Marathon Man

I didn't realize these films are as old as they are until I looked up the dates of their first release. In any case, they are still just as scary now as they were back then.

Poltergeist. Just typing it gives me the heebeegeebees.

Supercoug

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.

purplmonkeydishwashr

10/23/14 10:38pm

Okay cool!

Tuskaloosa Cougar

Never Ending Story

RunningQB

10/23/14 10:27pm

1. Wait Until Dark.

byujacob

10/23/14 10:28pm

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

jaws

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.

Tuskaloosa Cougar

Deliverance

RisinUp

10/24/14 12:11am

That guy in your gif could be related to those hillbillies...

So it goes...

10/24/14 12:15am

Still get creeped out by Watcher in the Woods.

vacougfan

10/24/14 7:09am

Easy
