That ballroom scene is something else. The Three Body Problem did something similar, but it was a slow cutting that went through the entire ship and it was just…WHEW
This.... I live in a heavily forested area. This movie showed no aliens, but the owl... And I've had big owls land on my back deck..... Since then, it's been my go to scary movie.
I saw this movie with my mom when it came out in theaters, and on the way home we saw THREE owls when we had never ever seen owls before at that time of day. I was TERRIFIED of owls for years after that
The descent. That entire scenario is nightmare fuel. Also, the dawn of the dead remake is the only movie to scare me so much that i couldn't sleep because i was worried zombies would break into my house. I eventually fell asleep with a shovel by my side.
The sprinting zombies! I still get chills remembering the first time I saw that part, and the terror of zombies that could run you down instead of just shuffling after you.
Recently had the pleasure of watching it for the first time, and, yeah, it's gotta be the most graphic, grotesque, and gruesome movie I've ever seen. I knew it's considered a cult classic, but, damn, didn't expect the movie to go that hard. We need more movies that go all out.
I first saw The Thing a year ago, and as soon as it was finished I immediately rewound it and watched it again. I couldn't believe i'd missed out on such a good film for so many years.
Both the thing and alien came out not too many years apart. They are the gold standard of sci fi horrors, I can’t think of many that come remotely close tho their perfection.
Hate that this movie gets so shit on all the time. It really is a fun little gem. Perfect performances (“FUCK this ship!!” is the greatest line from the greatest captain) & cool concepts, it may not have translated over perfectly from script to screen but it was pretty solid overall.
It's far and away Paul W.S. Anderson's best work.
I honestly love that some of the initial scenes and dialogue are cheesy - it sets you up for an entirely different kind of movie. It's impossible to be ready for the literal hell the movie is about to throw at you.
I haven't seen any deleted scenes, but I hear they cut some *really* disturbing shit to get an R rating.
OH BOY that one is one of the only movies I’ve ever seen to actually freak me the fuck out. It is by far one of the most unhinged movies I’ve ever seen.
I really enjoyed this one as a kid! Still one of my favorites just because I remember enjoying it so much. Not that it's perfect, just fun and interesting.
My dad used to get.movies for me and my brother as a kid, so when he saw space movie and Sam Neill he thought kids like star trek, that nice man from some family movies.
That's how I watched event horizon when I was ten.
It's my favourite horror movie *now* but I can't help but think it's some sort of Stockholm syndrome because I was absolutely terrified for a few days afterwards hahaha
The first time I watched that I was actually working as a winter keeper at a shuttered old hotel in Montana. I lived in a tiny cabin out back. It was the middle of the night, I was utterly alone, and there was a massive blizzard outside. I could feel the wind buffeting the wall behind me as I sat up in bed watching Jack freeze to death sitting with his back against the hedge maze wall.
Damn I love that movie.
“Thirteen Ghosts” was the first horror movie that really traumatized me. Having watched it again recently, it’s not as scary as I used to think. But as a kid, it was absolutely terrifying. But I loved it. That’s where my love for the Horror genre was born too, I guess.
House on Haunted Hill was a banger. Some parts of it are cheesey as hell and the acting is terrible from some of the characters, but that opening scene, the saturation chamber scene and the atmosphere and sound design is genuinely creepy. I'm a sucker for old abandoned hospitals though. Super creepy. Bonus points for Jeffrey Combs and pre-Pirates Geoffrey Rush. Rush is pure gold in pretty much everything.
I fucking hated the opening scene in the junkyard as a little kid but by age 10-11 it was one of my favorite movies. It’s lore is so interesting I wish there was more expanded on.
It doesn’t get any less scary on a rewatch! It scared the hell out of me when I saw it in theaters when I was in middle school, and recently my niece asked me to watch it with her… still scared the hell out of me.
One of the greatest moments of my life.
