the silence of the lambs really freaked me out, hannibal lecter's character as a whole was just so unsettling and the way he was able to just kind of get into your head was incredibly disturbing. also, that phone call at the end will forever haunt me.
Insidious is my all time favorite scary movie, but the movie The Hills Have Eyes just fucked me up. The sound of the poor father screaming as he is burned alive on a cross in front of his poor family messed me up. The Blair Witch Project scared the crap out of me as a kid. Saw messed me up bc I'd never seen such a horrible gore fest. The guy screaming through the credits left me shaking. I think its called You're Next, but there's a scene where they send the teenage daughter who's a track runner out to run super fast to get help but the moment she sets foot on the porch a strip of razor wire slips the poor daughter's throat and her family has to watch her die feeling helpless bc they couldn't do anything except watch her die. That scene made me almost pass out.
Event Horizon (1997). Is a great, underrated sci-fi/horror. But you need to watch it at night with the lights off on a decently sized tv with good sound. You gotta feel like you are in it. So no point watching it on your phone. But if you haven't seen it, and are looking for something worth checking out I'd definitely recommend it.
That blood orgy scene on the video records was quite disturbing. And that movie had some of the most visceral images of hell I've ever seen on film! O_O
Zathura. Not a very scary movie but what freaked me out was the fact when i was about 4-5 about the movie, that i hadnt watched yet. Then one night when i was 8 i finally watched the movie and god it was a freaky feeling.
The conjuring I can get through quite a few scary movies but that movie is a modern masterpiece, the tension during the bedroom scene. She can see it but the sibling can't. That scene freaked me out to the point I couldn't watch anymore. I went back and watched the rest of it a week or 2 later
I’m surprised that The Fourth Kind wasn’t on here. I always thought cosmic horror and cryptids were terrifying, so a movie about aliens and hypnosis absolutely scared the shite out of me. I’ve seen this movie multiple times and each time I debate turning it off
Never sat through the entire IT movie. Only saw bits and pieces over the years (prob less than 30 min total). Had nightmares on and off until the age of 10.
A man once said he tripped acid while watching the live action remake of the jungle book and it was so horrific that he can’t even watch clips of it now
I own a dvd copy of vacancy but have never seen it, I will probably watch it soon. As for 1408 it was a pretty good horror movie, although not that scary if paranormal stuff doesn’t scare you.
It’s not a film but… *that* sauropod in Primal. You have either watched the show and know exactly what I’m talking about or you haven’t in which case DONT just don’t! Idk what terrified me so much about that thing but I’ve never been scared of zombies nor dinosaurs so for that to scare me for longer than anything else was unusual. Still scared by it to this day and nothing else has been such a mainstay in my nightmares.
The Exorcist is the one and only movie that has ever down right scared me to death!!!! I slept with my Bible and would completely break down when it was time to go to bed!!!! Nothing has ever been more terrifying than that movie!!!!
@@sayetazonen6607 You never saw the original, or anywhere close to it. They pulled it out of theaters after the first two weeks for re-edits because there were people committing suicide over it. If you didn't see it on the West Coast the first two weeks, you didn't see the truly scary one.
As a major horror movie fan, here are some scary ones, As above so below 2014, Blair witch project 1999, the descent 2005, jeepers creepers 2001, misery 1990 (this one is more tense and disturbing than scary) and the amityville horror 1979 (not the 2005 remake) Edit: absolutely martyrs! It is disturbing as hell, and if you are squeamish in the slightest, don’t watch it. Edit 2: sinister. The lawn mower jump scare is great and all of the home films they watch are terrifying. Sadly the second one from 2015 sucked tho :(
Believe it or not, I actually LOVED horror movies as a kid. I got that way after my Dad used to prank me and my sisters with jumpscare videos. He used to also jumpscare us while wearing scary masks almost everytime we got home from school. I guess any fear I ever had was literally scared out of me as a kid. The only movies that even came CLOSE to scaring the piss outta me when I was young was "Signs" and "Final Destination".
The movie Juno came out when I was in high school and I could hardly watch it because the realistic possibility of becoming pregnant terrified me so much.
