What's your favorite scary movie?

[rocklobster]

To tie into Halloween, let’s talk about our favorite scary movies. Mine would be the Scream trilogy.

 

[Della]

Well, this will date me (although I saw it on TV as a girl not in the theaters), “Invasion of the Body Snatchers.” The original 1950’s version, of course. Talk about creepy! Modern films really can’t compare.

I can’t watch the Scream movies with a straight face any more after the Scary Movie series ripped them off.

I do like early Peter Jackson - Bad Taste or Brain Dead, they’re classics

I also love The Sixth Sense and similar - no special effects or blood or gore but genuinely spookifying nonetheless.

Halloween. the original from 1978. (when Michael steps out and then disappears behind the hedges… that makes me smile everytime)

the Exorcist.

the original Frankenstein.

Blair Witch…hands down. Leaves so much to one’s imagination, and obviously my imagination is scary! It was so scary to me, I woke my husband up everytime I needed to use the bathroom in the middle of the night, to walk with me…and keep the light on. SCARY STUFF!!! :yup:

 

[Trelow]

Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory - 1971

Only that one scene obviously

Loved the Johnny Depp version too though.

To tie into Halloween, let’s talk about our favorite scary movies. Mine would be the Scream trilogy.

Has to be Carrie 1976 version, with Sissie Spacek and Piper Laurie. On the edge of my seat!

Also, Christine, the one about the car.

Halloween. the original from 1978. (when Michael steps out and then disappears behind the hedges… that makes me smile everytime).

Well, thanks alot, now YOU can just rock me to sleep tonight!

It took YEARS for me to be able to walk past the hedge down the street from where I lived growing up after I saw that movie. Even now, six-foot-tall hedges make me cross the street (good thing we left the city five years ago.) My sister still laughs at me… “What was so scary about THAT scene? He wasn’t even there!”

Well, in my mind, he’s STILL there! shudder

Hands down, that’s the scariest movie ever!

I like…House

It’s pretty funny, too.

The video of my wedding. Just kidding.

I cant watch the Ring by myself. Exorcist was hard to watch. Don’t think I ever sat through the whole movie.

 

[Trelow]

The video of my wedding. Just kidding.

I accidentally recorded over both copies of our wedding.

My sisters have made dozens of copies of their wedding videos to avoid just such problems.