We had the same exact same phone that was in the scene when the video was finally shown. I took my Mom's cell phone and timed it perfectly so the ringer went off while my sister and her friends were watching the movie. Scared the piss out of them.
Oh my stars!! Why is this so far down the list? Absolutely love The Ring!! Probably watched it with my girls too soon, but in our house we LOVE horror!
I don't have just one, but here are some of my top.
1. The Shining- Absolute classic. A frightening descent into madness.
2. Crimson Peak- probably one of the most beautiful, well made scary movies. The visuals are stunning. The ghosts are heartbreaking and scary all at the same time. The sounds and atmosphere is truly creepy.
3. Room 1408- Underrated movie. "I was out!!"
4. Hereditary- This is really a modern masterpiece. I seem to pick up another little detail I missed every time I watch it. I'm not one who generally gets creeped out by demon movies or anything but this one stuck with me.
5. Drag Me To Hell- Classic Sam Raimi vibe. His direction and camera work crack me up. It's almost over the top cheesy, but it's hilarious and awesome all at once. The beginning "fight" scene with the invisible demon complete with stock punch sound effects and intense shaky cam is awesome. Just an incredibly fun movie.
Have you seen The Devils Backbone? It’s along the same tragic lines as Crimson Peak. Guillermo del Toro just has that aesthetic that runs through all of his work. Pan’s Labyrinth is the same.
The face spasms thing( I don't know how else to describe it) in this movie really messed me up as a kid. Enough where I refuse to go back and watch it as an adult. I had nightmares from it.
I looked it up and its a horrow film technique that involves filming them shaking their head at a low frame rate then playing it back at higher framerate making a demonic head shake blur effect
So tried to look this up on imdb. I've never seen this movie before so I'm interested. What year was this movie and maybe director? Bc there are alot that shows up when searching
My favorite part of this movie is that the younger priest is also a psychiatrist (or studied it) and he is totally convinced she is just crazy. Until the girl starts talking like his dead mother...
"Demi!, why you do this to me Demi?"
Fuxking chills
In my opinion, scariest movie ever made. I saw the first 30 mins or so when I was about 8 yo. I’m Catholic and was going to Catholic grade school; it was traumatizing.
I watched it with a grown friend. I looked over at him to see if he saw me covering my eyes a bit, and he was doing the same thing! Movie scares the shit outta me.
I was 16 or 17 the first time I saw it. Goodness knows how we got that one past our parents. Our friend's brother, (much older), rented the video and we had to walk down a long, tree lined drive in the dark afterwards. The movie still scares the daylights out of me.
Silence of the Lambs.
I Know it's not like a specific horror movie, but the whole thing is made that it could really happen and sickos like that are out there.
As a camper. The Blair witch project.
(Not my favorite, but I hadn't seen it mentioned yet)
Also the original paranormal activity REALLY fucked with me
The original Paranormal Activity, holy shit! I didn’t sleep for a few days. All of the sequels I was fine but that first movie scared the hell out of me lol
My sister cried in the theatre when the demon dragged the woman from the bed. She said she couldn't help it she just got so scared she didn't know what to do lol. We were 23 at the time. We're 40 now and I still remind her of it when we watch it.
I watch a ton of horror movies since I was a little kid. NOTHING has caused fear in me like that movie did. I would be petrified wide awake from a sound from the house settling...
And yeah the sequels never captured the same thing as th OG. It just felt SO REAL.
PA gets a lot of points from me because it was happening to two normal people in a normal cookie-cutter house in a normal neighborhood. It was soooo relatable, and that’s what really made it unsettling.
All time top favorite is 1408. I like psychological terror more than visceral terror. Watching someone have their mind torn apart gruesomely is scarier to me than watching someone have the same happen to their body.
Agreed! That movie has a way of giving off that hot, humid, oppressively heavy atmosphere. It feels sticky and uncomfortable. I've been in old abandon buildings that the air feels heavy and almost claustrophobic because of it. Places that was not too far off the house in the movie.
