actually Blair withc project freaked the fuck out of me
and Doctor Who freaks me out still
basically the ones where it's your own imagination are the ones that fuck me up
Blair witch because it left so much to the imagination - what the fuck was making the voice spin around them - then what kind of tripped out weird freaky shit could make them just stand there in the corner like that???
for me it's the unanswered questions that scare the crap out of me
gore movies are just funny
[OT] Horror movies that are actually scary
Re: [OT] Horror movies that are actually scary
Hell yeah! This movie totally gave me the heebee-geebees! +1beats me wrote:I've completely lost my faith in Hollywood and even Indie studios in being able to make horror movies that are actually scary. So what fairly recent releases have freaked you out, and don't post a Chris Crocker video you assholes.
One for me..
Session 9. It's creepy in a The Shining type of way. Creepiest of all it was filmed in a actual condemned mental asylum and very little props or sets had to be built or brought in. It even inspired me to do some research on the place and sadly I think they tore it down a few years ago.
...and for some reason when I was younger, Children of the Corn scared the shit outta me,

Some that I still find scary:
BioDome.
Chairman of the Board.
Caveman.
George of the Jungle.
Garfield.
Underdog.
It is terrifying that someone would make these and more terrifying that someone would actually WATCH them.

Horror films have never really scared me, they have made me jump a little from time to time.
The one thing that really scared me was a documentary about sleep paralysis.
For anyone who doesn't know what sleep paralysis is, it's when your brain is basically half asleep & half awake, your body is paralysed, and you can hallucinate all sorts of nasty shit.
Lots of people have woken up in the middle of the night, been completely paralysed, with what ever scares them the most kneeling on their chest, attacking them.
Throughout history it has been well documented about people having these experiences, some people have witches attacking them, others have the devil and more recently people have woken up to aliens doing nasty experiments on them.
After watching that documentary i couldn't sleep.
Oh, by the way, it is believed 1 in 4 people will have an experience like this some time in their life.
Here is a link to wiki about it, not read it myself, but sure it will tell you a few fucked up things about what happens.

Well, they are. And it does.beats me wrote:I have a friend who is terrified by movies like Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Wolf Creek because he thinks white people in isolated locations are crazy and that shit actually happens.
Wolf Creek was a particularly good example of getting you to actually like the protagonists for a long period before things got stabby. Usually I can't wait for them to get killed as soon as possible.
Given some of the submissions and comments here it probably would be nice if the movie industry would separate horror into different categories like shock value, creepy, and gore. Shock value would be anything that constantly makes you jump out of your seat but are making jokes about the instant you leave the theater. Creepy would be anything that messes with your head for days, weeks, months, or even years. Gore would be violence just for the sake of violence. Or at the very least maybe slap on labels like video games letting you know the main reason for the horror label.
