Session 7 was ok. David Carrusso is the lead. It’s really interesting to me to see what different people find scary. I personally thought the two Rob Zombie flicks, In the mouth of madness and High tension fucking sucked. In fact, I count High tension as one of the 5 worst movies I’ve ever seen. I thought the premise of Event Horizon was pretty good. [/quote]
I’m going to have to agree with you on the two Rob Zombie flicks if you are talking about House of 1000 Corpses and Devil’s Rejects but I did enjoy his remake of Halloween.
Most of my favorites have already been mentioned-another vote for Jacob’s Ladder.
Three more: The original versions of The Haunting, Invasion of the Body Snatchers, and Carnival of Souls. All of those scared the crap out of me when my brother and I snuck out of bed to watch them at midnight.
I’ve never been scared by any of the film versions of Stephen King stories, but his early books are very, very creepy.
One of his best is a short story called Gramma, about a little boy who’s left alone with his peculiar gramma when she’s about to die.
i know most people dont enjoy post 2000 era movies very much, but the remake of the ammity ville horror with ryan reynolds i thought was pretty good.
especially the part when he sticks his finger in the girls head!!!
other great movies:
CANDYMAN- all of them are great.
Psycho
the grudge- was good at the time.
the haunting or the house on haunted hill…whichever one is based in the insane asylium

The mist. not too gory. I used to listen to the book on tape all the time. They replicated the book exactly…except the ending, but the movie ending is actually better…just a great movie.[/quote]
Seriously? I watched it with a few friends, we LAUGHED through the whole movie, it was one of the funniest movies ive ever seen, especially because it was not meant to be funny.

I thought it was good and creepy!! One that made me laugh was Chupacabra. For scenes where the monster attacks it looks as if they take a stuffed toy and throw it across the room. Now that movie makes me laugh.

It was good because it was hilarious, but thats just how we saw it. The ending was the best, where he kills everyone and finds out they save him, we couldnt stop laughing at that for days!
I agree Dawn of the Dead is a good remake. Just don’t watch Land of the Dead (not good) or Return of the Dead, Rave to the Grave (So God awful it’s almost funny).
I have to agree with Carpenter’s The Thing. Huge fan of that flick. It is gory, but far FAR from JUST gory. The claustrophobic psychological tension has not been bested to this day.
Session 9 had a creep factor that was pretty well done.
Try Perfect Blue. A Japanese anime piece that will dispel any notions that a [quote]“cartoon”[/quote] cannot take you on a psychopathic mind bending rollercoaster trip.
The scene in John Carpenter’s The Thing when they are all tied together and the monster starts to mutate, … … that scared me.
Also the scene in the original Halloween where she is running trying to open the door to the house and Michael is just walking towards her as if he is sooooo confident that he will catch and kill her.
The Changeling & Deep Red well done.I watched these as a lid and it still freaks me out when i think of them.
Some of my favourites.
Amitiville 2. Something just freaky about a spirit making u go a kill your entire family with a shotgun.
The Ring 1. Ring 2 is one of the worst movies ever made
The Grudge. Grudge 2 is also pathetic
Stir of echos.very little gore if any but gave me chill bumps.
28 days later.People will say dawn of the dead remake was better but 28 days later was more scary.Dawn of the dead was more comedy than scary(great movie though)
Blair witch. This may get me flamed to the max but the first time i watched it (before i knew it was fake) scared the shit out of me.I got scared going to work at 5:30am in pitch black hahaha this was when i was 21
Exorcist. When the demon crawls down the stairs backwards all hunched over is the scariest scene ive seen in a horror movie.

The scene in the Blair Witch where they are in the tent and something is attacking the tent. You can see the imprint of the hands… that wigged me out. And the last scene with the guy standing in the basement facing the wall. But really, see… I would have left the guy and took off running. I know scary movie rules

That movie also scared the crap out of me. I saw it before I knew it was fake too. The way it ended? Oh man…
