All Hail The Almighty Stephen King!!!

I love reading his novels and short stories. All the movies that have been made from his books in the past haven't been so great because the technology to duplicate what he writes wasn't available. But with The Mist at least you didn't see cheap little plastic insects being thrown against plexiglass. I can't wait until Under The Dome is released in November.

I think the problem with scary movies is that we've been desensitized. I'm not gonna preach about the evils of desensitization, though. I LOVE being desensitized.

The thing is, I've heard that, in its time, The Raven, by Edgar Allen Poe, scared the bejeezus out of people, and when I read it I pretty much had to force myself to finish. Sheer boredom.

So when people make scary movies they either have to jolt you, which is pretty cheap if the story sucks, or they gotta really gross you out, like with The Hills Have Eyes or Hostel or Saw.

Although, I loved The Silence of the Lambs. I kinda have a thing for cannibals.
 
I'm a huge horror film fan. I'll watch pretty much everything even the crap (cause they tend to be funny). I don't think slasher/ gore are scary they just make you cringe in pain. Some of my favorite scary movies are

The exorsist (#3 wasn't too bad either)
IT (book was much better, but thats pretty much always the case)
Event Horizon
Dawn of the Dead (the remake)
Darkness
The Shinning
Alien/ Aliens

There some good foriegn ones I've seen but the titles escape me.
 
Bring it on: All or nothing

Really scary.

Sounds just like me, if you can't tell by my avatar. I loved "Event Horizon", one of my favorites. The original "Hellraiser" is also great. One of my favorite little less-known ones has got to be "Dead Birds". There's always stuff like "Last House on the Left" also, but that's more of a revenge film....

Dead Birds, I had to google that (sounded familar) that was a pretty good one. Poltergeist was a good one too. There so many that have such good potential but then fall short one way or another. Unborn, Silent Hill, to name a couple. Jaws scared the crap out of me when I was little (still have trouble even swimming in a lake). But any demon movies, virus outbreaks, scary kids, clowns (though not many good horror films about them) they are always good to watch.
 
Not many 'horror' films scary me, they're mostly just gorey. Candy man breaking through the mirror always makes me jump.

For a proper scary film (that i tried watching first time with the lights off but had to turn them all on half way through cause i nearly crapped myself) it's always 'The Descent'.
 
The Desent was also a good one, that was another one I hadn't really thought about since watching.
 
Not a jump fright movie but nothing creeps me out more than "pet sematary":WHOA:
The original hellraiser and event horizon are all time favorites,still watch them.