My older brother at around 15, convinced mom that he could go to a late showing of The Exorcist, and then walk home; about four miles of no street light neighborhood. At the time, it was the rage and scariest film to date. He was absolutely horrified and a trembling when he got home
I love how Hereditary gets mentioned a lot. That movie is super disturbing. I remember watching it back when horror movies didn't creep me out, and feeling on edge the second I saw the scene where the dead grandma was hanging out by a fire pit
Digging Up the Marrow. Found footage about a horror movie director trying to prove monsters exist in underground networks, only to find more than they expected
The Haunting of Connecticut. I lived in CT any my landlords kept telling me my attic space was haunted... I was terrified. I was also older, around 25.
My picks for most fricked up movies that will mess with you ( either the whole movie or parts of the movie ). 1. A Serbian Film ( whole movie, will mess with your head for days ). 2. Threads ( 1984 ) ( whole movie ). 3. Audition ( whole movie, particularly the man in bag scene ). 4. Suicide Circle ( whole movie ). 5. Hereditary ( everyone who has seen the movie knows what scene I’m thinking about ). 6. Midsommar ( several scenes ). 7. The Mist ( ending ). There are plenty of other movies that have scary moments in them and I would be typing forever if I included them all.
Couple years ago I busted out my Alien DVD and showed it to my nephew who had recently turned 18. I was afraid he was falling asleep, turns out he was scared, and let out a very effeminate yelp in the air vent jumpscare. He watched Aliens later, and he said it was therapeutic watching the Aliens getting shot. So I'm guessing thats it for him.
Nightmare on elm street as a pre-teen lol I was terrified to sleep for a week I love horror still but I am desensitized to it now :P scariest thing I watched recently was a actually a UA-cam EAS scenario video
Gonjiam haunted asylum!! I love watching horror movies late at night and I had to stop halfway to put disney song videos on UA-cam to try to cleanse my mind so I could sleep. Had my first nightmare in years that night.
Black christmas (2006), Green inferno, Martyrs, Wrong way, The ring (American ver.), I saw the devil, Silent lake, Pet Sematary 1 & 2, I spit on your grave 1 & 2
The Mist! Just not seeing the creatures that were in the mist that attacking the people sort of on screen and off screen was terrifying when I first saw it! I get goosebumps every time I watch it!
I won't give it away but the twist in Don't Breathe really made me sick to my stomach. I was enjoying the "you just messed with the wrong old man" plot and was really getting into the action scenes, especially in the basement when they are being chased in complete darkness, up until that point.
When I was 6 or 7, my dad showed me the first Jaws movie. Throughout the entire movie I was scared out of my mind and couldn't go swimming for about a week or 2. That movie is a classic and I still love it today
Midsommar was amazing. It’s so original in that Ari Aster manages to make you terrified of the most beautiful, bright, welcoming scenery. Also it has wonderful psychedelic experience representation
In high school my neighbors brother was a cameraman for horror movies. He showed us how they were done and how to make it scary. It ruined me for horror movies-even 40 years later.
It’s not even that scary looking back, but the Ring. I was more creeped/disturbed than scared. I watched it in a full movie theatre. There was some collective fear when that little girls crawls out of the TV
The original version of The Exorcist, before they pulled it from theaters the first two weeks because of people committing suicide. They edited it down so much it's more of a horror/comedy now.
I watched Child play as a kid 5 or 6, what made it worst for me was that my mother had a redheaded doll in the basement and i had nightmare for years. The Grudge, when she is in a hallway, making the light go off, walking toward the security camera and the security guard watching the monitor until she get in his face, i was paralyze with fear
I never really watched many scary movies but the one that came to mind was a movie called Meet Dave with Eddie Murphy. Not meant to be scary but I was little when I first saw it and I don't remember anything about it except that it terrified me. I couldn't even watch trailers for it for years (I had DVDs with Meet Dave previews on it).
The Exorcist Trilogy scared the ever loving shit out of me as a 12 year old. I had nightmares for weeks afterward, but it helped me develop a love of the horror genre. Coincidentally, I have watched them only once, and never again. Child: The Exorcist Trilogy Teen: The Ring | The Birds | And Then There Were None (watched the last two in English class, thanks teach!) | Orphan | 1408 | Rose Madder | The Mist Adult: The Visit | Us | Get Out Literally just finished watching the Funny Games remake.... yikes. That's all I'm gonna say.
