Halloween Movies and things that go bump in the night

[Guest Emperor]

I think I bring this up every Halloween, but what movies really scared you?

 

I have a few I will post later today.

[Guest Segurant]

Poltergeist <- freaked the crap out of me when I first watched this back in the 80's Of course I was like 10 but still

[Guest Yveva]

Labryinth scared the crap out of me as a kid the two times I attempted to watch it. I still haven't watched it all the way through. I just couldn't take the whole losing the baby brother thing. *shrug* Dark Crystal I loved.

Funny you should mention Labyrinth, as we just watched it a couple days ago. Both for the first time since it first came out. It is a strange, strange movie. And the only thing that is truly scary about it is David Bowie's tight pants.

 

Jareth: You remind me of the babe.

Goblin: What babe?

Jareth: The babe with the power.

Different Goblin: What power?

Jareth: The power of voodoo.

Goblin: Who do?

Jareth: You do.

Goblin: Do what?

Jareth: Remind me of the babe.

 

As for movies that still scare me...

 

Blair Witch Project: I thought it was brilliantly done. And anyone who has ever not been able to sleep while camping in a tent out in the woods because you heard creepy noises will find it terrifying.

 

Texas Chainsaw Massacre (original version): The sound of the flashbulb going off during the opening credits still sends shivers down my spine.

 

Night of the Living Dead (original version): "They're coming to get you, Barbara!"

 

The Serpent and the Rainbow: "Don't bury me! I'm not dead!"

 

Misery: Sledgehammer, anyone?

[Guest Emperor]

The Thing and the Exorcist both messed me up as a kid. The Thing because you couldn't tell who was evil and it turned you inside out. The Exorcist because I was scared of getting possesed and for a few nights I thought the devil lived under my bed.

I still can't eat split pea soup because of that movie.

[Guest Haxorsist]

The Ring: Little scary girl coming out of the TV and moving freakily :shock:

 

The Blair Witch Project: For many of the same reasons as Paityr it just freaked me out.

 

Another movie that scared the hell out of me was a Norwegian one named Villmark. It's about a group of people heading out in the woods and freaky stuff happens, and it has a nice little plot twist at the end. The fact the setting is kinda like how it is where I live only makes it more scary.

 

And now I'm gonna go hide under my bed.

[Guest Majsju]

Poltergeist, definitly.

The Birds, Ringu, Ju-on,

 

and possibly some more I can't recall at the moment.

[Paityr]

I forgot about this one...

 

Odishon: One of the creepiest plot twists I've ever seen. It hits you out of nowhere like a ton of bricks about half-way through the movie. "Kiri kiri kiri kiri kiri kiri!"

 

*shudders*

 

Also, Session 9 really creeped me out. Anything dealing with the horrors of 19th century and early 20th century psychiatric hospitals is the epitomy of terrifying to me.

28 Days Later..

I thoroughly enjoyed this movie, but I had zombie nightmares for a week.

 

Aliens..

They creeped you out too, don't deny it.

I don't have Zombie nightmares anymore and I know how to defeat them. Can't use a gun but I have plenty of swords and stuff to bash their heads :)

[Wolfsbane]

I turned into a werewolf one time.

That rocked.

Strange, the vamps were controlling the zombies.. but whatever, they all taste the same...

 

like pillows

Zombies do not really scare me. Like in NOTLD, they were slow moving and you just needed to hit them with a blunt object. Of course what is really scary is being bitten by one and then slowly turning to the undead. Now that is a scary prospect.
