The Ring was pretty darn creepy.

yes, it did have its moments.. but i would call it average at best.. i want one of those movies that scares you so bad, you are still thinking about it a few days later, and get freaked out just by thinking about it..

to this day, i still cant watch the exorcist with all the lights out in the house. it just freaks me out THAT much.

The film really digs deep into religious beliefs...having little to none, that film just doesn't scare me.

Films that scared me...

The Ring
Audition (nearly walked out of this one!)
Rosemary's Baby (not as scary as it was just a really well made movie)
Requiem for a Dream (in a different kind of way, but it really disturbed me for days)

Y'all are going to laugh at me, but building on the "halfway through the movie" thing.. .The remake of The Haunting a few years back was pretty freaky-until things started completely happening on screen. The ever so slightly moving cherub faces on the bedframe were scary as hell, the hovering black shroud, not so much.

Audition

This thread is bringing back a few long forgotten memories. I've been a suck since I was a kid when it comes to horror flicks, ghost stories and stuff like that.

I remember when I was in Junior High and one Friday night a month the school would host have a cheap movie night for neighbourhood students. One time they showed an Edgar Allan Poe movie, I think it was The Pit in The Pendulum. The movie freaked me out so much that when walking home with some frinds in the dark that night I insisted at least one of them had to accompany me up my street the door of my house. I couldn't do the walk up my street on my own. Also, for years as a kid when going to bed when the room was dark I'd always jump onto the bed from a few feet back so nothing underneath it could grab my leg on the way by.

So, the most scary flick I can remember seeing was Texas Chainsaw Massacre. It came out when I was in high school and scared the crap out of me. I don't think I've seen more than a few horror flicks since and that was about 30 years ago. Weird but stuff like Jaws, with animals etc., doesn't bother me much. Don't know why. But human blood, guts and demons who are gonna get ya do.

Im not big on horror flicks and was not allowed to watch any when i was younger. speaking about having friends walking you home when i was i kid i would walk home from my buddies house and i had to go through this little stretch of woods and it never failed at night i would get half way through the wind would blow or some other noise i would freak out and run the rest of the way home. makes me laugh just thinking about it now.

"BTW- gonna watch the 'harold and kumar' movie tonight"

THAT is one funny Movie. I watched it three times in one weekend, and just about peed myself each time. Make sure and take note of the T-Shirt that Kumar is wearing.
And then check out the extras, and check out that shirt as well. I'm told that the studio just plain nixed the shirt he is wearing in the extras.

And, you know that "that Giamatti guy" is the son of the Former Commisioner of Baseball, right? I'm probably going to get shouted down on this one, but they should put up a statue of Bart Giamatti in Cooperstown before they let that
B%$^&#d Rose into the Hall of Fame.

And Jaws. Scared the CRAP out of me! Love that movie. No matter how late at night it is, if I pass that one while surfing the dial, I end up watching the whole thing. And I OWN the damn thing!
