those 2 movies i watched not long ago.. the movie they made me unable to sleep in the dark for 3 weeks. I had to have the light on when i went to bed, otherwise id be shaking like hell and jumping at every sound or movement.
resident evil gave me nightmares and walking in dark halls became a phobia for me for like 1 or 2 months..
If the movie is scary enough it affects me for a fair while.. even now im still slightly afraid of walking alone in a dark hallway, because of them movies.. I try to walk down the hallway as fast as possible into my room where theres light.

What really scares me the most, besides Charlies angels, is the ages you kids were when you watched these movies. I wouldnt let my kids near half of those with a ten foot pole until they were at LEAST over the age of 13, to do anything less seems to err on the side of child abuse.

The Exorcist. Scariest movie ever made. Extra scary in the new additions, with the faces in the shadows added at crucial points. I saw this for the first time when I was 19, and I could not sleep that night, nor the next night. It freaked me out so much. I will never watch it again, but it must be respected as a REALLY SCARY MOVIE.

Oh and try watching Jacob's Ladder and then playing any Silent Hill game, you should easily spot all the blatant ‘inspiration’ the games take from this film.
Yuck, M9 is ugly. I saw a M9 for $150 on the black market....wait this is NS forum. Just make your you lock the safety so you dont accidently shoot your self while sleep walking.
Mmmm......How about <i>Predator</i>? That sured scared the living <i>****</i> outta me the first time I saw it.
Another is ...yes, I'm afraid to admit...<i>House of 1000 Corpses</i>. While some parts were funny in this bloodsoaked film, watching the depravity of the entire thing at three in the morning - I nearly shat myself. Seriously.

Horror movies are my life. I consider Alien action, not horror. I think when I was about 8 or 10, whenever, I saw IT. I was afraid to walk near the drain in the shower for YEARS. Now it doesn't even phase me, but that was the most badass evil clown ever. right now nothing scares me. I have this empty hole in my Entertainment sector where fear wants to be. I thought 28 days later was kickass till I saw that it had rabid people instead of zombies. Then it was just sorry as hell. Maybe the best movie I know of is Wes Craven's New Nightmares. Wes Craven directed the only two non-comedy Nightmare on Elm Streets, and they were both VERY badass. New Nightmares is the ultimate movie, because it's set in a world where Nightmare on Elm Street is a movie, and New Nightmares takes place in our own "real life." If you've never seen it, you must. In fact, now I have to find my tape and watch it because I haven't in years.

And Dr Weir was cool and played superbly by Sam Neillb who did the whole part of going insane perfectly.

Hmm. The Ring was pretty scary, not jump-out-of-my-seat scary. Neither was Signs. Haven't seen horror movies for a while.
Which Ring series did you watch?
The Japanese version is much more scarier than the Hollywood version.

That movie shouldn't be called a "Scary Zombie Movie." What a let down.
to clear the room
and to watch it on a stool directly in front of the TV. ie: no objects around you.
you, and the TV.
i do that for scary movies i haven't seen... i did that during the shining, and i fell off meh stool a good few times.

In a word, not to terribly much.
The Japanese version is a trilogy.
You have to watch it in this order: Ring 1, Ring 2, then Ring 0
I can't explain the difference, but a lot of people agree that the Japanese versions pwn the Hollywood one.

Ok, the difference between Japanese Ringu and American The Ring?
The japanese are the masters of scaring the shiat out of me. BioHazard 1, Silent Hill 1, 2, 3, Dino Crisis, and a couple other Japanese made games.
Silent Hill is the scariest game I ever played. Made me scared of little white things in the darkness...f**kin Zombie kids.
