I voted for Nightmare on Elm Street because collectively, those movies have scared me more than any others; Saw is my favorite movie on the list!

There's just something about Freddy, and the fact that he can kill you while you're sleeping and in a nightmare...
Also, the song the little girls sing: "one, two, Freddy's coming for you..." STILL freaks me out to this day.

Siberian Tiger...I see that you also voted for Exorcist III. Do you know the scene I was talking about? The one in the hallway where you see the nurse walk by and then you see the person with the big hedge clippers walking right behind her?
Still freaks me out.(Doesn't help that that ill-fated nurse is also named Amy!)

That irry music they played during that scene gave me goose bumps.
The part where the priest fights Satan was pretty irry too.

well i have seen every movie on the list but i do love creepshow the most.. it's not really a movie persay... but it's a awesome collection of scary stories.. that really aren't that scary. i was jaded at a young age with the whole scary movie thing. my parents really didn't care what i watched, so i just like the movies for the cheese factor.. and my love of leslie neilson!!!!! BEST EVER!!! if you ahven't seen the creepshow movie and want to see leslie neilson as a bad bad man.. and doing harm to ted dansen or however you spell it.. you have to see this movie. *something to tide you over*

when i was younger my dad and mom buried me on the beach, its actually a funny story.. a small wave came up and splashed me in the head. lol i thought it was so funny. i had to be about 5 or 6. grew up at the beach daily. :-)

anyways you can get this movie forlike 5dollars at wal-mart dvd discount bin.. haha.

I know it sounds naive, but I was told it was real, and I believed, it, and my heart was POUNDING in my chest during almost the whole movie!!!
I don't get scared by movies often, so it's really hard to find something that does scare me. Also, it's not really a Halloween movie, but when Jurassic Park came out, I saw it in the theater and THAT movie also scared me! Great effects!
Don't feel bad BW creeped me out too. I was wigged by trees for a couple of months after that one. And I'm a bigtime horror groupie/veteran. Sometimes I think I've seen everything. Not much fazes me, but that one got me.

I had to vote for "Other" I haven't seen the scariest movie ever yet.


I've seen some of the movies in the list, including The Ring. There's some scary moments in each movie. I'd really like to see Saw though.

When I was very little, my parents took me with them when they went to visit their friends, and they left me with their friends' teenaged sons, who were watching Poltergeist on the television in the basement. The boys, being teenaged boys, didn't think anything of leaving a little girl alone, in the dark, with this movie on the TV, and so they left to go hang out with their friends. So, at the tender age of about four or five years old, I saw Poltergeist by myself in a dark, creepy basement at an unfamiliar home.

To this day, I am terrified of clowns and large dolls.

Thanks, I don't feel so bad now
...like I said, if you believed that it was true, I think it would freak anyone out! That last scene where they're walking through that house, she (or he? It's been a while) turns around and the camera falls and all you hear is screaming! I could hear my heart pounding!

I voted other....I'm not very easy to scare. The only movie that's ever really scared me was the remake of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre....I wasn't scared at the time, but after I had a dream about it that freaked me out. And I usually don't get scared of my dreams at all.

I love horror movies of all sorts, so I don't scare very easily. Having said that, none of the movies on this list really frighten me, exactly.

However, one of my favorite well-established series is DEFINITELY the Halloween line.

I also tend to lavish all sorts of affection on werewolf movies. Seriously, you wanna butter me up good and proper, you go and buy me a werewolf flick I don't own yet (and there are LOTS I don't own yet... for now).

I put other b/c I can't decide! I absolutely love scary movies, even cheesy ones! The Grudge really scared me. I had to sleep with a light on for a few nights, b/c every time I turned my lights off, I would see shadows on my ceiling corner that looked like the ghost/thing or whatever that was in the movie! Ring was scary the first time, but when I rewatched it, it didnt seem to scare me that much. I really thought the new Amityville Horror was very scary, I liked it a lot. Hmm....the Halloween movies don't scare me so much anymore, but at any Haunted House, if someone dressed as Michael Myers come at me I freak out, even though I know its fake!! Freddy freaks me out pretty bad, b/c ever since I was real little I've always been scared of people hiding under my bed, etc. and getting me while I'm asleep.

PS - I can't wait to see Saw 2 also! I was gonna go tonight with my BF, but I go to school in a tiny town with one theater, so we figured it would be packed....

You'd have had a fit last year if you were me, then. As I walked past this one street, a guy in a near-perfect Myers costume came out of the shadows and started stalking me. He followed me around for ten or fifteen minutes and just when I was beginning to actually panic, turned to "stalking" someone else instead. Pretty genius and rather in-character, really.




I have actually just decided upon the Scariest Film Ever:

Barney's Great Adventure: The Movie

AMC actually had a special on the 100 scariest movies. #1 was rather unexpected...

Jaws!

I think the scariest movie for me is The Shining. The thought of those two little girls creeps me out!
All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.

A few others that also scared the crap outta me lol..

poltergeist (I am also terrified of clowns thanks to this movie!!!)
night of the living dead
exorcist
the omen
the blob
nightmare on elm street


But the scariest story of all is The Stand. It was made into a mini series but definitely not as good as the book. It's my favorite boook and I've read it about 10 times. I've had nightmares after reading it. lol Soooooooo scary!!

"Scary" movies really don't scare me that much. They can startle me good while I'm watching them, but generally they don't mess with me afterwards.
Mostly it's because they're about tangible things that can be killed or otherwise delt with.
"Cabin Fever" however, messed with me BAD, for days...WEEKS after I saw it. Only movie that ever has. I had to sleep with the kitchen light on and facing the door for 2 nights afterwards. I think it's because the disease premise was so vile. I have become a nearly-compusive hand-washer as a result of that movie!
The hotel scene in "The Devil's Rejects" really messed with me, but I wasn't freaked out when I left the theater. That was an excellent horror movie, by the way. I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys the genre.

George Romero is the MAN!!! I love all 4 Dead movies..."DawnOTD" is my fave. Zombies, guts, gore, blood, and a interesting social commentary. How much better does it get???

I love zombie movies.

The Shining!
Jack Nicholson played this character SO well! *shivers*
And "IT"...."They all float down here" Gawd that freaked me out as a kid!
I love Stephen King! (but the books are always better
)

Im a horror movie buff, so they don't really scare me anymore. The movies that get to me now are one's about things that could really happen. Like something bad happening to my kids or family.
