Truly scary movies

[Halloween4Ever]

Hey guys,

I am looking for suggestions on movies that are actually scary and not just blood and gore.

I have seen alot of movies and most of them I haven't found scary at all.

I am looking for movie suggestions that will keep me on the edge of my seat.


Any suggestions?

First on my list is 'The Innocents' http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0055018/

It's a low budget, high quality story that might just make your skin crawl.

Thanks, that one sounded good. I've added it to my Netflix Queue.


Anyone else?

It depends what you mean by "Scary". There's people like me who find critic claim "Scarist Movie of The Year" to be quite boring. My wife & I own a library of Horror movies.

Tell us what you like in a Horror movies. It'll be easier to break them down for you.

Wasn't Saturday The 14th movie the scariest one?

[color=#FF80When I think of a movie that's actualy scary, these are the titles that I coe up with.

1. "The Haunting" The original. It's an old black & white made back in the early 60s, but it has plenty of thrills and chills.

2. "Don't Answer the Phone." This one may be a little harder to find. You might be able to score an old VHS copy, but I guarentee it will scare the beejeebers out of you..

3. "The Blair Witch Project." Many may disagree with me on this one, but I thought it was ne of the scariest movies of all time. I saw it at the theatres, and screaned it at home when it came out on DVD. My home viewing experience was actualy scarier, because I was alone in my old house, and ther ewere all kinds of noises.

4. "The Blair Witch Project 2" This was no match for the first installment, but had plenty of scary moments.

5. "Race With the Devil" This may also be a little harder to find, and you might have to blow the dust off your VCR, but there are some scary scenes, and plenty of car chase action in addition.

And those are the titles I could come up with off the top of my head on a moments notice. I'll be sure to come up with others, and I will post them when I do.

Chick flicks are pretty scary.

Poltergeist 1 and 2. The third part isn't really scary at all.

From my own collection:

The Omen: The anitchrist has arrived! And he's 5 years old. One of the creepiest, most suspenseful movies ever. You'll see why this is a classic.

The Exorcist: The spiderwalk, the projectile vomit, the crucifix rape. The best possession movie ever.

The Shining: Classic. The best ghost movie ever, this will have you on the edge of your seat, and sleeping with the lights on

Rosemary's Baby: One of the best movies ever from any genre, and one of the scariest movies of all time (with hardly any gore at all) its just one big scarefest! Personally, to me, this movie is the ultimate reason that the Omen was made, and I see the Omen as an inadvertent sequel.

Cujo: One of the scariest movies ever, you'll think differently of asking to pet strange dogs

Hellraiser: A Horror fan's horro movie. Unrelenting, unforgiving, unremorseful and downright gross.

Halloween: One of the most suspenseful horror movies ever, William Shatner masks have never been so terrifying

A Nightmare On Elm Street 1: When people sleep, and dream of dying, do we die in reality? Well only if Freddy gets us first!

Texas Chainsaw Massacre: Now we can rest safe, as we now know what's in the "mystery meat"! This horror classic will have you refusing hamburgers, and going to Texas for a long time.

American Werewolf In London: Guys goes to London. Gets Bitten by Wolf. Guy becomes werewolf. Guy kills friend. Guy can see the dead corpses of the people he kills. Downright scary!

Night of the Living Dead: One of the first zombie films, this looks more realistic then any of todays, which adds to the scariness. Absolutely classic.

Nosferatu: One of the oldest creepiest horror films out there, it will scare you in ways that you never thought possible. Silent film adds to the creepiness

The Thing: One of John Carpenter's best films, aliens take over bodies, and can genetically
duplicate any human it touches. Full of suspense, and downright awesome.

Re-Animator: Take Frankenstein, put it on steroids, add a ton of gore and special effects, and you won't sleep for 3 weeks.

The Last House On The Left: Just completely disturbing, make sure you watch the original.

Black Christmas: Classic. Demented killer living the attic of an old sorority house, that kills all who enter.

Amityville Horror I and II: Legendary, no matter whether you believe it happened or not, plenty scary.

The Hills Have Eyes: A family of circus freaks living in the mountains, killing and eating people who become lost. Need I say more.

Bad Ronald: You'll probably need to look this one up on ebay, but trust me, its worth it. Originally a made for TV horror in 1974, its amazing that something this good and scary wasn't bigger

A Clockwork Orange: Not really a horror movie, but I consider it to be one. One of the best home invasion movies ever.

Freaks: This one messed up movie. Made in 1932, its about carnival sideshow freaks (Uses real carnival freaks)

Wow! Never seen this Bad Roland! Is it good or what??

[shanda]

That movie "The Strangers" with Liv Tyler scared the S*%T out of me. Man! no gore, just creepy people staring! Damn! I am going to have to turn a light on just thinking about it.
It so could happen!!!

Wow! Never seen this Bad Roland! Is it good or what??

Yeah it is! I have it on VHS tapped from 1974 of it, and it is for a TV movie, quite good. I would say its TV friendly (back then) version of Psycho.

Nerd kid loves his sick mother. She pretty much controls his every move and plans for him to grow up to be a doctor so he can cure her. One day, after being humiliated while trying to talk to a girl, he comes home and accidentally kills his little sister and buries her in his back yard. He tells his mother, who is ok with it, and she helps him cover it up and hide, saying he ran away. Finally the mother dies, which sends him into a mental breakdown, and he hides in the home for a long time. Finally a new family moves in. He has been so long without human contact and food, that he starts making noises and stealing their food. He falls in love with the youngest girl, and kills all who gets in his way.

A really scary movie that has me on the edge of my seat is Cube. 6 random people are trapped in a maze, in a cube, they have to find their way out but there is traps and a conspiracy behind it, very scary.
