Trying to search through my library of vhs tapes, there was some movie with them using a platform lawn mower to slice up huge #s of people, lotsa n lotsa gore, still have not found it nor recalled it's title...
so What is the SCARIEST (couldn't get to sleep, and when finally did get to sleep didn't care if all the lights were left on) movie/dvd/vhs you recall...
and related is the SCARIEST the same as the most VIOLENT, ie. can it be Scariest w/o extreme gore and violence?
And from a gaming pov, can they ever approach that kind of reaction we get from special effects visual-audio media?

In my opinion , I gotta say any horror flick that was made before the mid 90"s was scary. Nowadays the people who are making them try too hard , for example: putting in crazy 3d graphics (which makes the horror experience totally fake), giving roles to rappers in the movie ( stupid idea ) , ruining the franchise ( good example " Seed of Chucky").
If it ain't broke, don't fix it...
As for movies that are already released, its not that scary anymore but the first time I saw it I was really freaked out by the Blair Witch Project. The main reason is because you never actually see anything, but you can hear them, and to me that is scary, knowing that something is hiding and watching you. I can see how people dont like it, but it was great to me.
Grudge, hands down.

Horror movies aren't getting worse. You were probably just young. Everybody outgrows them. Go back and watch the original Chucky, you won't be scared. Seed of Chucky is a bad example, they purposely made it funny.
My most recent favorite I think is House of a 1000 Corpses. Resident Evil (the original) and Thirteen Ghosts had some cool moments. I also find Ghost Ship slightly disturbing in spots.
I agree with Jag. Movies used to seem a LOT scarier when I was young.
Scariest movies I have seen were The Howling, that scared the pants off me, I wanted to walk out the cinema and my friend wouldnt let me. Then I had to go home to an empty house coz my folks were away, and we lived on 360 acres of bush an hour from the city. I prayed for sunrise
Then I got it on DVD recently and I couldnt believe it was the same movie, it almost seemed cheezy and funny to me now...
Next would be Alien 1, coz I saw that at around the same time and people were actually getting up and walking out....

I disagree somewhat. Horror movies aren't scary anymore and age has nothing to do with it. I've enjoyed plenty of movies from the 80's and 90's, but they were far from scary. Gimmicky and gore driven imo. They tend to lack style and good atmospheric psychological aspects.
I live for horror films and as a result I get picky, but never scared. Only movie to scare me was my first. I think i was like 7 or 8 and I saw American Werewolf in London. The nightmare scenes gave me nightmares for about 2 days. I've been addicted since. I think Alien is one of the best, though there are both some European and Asian films that come close too.
As for new movies I liked Haute Tension, the Ringu series, and though I thought Devil's Rejects was better than House of a Thousand Corpses its not really horror. I'm really looking forward to Silent Hill.

