bailey1007 Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 Not a fan of the slash and gore flicks but my two faves are "The Invisible Man" and "Blair Witch Project." Both stayed with me for a very long time after I saw them. Link to post Share on other sites
LuckyDan Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 I liked The Sixth Sense though Bruce Willis's performance was a little stiff. Link to post Share on other sites
bettedavisjr Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 Daughter of the mind, the house that would not die, and crowhaven farm were all movies I saw as a child and they scared me. I would like to see them again today to see if they hold up but none are available. One that I have seen on TCM is Eye of the Devil and I still enjoy it. Link to post Share on other sites
KathleenT Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 I was totally scared by the second movie "Aliens". I watched that with 2 friends at an almost empty theater in Hollywood on a rainy Sunday night. The scene where they are in that cavernous room and they don't see the creatures then the walls seem to move because the aliens are all over the walls. That night I couldn't close my eyes without seeing them everywhere. I have other all time favorites though. Like Legend of Hell House; when they are talking in the dining room and they hear that voice calling out and when they enter the chapel their colleague has been murdered. Very Creepy! I also love the Hammer Films they are among the best. And of course the Universal Classics - Frankenstein, Dracula, The Wolfman and The Mummy. I can't just narrow it down to 1 all time fave!

KathleenT Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 Yes! Carnival of Souls is sooooo creeeepy! That movie gives me goosebumps, I like when she plays that big pipe organ and then goes off on her tangent and starts to play that really creepy music. Link to post Share on other sites
MadMovie Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 I had totally forgotten "Carnival of Souls!" Saw that when I was 8 years old many, many years ago and couldn't sleep for a week. Rented it about a year ago, and it still creeped me out. The scene on the carousel, especially the last part - brrrrrrrrr! First movie I remember that really terriried me, and to this day is my all-time favorate is "Bride of Frankenstein". Elsa Lancaster as the Bride was horror personified - her stitled and bird-like mannerisms - shudder!!!!! And love that hiss at the Monster. The camera work in both this and the original Frankenstein (lighting, shadows, etc.) was superb, although in my humble opionion, Bride was the better movie. Others with major scare factor for me, not particularly in any order, are: Frankenstein Nosferatu The Uninvited Dracula (the original with Bela Lugosi) Turn of the Screw (with Deborah Kerr) The Haunting (Julie Harris) House on Haunted Hill (Vincent Price) Ghost Story Stir of Echoes (Kevin Bacon and Kathryn Erbe) The Japense versions of the Ring, and Ring 2: Ringu, and Ringu 2 made in the late '90's - visually very scary!!

MadMovie Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 . . . and yes, "Let's Scare Jessica to Death" . . . psycholigically nasty! Saw it first-run in a drive-in the 70's. Raised the hairs on the back of my neck. Link to post Share on other sites
