>When I was a kid. After that, more just creeps.
when i was a little kid and a scene would scare me i'd either pause it (when alone) or start moving away from the TV (when people were around)
now my eyes just start to water like crazy. not crying... just like when a yawn causes your eyes to endlessly water...
it's weird. probably drug-related.
Yeah but not a horror movie. It's the stuff about nukes that freaks me out. Threads and When the Wind Blows in particular. Seeing how nuclear fallout gradually effects people is terrifying.
The Conjuring, when one of the girls sees something standing by the door and her sister can't. Something similar happened to me as a kid and I think it might have been sleep paralysis but it drew back that absolute feeling of terror I felt as a kid.
Hereditary - another pretty disturbing film that stayed with me for long afterwards
Thir13en Ghosts - watched this at 13yo and it fricked me up
Insidious 1 and 2
There's probably more but I can't remember off the top of my head. Almost all of these I watched when I was extremely young with the exception of Hereditary which I watched at 18. Fun times. I had a lot of trouble sleeping and being by myself, but it was worth it. I don't think I can ever reach that level of psychological thrill/horror again as an adult, especially once you realize the scariest horror movie ever made is life itself. Once you've seen the tons of of real stuff that happens that will shake you to the core and question existence, it really puts things into perspective in that its a tad bit silly to be getting scared of imaginary things when what exists irl is much worse, and actually real.
>This list
Absolutely agree.
I watched "28 weeks later" and "28 days later" at 12 years old.
The former (came out later) has such a terrifying opening sequence I had a panic attack, had to leave the family sitting room and go sit upstairs.
You ever have that boiling heat internally? That's why terrifying films do to me, my body feels under attack so my blood pressure spikes, I go red - an inflammatory response. My body must think that I'm literally about to be seriously harmed.
I think my mother, step dad let us watch horror films to condition us to their physical, emotional abuse - to normalise it. I watched the original IT (1980s) at 8 years old, that's the first time I was scared of the dark and I never got over that. I still hold my breath everytime I have to walk through a dark area of the house at night - even when I haven't thought of that film in years. Spooky...
My dad got me Robocop on VHS for my 7th birthday. I can guarantee his thought process went no further than looking at the cover, and thinking "He likes robots". He was never a movie guy.
I'd always watch Starship Troopers with my dad as a little kid, usually I'd only catch the second half, and the ending scene where they get their brains sucked out freaked the frick out of me like nothing else
I think what fricked with me concerning The Exorcist as a kid was all the marketing playing up how it was based on a true story. In addition, my cousins and I were watching something on TNT many many years ago, and there was a sizzle reel during a commercial break of all the movies they were showing, and there was a half-second flash of Regan's head spinning, and we were all like "What was that?"
Yeah but not a horror movie. It's the stuff about nukes that freaks me out. Threads and When the Wind Blows in particular. Seeing how nuclear fallout gradually effects people is terrifying.
The Exorcist horrified me. Let me explain what I mean. To me, being horrified is a bit different than just being scared by something in the moment. Plenty of scenes have scared me:
>Jaws >the opening scene >Ben Gardner’s head >the shark coming for the dude’s leg
>The Exorcist III >the jumpscare >the clock scene(nice, subtle, and creepy) >Brad Dourif
But only the original Exorcist ever really horrified me. Horror is dread, and it wasn’t the supernatural scenes that did it. It was all the medical tests they put Regan through. It made me feel her mother’s complete helplessness and made me dread ever going through something like that with a child of my own. Horror is the kind of thing that doesn’t just wait for you in the dark, it’s a feeling that also chases you through the light of day.
It was optimistic. We already have legions of morons dumber than the mexican who said he'd wait and pay the hooker, only to realize she wouldn't put out and bring the cops.
Meanwhile in real life these homosexuals just keep waiting and paying forever.
>Wait for the hooker
Are you referring to a police sting with fake hookers?
Here escorts are legal but propositions are still illegal. Cash is paid upfront - so your story still makes no sense.
You're a prime example of the point I was making.