(THIS IS JUST MY PERSONAL OPINION) "Hereditary" is pretty effed up and terrifying for elevated horror. "Sinister" has to be the creepiest film ever made, the ending was very upsetting to me. "The Descent" is a strong contender for one of the scariest straight horror films ever especially due to the claustrophobia and monsters. "The Conjuring" wins for best jump scare type of horror film. "Black Christmas" (1974) one of the scariest classic horror films, the ending made me sleep with a light on as I had an attic ceiling door in my closet. "Orphan" has the one of the best "won't-see-it-coming" twists for a horror film. "The Sixth Sense" and "The Others" beat that...just a little. "The Blair Witch Project" and "Paranormal Activity" are tied for scariest found footage horror film. "Night of the Living Dead" will ALWAYS be the best zombie horror film..."28 Days Later" being a close second. "Alien" best horror sci-fi. Close second to "Event Horizon". "Jaws" best shark horror film. "Scream" (1996) is my personal favorite scary movie cause of how fun yet terrifying it is (I love the rest of the series too, it's the most consistent horror film series =)
3:01 - that Zelda scene *was* creepy, I watched that movie later in life. It didn't hit me hard but imagining what that would have been like in the character's positions is just sad. Also, ik it's a movie and fake, but forcing your kid to take care of their ill sibling and subjecting them to trauma would be among the top of the parenting "no-no" list for me.
Eye for an Eye with Sally Field and Kiefer Sutherland. Sally Field’s young daughter gets brutally raped in the first ten minutes by Kiefer while Sally is listening on the phone, and it absolutely traumatized me. I watched it with my mom and I was WAY too young, but I was old enough to understand what was happening and I was screaming, crying, filled with horror at this little girl being raped in her own home while her mom can’t save her. To her credit, my mom had no idea what the movie was about and it was playing on NBC for goodness sake, so she probably thought it was a Law and Order thriller. She still feels such guilt over that. My dad came home from work that night to a hysterical child and a devastated mom. Poor dude had no clue what to do. He wanted to promise that it was just a movie, that it would never happen to me, but he couldn’t. That made it even worse.
When War of the Worlds came out, my brother and I had the great idea to watch it (I was like 8, he was 10 so we watched it during the day bc I was lowkey a chicken shit) well, turns out that movie would cause me to have nightmares, “daymares”, everything for like literal MONTHS. I’ve been tempted to rewatch it but I got a big ol healthy dose of anxiety and PTSD now so idk if that would be a good idea or not 💀💀 but yeah, shit was scary. THE SOUND alone still haunts me to this day and I’m 25 😭
There's an Australian horror called The Tunnel that freaked me out. Also, the movie Wake Wood isn't particularly scary imo, but the ending stuck with me.
Alright not so bad but...Anaconda. I was ENTIRELY too young and too scared of snakes to watch that. My mom said I didn't move a muscle or look away after the tree full of snakes fell on the boat for the rest of the movie lol. Child me was so scared. Adult me, The Conjuring. When Bathsheba appeared on the wardrobe, I can remember sitting in the theatre, seeing that, and not being able to move or breathe I was so scared.
"The Haunting-1963." You never see the ghosts. 'The Amityville Horror." I think that big "Pig-Demon" is scary. "Devil Dog, Hound of Hell." The "Barghest" or "Demon Dog" is scary, and Fluffy the "Crate Beast" in the original "Creepshow." Cartoons- "Watership Down." Kind of a spooky and melancholy cartoon.
Philosophy of A Knife seems to be one of the most grotesque movies of all time. It features what can only be described as scenes of profoundly agonizing toture. Here are the some descriptions of the most tame moments in the movie, as well as one of the most vile moments in the film: a) A woman is shot in the head and her brains, as well as blood, splatter in every conceivable direction. b) Another woman has her head decapitated with a sword. c) Various dead bodies on screen. They are all nude, but in a nonsexual manner. The point of seeing the corpses is to understand that thousands of innocent human beings were snuffed out by the monsters behind the experiments that took place at this unit. d) A man is forced into a gas chamber and the pressure inside the chamber is maximized. Ergo, his brains, blood vessels, etc become part of exterior. The movie is not extremely realistic, but its ascetic is relentlessly dark and embodies the definition of horror.
I think the movies that scare or resonate with you depend on your state of mind and if an idea gets into your head. I have re-watched some movies years latter and they did next to nothing for me the 2nd time. Like "darkness" when I saw it when it originally came out that un-describale thing in the darkness really got to me and after I had a couple of really jarring nightmares where there's something in the dark and you think your awake and it was a dream but you keep waking up several times still in the nightmare.. Till when you finally wake up really shaken wondering if your finally back in the real world.. Thoes dreams have really stayed with me years later..
