Poll: Scariest Movie Series Ever.

[Wildrow12]

The 1970's Captain America movies (the two with Reb Brown in the starring role).

Wow. If you ever wanted to see what Hell looks like for actors, you watch those two atrocities. The acting is so bad, the plot so boring, and the music so banal that it still chills my blood.

Forget Friday the 13th, Halloween, Jaws, and Nightmare on Elm Street: those two movies are the real horror show!

Korean Horror.

That's right, the entire genre. Or w/e. Don't fuck with Korean horror movies - they will give you nightmares.

Korean movies in general tend to do that. I'm a Cyborg, But it's Okay opens with a girl cutting opening her wrists, sticking electric wires in and turning on the juice. This is a romantic comedy.

i like Stephen King films, but i also thin that friday the 13th and nightmare on elm street are amazing films.

 

[Nemu]

None of those, tbh.

The only movies to scare me, ever, were The Exorcist and Texas Chainsaw Massacre and...I admit it, The Blair Witch Project--but ONLY because I saw it as part of my job at the time WAY before the hype, my former company was asked to screen it in Boston and I was one of the folks who went to see it, as such, I knew nothing about the movie at all.


To this day, The Exorcist and TCM are among my Top Ten flicks.

The first original Nightmare on lm STreet scared the arse off me and gave me nightmares for months. I actually walked out after the girl was dragged across the ceiling. But then I was 12 years old at the time.

Now, no movie really scares me. Nothing. Shame really, I love a good scare but it is really hard to get it.

I honestly haven't been scared by a movie since age 10 or so. Horror and scary movies just mess around too much; there's too much stupidity, or bad drama, or awkward humor for me to take them even the slightest bit seriously.

The only movie that really, really scared me was Event Horizon. One guy rips both his eyeballs out, holds them in his hand, then starts speaking Latin. That, my friends, is freaky.

I saw the new Nightmare on Elm Street and to be honest, I kinda laughed. So I wondered what was the scariest movie series ever. It can be an individual one as well w/e.

What the hell mate?
Resident Evil's up there? Alien isn't? Do you have rocks in your head or something?
Stephen King? More Cerebral than scary.
Cliver Barker is a far superiour writer. You want freaky shit, read Michael Chrichton's Prey. Easily my favourite book ever.
But I digress... Alien should be in that poll.

 

[Proteus214]

Series? No. A series is almost always too predictable past the first installment to actually be that scary. Halloween was kind of creepy, but many sequels later, it's lost anything that actually made it so. Alien was scary as hell; Aliens, not so scary, but still amazingly awesome.

Pet Cemetery so Stephen really is the King. Competition is all shit.

 

[ProfessorLayton]

How I love Tokyo Gore Police. That film just has "There's something wrong with Japan" plastered all over it.

Plus, it has a chainsaw duel.

I'm still confused from that movie. I don't know what it was supposed to be or what it actually was. The strip club scene made me sick but had me laughing the whole time. I mean, it's no Evil Dead 2, but it was certainly a messed up movie.

Also, the only reason I used that picture was because it was the only safe for work image that I could find.

 

[Aurora219]

Exorcist anyone?

I've not found a film that truly scares me yet. I watched the original exorcist at the age of 10. On my own. That's the only film that ever gave me nightmares.

 

[Superior Mind]

Saw the Jap version of "The Grudge" and since then horror movies haven't really scared me. I was keen to see the Hollywood version but it was absolute crap. A shame but what are you gonna do? Asians seem to have horror films down pretty damn well.

 

[Arsen]

Eraserhead. The ending makes me shit brick nightmares.
And the beginning to the movie Irreversible.

The last time I can remember watching a movie and feeling any kind of anxiety was the first time I saw Alien and then Aliens 2 as a kid, over at my friends house. Those were scary to me, guns weren't effective against these nasty weapon-like animals and neither were supposedly powerful space marines. I didn't even like the setting, it was creepy, combined with my hatred of bugs, making for a frightening combination. Movies these days don't do much for me.
