i saw "Jaws" in the theater, & i have never since swam in the ocean.
my wife won't take a shower if she's the only person in the house, because of "Psycho".
for a long time now books & art & movies & even music, of the horrific sort, have merely been a pleasurable taste, but there's one book i read not long ago which did scare the bejeezus out of me. it's called "The Long Emergency."...

I just watched a documentary on netflix: Albert Fish: In Sin He Found Salvation. It was one of the most disturbing things I have ever seen.

| when i was a kid dracula scarred(i didnt spell scared wrong) me. i suggested to myself that vampire could be anywhere- even in my closet. id get my sisters to close the door before i went to bed just in case. i couldnt sleep with it open until my teen years. the watcher in the woods gave me the creeps when i was 12 and the revelation(book) was the only horror novel to have creeped me out. i just laugh at horror films now. such a shame, |

I challenge you to watch "Tales from the crypt" episode "Death of Some Salesmen" and tell me tim curry is less scarey as a woman than he is a horrible spider monster who eats children. That. Is. Horrific.

Same here. I am rarely bothered by any monster, but anything that is just a shapeless, mindless eating machine that can't really be reasoned with is terrifying to me. It just is unnerving watching it digest people and seeing the blood of their bodies oozing into it's shimmery green goo.

To be sure, I found the remake to be disturbing, too.

George Osborne doing the Spending Review.
Also, I thought Event Horizon was quite scary the first time I watched it, although now it just seems a bit daft.
And I was terrified by the Wizard of Oz when I was 5. |

So remember my little problem finding a scary movie. Thank you Insidious. I was terrified to death, and laughing the whole time. The bad guy is for seriously the love child of Freddy Krueger, internet meme Slender man and Darth Maul, comes with a cute soundtrack and is somehow terrifying, but that one ghost at the end with that creep smile? Sheeesh!

Probably the most terrifying thing I've ever watched was one of the Happy Tree Friends videos on Youtube. Don't let the title fool you! the characters may seem cute and cuddly, but there is a LOT of gruesome violence (e.g., flesh being ripped off a character's face, exposing the skull) on there. It's a cartoon, but it's DEFINITELY not for kids!

"The Shining"-- the film, NOT the book. Scariest thing I've ever seen, I can't believe my parents let me watch it while I was in seventh grade!
Stephen King didn't like the Kubrick movie and this led to a TV version in 1997. But I think the Kubrick film was far superior to the book, which was much darker and scarier.
Another very scary movie is "2001: A Space Odyssey," also by Kubrick. Amazingly it is rated G.
