MOST SCARIEST MOVIES

Hi there, since Halloween is around the corner, what are your favorites? I caught the last 1/2hr. of top 100 scariest scenes this afternoon on Bravo. Hostil won no.1 Wish I would have seen the whole program.

Hi, Wendy,   I don't remember the name of this old black-and-white movie, because it was so long that I saw it.  But it had to be one of the scariest movies I've ever seen.   The setting is an old mansion in the countryside.  At night, something stalks the people of the mansion.  Terrified, they have locked themselves in their rooms, hugging each other while this thing, whatever it was—a creature, a ghost, or a demon—roams the corridors in the dark, the bulging doors straining to hold back the horror.   What made this movie so terrifying?  You never saw what was behind the doors.   Have a chilling Hallowe'en!   Jack

Hi Jack, It sounds like you're talking about the original movie called the Haunting. There has been a lame remake of it with Catherine Zeta Jones in it. It wasn't good. Wendy

The original Psycho scared the begeesus out of me. It was the first scary film I had ever seen which told a believable story. Also having the female star Janet Leigh, getting murdered in the opening scenes was a new and frightening twist. I had to cover my 18 year old eyes as the detective slowly climbed the staircase, and the camera shot from a crazy angle above the door at the top of the stairs. Ooooh!

By far the scariest (in my opinion) movie of all time has to be "The Exorcist". At 44yrs old, I still can't manage to watch that movie by myself. I remember in 1973 after watching that movie, my Mother immediately "tossed-out" an old "ouija" board we had in the shed.   Earl.

The scariest movie that I saw was  Rosemary's Baby.

I agree Exorcist, Poltergeist, CUJO   I remember watching the Invisible Man on TV with my sister and my mother - just as it got to a really scary part the wind picked up and our storm window blew in - scared the crap out of the 3 of us - I had been hiding my face in my mothers arm and when the aluminum window blew off its tracks I bit her - 3 screaming females. I dont like movies like Arachnaephobia or The Birds etc too real.

Yes, I agree, the Exorsist was one of the scariest for me back then. But now I like the Saw movies and Hostel. That's some scary crap. Wendy
