New Poll Part Deux. Scariest Movie of All Time!!!

[L.J.]

I voted for alien, not because its really scary now, but because i saw it when i was 5 YEARS OLD. In fact, i still have dreams about those f'in aliens coming out of the shadows or out of my chest. A twenty year nightmare!!!

When I was a kid my parents took my brother and I to see the fly and aliens.(This was back when you could see a double feature for about $4) Nice parenting huh.

I got dropped off at a double feature of Poltergeist and E.T.! Now that's variety.

I agree with others. The big E is probably the scariest movie ever made. There were just too many disturbing scenes in that movie. Like the scene where girl masturbating with a cross!

Another good unknown scary movie is Ghost Story. Dare you to watch it alone

Smokey, the book on which that movie is based scared me more than any film has. That's no joke. I highly recommend the book to anybody who likes a good scare. I wasn't that impressed with the movie though. I may give it another shot. I think I tried to watch it right after finishing the book.

Smoke,

Did you get a chance to read my review of THE EXORCIST: THE VERSION YOU'VE NEVER SEEN DVD in here? If not, give it a read and tell me what you think.....it sums up that masturbation scene pretty intensely.

Thanks man!

I would have voted for the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre had it been up there, but in its stead I picked Alien. I love the feel of those movies, minimal use of lame musical scoring, both seem very gritty and real, and reality is what makes a movie scary to me. That damned Tubular Bells theme ruined the Exorcist for me, I've never been able to understand why people enjoy that song! Modern stuff like the Ring can scare me moderately, but seem a bit too stylized, just aping what past horror has done before while adding fancy digital post-processing to make the image looked washed out/dark greenish/whatever.

That's what I'm talking about. You gotta go old skool and throw in the this can really happen factor. Psycho and texas chain...... can really happen making them that much more scary. There's no special effects or emphasis on using technology to the extreme,it's just people in real situations. You can easily put yourself there and that's what makes it scary. I havent seen any newer films, on the scary side that I even care to watch. I usually go to blockbuster and pick up one of those old skool classics.
