truly scary movies?

[Jagged Little Pill]

I couldn't sleep without my lamp on for like 2 weeks after seeing  Darkness Falls and The Exorcism of Emily Rose but the movie that scared me the most that I had to sleep with my lamp on for about a month was the Grudge. But then again I get scared at everything.

Darkness Falls really scared me while I was watching it.  But after it was over, I just forgot all about it.  But really scary or disturbing movies will stay on my mind for a day or two.

One I saw as a kid that scared me, but I haven't seen in years, was American Werewolf in London.  I think that was the name.  I'd have to watch it again to see if I still think its scary though.  Also Poltergeist scared me pretty good.  Now I find it more funny, but it still creeps me out a bit.

A BBC drama from 1992/93 Called Ghostwatch. It was done in the style of a documantary and if like me you didnt realise it was a drama and thought it was real it was the scariest fucking shit i ever saw. And i wasnt the only one

you want scarey?

look no further than " House of a 1000 corpses" - its a Rob Zombie film.  It may not have you right on the edge of your seat - but it is very disturbing and the images stayed with me for a few dark, cold nights afterwards.....

it may sound lame now - but Jaws scared me sh!tless when I was little - its the silence in the ocean that bothered me...

Exorcist and Shining for sure.

Amnityville Horror, orig was pretty scary (The remake is good too)

There is a b-movie called "the Gates of hell" which has to be the goriest movie ever! That one is retty cool.

Also there is this movie from the 80's about a hospital in the future where everything is robotic and somebody hacks into it and kills people. I remeber that movie scaring the shit out of me for a week

Friday the 13th #1 and Halloween #1 as well

Did anyone watch that series from Stephen King called Kingdom Hospital?  It got cancelled, but I only watched the first episode and it freaked me out so much I wouldn't watch anymore.

I never saw the series.  I wanted to, but work evenings, so missed it, but it looked good.

Another movie that scared me was Blair Witch Project.  I know a lot of people thought it was overrated, but I thought it was great, especially how it was done - low budget, unknown actors, videocam shots.  It looked very real.

Also, just prior to the movie's being released, I remember there was a documentary shown on cable TV, and it looked very real.  There was a disclaimer about it at the beginning, but if you missed it....  Unfortunately, I didn't see the "documentary" until after seeing the movie.   

Blair Witch II wasn't quite the same.
