Default Scariest movie of all time

Hello folks, it's Halloween time, and that means it is time for discussion of the unnerving and the horrifying. It seems most of you/us are fairly well acquainted with the deranged and/or depraved aspects of humanity. Is there a movie that has genuinely scared you during the adult phase of your life? Not, like, my babysitter let me watch Ghostbusters when I was five and I started pooping the bed, I mean genuinely scary in an existential way

only movie that had an impact on me was the exorcist but the first time i saw it i wasnt yet used to horror films. Was an adult though but maybe it would have had less of an impact if id seen ti now. Then there was ju-on but i saw it in the theater which helps.

Do you consider gore scary? Is disturbing scary? I feel like scary is a hard term to define.

As a kid, either The Shining or Candyman.

Now....I dunno. I scare pretty easy. Probably some formulaic junk like The Conjuring or Jessabelle.

I find stuff like Paranormal Activity or whatever it is, not that frightening. It takes a good, somewhat fleshed out, evil villain for me to consider it truly a scary movie.

The original Halloween and Halloween II will always be the scariest to me.

I was allowed to watch them at a very young age and even now Michael Myers is the reason I sometimes get scared if I'm in a house by myself.

Halloween III i love for completely different reasons, though.

really? halloween? i don't know...i find slasher movie not very scary. even if yeah, halloween is probably the best one in the genre. Not that it means that much. its not even close to being carpenter's best film (hint: that would be The Thing)

John Carpenter movies make me groan inside...I just know I'm in for 90 minutes of shitty music when I see his name.

I did find Halloween pretty scary. In that genre though, I think I found the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre scarier.

Actually the one I found most terrifying was that mini-series with Brian Dennehy about John Wayne Gacy. Now whenever I see Brian Dennehy a part of me pees my pants, a little.

The most terrified I have ever been is watching Ju-On, so I think I'm gonna have to go with that. Babadook came close, but Ju-On will probably always be number one.

The only ones that get to me as adult are films like Repulsion or Babadook, where you watch someone in a real life situation slowly loose their fucking mind.

All the rest are just superstitious folk tale crap to me.

I love horror movies of all types just don't find many of them very frightening at all.

Yeah that drivel only launched entire genres of music that are popular right now.

I haven't seen the exorcist. As a child I went through a phase of terror, feeling scared of being possessed or overtaken by the devil. It's not like I believe in this now but there's a part of me that's still scared of that kind of shit.

I'd have to say pet cematary used to get to me. The last film that had me spooked was Sinister.

C'mon you guys, this is trolling. Pro tip: any time you respond to something she says and she doubles down or gets even more ridiculous in rebuttal, you know she's strollin' and trollin'.

Although this does take me back to a more innocent time when trolling was a crafted persona (playing dumb to get a rise, etc.) or played for years with no hint of self awareness, no one really knowing if they were being put on.

Nowadays "trolling" is just watered down to mean hate speech or anyone who's opinion differs from one's own.

Ju-On, oh god. saw it once and didn't dare to rewatch it ever again, maybe this year.

also I wanted to see 1&2 - the Ju-On tv movies before the big one, and never got around to it. anyone seen those? each one shot in a week or something.

you know a film messed with you when you remember details of the day you saw it twenty years later. I do, fuck you Candyman.
Was alone at home that night for whatever reason, and it was on tv after midnight. what the hell was I thinking.
When I want to feel creeped out now I just listen to the soundtrack, works every time.

you aren't talking about the 80s movie then, the Italian Green Inferno?

god damn fuck you Eli Roth and your awful remakes.

thing is every time i watch The Thing i'm like man that's a great carpenter soundtrack... then eventually i remember it's Morricone. Though it sounds like it should be carpenter since it's so minimalistic. What is known as "the theme":



in the opening:



Genius if you ask me. It helps that the movie is too. It was a failure at the time of its release (it took a good twenty years before it was rehabilitated as the cult classic this deserved to be) and this soundtrack....was nominated for a razzie.... proving that most critics know fucking shit about shit. Maybe they thought it must have been Carpenter doing it and that it was ok to shit on the B movie guy. I mean this is 1982, you mean to tell me there wasn't like 300 super shitty synth soundtracks (synths are great but its a fact they were very poorly (over)used more than half the time in the 80s) to choose from for the razzies? Its not even like the thing was a hit so they couldn't be doing it to shit on something popular. though maybe someone had a score to settle (pun not originally intended) with morricone.

All i know is when this theme starts at the end and (could be spoiler ahead) Macready says the last line: "why don't we just... wait here for a little while... see what happens?" You either get chills or you're not alive.
