For some reason, the movie that scared this troper the most was Jennifer's Body. Specifically the part where she seduces this goth type guy, lures him to an abandoned house, and has loads of rats rip him to shreds. All whilst her friend is having sex, and having visions of Jennifer doing it.
The scariest movie I can remember watching was one from the seventies or so called 'Don't be Afraid of the Dark'. It was about this young married couple that moved into a big, old house. Down in the basement, where the wife was going to have her office, they found a blocked up fireplace. The wife has the fireplace opened up. Soon after a bunch of little demons/monsters start coming up out of the fireplace trying to drag her down into their lair to make her their new queen. The creatures couldn't stand light, it was physically painful for them.
Anyway, I saw that movie when I was like 8 or 9 and it terrified me. I was afraid of the dark for years afterward. And, to this day, just the thought of the creepy voice the demons used unnerves me.

The original alien. Been only 8 (or 10... so long ago) at the time it was *hide behind cushions* scary. One of those experiences that kept me up for weeks.
Currently the scariest film for me isn't exactly a horror. Grave of the Fireflys gutted me and I found it more terrible then any slasher monster flick. Powerful film.
The Road had a similar impact on me, but not nearly as potent.
Horrors don't scare me any more. Films or games (I want survival horror back as a genre, not these imposter action adventures). All the CG in the world couldn't convince me the boogeyman is a real monster waiting around the corner to get me, and all the fake digital gore makes me think more of ketchup then the ol' "ketchup" they used to use (it wasn't ketchup, but its fun to think it was).
Even psychological horrors have become a bore. I enjoy horrors as a concept now, rather then a visceral experience.

Well when I was a kid Pet Sematary scared the crap out of me, but when I watch it now it's like how was I scared of this?
Not necessarily the scariest movie, but a scary movie that I enjoyed the most since I've been an adult has been The Ring. Pretty great movie there. I tend to like those creepy kinda movies instead of gore fests.

For the longest time Poltergeist has ranked as my #1 scary movie. I love Alien even more as a movie, but I didn't find it to be that scary. At 5 years old I thought it was the coolest thing ever.
As of two weeks ago though, I think Insidious takes my top spot. I didn't sleep at all the night that I saw it.

The fucking Poltergeist.... My god. I saw that when I was quite young and where I lived then we had a row of conifers at the back of the garden. For weeks afterwards I was absolutely convinced that at any moment one of the trees would smash through the window and try to grab me.Proteus214 said:
Older Cousin who really liked horror movies and used to keep scarying you?azurawolf said:
You and me both, mate. High Five!
As for the scariest movie I ever saw, I have to go with The Ring or The Exorcist, they are both pretty creepy.
I don't watch horror movies, but the scariest movie I saw was that shitty Doom film when I was about 10. I know. I saw it recently, and thought: "Well. It's shit. I guess the ending is alright, because of the FPS scene. But, meh. Just crap." By then I had played the games (the first 2) and liked them, so I thought, why not?
The scariest movie that is good that I saw was Jurassic Park, again I was about 10. Never really watched it again. Was planning to, got the book, read about 10 pages...and no. No. That baby! If you read it, you'll know.
My favorite movie that is scary may be the 1979 Russian Stalker movie. Amazing film. Only 2 scenes really disturbed me. One scene with some skeletons, and the tunnel scene. Go watch it.

The Blair Witch Project. One of the Few Scary Movies that is actually good.
Also, the Marble Hornet Series is pretty scary.

Either John Carpenter's The Thing, the original Halloween (also by Carpenter), or Jaws (the first time you see the shark is a pretty memorable moment).

Well, you basically watch what the victims watched on that accursed tape.
Needless to say, yeah, the movie messed with my freaking mind. What's funny is - as I said - I wasn't terrified during the movie, maybe enthralled by it, but never honestly terrified. That is until I clicked that stupid option in the Extras. Then I was terrified of it.
