Well with Halloween around the corner here is a good poll.  I'm not really into horror movies much anymore but when I was a kid I saw the Exorcist!  Couldn't sleep all night!  That had to be the scariest movie I've ever seen...and it's on tonight on 2 channels.  :o

I also like poltergest movies too....... **cough** but I know someone who was freaked out the ring... couldnt figure out why he was afraid of it though ???

There is nothing "scarey" about the ring.

I am a big fan of horror movies, especially the early ones from the 30s, 40s, 50s, you know them..the original Frankenstein, Wolfman, Mummy, Bride of Frankenstein, etc.  All of them are being shown on cable channels through next week, so I'll probably plan my life around the TV for a while. 

Since none of the previously mentioned are on the list, I chose "Halloween", and "Nightmare on Elm St".  The 1st movie in each of these series was the greatest.  After that, downhill............

Might I also mention "The Birds"....Doug

My mother read "The Exorcist" and took my sister and I to see it in 1973. I was 11 years old at the time. Anyone my age or older will tell you "The Exorcist" was groundbreaking in its' time. I don't think mom realized how intense this movie was, or she would have never taken us to begin with. I remember sitting in the theatre, horrified during the entire movie. It scared the hell out of me. I slept with the light turn on in my bedroom for at least a week.

I really don't like those "slasher" movies. I use to when I was a teenager. I guess I outgrew them. I do like the old Dracula and Werewolf movies.

I really liked "Interview With The Vampire" too. I thought it was a classic. I love Anne Rice novels.   8)

I watched "Riding The Bullet" a couple of months ago. That's another one... scared the crap out of me. David Arquette did a very convincing job portraying George Staub. It didn't really scare me all that much while I was watching it. It scared me afterwards.

Silence of the Lambs was pretty creepy too.

The Shining - I saw it only once and refused to see it ever since.

I saw the Exorcist for the first time about two years ago and didn't find it creepy at all. But I sure ask myself what they are doing to the children involved into such movies. I know actually filming a scene is quite different from watching it, but still.

The Omen - that one I liked, too, but didn't find it particulary creepy.

Carrie - the whole movie wasn't scary at all, but *the* one scene really did it for me- gosh, I jumped. But this effect works only when you see the movie for the first time.
