Scariest Movie Of All Time

What is the answer to this question? I really don't know, because the scariest movie I saw was E.T when I was about three years old. He scared me.

Any suggestions on what is the scariest movie of all time? Alien? Friday the 13th? Moulin Rouge 😉?

An obscure movie called "I Play in the Fields of the Lord." Kathy Bates plays a missionary's wife who goes a little crazy and starts running around naked. That image is one never to be forgotten. (the horror, the horror).

I've never heard of that one. But, I just went down to the video store and rented (or, at least, my dad did) Soylent Green. Any tips on how to avoid being sick (apparently).

I thought The Ring was pretty scary because unexpected loud noises kept making me jump.

If you want to talk about good 'ol fashioned horror, then you can't go wrong with "The Evil Dead".


p.s. ok, I hold a little bias, I am a big Bruce Campbell fan. 😉

p.p.s. Soylent Green is a great movie, but I really wouldn't call it scary.

The Evil Dead and Bruce Campbell rock!
Evil Dead III was the first horror film I really liked. When I met my wife she had all 3 films on video 🙂
Wasn't there a rumour about a fourth film about?

Not an actual movie, but the episode of the x-files where that little Indian guy wheels himself around on that cart and makes himself invisible and stuff - i couldn't sleep for days after watching that!!

I think horror films and scary films are not necessarily the same thing.
Sure, a blood and guts slasher film can make you jump and make you sick at the sight of blood and gore, but that's not the same as scary.
Films like Hitchcock's 'The Birds' - now that's scary, and there's hardly any blood any guts. Its all in your mind. That's what makes it scary.

For me, the Exorcist, scariest movie i ever watched....course i was a kid at the time.....havn't watched it since....used to play chess against a guy who's head would spin around everytime he lost!!

Exorcist is scary! Here is my pick....

I was about 14 or so and "tried" to watch American Werewolf in London on Halloween at midnight... It was playing at Edward Theater in URI. (University of Rhode Island)

Right when they show the guy’s face all pale and the red eyes we both ran out of the theater!

Not that bad a movie, but that night it really got me.

Bruce Campbell and Sam Raimi - much respect, esp Evil Dead 2!
American Werewolf (the first one..) - gotta love it too. Scary to hear the old Yorkshire man in the pub on the moor doing the Tetley's Tea adverts for years after that tho!

My vote - has to be - The Shining.
I am not at all a Stephen King fan, but that is one claustraphobic film! And yes - very little gore.

What do people think of Texas Chainsaw Massacre - that has some nasty moments in it, and more tension than you can shake a stick at????

I still get spooked watching "The Exorcist". 😳

-Ray.
