The most terrifying thing you've ever watched (or read)?

Post Reply New Topic

Stephen King's Rose Red, a television miniseries that aired on NBC (I think) about ten years ago, freaked me out.

Being very young and seeing a program on tv explaining that its very likely for an asteroid to hit the earth in our lifetime and potentially destroy us all... was overwhelmed with the feeling of impending doom for weeks to come...

I love horror films - The Thing, Nightmare on El Street series, Alien Series, Stephen Kings "IT" BUG is a great film as well very strange and you never quite know what is going on and such but still very good - Love Battle Royale 1 and 2 as well, quite old released in like the 80s but very good (Its Japanese)

I watched American Psycho last night. Thank you Christian Bale for forever ruining Huey Lewis and the News for me. I will never be able to listen to "It's Hip to be Square" again without thinking about some guy getting axed to death.

It wasn't really scary, but the fact that it's the most plausible horror I've seen does make it a little creepy. I mean, it IS likely that somewhere in the world, there is a seemingly boring business man who has murderous dreams so vivid that he himself thinks it's real. That's more realistic than the usual things I watch, which mostly revolve around fantasy and supernatural. So yeah, not scary, but still I really actually liked it. Still don't exactly understand if anyone actually died or not, but whatever.

I like this story.

I agree with the pent up tension in certain movies like the The Thing. I can't think of any other examples off the top of my head.
When I saw Invasion of the Body Snatchers as a kid, the 70's version I believe, both the fear of going to sleep and the shriek when you're discovered
after hiding amongst the alien body snatchers is pretty unsettling I thought. The mutants in the recent Hills have Eyes were creepy looking enough to make me check behind me when hiking.

I've always been a big horror fan since I was a little kid, whether it's fiction, TV, or movies, though I'm hardly immune to getting scared.
As a kid, the old Lon Chaney Jr. Wolfman movies scared me to death. The idea of a half bestial, half human creature, covered with fur was just so terrifying to me. I used to lay awake at night after I went to bed, staring into the darkness, looking for a fur covered Lon Chaney Jr. coming to get me. But guess what, I still watched werewolf movies. Another move that scared me was a made for TV movie called Moon Of The Wolf, And you know something? I bought the movie on DVD a few years ago around Halloween - and I woke up from a nightmare that night after watching it. That little kid I used to be, it seems, is still alive and well somewhere inside me.
But the movie that scared the liver out of me - and still has power over me - was a 1970's horror movie called Prophecy. If you're not familiar with the movie, the monster, mutated bear was the basis of Man-Bear-Pig in the Imagination land episodes of South Park. Even today, thoughts of that hideously ugly, slavering mutant, with raw, mottled flesh where it wasn't covered with fur still give me the chills. You can imagine, I lost a lot of sleep after seeing that movie when I was a kid. Even today, that thing's appeared in my nightmares, even after all these years. When my wife and I had watched the movie together years later, I saw the mutant bear was nothing more than just a guy in a rubber suit, when It wasn't a line puppet. Still, that proved to be inadequate from exorcising the monster from my memories, because there, it's alive and of flesh and blood!