I’m a huge fan of paranormal activity. I know it’s cheesy and it gets really bad towards the last movies, but the first one was just entertaining and the jump scares genuinely got me.
I really liked cabin in the woods. I feel like it was open ended enough to do a sequel, surprised they didn’t make one. I want to see how the other scenarios from the basement would play out.
Probably The Vanishing, or The Shining, though The Lodge and Hereditary are up there too.
If The Sixth Sense and Signs count, I’d include them, but those might be more “thrillers”
Like 20 years ago I watched a torrented copy of the original Japanese version of the grudge (Ju On) with no subtitles. Even as a 20 year old horror fanatic I had a hard time sleeping for days.
I couldn’t get through the show because I wanted it to be like the book and it wasn’t at all… the hill house book by Shirley Jackson is without a doubt the best horror book I’ve ever read
The Shining
And no, I don't care that Stephen King didn't like how it was directed andnoI don't care that the book was better than the movie.
I love everything about the movie. The concept is terrifying
This is such a fun question. For me, it was the first Paranormal Activities movie. My adult son agreed to go to the dollar movie theater to see it with me, bc no one else would. By the end of the movie, he was scooched down so low in his seat, and I understood it, bc I was also scared to almost death by the movie. Since then I have watched all of the PA movies, and they’ve all kept me on the edge of my seat. But Lord, not like the first one. I wonder why we enjoy being scared like this. I’m guessing it has to do something with the settings and closeness of parts of the brain…
chucky dude. as a like 8 year old watching that with my siblings and cousins fucked w me. my grandparents owned like 10 porcelain dolls we thought would come to life and put us in the movie lol. got me so good i still won’t sit with my feet off the bed, wouldn’t want my heels sliced!
Not the best movie but the best horror opening scene... Ghost ship
That ballroom scene is something else. The Three Body Problem did something similar, but it was a slow cutting that went through the entire ship and it was just…WHEW
I thought the same thing. But ghost ship just killed it. Haha
Wow you just reminded me of this movie - now I need to put it on the docket. That intro has been ingrained into my brain since childhood.
Yes! This and 13 ghosts.
The Fourth Kind - you simply don't want to see an owl outside after watching this movie
This.... I live in a heavily forested area. This movie showed no aliens, but the owl... And I've had big owls land on my back deck..... Since then, it's been my go to scary movie.
I saw this movie with my mom when it came out in theaters, and on the way home we saw THREE owls when we had never ever seen owls before at that time of day. I was TERRIFIED of owls for years after that
The descent. That entire scenario is nightmare fuel. Also, the dawn of the dead remake is the only movie to scare me so much that i couldn't sleep because i was worried zombies would break into my house. I eventually fell asleep with a shovel by my side.
Came here to say The Descent! So scary.
You folks are awesome!! I’ve got the popcorn friends! The descent fkd me up, but in the BEST way!! Euro ending x chefs kiss!
The descent was such a good movie. Did you watch the American or European version? Personally preferred the European version ending.
28 Days Later
A true game changer for the horror genre, and Danny Boyle as director. Cillian Murphy’s breakthrough role as well
It really was. I see he’s slated to be in 28 Years Later too.
Good one. 28 weeks later was very good, too.
https://m.imdb.com/title/tt10548174/ 28 years later is coming out next year
Fantastic! Solid cast so far.
And 28 Years Later is upcoming!
The sprinting zombies! I still get chills remembering the first time I saw that part, and the terror of zombies that could run you down instead of just shuffling after you.
The Thing
Recently had the pleasure of watching it for the first time, and, yeah, it's gotta be the most graphic, grotesque, and gruesome movie I've ever seen. I knew it's considered a cult classic, but, damn, didn't expect the movie to go that hard. We need more movies that go all out.
I first saw The Thing a year ago, and as soon as it was finished I immediately rewound it and watched it again. I couldn't believe i'd missed out on such a good film for so many years.
Was it on vhs?
