Let’s be truly frightening films.

I absolutely love that movie. Between that and Candyman I am really happy.

The original Funny Games was too much for me, had to turn it off. Also that Henry Portrait of a Serial Killer film. Guess there are common themes here

Prince of Darkness had its faults, but I always found it chilling.

Green Inferno, Megan Is Missing, and In A Violent Nature are the only films I've seen once and never watched again.

Most white people find People Under the Stairs terrifying. I'm one of them.

Crawl (2019).

Which one?

R8. Mary Crosby, Rose!

The Blind Side

Fire Walk With Me

Drag Me to Hell

Funny Games

The Strangers (2008)

MAME

THE MIRROR HAS TWO FACES. One DLer once nicely summed it up: "It's hard to figure out what's scarier - the mirror having two faces or that they're both Barbra's."

The Shining. Delbert Grady and Jack in the bathroom scene was the height of creepiness. Kubrick did good.

“The Drop of Water” segment from the horror anthology Black Sabbath (1963). Ugh… it still freaks me out.

What Lies Beneath, with Harrison Ford and Michelle Pfeiffer, scared the hell out of me. I was in a theater that seats about 1000 and only one other person came in to watch it during a weekday matinee. And they sat right behind me.

The Ring.

The Glenn Close Movie Collection

I loved the shining true psycho that I am

The first Paranormal Activity. Saw it at the theater with friends. After the movie started, everyone in the auditorium fell silent. No one talked or laughed, they just watched the film. After it was over, everyone rose [italic] en masse [/italic] and walked to the lobby.

Wolf Creek

the original Exorcist film. It's been parodied, bad rip offs, goofed on for 50 some years, so the impact is now blunted for younger generations. But trust me, in 1973 it was scary a f

Eden Lake

Hereditary and Soylent Green.

Eric Steel's documentary The Bridge (2006)

Henry, Portrait Of A Serial Killer.

How about Get Out, seems especially appropriate for you, holierthanthou.

It still scares the shit out of me, r24.

R29. Get Out and White Men Can't Jump sum up Holierthanthou pretty well.

I am watching Candyman for the first time today. (The original.)

"Martyrs" (2008).

r32, I envy you!

Steel Magnolias

r34 I remember my cousins watched it when we were kids, and it scared the shit out of them. I have avoided it ever since.

Tony Todd should have been a major star on his voice alone. He's also gorgeous and a good actor. I simply don't understand Hollywood because he's a good enough actor that I can buy wanting him to kill you. He's so damned elegantly good in the role.

Martyrs is a twisted fucking masterpiece, though I don't find it frightening per se. It's mostly just sickening and leaves me feeling hopeless and like I want to die—but wonderfully made and truly disturbing on a spiritual level.

"The Exorcist".

As a Roman Catholic, it positively terrified me. (I was a teenager in the 1970s.)

R29 Yeah Get Out was pretty scary. The first time I saw the scene in which Allison Williams cannot find those damn car keys was a truly terrifying experience. Also when that old black man appears out of nowhere. I’ve seen the film so many times it no longer scares me however.

R31 More cow bell.

I STILL haven't seen "Get Out." I just watched "I Came By" with George McKay. It wasn't jump out of your seat scary--except for one scene--but it was frightening because the results of a decision made under duress can lead to utter catastrophe. I had to sit for a minute after it was over.

Candyman was scary enough.

During the opening sequence, my first thought was, "Wow, this feels eerily similar to Koyaanisqatsi." Then I saw Philip Glass did the score.
