Since we did the most wrenching movies ever made, I thought we might as well do this. I still have to think about mine. Several of them are right up there. I'll post when I figure it out.

So... what movie(s) really chilled you to the core?

I know it looks like camp nonsense now but HUSH HUSH SWEET CHARLOTTE destroyed me when I was a tiny child.

Same here. The part where Drew's corpse descends the staircase is enough to give anyone nightmares.

Poltergeiest, to me, is the scariest, only because it traumatized me as a child.

Then there's that French movie "Dominique", where a man kept seeing his wife hanging in the hallway...


"Do you know what pledge time is, Andrew"? said the PBS Executive. "Yes", Lloyd Webber replied. "My 50th birthday special must be one program that gets done a lot." "No", mused the man from PBS heedlessy. "Not so much. Our Stephen Sondheim Carnegie Hall concert. That's a big one." Spoons, forks and knives seemed suddenly to suspend their motion in horror, all around the table.

Here are some of mine:

The Ring & The Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake - I know that (for some reason) a lot of people hate these two, but I found both to be really frightening. TCM03, in particular, was extremely intense.

Poltergeist - The clown-under-the-bed scene gets me every time.
The Exorcist - No explanation needed.
Rear Window - Paranoia thrillers have a special place in my heart.
The Haunting (1963) - Proof that you don't need special makeup or visual effects to induce nightmares. Are you listening, Jan De Bont?!
Ju-On: The Grudge - the American remake is good, too
Joy Ride - Overlooked movie. Very funny, but unusually creepy. Steve Zahn is amazing.
The Changeling - That staircase sequence... :shivers:
The Woman in Black

Hm... well, for its time, "The Exorcist" was definitely the scariest, freakiest, most terrifing movie. I still have a hard time watching it.

Other runner-ups:

The Ring
Nightmare on Elm Street (couldn't sleep for days!)

Definitely HALLOWEEN

Also...

Scream
Texas Chainsaw Massacre (remake)

Older movies just don't do it for me.

IT

seeing "IT" now it's pretty lame, but when I was 7 this movie freaked me out to no end...

also I love JEEPERS CREAPERS 2 because it's so homo erotic... especially the deleted scenes...

The original The Haunting kept me feeling creeped out for a long time. Also William Castle's The Tingler messed my head up as a kid. More recently the Ring freaked me out and just watching the trailers for the sequel get me scared even if they are short. There's more but that it all that I have now.

The Exorcist scared the crap out of me...especially the fact that Linda Blair is a friend of my mom's...she's even scarier in real life.

I think the original exorcist is really boring, except for some of the new scenes they put it when they re-released it in theaters. But, the one movie that traumatized me (And even got the babysitter fired) was A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET 3: DREAM WARRIORS. I was 8 or so and it was my first horror movie and I had the same nightmare for a week (I even remember every detail)and cried hysterically every night of that week.

One of my personal horror favorites is Dario Argento's "Suspiria," which is an excellent Italian thriller. It contains the most graphic murder scenes I've ever seen put onto celluloid. Check it out.