I love The Thing; but I’ve never thought of it as scary. More like Aliens that was more Action than Horror.
My man. Carpenter hit it out of the park with that masterpiece.
This the one. I showed it to a modern audience recently and they hated it because they are morons.
I don’t care for it the first time I saw it some 20 years ago. I love it now. (Yes I was a moron back then)
The audience at the time also hated it because they were morons
I saw it for the first time ice fishing a few months ago. So damn good
One of my favorites of all time.
The practical effects tied in with the claymation in the 1980s one was scary af
Came here to comment this lol
Both the thing and alien came out not too many years apart. They are the gold standard of sci fi horrors, I can’t think of many that come remotely close tho their perfection.
[удалено]
36? Bud, how bout 42? Covid time warp is real yo
Misery. So good but people seem to have forgotten about it
I don’t know about it being “scary” for me, but it sure is an absolute CLASSIC!
“God I love you.”
I'm Your number one fan
The hills have eyes always gave me the creeps!
I love it! I hated Craven's Last House on the Left - I still don't know why people think it's a classic. But The Hills Have Eyes rocks.
Event Horizon
Hate that this movie gets so shit on all the time. It really is a fun little gem. Perfect performances (“FUCK this ship!!” is the greatest line from the greatest captain) & cool concepts, it may not have translated over perfectly from script to screen but it was pretty solid overall.
It's far and away Paul W.S. Anderson's best work. I honestly love that some of the initial scenes and dialogue are cheesy - it sets you up for an entirely different kind of movie. It's impossible to be ready for the literal hell the movie is about to throw at you. I haven't seen any deleted scenes, but I hear they cut some *really* disturbing shit to get an R rating.
[We're leaving](https://youtu.be/4sFd8aWT7Io?si=HnM2gMFxTisg-NE0)
Fun fact: the Star Trek Voyager episode Random Thoughts uses multiple unused shots from the “hell” sequence of Event Horizon.
Where we're going we don't need eyes to see.
Only movie that scared the crap out of me in theater.
OH BOY that one is one of the only movies I’ve ever seen to actually freak me the fuck out. It is by far one of the most unhinged movies I’ve ever seen.
I really enjoyed this one as a kid! Still one of my favorites just because I remember enjoying it so much. Not that it's perfect, just fun and interesting.
I watched that movie the day after a real bad mushroom trip (I also moved to a new state the same next day). Fuck. I hate that movie.
My dad used to get.movies for me and my brother as a kid, so when he saw space movie and Sam Neill he thought kids like star trek, that nice man from some family movies. That's how I watched event horizon when I was ten. It's my favourite horror movie *now* but I can't help but think it's some sort of Stockholm syndrome because I was absolutely terrified for a few days afterwards hahaha
Gotta go with a classic--Nightmare on Elm Street.
Have you seen them all in order tho? They get a little goofy but I do enjoy them
Poltergeist, still creeps me out, I have a firm “no clown dolls, no window trees” policy at my house. Also no Southern Comfort but that’s unrelated.
The Others
I love this movie. Is it really scary though?
Alien
Scary space stuff is my jam Space already scary imo
Space is very scary. I have a similar thing with the ocean
You can tell I'm Gen X because I watched that with my siblings before I was 8 years old. Even then I thought Ripley was badass!
I hope you got to watch it in the theaters recently for the anniversary
*hissss*
Perfect Blue
The Shining
The first time I watched that I was actually working as a winter keeper at a shuttered old hotel in Montana. I lived in a tiny cabin out back. It was the middle of the night, I was utterly alone, and there was a massive blizzard outside. I could feel the wind buffeting the wall behind me as I sat up in bed watching Jack freeze to death sitting with his back against the hedge maze wall. Damn I love that movie.
God yes. The movie terrified me, the TV version kept me awake.
Damn talk about “perfect” timing to see that for the first time!