One of the movies I remember scaring the absolute shit out of me, ever, was the remake of the Wolfman. However it wasn't the creature that scared me, it was was how fucking fast it moved. It was the beginning of the movie and in literally 3 seconds ripped two poor smucks in half while ripping the heart out of a third. That was when I learned that just cause the monster doesn't look scary, they can't scare the shit out of you by their movements. And this was someone who saw jaws when I was 5, I think I was like 12 when this was in theaters (I literally waited out in the theater lobby after this heart pounding scene) I don't think anything scared me as hard as that scene did. The closest I got was the chills running down my spine when I watched a horror movie when I was 6 (I think all I rememberwas I was really young). I forgot the name of it. Lady kissing a dead girl and a demon appearing in flickering lights while she was against the wall in here apartment were the more memorable scenes I remember watching. Anybody know the name of it?
Alien... never again. Never 1:29 see, someone agrees with me Edit: IT the 1990 version. I really wanna see the latest one. But Tim Curry as IT 😳 Oh snap I forgot about poltergeist 😭
"The Screwfly Solution", a short film in the Masters of Horror series. A manufactured, airborne virus is unleashed that makes all the men kill all the women. It's terrifying to me bc I can see how it could become reality (maybe not that particular situation). I mean, covid...
Im too frightened to watch horror movies, I cannot bare jumpscares and gore, but I like those movies that unnerve and fill with dread. Last horror I watched on accident, thought it was a space thriller but it was a full on horror. I think its called Life and its starring that Deadpool guy
The omen Excorist Beyond the door The origanal carrie The sentinel The tempter Prophecy Dawn of the dead Suspiria Eyeball Invasion of the body snatchers All of these movies are truly the worst of the worst
Slither. Alien parasites come to earth and slimy worm creatures force their way into your mouth, which in turn will turn you into a mutated fleshly monstrosities. Really freaky
I think ‘The Ring’! It does not show gore, but gets into your head, and that video is fucked up for no apparent reason, I had a CRT TV in my bedroom, and when I turned it off, it glowed in my dark bedroom! Slept with the light on for a week! Other than that ‘The Thing’ (Peter Watts wrote a version called ‘The Things’ from the creatures perspective) and ‘Event Horizon’
There is one jumpscare Indian movie 12' O Clock Nightmare I got freacked by the jump scares. Edit: I didn't even watch it fully because it got me so scared in the first few minutes
I am naturally a scaredy cat so anything with monsters and dark places scare the hell out of me, but her are my few: Nightmare On Elms Street 1 and 2 Jeppers Creepers Event Horizon The Thing It the original The Shining The Wishmaster 1&2 Chucky 1&2 Children of the Corn The Exorcist
Would definitely be chainsaw massacre. Saw it as a kid and nothing else ever scared me like that. Side note: I never understood how people find hereditary scary...I found it really boring and extremely obvious. Only thing that made me jump was the sound of a specific scene in a car -you know what I'm talking about- and that's only because of what had happen other wise i was pretty bored out of my mind. Also I'm so glad I didn't see any paranormal in this. Every time I see a video of people talking about horror movies there's always someone saying paranormal was so scary like they've never seen an actual horror movie before. :/
I was living in Louisiana, near Texas when I saw the original Chainsaw Massacre & it freaked me out bc I could legit see that possibility in the rural populations there
Dragonball Evolution. I was horrified how badly Hollywood butchered it.
Same
So many sleepless nights.
the silence of the lambs really freaked me out, hannibal lecter's character as a whole was just so unsettling and the way he was able to just kind of get into your head was incredibly disturbing. also, that phone call at the end will forever haunt me.

Ever heard of Don't Be Afraid Of The Dark? Yeah, I watched that once. NEVER again.
Listening to get ideas on what to watch
Also: Michael Jackson's Thriller was my first scare
Bro that video is low key scary now....
the cackle at the end scared me so bad in elementary school
I first remember watching this when i was 4. Terrifying! But I appreciate it now.
Same! His yellow eyes at the end… haunted my dreams!
Omg me too!

That scared the hell out of me.

I was eight when I saw that. It stayed with me for a long time, especially the bathroom scene. 😭
That blood orgy scene on the video records was quite disturbing. And that movie had some of the most visceral images of hell I've ever seen on film! O_O
Event Horizon desperately needs a good remake. Get all the original people involved and do all the stuff the director really wanted to do.

