OT - Favorite Scary Movies

stoneycakes

What are your favorites? DH and I are planning on watching one or two tonight (Thank God the World Series is over, amirite, @Mandmeesh?). I'm looking for inspiration.

The Exorcist is the scariest for me.  I love the Shining, too.  And the Descent, but that's less Halloweeny themed.

I am reading the Amityille Horror right now and I can seriously only read it when DH is home, lol.

This is probably a FFFC, but I have never seen that movie.

I know.  I'm ashamed of myself.  It's just one of those movies that keeps slipping through the cracks.  DH never wants to watch it with me because he's seen it a million times and I don't usually watch scary movies by myself.  Because they're scary, yo.

Mandmeesh

let's make it a date! I'll buy the milk duds and fun-size pay days!

I haven't seen it either! Cree-ee-py!

Okay, to tell the truth I haven't seen any of these movies. I think the scariest movie I ever watched was the one where the scientists at the north pole dig up some ancient alien thing that possesses them. I don't even remember what it's called. Oh, and I also remember catching part of a movie about people who kept lowering stuff into a haunted mine. That one freaked me out for a long time, but I was probably 8 at the time.

The freddy kruger movie with a young Johnny depp is the scariest one for me! I never read scary books bc they are so much scarier and descriptive than a movie. The exorcist definitely creeps me out and the ring!

I don't watch scary movies. Because they're scary. I'm like a little girl. We even have nightlights in every room.

Glad I'm not the only one!

We watch TONS of scary movies every October and have seen pretty much all of the well-known ones. For some reason the Paranormal Activity movies really creep me out. More psychological and nail-biting rather than fake gore and guts in slasher movies, which I don't find very scary. And the PA movies always take place in the characters' homes, so it makes me afraid to be alone in the dark house!

Mandmeesh

how about the Goonies?  that movie is kind of frightening for kids.  and it has a young Josh Brolin

I watched The Lost Boys last weekend. It wasn't scary at all, but I LOVE me some bad 80's movies. Especially when Keifer Sutherland is a bad Billy Idol look-alike. (BTW Who knew KS had so many middle names?!? Kiefer William Frederick Dempsey George Rufus Sutherland is a British-born Canadian actor, film producer, and film director. Wikipedia)

What about the Saw movies?  Those scared the crap out of me.  So did The Ring and Thirteen Ghost.  Ok, I'm a wuss, It scared me too. 

Mandmeesh

Oh yeah! The Saws! Also, pet semetary was terrifying

The Devil's Chair! Although, I dig scary movies.

How about the original Night of the Living Dead.

Or something different like The Devil's Backbone or The Orphanage. Those two are more about messing with your mind.

If you want cheesy or campy, Slither.

I love my horror movies, but then hate myself for watching them.

We ended up watching Trick 'r Treat because a bunch of people recommended it to DH.  I thought it was awful. It was cheesy and not scary at all. I actually went to bed before it ended. Oh well.

Mandmeesh

That ones not ringing a bell. Let me ask DH

candlequeen

I don't know but that was seriously the best descriptIon EVER

Could it be the episode "Skin and Bones" from a TV show called Fear Itself? I haven't seen it, but I was bored and decided to play on Google.

(ETA Do not confuse this with a movie called Skin and Bone which is apparently about male hookers.)

Mandmeesh

Are you sure it's not skin and boner?

unaveragejane

Yep, just bone...b/c how are the poor guys going to make money if they don't actually bone with the boners??? I assume...

Mandmeesh

Ahhh ha. You're right!
