stoney321Look. I love horror movies. LOVE. love scary stories, love it. Love that feeling of fear. It took me a few minutes to see it in this picture and then I jumped.
DO YOU SEE HER?
DO YOU SEE? (Note: it seems this picture was taken in the "Amittyville Horror" house and is something that "lived" there. Awesome.)
Ack! Took me by surprise, that's all. :) I'm watching Hellraiser later for some BDSM fun later, whee! ;)
Oooh, just because I'm booooored: scariest movies for me of all time, in order from least to scariest:
1. Psycho, and if this movie doesn't freak you out in places, even though it's old, you're not paying close enough attention. Seriously, though, when Bates is in the police station, smiling and that fly is crawling all over his hand and that voice over of "his mother?" Jeebus.
2. Poltergiest, again, I have no belief in ghosts. BUT. That clown! There's not a person around that's a Gen-Xer that isn't terrified of that clown in particular. And at the end when the mom is trying to get to CarolAnn and the room telescopes? GAH. Child in peril = I'm a mess.
3. Ils [Them], and I just saw this the other day. This is the French movie that "The Strangers" was based on, which I didn't see. Oh my GOD, this feels REAL. They have a hoax that "this movie is based on real events" but it's not.... really. The creepy noisemaker that one kid has and AUGH. Frighteningly awesome.
4. The Exorcist, the BOOK, mostly. Oh my god, it's the weird thing the demon does to her body, I'm not actually afraid of Satan, whom I don't believe in. Just... that crab walk on the ceiling?! (That's in the book.) Yeesh.
5. Rear Window, NO WAIT. No. Okay, that movie has one of the most terrifying moments in movie history, when Grace Kelly is across the courtyard looking for a ring, or any kind of evidence, and Jimmy Stewart is completely immobilized, LITERALLY paralyzed (from fear, too) and hiding in the shadows and Ray Bradbury looks straight across the courtyard and right through the binocular lenses and HE'S CAUGHT and oh my god, that gives me chills. God, that's a great movie.
6. The Grudge 2 (either version, and just this one scene) when she's attacked in her BED under her COVERS where you are supposed to be SAFE, oh my Jesus that I don't believe in, it's IN BETWEEN HER LEGS. Holy sheep shit. And that face appearing in the glass while she's riding down on the elevator??!?!
7. THE RING. Gah. The herky-jerky movements out of the TV, things that move fast that don't look like they'll move fast freak me the hell out, see: Zelda in "Pet Semetary" a so so movie, but Zelda with her creepy back and disease AUUUUUGH.
8. HANDS DOWN THE MOST FRIGHTENING MOVIE EVER. Texas Chainsaw Massacre. a) Most of it happens in the DAYTIME. b) The crack on the head with a ballpeen hammer, the guy twitching on the floor in death throes, and the SLAM of the corregated metal door. c) The girl tripping and landing on a killing floor, being HUNG UP ALIVE on a meat hook, being SHOVED INTO A MEAT LOCKER, STILL ALIVE and D) the most frightening bit in the whole damn thing: As the main girl is being chased by Leatherface, at one point she's running white-eyed and freaked RIGHT AT THE CAMERA. And you can see Leatherface GAINING on her. Which means he's gaining on YOU. Every time I see that scene I yell out, TURN RIGHT!! GO THAT WAY!!! Ahahahaha.
Okay, that's all I can think of on short notice, feel free to tell me yours. :) And now I'm not so freaked by that picture. I am, however, holding my hand over my computer screen to block it. Hee. <3
This post brought to you by my own boredom and refusal to do something constructive, like shampoo the carpets.

I love that feeling, too. Thank you for sharing. :D

Fabulous list! Although I think you mean Raymond Burr in Rear Window? (But I do LOVE the idea of TERRIFYING HOMICIDAL RAY BRADBURY...)