Look at this video. This moron with the mustache is smarter than your average onlyfans simp, because eventually he contacts a cop when he realizes he's not getting any pussy from this prostitute he's paying.
Not really.
The Woman in Black (original) was pretty spooky for that one scene.
Whistle and I'll Come to You (1968) was pretty spooky.
Lake Mungo gave me an eerie feeling that lasted the longest.
In terms of utter revulsion, the Walls Fall Out music video was the worst I've seen
https://vimeo.com/77882662
>Whistle and I'll Come to You (1968)
That's pretty eerie for Bongland. On YT for newbies.
I'm a horrorgay but the only things that scared me >Queen Mary segment of Unsolved Mysteries >the "acorn UFO" and "black triangles" segments of Unsolved Mysteries >the end of John Carpenter's Prince of Darkness literally made my brain climb the wall and drip from the ceiling >The Canal was recommended here and ngl it fricked me up. The only newish movie I can say that about. That fricked up random room. >I don't know why but The Grudge, maybe it was all the Xanax >the body bag hallway scene in A Nightmare on Elm Street
>>the end of John Carpenter's Prince of Darkness literally made my brain climb the wall and drip from the ceiling >>The Canal was recommended here and ngl it fricked me up. The only newish movie I can say that about. That fricked up random room.
I watched Prince of Darkness over a decade ago and it had no effect on me whatsoever. Maybe I wasn't mature enough to appreciate it or whatever but I just remember finding it lame. Might give it a rewatch.
Is The Canal the 2014 one? Might watch it.
Lots of anons here like to say that video games are for children and all that shit but pic related scared me more than any film. I'm a big fan of horror films but I mainly watch them for the atmosphere and cinematography, I hardly ever get scared by it
The Sound design and Akira yamaokas music really stand out in this game. The first time silent hill shifts to the otherworld and some of the stuff in the school level, like the rattling closet are really creepy.
The scariest game for me is still the gamecube version of resident evil 1. I tried playing it in the middle of the night with headphones on and would routinely have to stop and turn on the lights.
When you get to the lonely cabin and read the files on lisa trevor...and then you hear the door close...I paused the game for like an hour. I was fricking spooked.
The original RE1 is scarier for me because of its color palette/environmental design, it looks surreal. I know they took inspiration from The Shining and Sweet Home
Wish a game could make me feel like I did when I would run to turn on the lights because a scary horror movie commercial was playing on TV. PT was the last game to truly scare me. Now I just get unnerved.
Yeah it was good but you have to keep in mind that PT was just a teaser. Judging by its ending the game itself was going to be like Twin Peaks or Deadly Premonition, I doubt it would even be in first person
Yeah, I was just thinking about that. To me, it was mostly just Kojima saying "yes, I can do horror". Impressive what he did with so little, which is why Silent Hills was so hyped.
it was event horizon for me as well. I was 14 or 15 and it was on tv at like 8pm. thought it was just a spooky action adventure sci-fi. the eye gouging scene still stuck with me
28 weeks later, mainly the opening sequence with the zombies hunting the little lad and then invading the house of survivors.
First saw it at 12 years old.
Also, insidious had loads of jumpscares and really horrible demons and then the TERRIFYING troony nun demon (based for teaching the audience that old, washed up troony's are especially demonic).
Wake in Fright
My friend handed it to me on a flash drive and told me nothing about it. I watched it alone at 2am on a 56" rear-projection TV, and I was already about a quarter of the way through a bottle of scotch when I started. For some reason that movie filled me with a deep sense of horror.
Watching Doctor Who genuinely scared me as a kid, I remember screaming and crying when watching it as a kid lmao
Idk if anyone else gets it this way but when I feel fear I get a feeling of warmth go up my body followed by coldness
I think the last time I felt that might have been when I opened that image with a face staring down at the camera with hair scattered everywhere, that freaked me the frick out and not in a jump scare way
The most genuine fear I've experienced in a movie was probably Free Solo. The terror was real and visceral, I had sweaty, clammy hands and was so tense I was gripping the arms of my chair. I'm not too tough for horror movies but they never affect me physically like that.
