Default What's the scariest movie you can think of?

Todays movie critters seem to rely more on jump scares than actually being scary.

I miss Rod Serling. He knew how to write scary shit.

I haven't seen The Exorcist in many years but the first time I saw it at the drive-in it was scary AF.

My older cousins took me to Jaws, as well as a Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hide type movie, when I was around 10. I didn't go near water, or sleep soundly, for a few weeks afterwords.

Same here - haven't seen in years but recall a scene in the girl's bedroom where everyone left except her. The door closes and the camera just stays on the door with breathing noises coming from behind. Thought it was very effective. Remember I wanted that scene over right away.

That said, the set up at the theater was pretty silly. There were nurses in the lobby ready to attend to those "overcome" by fear. Warning signs, etc.

Different perspective, I suppose, but I was stoned when I saw The Exorcist and me and my buddies laughed hysterically all the way through it.

Maybe you went to the wrong screen and saw Walt Disney's "Robin Hood" thinking it was "The Exorcist."

To me, it's what you don't see that I find the scariest. I guess that's why I love a good ghost movie. If they can build the suspense till the hair on the back of my neck is standing up, and I'm curled up like a little girl, then they have succeeded.

I think the movie that scared me the most was a crappy B-rated Spanish movie that was made in 1964. The movie probably had no more than a $500 dollar budget and less than 3 minutes total in special effects time, and the english dub was so-so. I was in my very early teens, if that old, when I saw it on some "fright-night" theater on a UHF channel.

The name of the movie was "The Sound of Horror". Having such a skimpy budget, they made the monster an invisible dinosaur. The actors could hear it screach in the distance, and when it was close, they could hear it breathing. Like right next to them. You could see where it was walking by the foot prints it was making on the ground in obviuos stop-motion photography. And two or three times you got a double-exposure glimpse that they made with a model dino. And the glimpse would be just enough to make out fangs, eyes, and claws. In the movie, the actors poke it a couple times; blood flows out of thin air and with the knives and axes that were stuck in it floating in the air...comming at them. And when a poor bastard would get attacked, you saw him get shredded, but didn't see the critter.

It's on you tube, about 90 minutes long, and in not-so-great resolution and the acting is crappy. But it was an excellent example of "less is more" and really on how to make the most out of the resources that you've got.

I would love to see that movie remade with more budget, but stay on theme.

Not really scary, but I always liked the remake of The Fly with Jeff Goldblum and Gina Davis...

Starts out with kind of a Romantic Comedy vibe, and then goes completely South.

For realistic scary, not monster stuff, The opening sequence of Private Ryan is scary as ****. Das Boot is also scary IMO...really nails the clausterphobia.