Boy do you need to see Midsommar
@@Sahbab11 oh dude that one messed me up too
The naked guy creep me out a little and that was it, Toni Collette did a great job.
A man once said he tripped acid while watching the live action remake of the jungle book and it was so horrific that he can’t even watch clips of it now
1408 was a good movie, scariest I've seen was Vacancy. Saw it during a fair and no one was inside but me. Best time ever.
I own a dvd copy of vacancy but have never seen it, I will probably watch it soon. As for 1408 it was a pretty good horror movie, although not that scary if paranormal stuff doesn’t scare you.

Yes this one for sure! The ending is especially disturbing.
Dead silence was so fucking good!
The Man With The XRay Eyes
"If thine eye offends thee, pluck it out"
Mother! is one of the most disturbing, perplexing, and unsettling movies I've ever seen.

Yeah gremlins was scary when I was a kid, now it is a fun holiday movie.
When I was 6 or 7, my dad showed me the first Jaws movie. Throughout the entire movie I was scared out of my mind and couldn't go swimming for about a week or 2. That movie is a classic and I still love it today
The Lights Out film based on the short film. Just Diana...I was pretty freaked out of the dark for a few days and I'm almost 30. The eyes...
Midsommar was amazing. It’s so original in that Ari Aster manages to make you terrified of the most beautiful, bright, welcoming scenery. Also it has wonderful psychedelic experience representation
I was quite disappointed in the hype vs. actual movie. I was so excited to see it...then I saw it.
Black christmas (2006), Green inferno, Martyrs, Wrong way, The ring (American ver.), I saw the devil, Silent lake, Pet Sematary 1 & 2
yeah, Martyrs hands down. i was 45 when i watched that and it was constantly in the back of my mind for months after watching it. and i love horror.
In high school my neighbors brother was a cameraman for horror movies. He showed us how they were done and how to make it scary. It ruined me for horror movies-even 40 years later.
It’s not even that scary looking back, but the Ring. I was more creeped/disturbed than scared. I watched it in a full movie theatre. There was some collective fear when that little girls crawls out of the TV
The first Sam Raimi Spider-Man. Granted, I either just turned 7, or would do so soon, and the Green Goblin was terrifying.
I was about 13 and Willam Defoe honestly creeped me out at that age
I remember The Nightmare documentary. I was about twelve and I couldn't sleep the night after I watched it.
The original version of The Exorcist, before they pulled it from theaters the first two weeks because of people committing suicide.

Paranormal Activity.
I was sweating so much that I had to get a new pillow because I drenched both sides with sweat.
The scariest movie I've ever seen is Cats 2019

Literally just finished watching the Funny Games remake.... yikes. That's all I'm gonna say.
Exorcist 1 = good
2=garbage
3= omg brad dourif
@@FirstNameLastName-ug7rp ok
1:23 Yeah!! That terrified me too.
(THIS IS JUST MY PERSONAL OPINION)
"Hereditary" is pretty effed up and terrifying for elevated horror.
"Sinister" has to be the creepiest film ever made, the ending was very upsetting to me.
"The Descent" is a strong contender for one of the scariest straight horror films ever especially due to the claustrophobia and monsters.
"The Conjuring" wins for best jump scare type of horror film.
"Black Christmas" (1974) one of the scariest classic horror films, the ending made me sleep with a light on as I had an attic ceiling door in my closet.
"Orphan" has the one of the best "won't-see-it-coming" twists for a horror film. "The Sixth Sense" and "The Others" beat that...just a little.
"The Blair Witch Project" and "Paranormal Activity" are tied for scariest found footage horror film.
"Night of the Living Dead" will ALWAYS be the best zombie horror film..."28 Days Later" being a close second.
"Alien" best horror sci-fi. Close second to "Event Horizon".
"Jaws" best shark horror film.
"Scream" (1996) is my personal favorite scary movie cause of how fun yet terrifying it is (I love the rest of the series too, it's the most consistent horror film series =)
3:01 - that Zelda scene *was* creepy, I watched that movie later in life. It didn't hit me hard but imagining what that would have been like in the character's positions is just sad. Also, ik it's a movie and fake, but forcing your kid to take care of their ill sibling and subjecting them to trauma would be among the top of the parenting "no-no" list for me.
