I'm going to have to watch the exorcist again. Lots of people rave about it, but I never found it very scary, or interesting or anything really.

What always gets to me is possessed people who are either very young or very old. The Shining has both and is pretty scary the first time you see it. I'm surprised noone has mentioned Psycho. Psycho I and II are both a little frightening.

The one film I remember as being scary is The Survivor. Robert Powell plays a pilot who is the sole survivor of a plane crash. He can't remember anything about it but the people who died come back to haunt him. It's probably rubbish but I saw it at the optimal age of being scared.

well I think the funniest scarry movie would have to dawn of the dead

I know this was about scariest but they just don't scare me just make me jump

Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.
Well, it scared me as a little kid.

I saw "Orca." Just last week, in fact, along with "The Beast," which is about a giant squid.

Another scary flick is "Prince of Darkness." It's a beaut ! It has some freaky effects, a bit of suspense, and even Alice Cooper killing a guy with a bicycle, which doesn't come off nearly as funny as it sounds.

Event Horizon was pretty good, too. It's nice to see horror and sci-fi mixed together like that, which of course leads to my all time pick---> ALIEN.

1. Amityville horror by far, if you havent seen it yet its a MUST! And the fact that its based on a true story gives it that extra kick

2. The Ring (part 1) very creatively produced IMO, good scare and definitely gets under the skin!

3. The Grudge, was very good and scary at the start but dragged on a little towards the end

Amityville is NOT a true story. The murders were real but the haunting was a hoax perpetrated by the people that subsequently bought the house and the lawyer for the boy who killed his family. Of course, it makes for a good story, but the fact that these people profited from a tragedy so surreptitiously is a bit ..... unpleasant.

The Ring and The Grudge are both based on Japanese films (I consider the Japanese film industry - both live action and animated - to be the best in the world.) The Ring is "Ringu" and The Grudge is "Ju-on" (Not The Juon). I don't normally get frightened by scary movies, I found the Exorcist ridiculously amusing at age 12, but The Ring and Poltergeist got under my skin. The Grudge was just good fun. Smile
