Fire in the Sky was probably the scariest movie I've ever seen. I saw it was I was about 10 or 11. There was no other movie that I've seen that actually scared me besides that one.

I agree.

Scariest movie I've ever seen: IT

Gave me nightmares for years when I was a kid!

The first Paranormal Activity. It had some great tension in the moments of complete silence.

Another thing from my childhood that freaking scared me was the movie "Jumanji". The fact that there were all these monsters were coming from everywhere was unbelievably terrifying. I even looked back at the movie and realized that in a scene near the end, the girl DIED when hit by a barb, which I never knew AT ALL when I was a kid, making it even worse.

That one scene on Mulholland Drive. You know what I'm talking about.

I was going to say the same. Texas Chainsaw Massacre has some very weird and scary scenes. For example, when Sally is tied to that chair and the whole familiy is laughing.

But what I fear most is that remake from Michael Bay. My fear is that I have to watch that movie and that it instantly kills everything I like about TCM... Curse you, Mr. Bay, for being such a shitty director!

After watching Blair Witch Project, I avoided going through the forest in the dark for some weeks, heh. I rather took a detour of some miles, so I could stay on the road. But on the other hand, I never liked going through that forest in the dark anyway. Why? Because you can't see too well in the dark. ^^

*cracks whip over producers' heads* "More explosions! Come on!"

The War of the Worlds (1953)- its both the war machine, and the Martian especially, that scared me as a kid.

The Fourth Kind

Sinister was the last movie to give me chills. Before that was like the Blair Witch Project.

The only time I felt genuine fear with a movie was when I was young between 4 and 6, maybe longer, because I remember the T-Rex from Jurassic park scared the shit out of me, and the snake from Anaconda, both just made me completely cower from whatever was going on in the movie. I just covered my eyes lol.

As I started watching horror movies, a few of em really got me. This one movie call Arachnophobia, was really scary specially if you don't like poisonous things you can't see that kill you with one bite lol. Jaws to this day forces me to open my eyes under water lol.

My brother played the Resident Evil games and I watched and it was like a movie because of how good he was at the game, and whenever i walked the streets at night I would jump at my own shadow lol freakin zombies, and of course the first movie was genuinely scary unlike the rest.

So I ask you, Newgrounds: What movies legitimately scared you?

For me it's The Shining and Silence of the Lambs. Two classics.

the grudge people say its no scary but theyre liars!

When I was younger, Phantom of the Paradise scared me. Now, I absolutely refuse to watch The Exorcist because of how bad it scares me. This character from Phantom of the Paradise is why it scared me when I was younger. And this scene scared me, the guys in make up and the singer screaming scared me alot when I was younger

A TV production example, but still relevant I think. I saw the classic 1968 BBC ghost story adaptation Whistle and I'll Come to You either partially or completely on one occasion as a child. I remember very little about it other than how isolated it made me feel, but it sounds like an adequate ghost story so look it up if you're interested. It's unsettling how, even after all these years of encountering different styles and genres of cinema, the following shot stays with me.

I could perhaps add more if I think a little bit.

The only movies that scare me are gory ones, but that's only because of my own hypochondria that I can't look at bodies being torn apart very easily. I am shaken for a while after.

Other than that, I've done too much Film Studies at college to be afraid by horror film techniques. :*(

The first movie of any slasher franchise, sadly they all tend to get goofy afterwards.

The Grudge. I'm not usually all that frightened by horror movies, and this is one that barely contains any blood or gore, but holy hell for some reason the look of those kids made me shift nervously in my seat the entire time I watched the movie.