The Descent
never have i been that close to pooing myself while watching a film before. its a 'smallish' british film though so you may not have seen it in america
My horror movie experience
the grudge is boring
(my bro watched it at the age of 4 and said nothing, and hes the kind of kid that gets nightmares from getting lost in an aeoroplane with a cellphone..
Bride of chucky was my first horror movie and didnt scare me, the first movie to majorly scare me was, Halloween which I watched at 7 I think, Michael Myers Is scary. then at 10 I watched the ring (yawn! Its better than the grudge though, they say the grudge is scarier but tis not!)
Ghost ship was the first and Last movie I watch that contains ghosts
at the age of 11 I watched Nightmare on elm street and friday the 13th, I wanted to watch FvJ but I didnt want it to spoil the others so I watched all series then I bought FvJ (12 then) and I like Freddy soooo bad! (wes craven gets my vote for best horror director)
the first 3 scary movies to make me laugh after this
By now I got experienced and the frequency of me watching horror/slasher movies increased (especially after watching the Nightmare on elm street and Friday the 13th in a week.. I didnt sleep the whole last 2 days (48hrs up)
I watched SAW II and I basicly thought they wanted to try and remake black humour from an ENTIRELY different spot
I watched the Elite scary movies the exorcist and Long time dead which rocked
planning to watch: Ringu after what I heard about Sadako in another topic and Scary movie 4
Part 2:
Movies get scarier by age, they do!
back then there wasn't this much competition and not alot of laws that bound what you watched, like the exorcist (which is really old) along with NOES 1 are really scary.. and nowadays people try and profit and the WORST examples of this is the Ring series which got lowered to 15+ for a reason: to increase the profits, they care about profits much more nowadays, instead of making quality movies.
1 thing I noticed, Scary movie only spoofs boring movies ( some aren't but most are)
I've heard a lot of people say the Grudge is boring. My only thing is that the Grudge is very Japanese in what makes it horror. The entire concept is based on Japanese folklore and makes more sense to them (without knowing more about it.) Particularly the hair thing. I think that's why hollywood remakes of some of the better Asian movies just don't do as well. Prime examples: The only thing they got right creepy-wise in The Ring was the bit with the horse on the ferry. Otherwise that didn't carry across Ringu at all.
And I heard recently that the reason for dumping the hollywood remake of Korean The Phone, half the cast gave up after they didn't understand what was going on in the script.
I think Wes Craven has gotten lucky too. He makes mediocre films that have great premises and that's what gets them turned into cult movies. The story idea for People Under the Stairs was great, but the movie was boring.
Oh, and for the record I've seen The Descent... was okay and had potential, but had pacing problems. You want obscure messed up movie? Try to find Calvaire. Its horror along the same vein as Misery or Deliverance only worse. The bad guys in that movie make the corrupt hillbillies from Deliverance look like whiny schoolyard bullies. And its from Belgium of all places...

PINGU is scarier
No annoying animated GIF here!
When I was little, I couldn't sit through The Shining.
The scene with Danny riding his big-wheel through the hallways, then turning the corner and finding the 2 little girls standing there, freaked me out bad. To this very day, I won't ride a big-wheel through a hotel hallway, and I'm 37.

It is my opinion that horror movies are not actually "scary" but rather "intense".
If you really want to scare yourself, go sit in the woods or a cemetary or even your backyard at night with a portable DVD player, no light, and headphones to watch a Horror movie you haven't seen before. It is all about the atmosphere.
I have to agree a little with -Jaguar- that Ghost Ship had some disturbing scenes, and that is the only one I can think of that just sort of irked me.
I am not a big fan of "scary" movies in general, but Laserwolf made a point when he stated that it has a lot to do with the atmosphere you are in while watching the movie. One of my favorite movie experiences was when I saw The Blair Witch Project on openning night in a small theatre in Los Angeles. This was before the hype it got and it was amazing seeing people jump and cringe and scream. As people were walking out of the theatre there was just a drained/shocked look on their faces (and not just from trying to concentrate on a bouncing screen), it was awesome. I am not saying it is the best movie, I am just saying it was that much more enjoyable because of the atmosphere.

please explain.
dont know which one your talking about so ill say
Grudge(Eng) , Ju-On(Jap) both sucked.
Totally and completely true.
There is a big difference of watching a horror movie in the theatres than watching it on DVD at home. In the theatre, the sound is extremely loud, and everyone is focused. At home, it's different in most cases.
When I saw The Grudge in theatres, I was like "Holy Crap!". But, when I saw it on DVD at home, I was like "Meh...".
I agree that The Grudge is one of the scariest I've seen. There's no violence, but for me, violence doesn't really make a horror movie.
The main thing I love about The Grudge is that there's suspense every 4 minutes, literally. It doesn't really give you a breather like most horror movies. Not to mention the imagery that can stay in your head for awhile (the long-haired girl, the boy that goes "Meow").
So, yeah. The Grudge is one of my favorites.
This siggy is CGI that my cousin made in 4 hours.
I do recall one time in my childhood of being seriously scared for days after I watched an episode of the power rangers. The first season of the power rangers, I was about 7 at the time maybe? I really don't know. But I just remember that it scared the crap outa me.
Now that I think about it, a lot of things scared me back in the day...
BOO!
