Horroshow Best Of

[youngj]

In honor of Alan Wake, and the spiffy Stephen King quote at the end: what do you feel was the best horror experience you have ever had?

Feel free to include books, movies, games, or real life attractions like haunted attractions.

Eternal Darkness.

Assuming you have no idea what the sanity effects entail, you will be incredibly entertained/scared with what happens the longer you play.

Or when you get to Giygas in Earthbound/Mother 2. You better believe I was freaked out when I was younger.

Watching Evil Dead I guess... I can't say I've seen any other horror movies, because I don't really count zombie movies as horror movies.

Either the mannequin scene from Condemned, or anything from Dementium: The Ward (DS).

Condemned is more of a crawl-under-your-skin creepy, while Dementium is like a EEEEW WHAT THE HELL IS THAT kind of creepy.

Oh the mannequin scene, that was pants shittingly scary =) And yeah, I love that crawl-under-your-skin creepy aye A lot better then F.E.A.R.S, BAH!! type of scary.

Silent Hill 2 in the hospital basement as you and Maria are navigating its narrow corridors only to discover as the camera pans round Pyramid-head is in pursuit.

I must go with Condemend the criminal origins that's the only game that made me to freak out.
From movies Nightmare on Elm street.

In Condemned 1, when the guy first grabs you in the locker...I didn't even jump, but I could feel the hair on my neck stand straight up, and I couldn't move for a few seconds

This one movie I saw on SBS a while back, I'm so pissed I never found out it's name (if someone can tell me I would hug you IRL). Its set in a single cell in an insane asylum. The main character was put in there by his lieing wife so she could divorce him and take his money. The other 3 cell mates consist of a big burly cannibal who killed women to eat their... well female specific parts and who was slowly getting plastic surgery to become a woman (only got massive cleavage before he was caught), a really thin, introverted, autistic guy who no one knows what he did to be there and a member of a mystical cult that murdered his entire family. Anyway they find a book of rituals from the cult one of the cell mates was a member of and they have a massive argument over whether to use it or not. Eventually they throw it out the window and destroy it but new editions of the diary/ritual book keep making their way back into the cell. The book defends itself too and causes weird things to happen. Like the thin guy eats some of the pages and he gets lifted into the air and all his body parts start getting twisted and crushed until every bone in his body is shattered and all his skin is torn. Eventually they all kill each other and only the main character survives and completes the ritual only to find the benefit of it is also a massive curse (to have your wish fulfilled you are killed and your spirit is cursed to being trapped).

I wish I knew what it was called. It was a creepy movie.

Edit: It wasn't english if that helps. I had it turned down low to catch only the music and subtitles.

Stephen Kings: 'The Shining'.
I check behind the curtain every time I go to the bathroom now.

Stephen Kings "Pet Sematary" is mine. The book, not the film; even though the misspelling of cemetary has always annoyed me.