Eye for an Eye with Sally Field and Kiefer Sutherland. Sally Field’s young daughter gets brutally raped in the first ten minutes by Kiefer while Sally is listening on the phone, and it absolutely traumatized me. I watched it with my mom and I was WAY too young, but I was old enough to understand what was happening and I was screaming, crying, filled with horror at this little girl being raped in her own home while her mom can’t save her. To her credit, my mom had no idea what the movie was about and it was playing on NBC for goodness sake, so she probably thought it was a Law and Order thriller. She still feels such guilt over that. My dad came home from work that night to a hysterical child and a devastated mom. Poor dude had no clue what to do. He wanted to promise that it was just a movie, that it would never happen to me, but he couldn’t. That made it even worse.
When War of the Worlds came out, my brother and I had the great idea to watch it (I was like 8, he was 10 so we watched it during the day bc I was lowkey a chicken shit) well, turns out that movie would cause me to have nightmares, “daymares”, everything for like literal MONTHS. I’ve been tempted to rewatch it but I got a big ol healthy dose of anxiety and PTSD now so idk if that would be a good idea or not 💀💀 but yeah, shit was scary. THE SOUND alone still haunts me to this day and I’m 25 😭
The mist.
There's an Australian horror called The Tunnel that freaked me out. Also, the movie Wake Wood isn't particularly scary imo, but the ending stuck with me.
The original Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
Masque of the Red Death
3:11 I LOVE HUSH it was one of the first scary movies that I really watched.
Yes I agree, hush fucked me up when it came out. I watched it on my phone in bed at night alone. It scared the crap out of me.
I saw a cheesy movie that made me keep away from reflecting surfaces for a couple of years "the prince of darkness"
Alright not so bad but...Anaconda. I was ENTIRELY too young and too scared of snakes to watch that. My mom said I didn't move a muscle or look away after the tree full of snakes fell on the boat for the rest of the movie lol. Child me was so scared. Adult me, The Conjuring. When Bathsheba appeared on the wardrobe, I can remember sitting in the theatre, seeing that, and not being able to move or breathe I was so scared.
"The Haunting-1963." You never see the ghosts. 'The Amityville Horror." I think that big "Pig-Demon" is scary. "Devil Dog, Hound of Hell." The "Barghest" or "Demon Dog" is scary, and Fluffy the "Crate Beast" in the original "Creepshow." Cartoons- "Watership Down." Kind of a spooky and melancholy cartoon.
Funny Games is disturbingly horrifying.
Philosophy of A Knife seems to be one of the most grotesque movies of all time. It features what can only be described as scenes of profoundly agonizing toture.
Here are the some descriptions of the most tame moments in the movie, as well as one of the most vile moments in the film:
a) A woman is shot in the head and her brains, as well as blood, splatter in every conceivable direction.
b) Another woman has her head decapitated with a sword.
c) Various dead bodies on screen. They are all nude, but in a nonsexual manner. The point of seeing the corpses is to understand that thousands of innocent human beings were snuffed out by the monsters behind the experiments that took place at this unit.
d) A man is forced into a gas chamber and the pressure inside the chamber is maximized. Ergo, his brains, blood vessels, etc become part of exterior.
The movie is not extremely realistic, but its ascetic is relentlessly dark and embodies the definition of horror.
I think the movies that scare or resonate with you depend on your state of mind and if an idea gets into your head. I have re-watched some movies years latter and they did next to nothing for me the 2nd time.
Like "darkness" when I saw it when it originally came out that un-describale thing in the darkness really got to me and after I had a couple of really jarring nightmares where there's something in the dark and you think your awake and it was a dream but you keep waking up several times still in the nightmare.. Till when you finally wake up really shaken wondering if your finally back in the real world.. Thoes dreams have really stayed with me years later..
One of the movies I remember scaring the absolute shit out of me, ever, was the remake of the Wolfman. However it wasn't the creature that scared me, it was was how fucking fast it moved. It was the beginning of the movie and in literally 3 seconds ripped two poor smucks in half while ripping the heart out of a third. That was when I learned that just cause the monster doesn't look scary, they can't scare the shit out of you by their movements. And this was someone who saw jaws when I was 5, I think I was like 12 when this was in theaters (I literally waited out in the theater lobby after this heart pounding scene) I don't think anything scared me as hard as that scene did. The closest I got was the chills running down my spine when I watched a horror movie when I was 6 (I think all I rememberwas I was really young). I forgot the name of it. Lady kissing a dead girl and a demon appearing in flickering lights while she was against the wall in here apartment were the more memorable scenes I remember watching. Anybody know the name of it?