I was also scared shitless by the Grudge as a kid, I'm too much of a pussy to find out if it's just as bad as an adult.
>be me alcoholic and borderline schizophrenic >spend most days in a xanax induced coma and druk >move into old house out in the country >it bends and creaks at night settling down >decide to put on a movie in bed because dont have internet yet >"the grudge? whats this then?"
When I was a kid the X Files episode of the Simpsons where Mr Burns is an alien would make me scream and cry until someone turned it off, and to this day it still creeps me out. Nothing else I've watched has ever had that effect on me, so I'm not sure what to put it down to.
This might sound dumb but I had to skip forward in the scene where the girl is at the table with the family and she's screaming
It felt dishonest but I was very unnerved nevertheless and sadly to my shame
horror films don't work on me anymore. ive watched too many probably. i watched one that would have scared me when i was younger called 32 malasana street. now...meh. fortunately vidya is terrifying. i've played about 5 minutes of outlast so far and had to switch it off because im too much of a pussy to handle
It was never the horror shit that scared me, it was the depressingly realistic stuff. Stuff like Death of a Salesman (i know its not Cinemaphile) scared the shit out of me when I was younger.
The basement scene in Zodiac. It's such a tense scene it creeps me the frick out every time. It's the only scene in a movie ever to truly scare me and no just make me jump because a semi transparent png popped up out of nowhere.
When I was a kid. After that, more just creeps.

white light/black rain was pretty disturbing
>Dangerous Old Mine
I don't get it. What did he see?
Wasn't this video just promo for a movie? IIRC he had a a Ted the Caver blog too
Schindler's List scared me
because it really happened
Lmfao
at 17< all the time
at 17+ never
The Conjuring, when one of the girls sees something standing by the door and her sister can't. Something similar happened to me as a kid and I think it might have been sleep paralysis but it drew back that absolute feeling of terror I felt as a kid.
That scene freaked me out too. Great movie.
Some other mentions from my list:
The Witch - kino, and genuinely disturbing
Hereditary - another pretty disturbing film that stayed with me for long afterwards
Thir13en Ghosts - watched this at 13yo and it fricked me up
Insidious 1 and 2

My dad showed me RoboCop when I was 6 and the scene where Murphy gets murdered was burned in to my brain for like 15 years
My dad got me Robocop on VHS for my 7th birthday. I can guarantee his thought process went no further than looking at the cover, and thinking "He likes robots". He was never a movie guy.
its a metaphor for jesus
death and rebirth
with that in mind, the scene is rather beautiful
>Robocop at 6 y/o
Was your dad hitting the crack pipe as well?
For me, it was the scene where ED-209 killed Kinney in the boardroom. I was also around 6 or 7.
I'd always watch Starship Troopers with my dad as a little kid, usually I'd only catch the second half, and the ending scene where they get their brains sucked out freaked the frick out of me like nothing else
This too frick that
I was shit scared of anything demonic possession related as a kid. Older brother talked me into watching The Exorcist when I was like 10, that bastard
I think what fricked with me concerning The Exorcist as a kid was all the marketing playing up how it was based on a true story. In addition, my cousins and I were watching something on TNT many many years ago, and there was a sizzle reel during a commercial break of all the movies they were showing, and there was a half-second flash of Regan's head spinning, and we were all like "What was that?"
no all horror movies sucks
>I'm a big boy now mommy I can potty all by myself!
cope
The Innocents creeped me out good.
The Vanishing (the original) didn't really scare me but it was a feeling a bit similar to the one you get from watching torture porn
Holy shit I was just thinking about watching this an hour ago
Terrified (Aterrados) spooked me good s few times. It has since become my favorite horror
Blair Witch Project. Mainly the end in the building in the dark. The end of Silence of the Lambs is horrific for the same reasons.
not enough people recommend geralds game, that movie is legitimately one of the most terrifying things ive ever seen
that's not really accurate to the prompt.
Yeah but not a horror movie. It's the stuff about nukes that freaks me out. Threads and When the Wind Blows in particular. Seeing how nuclear fallout gradually effects people is terrifying.
