I love the movie, but besides the part that really makes you jump, I didn't find it nearly as scary as any of the others you listed that I've seen. Great concept for sure, and definitely a forerunner of a lot of scary movies.

Neighbors video of their home birth, it was pretty rough.

MrF

10/23/14 10:26pm

Was it one of the hot tub births, where eventually the whole family ends up

Rusty Shackleford

10/23/14 10:33pm

Water would have at least provided some level of mystery.

MrF

10/23/14 10:39pm

Here are my top five:

Hambone

10/23/14 10:27pm

The Ring was definitely creepy. Stop watching VHS cold turkey after that one.

Supercoug

10/23/14 10:28pm

I watched Watcher in the Woods last night for the first time.

byujacob

10/23/14 10:29pm

yes, it is. As an adult it was meh.

jdub

10/23/14 10:32pm

Totally. I haven't seen it since I was probably 8 or 9. I'm sure that it

Hambone

10/23/14 10:33pm

I think you are right and my question is based on the first time you saw it

Tuskaloosa Cougar

10/23/14 10:38pm

I have not seen the fly but its on a bunch of top scary lists. Suspiria?

Tuskaloosa Cougar

10/23/14 10:37pm

My HCBW and I watched Freaks the other night. Unsettling to be sure.

Wait Until Dark is the scariest of those in your opinion?

cougfanblue

10/23/14 10:30pm

Worst "jump" I've ever had in a movie.

byujacob

10/23/14 10:31pm

I would probably agree with that. I just can't compare how scared I was...

cougfanblue

10/23/14 10:40pm

IT terrified me for years.

byujacob

10/23/14 10:47pm

Yep! Hiya Charlie, want a balloon?

Tuskaloosa Cougar

10/23/14 11:12pm

I love Rear Window. I actually am half way through it right now

jdub

10/23/14 10:34pm

did you watch the remake with Christopher Reeve after his accident?

icecougar

10/23/14 10:44pm

nope, only the Alfred Hitchcock one.

jdub

10/23/14 10:46pm

Wow impressive and a little obscure list. Watched wait until dark

Tuskaloosa Cougar

10/23/14 10:39pm

Session 9

purplmonkeydishwashr

10/23/14 10:43pm

That was a demented movie.

byujacob

10/23/14 10:48pm

Watched that earlier this month as well.

Tuskaloosa Cougar

10/23/14 10:54pm

The Ring. The Shining. In the Mouth if Madness.

Cougar-Duck

10/23/14 10:41pm

Shining is up there for sure and there is gem in the mouth of madness that is

Tuskaloosa Cougar

10/23/14 10:43pm

It's tough to say that any movie actually scared me,

purplmonkeydishwashr

10/23/14 10:29pm

almost...Olive Oyl makes me laugh and ruins it every time...otherwise agree.

boogers

10/23/14 10:34pm

Sure, she's a little odd, but the fact that she was having mental breakdowns

purplmonkeydishwashr

10/23/14 10:37pm

Signs

mottman

10/23/14 10:32pm

The Shining. No question, and YES, I know it was R rated....

cougar247

10/23/14 10:33pm

It was fantastic because it was mood, music, and style that made it so scary

Cougar-Duck

10/23/14 10:44pm

Haven't seen too many.

mr_thekid

10/23/14 10:37pm

Conjuring is one of the best horror movies I have seen if not top 3

Tuskaloosa Cougar

10/23/14 10:46pm

I watched it with subtitles, but I also don't know Spanish.

mr_thekid

10/24/14 12:45am

The original "when a stranger calls" and the original "changeling"

RalphWiggam

10/23/14 10:38pm

As a kid I liked "I Saw What You Did and I Know Who You Are"

jdub

10/23/14 10:38pm

Something Wicked This Way Comes

WJCougar

10/23/14 10:39pm

Rosemary's Baby is another good one.

purplmonkeydishwashr

10/23/14 10:41pm

this one gave me the chills as if something very cold entered the room

Tuskaloosa Cougar

10/23/14 10:52pm

Sixth Sense kept my spine tingling...

icecougar

10/23/14 10:42pm

Glad nobody listed Scary Movie...

icecougar

10/23/14 10:43pm

when I was a kid (before VHS) every year the Wizard of Oz would be on TV...

icecougar

10/23/14 10:46pm

A Fire in the Sky, Silence of the Lambs, Blair Witch Project,Paranormal Activity

messi

10/23/14 10:47pm

another that petrified me as a kid was Dracula with Bela Lugosi

icecougar

10/23/14 10:54pm

ds7

10/23/14 10:56pm

ooh yeah...gave me nightmares

icecougar

10/23/14 11:03pm

These aren't necessarily listed as scariest per-se, but some of my favorites...

DoctorWho

10/23/14 10:57pm

some credible lists have let the right one in on it. I will have to check that

Tuskaloosa Cougar

10/23/14 10:58pm

Let The Right One In is possibly my favorite movie (of any genre). I did watch

DoctorWho

10/23/14 11:01pm

Good to know

Halloween (1978), The Innocents (1961), and The Other (1972)

Marathon Man

10/23/14 11:00pm

Awesome! Another vote for Innocents. Glad I bought it and I am excited to watch

Tuskaloosa Cougar

10/23/14 11:19pm

another weirdly scary movie is "House on Haunted Hill"

icecougar

10/23/14 11:02pm

The original is a very different movie than the remake

squirrelyearl

10/23/14 11:08pm

There's also The Haunting of Hill House. Old version...

So it goes...

10/23/14 11:14pm

The Conjuring. So well done imo.

titlecoug

10/23/14 11:05pm

Yep it was everything I believe to good about scary movies

anyone seen these that I am curious about?

Tuskaloosa Cougar

10/23/14 11:05pm

Eraserhead is ok, but really really weird.

purplmonkeydishwashr

10/23/14 11:08pm

I've seen 3 of them.

byujacob

10/23/14 11:11pm

Appreciate it ByuJacob

Tuskaloosa Cougar

10/23/14 11:14pm

The Innocents, starring Deborah Kerr as a governess to two children.

Marathon Man

10/23/14 11:23pm

Martyrs is brutal, pretty scary, but a little too gruesome for me.

flavordave

10/24/14 8:38am

Has no one seen the Exorcist, or The Omen?

So it goes...

10/23/14 11:08pm

Yes both in my top 15

Tuskaloosa Cougar

10/23/14 11:11pm

Looks like there is a "The Omen" marathon tomorrow on AMC. I haven't seen them,

DoctorWho

10/23/14 11:18pm

Omen 1 is a must. Not sure about the others

Tuskaloosa Cougar

10/23/14 11:21pm

Exorcist screwed me up for a long time. I crept into my parents bedroom and

Tricky

10/23/14 11:40pm

When the Exorcist came out, it put Priests back in the exorcism business.

So it goes...

10/24/14 12:10am

"What Lies Beneath" with Harrison Ford....

beauso79

10/23/14 11:12pm

Great classic flick.