The Exorcist (original)
My movie was... Pretty terrifying
Mirrors had me not looking in mirrors for a while and if I did look into one I paid very close attention
Alien... never again. Never 1:29 see, someone agrees with me
Edit: IT the 1990 version. I really wanna see the latest one. But Tim Curry as IT 😳
Oh snap I forgot about poltergeist 😭
Alien is timeless for a reason 🤷♂️
"The Screwfly Solution", a short film in the Masters of Horror series. A manufactured, airborne virus is unleashed that makes all the men kill all the women. It's terrifying to me bc I can see how it could become reality (maybe not that particular situation). I mean, covid...
Im too frightened to watch horror movies, I cannot bare jumpscares and gore, but I like those movies that unnerve and fill with dread. Last horror I watched on accident, thought it was a space thriller but it was a full on horror. I think its called Life and its starring that Deadpool guy
Wow I can't believe nobody brought up hills have eyes
The omen
Excorist
Beyond the door
The origanal carrie
The sentinel
The tempter
Prophecy
Dawn of the dead
Suspiria
Eyeball
Invasion of the body snatchers
All of these movies are truly the worst of the worst
Slither. Alien parasites come to earth and slimy worm creatures force their way into your mouth, which in turn will turn you into a mutated fleshly monstrosities. Really freaky
Dark Skies. Horrifying.
The first Wrong turn. That fucked me up
I think ‘The Ring’! It does not show gore, but gets into your head, and that video is fucked up for no apparent reason, I had a CRT TV in my bedroom, and when I turned it off, it glowed in my dark bedroom! Slept with the light on for a week! Other than that ‘The Thing’ (Peter Watts wrote a version called ‘The Things’ from the creatures perspective) and ‘Event Horizon’
There is one jumpscare Indian movie 12' O Clock Nightmare I got freacked by the jump scares.
Edit: I didn't even watch it fully because it got me so scared in the first few minutes
I am naturally a scaredy cat so anything with monsters and dark places scare the hell out of me, but her are my few:
Nightmare On Elms Street 1 and 2
Jeppers Creepers
Event Horizon
The Thing
It the original
The Shining
The Wishmaster 1&2
Chucky 1&2
Children of the Corn
The Exorcist
not a horror movie or even a horror show but Silence in the Library and Forest of the Dead from Doctor who fucked me up as a kid
Final Destination... Fuck going on a plane.
A Serbian film, not scary, but fucked me up the first time viewing of it on dvd. Now I can stomach it without getting sick
you seen poughkeepsie tapes shit makes serbian film look like an episode of friends
@@maxshafran4799 I think I have, though can't remember much since I've seen it a long time ago
@@dr.spiral9416 fucked me up so bad
Well sinister made have have sleepless nights.
The AVGN Polybius episode.
Schindler’s List.
Schindler's Fist 👊
*MY LIFE.*
The Grudge and Dead Silence.
Any movie with Jaden Smith. His acting is horrible.
Hahaha
I can't believe none said Mamma, Must not have seen it that's all I have to say. Lol
I have Got to say it was, Mamma
That shit was off the charts!
The Decent and and the Cave were both great, but doesn't hold up
It was like Lights Out on steroids!
Would definitely be chainsaw massacre. Saw it as a kid and nothing else ever scared me like that. Side note: I never understood how people find hereditary scary...I found it really boring and extremely obvious. Only thing that made me jump was the sound of a specific scene in a car -you know what I'm talking about- and that's only because of what had happen other wise i was pretty bored out of my mind. Also I'm so glad I didn't see any paranormal in this. Every time I see a video of people talking about horror movies there's always someone saying paranormal was so scary like they've never seen an actual horror movie before. :/
I was living in Louisiana, near Texas when I saw the original Chainsaw Massacre & it freaked me out bc I could legit see that possibility in the rural populations there
Chainsaw massacre original was another. That and the first one were ones seen as like 7 or 8
Saw ‘The Exorcist at 17, back in the 80s, after watching Zombie films and the like, it really was not scary!
About Schmidt...Kathy Bates gets naked. Nothing is scary after seeing that.