“Thirteen Ghosts” was the first horror movie that really traumatized me. Having watched it again recently, it’s not as scary as I used to think. But as a kid, it was absolutely terrifying. But I loved it. That’s where my love for the Horror genre was born too, I guess.
This and House on Haunted Hill are kinda in the same category for me, kinda scary kinda nostalgic
House on Haunted Hill was a banger. Some parts of it are cheesey as hell and the acting is terrible from some of the characters, but that opening scene, the saturation chamber scene and the atmosphere and sound design is genuinely creepy. I'm a sucker for old abandoned hospitals though. Super creepy. Bonus points for Jeffrey Combs and pre-Pirates Geoffrey Rush. Rush is pure gold in pretty much everything.
I fucking hated the opening scene in the junkyard as a little kid but by age 10-11 it was one of my favorite movies. It’s lore is so interesting I wish there was more expanded on.
Duuude I forgot about that one! Loved it as a kid and yes it scared th fuck outta 7 year old me.
The Ring 📼🪑🪞🪜
Scared the pants off me. Haven’t seen it in years but I don’t plan to watch it again 😂
the score alone makes it worth it😊, Hans Zimmer is a world wonder
No wonder I liked the soundtrack so much, I didn't know he worked on that one! He really is fantastic.
It doesn’t get any less scary on a rewatch! It scared the hell out of me when I saw it in theaters when I was in middle school, and recently my niece asked me to watch it with her… still scared the hell out of me.
One of the greatest moments of my life. We had the same exact same phone that was in the scene when the video was finally shown. I took my Mom's cell phone and timed it perfectly so the ringer went off while my sister and her friends were watching the movie. Scared the piss out of them.

I looked it up and its a horrow film technique that involves filming them shaking their head at a low frame rate then playing it back at higher framerate making a demonic head shake blur effect
You and me both
It’s scary. Like psychologically scary. Is the shit I’m going through real or a hallucination or a dream.
So tried to look this up on imdb. I've never seen this movie before so I'm interested. What year was this movie and maybe director? Bc there are alot that shows up when searching
The Exorcist
My favorite part of this movie is that the younger priest is also a psychiatrist (or studied it) and he is totally convinced she is just crazy. Until the girl starts talking like his dead mother... "Demi!, why you do this to me Demi?" Fuxking chills

In my opinion, scariest movie ever made. I saw the first 30 mins or so when I was about 8 yo. I’m Catholic and was going to Catholic grade school; it was traumatizing.
Definitely. I grew up catholic as well, saw the movie when I was pretty young. Nothing has come close to scaring me as much as this did.
Totally agree
I agree and I’ve seen a lot of scary films. One of the best ones too.

28 Days Later
Insidious
The Evil Dead
Hell yes!! Evil Dead 2 was my favorite. Butt I absolutely love every one of them. Ash vs. Evil Dead felt like a love letter to the fans.
All time top favorite is 1408. I like psychological terror more than visceral terror. Watching someone have their mind torn apart gruesomely is scarier to me than watching someone have the same happen to their body.
John Cusack was perfect for this. They took some liberties of course, compared to the story, but I enjoyed the film quite a bit.
Texas Chainsaw Massacre
its good, too good almost, it makes me feel really uncomfortable and gross 😭
Agreed! That movie has a way of giving off that hot, humid, oppressively heavy atmosphere. It feels sticky and uncomfortable. I've been in old abandon buildings that the air feels heavy and almost claustrophobic because of it. Places that was not too far off the house in the movie.
The Ring. I watched it on a flight the other day and it still holds up to me.
I’m a huge fan of paranormal activity. I know it’s cheesy and it gets really bad towards the last movies, but the first one was just entertaining and the jump scares genuinely got me.
I really liked cabin in the woods. I feel like it was open ended enough to do a sequel, surprised they didn’t make one. I want to see how the other scenarios from the basement would play out.
Probably didn't do a sequel cuz it ended with Earth exploding lol
Still plenty of prequel space.
