Horror movies that are actually scary

Post Reply New Topic

Halloween is almost upon us and I am in the mood to scare myself senseless. I want to know which horror movies are best for watching alone in the middle of the night that will cause me to have nightmares and want to sleep with the lights on. Thanks in advance!

I enjoyed "1408".

I'll never understand why anyone would want to scare themselves. it's like your attacking yourself, emotionally at least.
and it can have very serious effects on a person, such lack of sleep, due to being too scared from whatever horror film you watched,.
horror movies made me unable to sleep for days, and cuased very severe nightmares.
why would anyone want to have nightmares? it's not good for your health. if you watch too many horror films or just one extremly scary one, good luck, you'll regret it when you can't sleep, and when your too scared to turn the lights off.

I know, becuase of several occasion where I watch a horror film just so my dad didn't have to watch it by himself.
too this day I still get nightmares from from that alien ride in disney land, which was basicly forceing me into a "real" horror film.
it made me unable to go in the bathroom alone, without thinking the alien was going to get me...

so, like I said its bad for your health. not just emotional health, but sometimes being "scared senseless" can effect you physicly.

Hmm, horror movies? Honestly the one that has scared me the most was watching Mars Attacks when I was young, and not really seen any horror movies.

I have watched a few, I have found a few interesting Asian films, though I doubt I could repeat their names, I know there was this one where a girl was with her twin and was haveing to deal with her crazy step mother, I know turned the volume down and stuff. Personally I hate jump scares, they are just cheap so more psychological is good, The Blair Witch Project was a good one I only watched recently.

My favourite horror probably comes from the anime series Ghost Hunt, just watching the trailer gives me some chills, a good watch at night.

The Shining is good for psychological horror.

Halloween is a great Slasher film that has very little blood and plenty of thrills and chills.

Pet Sematary is another horror movie everyone should watch. I never watched the whole movie but from what I saw it was a great one. Based on a novel by Stephen King (1983)...

The news is scarey enough.

My wife and I aren't much into scary movies, but we went to Haunted World last year and it scared the crap out of her. It's just a few miles past Star road on Chinden. It can take a couple hours to go through it all.

10 Rillington Place.

Not a Horror by any stretch of the imagination, but based on a true story, and creepy as f**k.

If any place of 'news' should scare you, it's LiveLeak.

Not for the faint of heart.

There are just some things that I will never see, such as a politician that doesn't lie, a McDonalds product that tastes good, or a Michael Bay movie with an intelligent plot. A horror movie that actually scares me is right up there with those.

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 74
Rosemary's Baby
The Exorcist

Alien
The Shining
The Thing 82

Hellraiser
Candyman

I remember watching the Blair Witch Project alone one night and it was the first time I had been spooked by a film for years. I went to bed unnerved about the noises from the forest.
