Honestly. Something about the Joker scares me shitless. You know Batman is going to get him, but he’s just so out of control and unrestrained. Terrifyingly awesome. That and that damn violin sound that you don’t hear but afterwards realize it was what was causing the uneasiness you were feeling throughout the scene. it starts at 2:15, right as things start going up shit creek.
I was 5 my dad’s friend had an old friend with a bunch of old reel to reel films, his friend was a demented fuck I wanted to watch Star Wars he put on Night of the Living Dead it to this day scares me
When I was a kid, I saw The Dark Crystal in the theater with my dad. I cried and sat backwards in the seat so I didn’t have to see. The wierd thing is that the “good guy” main characters freaked me out way more than the bad bird dudes. That movie still gives me the creeps.
As an adult, Sixth Sense freaked me out for some reason. Slasher movies don’t get to me, but good suspense does.
Prince of Darkness - Carpenter’s eerie synth music, plus the apocalyptic feel, and the “broadcast from the future as part of the same dream they all kept having” - plus isolated church with satan in the fucking basement waiting to enter our world. Creeped the fuck out of me when I saw this in the movies. I was about 19…
The Exorcist - obvious reasons.
Event Horizon - the footage they find of the original crew in hell tearing each other apart - so fucking creepy.
Ill just say when I started in the field you NEVER heard of MRSA (staff infection). Look where that is now, we stay a step ahead of the bugs. Barely.[/quote]
Mrs. (Dr.) Jewbacca showers the second she gets home from the hospital. Refuses to touch our child until after.
I cut myself rather badly in the yard 6 months ago — she stitched me up on the backyard patio table — doesn’t want us anywhere near the hospital, let alone the ER.
It isn’t scary in the “girly scream AAAAaaaaahhhhh!” sort of way. It is based loosely on the Stanford Prison Experiment. What scares me is the ease with which normally good people can go bad when put in the right (wrong) situation.

I was scared shitless by Jaws. I watched it with my dad when I was about 7 or 8. The next day he took us all to the beach. That’s a nice little window into my childhood.[/quote]
great movie. But the bad thing about that movie is what happened after. It caused so many Great white sharks to be slaughtered cause of that movie. which is a downright sin. to kill such ancient beautiful beings.
Insidious was rather dumb. the main villain looks exactly like Darth Maul, lol.

You think so? I thought it offered a unique twist to the typical “possessed child” theme so prevalent in horror films.
SPOILER
What was really unsettling about the film was the desperation of the ghosts - particularly the old woman - to live again. There are a few different theories about the film, but they all involve the old woman meticulously planning her possession over many decades, waiting patiently for her chance to live again. The idea that there could be a realm where you float around in eternity in suspended animation - neither living nor truly dead - frightens me.

My first thought upon seeing the villain was, “Darth Maul.” It was a good movie, I’d say. Just not quite the epic masterpiece a lot of people made it out to be (to me).
