Well, after much consideration I am going to cast my decision. "The Sound of Music". It's pretty terrifying stuff.
Scared the hell out of me as a kid, and still does today.
Oh Man....Ditto.....I just got a chill down my spine.
omg that movie scared me so bad!
My favorite those is the original Halloween
It should've scared you...Victor Salva directed it. His real life crimes are far scarier than the movie.
Didn't he molest the kid in that movie.
Yup. 6th grade boy. Salva went to jail for 3 years. It was all over the news right around the time "Powder" and "Jeepers Creepers" came out. Oprah Winfrey even had the kid on the air (who was then 20) to tell what happened.
I think it's becoming clear to me that I have a very different definition of horror movies than many of the posters in this thread. Slasher and gore-for-its-own-sake movies have never scared me. Sure, there are usually some decent jump scenes, but aside from those, the only thing these movies make me want to do is hurl from some of the more graphic gore. And while my own puke might not be the most pleasant thing to think about, it doesn't really scare me.
I agree with those who find the unseen to be much more sinister and frightening than gore splattered across the screen.
So, it shouldn't surprise anyone that my favorite horror film is one where the beasties are never seen, but they are still the stuff of nightmares...
The Haunting (the terrifying original, not the goofy remake) ranks as #1 for me, with The Legend of Hell House a close second.
I have to agree with RoboDad... I want a horror movie to be scary, and if it makes me look over my shoulder or get up in the night every time I here a noise, then it has accomplished it's job as a horror movie! Therefore, the "scariest" (although I'm not sure I would say my favorites) movies are the original "The Haunting" and yes, "Blair Witch Project". If you watch either of these films alone, in the dark at night, and don't get a little nervous and paranoid and scared, then I don't think any movie will do it for you!
Blair Witch was ruined for me by the hype. I saw it the first day it was out in theatres and was laughing more than being scared.
