Which films do you find the most scary, even though it's rediculous.

I know it sounds strange, but Carrie, the origonal, completely freaked me out. I thought that the mother was the creepiest woman ever. Especialy when she died.... And that horrible mad expression on her face.

An American Werewolf in London - now I must emphasise that, watching this again now, I find it entertaining, ridiculous but not scary, but it took a long time for me to be able to rewatch it, after a viewing of it when I was about 6 (horrible brother letting me watch it!) set me up with nightmares for a couple of years. So I still remember it as a scary film, even though it's not anymore.
But ones that I still find pretty chilling are:
The Others
The Ring (US version) - Samara crawling out of the tv is one of the creepiest film scenes of recent years (although when I rewatched it with my ex, he ruined the atmosphere by laughing throughout it - it somehow didn't seem as scary with him doing that!)
I always found the opening to Ghostbusters scary, ghost in the library
At the start with the girl in cupboard is quite creepy as well I thought.
I don't think most of the film Carrie is scary, just the mother... There's something about her.
Plus Carrie :rolleyes: come on, who finds the film scary these days.. But no other character has ever come as close to freaking me out as that red headed nutter, Carrie's mother Mrs White.
Scariest recent movies for me were 'Signs' and 'Alien Abduction - The McPherson Tapes' Aliens creep me out.
thankyou, thankyou, thankyou - people say i am crazy for saying this film can be creepy, especially as it is a remake of the "superior" ringu.
my wife and i watched the US version at the cinema when it came out, and although we weren't "scared", it has a real atmosphere of uncomfortable, freaky dread that runs through it from start to finish. the imagery, the noises, the jerky movement of the girl in the well, the unfolding plot which has you glued to see just what "the ring" is. :eek:
i think it is great
Call me insane but I actually quite fancied the mother. Can't work out why tho. Maybe I have a thing for insane religious fanatics
I can watch any horror. They do not scare me at all, I enjoy them immensely but they don't frighten me, never have. The only film that really truly scared me and creeped me out was (and still is) The Elephant Man. It's nothing to do with his grotesque form, it's the whole Victorian freakshow vibe of the film, and the constant hum of machinery, the black & white oppressive cinematography, the hopelesness of his situation. It just chilled me to the bone and it's one of the few films I can't watch as it stays with me too long and seriously affects my mood.
As an adult, Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me really makes me feel uneasy, I have no idea why
The original is superior, and far more creepy. The CGI on the ghost in the remake was terrible compared. I do however adore the scene in the remake with the Horse, that was just horrible and disturbing, nice touch in the remake.
How is finding Predator, Evil Dead or American Werewolf scary even faintly ridiculous?

also, The Woman in Black:

nothing else unsettles or frightens me. I recently watched The Evil Dead and that was so bad it was funny (which was part of the intention I guess).
Yep this does it for me too- was this the one with one of the family dies on the couch and they trap one of the aliens in a closet??
I watched this when it was first broadcast during xmas in 1989 my mate nearly had a heart attack when the women was hovering over the bed.
i nearly knocked my can of cheap lager all over myself lol
damn that WAS scary
as a kid poltergeist(prob spelt wrong lol) i couldnt watch alone it really did scare me
Err yes pretty much. The woman falls unconscious early on in the movie, then later on they find she's not breathing, and can't save her. And they manage to lock one of the aliens in an upstairs bedroom.
It just creeped me out the way the camera just glitched just as something was about to happen. Was very cleverly done I thought.
The scene in the bedroom with the alien behind the door almost made me poop meself!
To anyone who doesn't mind spiders it's probably hilarious.
Cursed was not scary at all , werewolves can be scary but not when they can speak and stick their middle fingers up at you!
Long Time Dead (2001).
You should try watching Eight Legged Freaks, you'll LOVE it ...........
