Which version - the American remake, or the original Japanese version?

I highly recommend "The Changeling"...

Also, "Se7en", though flashy and gory, was always a top thriller.

Ring 2 (Japanese Version) The way that woman moves and that whole mist on ocean thing.

IT: Hate clowns. Someone showed me that film when I was 9


Also a sidenote. Not a film. But apparantly my family sat down to watch the debut of Michael Jacksons Thriller full length clip. Apparantly I lasted all of a minute and ran and closed myself in a cupboard. Children can be perceptive it seems
Me too. That movie scared the absolute sh*t out of me as a kid. Haunted me for a while. Not a kids movie as a scary, incredibly menacingly looking clown doesnt sit well in a child's thoughts...

Also the Blob used to scare me too. Remember when it was on when i was about 5, went to my room terrified and my mum and dad had to turn it off and comfort me lol

Nowadays the ones i can think of are Hostel & Wolf Creek...just brutal violence built up very slowly...but more than anything they left me with that feeling of "that sh!t just might happen".

i started to watch IT but stopped as im reading the book...

clowns are scary.

Steven King is a genius.
Pet Cemetary is my favourite book.

I loved the way he used the name Joey Ramone for the main character to sign a motel register.
Then the Ramones wrote the song .

jurassic park was, still is, will always be the scaryest movie ive ever seen.

saw it on the big screen when i was 5. the noise was what got me. when the trex roars and then eats the car, chaces a guy and then eats bloke on the toilet. that whole bit was the most terrifying experience of my life. or so i thought, untill the scenes when veloceraptors are in the kitchen hunting the kids.

for weeks after, whenever i was alone my dad would sneak up on me and pretend to be a raptor. he bought this raptor claw thing from the shops and would reach around the corner of the couch with it and claw at me with it me with it. deadset i must have had 15 heart attacks in the month that followed seeing that movie.

I was more freaked out than scared during Wolf Creek. I haven't been able to watch it a second time :oops:

Also, Edward Scissor Hands when i was 6, had nightmares for months.

There must be something wrong with me. That or I am too desensitzed because Wolf Creek didn't scare me or freak me out at all.

Maybe because I took so long to getting around to see it and it had been over hyped

I believe John Jarratt did a great job - his character Mick was acted out really wellm and he was creepy. But I'm with you - I didn't find it scary at all. Disturbing, because of its setting. But not scary. I think it was overhyped to begin with.

As for the violence..."The Hitcher" was more violent than that.

Ive seen most horror films. Most of them as a kid and they all freaked me out to an extent but Salems Lot, Halloween and Nosferatu(you know the really old vampire movie with the really long fingers ?) creeped me out the most.

Now im much older, 38,those movies just make me laugh, BUT, the only movie that truly can scare the crap out of me is the Ringu movies ... f**k me, they give me the creeps :lol: Thankyou Japan :)

Yes! To be honest, I find Nosferatu creepier than any of the modern-day vampires.

And Ringu...*shudder*
