 'original'
The Excorcism of Emily Rose, focused on the trial of the priest
The Last Exorcism 1 & 2, non believing preacher finds his faith
The Vatican Tapes, not very good but the ending is a trip
The Posession, read about the true story of the dybbuk box
Deliver Us From Evil, NYPD Sgt Ralph Sarchie adaptation
The Reaping, not really exorcism, but close enough
The Rite, seminary student coming up
The Conjuring 1 & 2, all of the Ed and Lorraine Warren movies are decent
