Most scared you've ever been watching a film.

[Freddie Goodwin.]

Epic, epic film, but lacks the intensity and build up of The Shining, for me. Haven't seen Wolf Creek. WE R NEEDS THE FOOTAGE

Wol Creek is a nasty peice of scary stuff. It's not so much one clip that shocks, it's the thinking that something will turn up to save them but no. What he finally plans for the girl is quite awful, although you don't see or know if he actually does.

Ringu (f*** the shit remake). I actually got a chill up my spine - I thought it was just a saying.

 

[pottert]

I don't like horror films so I don't watch them.but I love Kelly brook so I watched piranha big mistake.I have never been more jumpy in all my life.My misses who is scared of moths just sat there while I was crapping my self

 

[¤DãŃn¥ §êãGüLL¤]

The bit in the opening of the Grudge (face in the attic), I'd just sat down in the cinema and my arse literally came off the seat and I sent popcorn flying everywhere. Better still was the rest of the theatre being in stitches at my girly scream

It's sickening cos it's a true story and people really go missing in the outback and are never found. I spent weeks in the outback, I'm just glad I didn't bump into any murderers.

Halloween. Saw it first time on Halloween night when living in Whalley Range next door to a brothel during the Yorkshire Ripper years.

 

[W.C.]

i went to see the Japanese 'Ring' at the duke of yorks and literally knew nothing about it. Infact I'm not sure why I went but anyway, thought the film had ended when they got her skeleton out of the well and was ready to go, but then the next scene.....Monday, and that TV moment. Genuinely creeped out by it.

 

[W.C.]

That twilight zone one is a good call too. I saw the original with William Shatner when I was bored out of my head at friend's of parent's house one night. Must have been about 8. Terrifying.

 

[Peteinblack]

The Omen ('When the Jews return to Zion, and a comet fills the sky, and the Holy Roman Empire rises, then you and I must die.').

Also, the scene in 'Jaws, when they investigate an empty boat. The diver sees a hole in the bottom of the boat, and when he goes closer, what remains of the boat-man's shark-chewed face - with hanging eyeball - floats out of the hole into the diver's face. I think everyeone in the cinema virtually sh*t themselves at that moment. What made it more shocking was that everyone was expecting the shark to appear, so this was totally unexpected. I still shudder when I recall it.

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

Thread closed. Still never seen anything that comes close in the decades since I first saw Salem's Lot.

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

The ring when she crawled out the tv.....

Surely a candidate for THE most boring film ever committed to celluloid. (the Japanese original I mean)

Yep. I think because it was a 12 certificate - and about sharks - that loads of quite young kids went to see it. EEEEEK!

 

[xenophon]

Still one of my favourites, and I can recall watching this for the first time when I was 12, on a large screen with surround sound, and literally being paralysed with fear for a good 10 minutes after this scene in particular:



Can anyone beat that?

That was a scene for knocking one out when I was a kid

 

[Knightsworld]

God, that brings back memories, I was just a youngster when I first saw Salems Lot, scared the living shit out of me. I had nightmares about "The Master" for ages.

 

[rcf0712]

Asylum when I was 12 or 13, couldn't sleep for ages and still had nightmares about that feckin' breathing brown paper covered head years later...... If I saw it now I'd probably wonder what the fuss was all about.

 

[TWOCHOICEStom]

28 days later for me. Shit me pants so I did.

 

[Hatterlovesbrighton]

The shining by a country mile. Don't really find zombie movies that scary.

 

[Norman Potting]

When i first saw the bit on The Others where the 2 kids are in the cupboard and the woman opens the door it really made jump. Not so much now i know its coming

Good film, good plot and scary without any gore or nastiness (see also the original "Stepford Wives") - I actually ended up feeling sorry for the mum and children at the clever ending. The only film to feature Nicole Kidman, a future Dr Who and Eric Sykes.

[Barrow Boy]

My all time favourite chiller.




And this John Carpenter classic.
