I saw Identity last night.   I thought it was actually a pretty good story, with some juicy twists throughout.  Not too keen on the ending though.  As with all horror/thriller movies, it had a few heart in mouth moments.  Of course I wasn't affected by these whatsoever.

Tommy, I was wondering if you meant the movie where
John Cusack and Ray Liotta (among others) end up at the same
hotel on the same night? I have seen previews of that and I'd really
like to see it ~ especially since reading your take on it.

But, since you have twisted my arm , I will definately get the book.

IT is one of Stephen Kings best, it's a long read but worth it.Like Halo said, let us know what you think when you've read it!

Aye, i agree "The Ring" is one scary mofo movie, I went to see it at the cinema with some freinds and all the girls could not sleep that night lol. The Exorcist scared me, mainly because i was around 10 when my mum rented it for me. Prolly the scariest movie ive seen, was on Pay TV (Austar) in australia about 2 years ago, i eventually tapped it when i re-ran it was entitled "Alien Abduction" it was a blair witch style movie where a camcorder was found in this family's house and the movie is that tape, its at thanksgiving and they are all gathered and they hear an explosion and lights go out they venture down to the power box and then see more sparks from a transformer they witness a landed UFO and get spotted by greys (who look and act really kool) and one of em gets shot in the hand by a laser the next hour consists of them inside the house trying to keep the greys out, eventually they get in and abduct them all, Im not easy to scare, normal horror dosent affect me but this is a different style, When aliens are brought into the equation i get freaked, i recoocment this to anyone if they can find it, i have it on tape i should rip it and get it on divx or something. Really really scary

Yeah thats the one KC. It got mixed reviews, but I think it's worth a look.

Bah. The Ring was overhyped.
I can't really think of a scary movie as a whole right now, but Robert Blake's Mystery Man role in David Lynch's "Lost Highway" was pretty freaky.
The Mothman Prophecies gets my vote too.

Signs.

The scene that sealed it was that grainy footage of the alien taken during the birthday party.

The Blair Witch Project is a close second.

Anybody remember The Changeling?

George C Scott, late nineties early eightees. No gore or people running round screaming or anything but the scariest film I've ever seen - on top of which it's supposedly based on true events.

Mine has to be " IT" Then after that goes to Nosferatu, that was eerie.

Some other scary movies to me are THE RING ( HAd nightmares for days )

Pet Cemetary and Needful Things, but I also read those books.

What do you guys think the scariest movie ever is? It would be nice if it was a true story as well, otherwise it just is hard to be scared by it.

I was probably most scared by The Exorcist, because at the time, I thought it was based on a true story, actually I have thought that until just recently when I actually did some hardcore researching and found otherwise.

I still say The Exorcist 1 is the scariest movie I have ever seen though, because even if it wasn't based on a true story, the movie makes it look quite real and makes you think that it could really happen.

The Shinning is 2nd on my list thats very close.. then silence of the lambs

There are three that have stuck with me through my life:

The Changeling
Halloween
Dementia-13.

The Exorcist.

When I was a bit younger I tried watching it, and I just couldn't. And I still had nightmares for weeks.

the sad thing is...the only movie to actually scare me was King Kong...when i was like 5....

The Exorcist
The Changling
The Ring

THE RING!!!

OMG, that is one scary flick, but I cant stop myself from watching it when its on. Check these links, they have all the scary stuff about the movie.

Go to the link and you will see other scary movie scences( the shining, exorcist, etc...)

Cool links I forgot how much that movie scared me

These movies I am about to mention are not very scary...just weird and strangely addicting to me (as I have watched them both at least 10 times apeice)
The Fly and The Fly II. Something about them...weird.

I haven't seen any yet that can be considered as scary

I know all you big, brave (and scarier) people will laugh but The Ring scared the crap out of me. I made the mistake of watching it alone late at night because I couldn't sleep. Well after that there was absolutely no sleep for this chickadee! I was even freaked by having to take a shower before I got ready for work.

Yes that movie scared me

No Dot, you are not alone. I was really freaked out watching the Ring... OMG, the part at the end, completely scared me...

Reese the end freaked me out! Did you click on Big Mack's links posted above?

I can't!!!! I am alone right now, and the girl you posted above, scared me enough!!! Boo on you for trying to scare me today... Boo Dot!!!

LMFEAO!!! If my phone was to ring, I would in turn need to run to the bathroom..

hehehe

I hate that photo enough, thanx!

OMG!! I just found this thread and read it from begining to end, but there is only one thing that is stuck in my mind,.....thanks alot Mr-X for that darn pic on the first page!!! I love good scary movies that make me jump or scream while watching them, but The Exorcist is the absolute scariest movie I have ever watched!! It truly scares me... I can't sit and watch it all....I've tried several times. It scares me so bad that I feel shakey inside, and then I can't even go into another room by myself!!! That movie is by far the most scariest movie on this planet!!!

They sould make an Exorcist video game. I'll be Father Merin. Your mission on lvl 1. Find a cross, but watch out for possesed babies or giant axes.

That would be awesome, and in a boss fight, the possesed guy covers you in green pea soup.

Without a doubt The Exorcist

I was most freaked out by " Cannibal Holocaust " . Its some crazy sh** for sure..

ok my friend is still FREAKED OUT by "the ring" but i am so scared of "pet cemetery" EEEEEEEKK

The Omen (watching for first time)
Texas Chainsaw Massacre (original, still have to see it all the way through)
Jeepers Creepers (the first 30-40 mins)

and The Day After Tomorrow but for different reasons...

Event Horizon......scared the hell out of me

The only movie I've seen that has really scared me is The Ring. *hides* I'm just a big baby, when I saw it the second time, I turned away when they played the tape. XD