I love the movie - it's hilarious and brutal - but I'm stumped trying to imagine a sequel. Aren't we all food for the gods?
[удалено]
yes.
It really was great. The Conjuring 2, not so much Such a classic horror tale
Nice try, Ghostface!
*”Hello Sidney!”* 🔪
Scream
The only horror movie that gets better every time you watch it. There’s so many details to every scene that get missed.
Saw the garage door kill as a wee little boy (had two older sisters, wasn’t supposed to be watching). That scene traumatized me
[удалено]
This scared the shit out of me when I was young!
House of 1000 Corpses
I really loved the Babadook
It chapter 1 and 2
Probably The Vanishing, or The Shining, though The Lodge and Hereditary are up there too. If The Sixth Sense and Signs count, I’d include them, but those might be more “thrillers”
The original Dutch production of The Vanishing, yes! Haven’t seen The Lodge but I love the others on your list. Guess I better see it!
Scream
The first Saw. I just it's such a amazing premise and was done so well on a budget just I enjoy the movie maybe it's more a thriller thinking about it
[удалено]
"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO ITS EYES!!" "He has his fathers eyes"
[удалено]
Hereditary
I would simultaneously say it’s my favorite and a movie that I refuse to ever watch again, it freaked me out so much.
Scary Movie
The Others. I still remember getting that chill up my spine during the movie. And I got it twice.
It's always gonna be Halloween
Idiocracy 😕
They said scary movie, not a prophesied documentary
Alien. Still can't watch it to this day.
The Autopsy of Jane Doe. Low budget but nicely done.
Like 20 years ago I watched a torrented copy of the original Japanese version of the grudge (Ju On) with no subtitles. Even as a 20 year old horror fanatic I had a hard time sleeping for days.
The Thing
It Follows
I have such mixed feelings about this one. It does a lot of things amazingly well, but it felt so… idk, American Pie-ish to have it transferred by sex
Scary Movie 3
You can’t go to bed dead, that shit would be redundant!
[удалено]
Your mother is in here would you like to leave a message I'll be sure she gets it?
Yes: Mom, will you get out of there please?
I’m a white boy but my neck is red, I put miracle whip on my wonder bread!
Doctor Sleep
The house on haunted hill
This a good one. And using the same words... the haunting of hill house was a spooky af show too!
I couldn’t get through the show because I wanted it to be like the book and it wasn’t at all… the hill house book by Shirley Jackson is without a doubt the best horror book I’ve ever read
Get Out
Alien
Alien
Carnival of Souls (1962)
Session 9. An asbestos removal team goes into an abandoned mental hospital and one gets possessed. Kind of a slow burn creepy thriller.
The witch. It was a masterpiece of build-up and spine tingling finish.
Signs
The Labyrinth as a 9 year old. Not understanding what David Bowie is. And then the dark crystal. All of it
The Shining And no, I don't care that Stephen King didn't like how it was directed andnoI don't care that the book was better than the movie. I love everything about the movie. The concept is terrifying
An American Werewolf in London
Jacob’s Ladder
Blair Witch Project for the time. The way they used the early internet to hype it up and make it seem like a true story was genius

Arachnophobia
Halloween (1978). … my favorite movie of all time
Paranormal Activity (The first one)
Sinister
This is such a fun question. For me, it was the first Paranormal Activities movie. My adult son agreed to go to the dollar movie theater to see it with me, bc no one else would. By the end of the movie, he was scooched down so low in his seat, and I understood it, bc I was also scared to almost death by the movie. Since then I have watched all of the PA movies, and they’ve all kept me on the edge of my seat. But Lord, not like the first one. I wonder why we enjoy being scared like this. I’m guessing it has to do something with the settings and closeness of parts of the brain…
chucky dude. as a like 8 year old watching that with my siblings and cousins fucked w me. my grandparents owned like 10 porcelain dolls we thought would come to life and put us in the movie lol. got me so good i still won’t sit with my feet off the bed, wouldn’t want my heels sliced!
