[OT] Horror movies that are actually scary

I love those two movies, another excuse to use the subtitles feature!

Actually those I can mostly understand ok, just that the dialogue in Descent is kinda quiet at times in relation to the music.

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.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleep_paralysis

This is commonly refered to as the "Old Hag Syndrome". Some scary shit for sure. Basically, you wake up in the middle of the night with a 70 year old woman/witch kneeling on your chest. You can't move. I've never exprienced this but if I did I'd have to break out the night light all over again!

Did the meningetis twisted back sister named Zelda do it to you too? I seriously thought that's what happened to you when you have menengitis. Even creepier, it was a man who played her because they couldn't find a woman skinny enough...

I'll bet they don't have that problem when the doomed remake comes out...

ROFL! Reminds me of the time when my wife and I watched "The Exorcism of Emily Rose" and she woke up at 2a.m.!

She was so freaked out! She woke me up and I had to try to calm her down, rofl!

(I won't spoil the movie for those who haven't seen it, but 2a.m. has a significance.)

I watched 28 weeks later the other day, i would say it's as good as the first one, well worth a watch, has a few silly moments though.

and yes, them zombie/infected people do run fast as fuck.

And it has one of the best sound tracks to a film ever

Hey adonis,

Just wondering, where did you get that Skull picture, it makes me laugh a lot when I look at it, that expression on the skull \ face is classic

Powell Peralta logo man, the Bones Brigade! I used to have that on the back of a jacket when I was a skater in high school. As opposed to the skater I am now that is

The movie that is in my sig. has some phat ass bass wobbles(dubstep style) in a couple parts of the movie. The opening song for the movie is actually pretty cool.

+1 on pretty much all of John Carpenter's music. Both the original version and John Carpenter's remake of the Thing are great movies.

I know its not Horror but there is a lot of cool electro in the first Terminator, like when they are being chased through the tunnel and during the flashback or flashforward sequences.

There is this movie from the 40's called Arsenic and Old Lace. Its about this dudes old Aunts and his demented brother that are competing in killing people, the Aunts have a crazy son that thinks he is Teddy Roosevelt and is digging the Guatemala Canal in the basement which is really graves for the bodies.

The first Friday the 13th is a fantastic movie. "Kill her mommy, K I L L HERRRRRRRR"

I'd have to respectfully disagree and say that I thought it was bobbins for most of the movie.

Really fucking Bobbins!

Not scary but a must see for any horror fan. The Hunger, with David Bowie and Susan Sarandon. I feel this was Bowie's best performance, but not too far behind The Labyrinth.

with an AWESOME opening scene starring Bauhaus, that alone is worth the rental.
