Some more (some of which I love anyway or because of)

The Butterfly Effect
Kill Bill Vol. 1
Running Scared
Saving Private Ryan
Se7en
Shaun of the Dead (super funny? Yes, but to me it the last half hour it's also way scarier than either version of Dawn of the Dead)
Silent Hill
TekkonKinkreet (not a scary movie, but an incredibly emotional one)
Unleashed (ditto)

Actually, out of those the only ones I don't love are Kill Bill and Saving Private Ryan (which I haven't seen all of). And I gotta agree about the There's Something About Mary's zipper scene...

Many more, too.

Probably the movie that scared me most when I was little was the original The Blob. Another horrifying monster, can go through crack under doors, largely invulnerable, and once it gets on you get are digested alive. :!: I spent many a night in bed in the dark terrified, looking around the room and repeatedly wondering, "Did that just move?"8O


Somebody else found "The Blob" scary? Awesome! My brothers used to tease me about that movie. And for years, I wouldn't eat red jello, because my brothers told me it would turn into the blob. 8O Other movies that leave an unpleasant, lasting impression, are:

Silent Hill
The Ring
The Exorcist (early version)
The Shining

Remember the theme song?

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aysVKkoStBk[/youtube]Not exactly a horror-inspiring tune.

(Set to clips from Dr. Who by some clearly insane person.)

Good fortune,

- Icarus did wonder about the apparent seeds in the blob...

I couldn't see a tongue without thinking about the Blob for the longest time! :P

I remember the scene where the priest has a bit of leftover blob in a jar. I remember thinking how it looked like a tongue. :lol:

Edit: Oldie but goodie. :lol:

"Fire in the Sky" scared the s**t out of me. The experiments the aliens did on that guy... 8O

Aside from that I can't watch many horror movies because I'm bound to think about them a lot afterwards and have nightmares for weeks or even months.

"Jacob's Ladder" was pretty disturbing too, but in an interesting way.

I get freaked out by movies involving eyes popping out or eyes being stabbed. I can't watch those.

I wasn't bothered by "The Exorcist" or "The Shining" two movies people find very scary. I don't though, I think they're awesome.

For some reason, one of the scenes in "The Exorcist" that I found most disturbing, was when Regan came downstairs, backwards like a spider... 8O That image lasts and lasts.

The spiderwalk scene is amazing - and even more amazing for having been cut from the original version of the movie.
