The Shining--The Excorcist and a little known ghost story/mystery w/ george C. Scott called The Changeling. I heard that they're going to re-make it. NOT happy about that............................
So that the lack of a sense of humor doesn't kill an excellent thread>.>
I'd have to go with the usuals, Exorcist, The Changeling and The Shining still freak me out, probably because I was young and freaked out when I first saw them and not so blase as I am now. Psycho also made me wipe the soap out of my eyes 20 times per shower when I was younger.
The Entity also creeped me out. I think it was mostly because the woman was sexually assaulted by the being and there was really nothing she could do about it. Overall, it's kind of a crappy film, but it definitely made me a little wierded out.
In the last few years it's been more of a scenes thing with, mostly, Asian horror.
Ummm I would have to say that the scariest movie I have ever seen would have to be "The Ring" or maybe "Pet Cemetary" although I cant watch "The Exorcist" alone I get the hebie jebies!
Oh man, Pet Cemetary. I'd forgotten that one, but you're right. Being a mom that movie messed with me on a bunch of different levels. Same with Dawn of the Dead for the same reason. I think I'd have to let my kid eat me, I don't think I could take him out. Maybe put him in a cage and play video games with him like in Shaun of the Dead...lol.
The scariest movie I have seen was a movie we taped at an after hours party with some groupies...oops....never mind about that...I think Stephen King's IT still freaks me out each time I watch it...damn clowns anyway...hehe