The Exorcist horrified me. Let me explain what I mean. To me, being horrified is a bit different than just being scared by something in the moment. Plenty of scenes have scared me:

It wasn't meant to be a documentary!!!

Here escorts are legal but propositions are still illegal. Cash is paid upfront - so your story still makes no sense.
its a scene from the movie you stupid frick. why do fricking idiots like you even chime in on every single post and give your two cents?
You're a prime example of the point I was making.
Look at this video. This moron with the mustache is smarter than your average onlyfans simp, because eventually he contacts a cop when he realizes he's not getting any pussy from this prostitute he's paying.
The exorcism of Emily Rose
Deliver Us From Evil
Dog Soldiers the night it premiered on scifi Channel back when I was 11 or 12.
Not really.
The Woman in Black (original) was pretty spooky for that one scene.
Whistle and I'll Come to You (1968) was pretty spooky.

If you like PT I recommend watching Repulsion
Shit I uploaded the wrong screenshot but you can watch Carnival of Souls too lmao
I'll give it a watch. PT had a non-tryhard atmosphere that really worked.
Yeah it was good but you have to keep in mind that PT was just a teaser. Judging by its ending the game itself was going to be like Twin Peaks or Deadly Premonition, I doubt it would even be in first person
Yeah, I was just thinking about that. To me, it was mostly just Kojima saying "yes, I can do horror". Impressive what he did with so little, which is why Silent Hills was so hyped.
It still hurts.
I would watch a movie set in the Oklahoma panhandle in the 1800s about the folklorist and that woman that is not human.
>I would watch a movie set in Oklahoma
True horror.
I have never felt fear.
Event Horizon.
Saw it randomly sometime after midnight when I was 15 or 16. Dark house, home alone; could barely sleep with how unnerved it made me.
But anon, Jay Baumen said no one unironically likes that movie!
Jay failing to understand a simple one-liner in a 90s movie bothers me.
it was event horizon for me as well. I was 14 or 15 and it was on tv at like 8pm. thought it was just a spooky action adventure sci-fi. the eye gouging scene still stuck with me
Any sort of religious supernatural scared me shitless as a kid, the exorcist being the main one but also stigmata was fricking creepy.
28 weeks later, mainly the opening sequence with the zombies hunting the little lad and then invading the house of survivors.

Seems like a skill issue
You're fricking up your brain more
Watch less scary movies
Watch wholesome movies
When I was a kid the X Files episode of the Simpsons where Mr Burns is an alien would make me scream and cry until someone turned it off, and to this day it still creeps me out. Nothing else I've watched has ever had that effect on me, so I'm not sure what to put it down to.
This might sound dumb but I had to skip forward in the scene where the girl is at the table with the family and she's screaming
It felt dishonest but I was very unnerved nevertheless and sadly to my shame
WHAT? ITS THE WRONG WEBM LMAO
anyway i got my first hand job to this movie in theaters
The projector part is pretty good, but after that it kind of jumps the shark a bit.
horror films don't work on me anymore. ive watched too many probably. i watched one that would have scared me when i was younger called 32 malasana street. now...meh. fortunately vidya is terrifying. i've played about 5 minutes of outlast so far and had to switch it off because im too much of a pussy to handle
This shit shook me up as a kid.
Ok I just remembered. Caveat had a pretty terrifying scene.
Annihilation bear scene
exorcist scared me watching for the first time like a year ago. demons are scary
It was never the horror shit that scared me, it was the depressingly realistic stuff. Stuff like Death of a Salesman (i know its not Cinemaphile) scared the shit out of me when I was younger.
The basement scene in Zodiac. It's such a tense scene it creeps me the frick out every time. It's the only scene in a movie ever to truly scare me and no just make me jump because a semi transparent png popped up out of nowhere.
That was creepy
>ooooouuaaaa an attractive ghost lady I am going kamikaze
After watching Gone girl I'm scarred to have relations with women
Im not scared of asian people. even dead ones
i am.
freaky bastards.
The original Black Christmas is the only one to make me cover my eyes as an adult. Showed to some other boomers and they were the same. Great movie
terrified put me on the edge of my seat.
