A friend and I want to watch a scary movie this week, but with both of us being in film, we can't think of any that we haven't seen. Any suggestions? Slasher or Suspense, it doesn't matter.

Glitter.

Downright horrifying.

Okay, besides the Glitter, Showgirls, Saved by the Bell in Hawaii movies.

Hmmm... Gigli?


In all seriousness, I remember getting pretty freaked by the movie "L.I.E.", though I don't remember what it was about. I don't think it was a 'horror' movie, but it was scary nonetheless.

I was also pretty freaked out by "Cocoon", but I think that was just because of my claustrophobia...

Easily, the original Stepford Wives! That one made my skin crawl! No blood and guts just suspence.

Wait Until Dark. At least at the time.

Lost Highway was a pretty freaky movie to me.

"The Exorcist" -- I was way too young to see it. Had nightmares for weeks.

I tried to watch "The Exorcist" a year or so ago. I got up to the part where Linda Blair starts to transform and I started going into convulsions and laughing/crying fits. I didn't stop twitching for about 15 minutes.

Gave my parents a good scare that night, too.

Children of the Corn. Of course, I was 16 at the time and actually lived amid corn

"Halloween."

I only got halfway through Children of the Corn. I was watching it with three other friends, and they kept laughing at everything. It wasn't really scary, but there was a kid who looked like he was an old man (which kinda freaked me out).

I thought The Ring was pretty scary, a lot of shock value in it, with not such a great plot. Had a hard time sleeping after watching it.

DEAD OF WINTER with Mary Steenburgen and Roddy McDowell.

Watch it alone and you will climb the walls.

The Blair Witch Project kind of freaks me out. I know it's not real, but the fact that it seems like it is because it's shot like a home movie, it's weird.

Get the DVD of JOY RIDE and watch it with the original ending. It's pretty cool. Not only is it suspenseful but you also get to see Paul Walker and Steve Zahn naked which is a feast for the eyes. It's scary cuz' it's not some phsyco killer in a mask it just a guy messing with them, cuz' they messed with him.

Also, Jeepers Creepers is awesome. It's not really scary it's just a great movie. And again Justin Long... woof! And the sequel isn't all that bad either... but these are a little main stream and you may have already seen them. Updated On: 5/30/04 at 06:30 PM

Ringu. the origional of the Ring.

DON'T LOOK NOW, directed by Nicolas Roeg, with Julie Christie and Donald Sutherland. It will haunt you for weeks. Set in winter Venice -- but that's all I'll say.

I actually think BLAIR WITCH is that rarity -- an "event" that lived up to the hype. The damned thing really is creepy, all the more so because it's all up to the mind of the viewer.

I'll be heading out to the video store in the morning for some of these.
Oh, and FYI - There are only 3 movies I consider to be absolute, 100% pieces of garbage. The first is Macaulay Culkin's THE GOOD SON. The second is that piece of ass movie UNBREAKABLE and the third is THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT. There was nothing scary about this. Plus the star of it, Heather what's her face, actually had the nerve to go on national TV and say that anyone in America who thought it was real was stupid and didn't deserve to see her film. Now, was it just me or did anyone else have reports on their local news stations talking about this rare film footage that is being released into theaters?
Anyways, you guys gave me some really good suggestions of films I've never seen. Thanks!

RE: Joyride---the movie would have been much more effective if the Paul Walker-Steve Zahn characters were middle-aged and out-of-shape. Their nude walk through the restaurant would have been FAR more humiliating and would have given the scene and the movie a POINT. As it stands, it's just another dumb, voyeuristic Hollywood product.

Well, I'd have to agree. If my body looked like Paul Walker's I would not be embarrassed at all walking naked through a restaurant. Nor would I have even bothered to cover myself, but it's still great to get to sit and admire those perfect male bodies. It was obviously the point of the whole film....

How could I forget: "Nosferatu"! Maybe a little less for the 21st century types scary but it did a number on me when I was 12!

You should watch 'The Shining' in an empty hotel.