Date: 2009-06-15 06:20 pm (UTC)Shampooing carpets is horrible and boring, that's why I hire someone to do it for me.
no subject
Date: 2009-06-15 06:23 pm (UTC)I really don't scare easily, but The Descent (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0435625/) absolutely terrified me. I think it was one of the best horror films I've seen in years... and I make a habit of trying to catch all of them. XD I agree with you on Psycho, ohgod.
no subject
Date: 2009-06-15 06:23 pm (UTC)Scariest for me is the original "The Haunting." When it turns out Julie Harris' hand is being held by a ghost or something. That entire movie I was on the edge of my seat.
"The Innocents" also freaked me out.

Date: 2009-06-15 06:25 pm (UTC)You know, I don't think I've seen EITHER of those movies! What's wrong with me!? I'll add those post haste. (Ohh, I can't think of this one creepy Korean movie with two sisters and creepy periods and a something under the sink's cabinet - like, where a kickboard would be. It's TOO SMALL for a person how is she THERE?!?!?) Ack.
I'm going to Netflix RIGHT NOW. (Ooooh, and I should add the last few minutes of The Audition, too. That's more horrifying and gross than flat out scary, though.)

Date: 2009-06-15 06:26 pm (UTC)OH MY GOD HOW COULD I FORGET THAT ONE!!! I knew NOTHING about it, too. I thought it was a claustrophobia movie, which was scary enough, and then OH DEAR GOD WHAT IS BEHIND HER?!? Dang, that's a good one!

Date: 2009-06-15 06:27 pm (UTC)Bah, but I have a shampooer! I'm just bored - I've never been away from my kids in my house like this and I'm finding that I don't know what to do with myself...

Date: 2009-06-15 06:31 pm (UTC)Oh man, seeing things in night vision is creepy enough, but when it's DEAR GOD THAT THING IS NOT RIGHT!! it's even better.

Date: 2009-06-15 06:33 pm (UTC)Agreeeeed. Not enough films make proper use of the night vision and the glowy eyes (ala your photo up there, holy crap).
...I cannot stop staring at your icon. Just. Wow.

Date: 2009-06-15 06:41 pm (UTC)I would have to say Poltergeist scared me the most, although I also got thoroughly traumatized by Candyman and The Ring and even The Blair Witch Project. My stupid overactive imagination gets the best of me on all these movies and it's scary times in my brain afterwards. I never even chanced Nightmare on Elm Street for fear I'd never be able to sleep again. Hee.

Date: 2009-06-15 06:44 pm (UTC)Oh my GOODNESS, the very very end of The Blair Witch Project SCARRED me - who didn't play those games, you know? And the creepy handprints, EEEEK.
Nightmare on Elm Street scared me so badly when I first saw it - it's so bloody, and I think that was the first "slasher" film I'd ever seen. Yikes.
LET US WATCH THE BOX CAT ON CUTE OVERLOAD TO FEEL BETTERS!

Date: 2009-06-15 06:46 pm (UTC)I don't actually remember the whole movie being all that scary, but there are two moments in Exorcist 3 (also both during the daytime) that I adore. The first is the long hallway shot where the nurse suddenly appears and crosses the screen with the GIANT PAIR OF SCISSORS. The second is when they're in the asylum or the old hospital or whatever it is (it's been 20 years since I saw this movie) and you see someone crawl/skitter across the ceiling in the background. Nnngh. Love.
ETA: Oh -- Amityville, the book. At the end, when they're in the car and far away from the house and they think they've gotten away and then-- the flies. *shudder*

Date: 2009-06-15 06:52 pm (UTC)I find myself talking to the people on screen too, telling them NO, Go That Way...or whatever it is that needs to be done. It doesn't matter that I know they can't hear me, it is an irrational need.
no subject
Date: 2009-06-15 06:53 pm (UTC)...not unlike jokes, it tends to not be scary when you have to explain. Eh.
I've been inundated with spam-bots, so I've had to screen everyone not on my flist.
