My all time fave has to be Night Of The Living Dead (original) and the subsequent color version.
For just plain facked up: Jacob's Ladder Although I'm not sure if it's considered horror, per-se.

Probably the most disturbingly scary film, that wasn't intended to be a horror film, I've ever seen was 1973's:
"Papillon" About the South American prison. Mainly because the gore content of the film. Also, because I was only 10 years old, and the guy who was selling tickets for the film at the box office didn't realize it was an "R" rated film (the marquee actually listed the film as "G", I'm not making that up)! The five most scarriest horror films for me are: 1. The Witches Of Eastwick; I know this is supposed to be a comedy as well; but looking at that woman vomiting those cherries just gives me the creeps (and Jack Nicholson turning into the devil is most disturbing; the first time I watched the cherries vomiting scenes I couldn't eat cherries for the rest of the year of 1987; LOL!) 2. Final Destination series: I'm not fond of the way people are followed by death and then the way many of them are killed off. But I am awaiting the next installment this summer. The beheadings and dismemberments are the most disturbing of the deaths. 3. Sssssssssssss; this little remembered film of the 1970's, starring Strother Martin as the mad scientist that turns his teenage daughter's boyfriends into snakes is quite disturbing. 4. The Happening: This title from last summer about an environmental disaster that turns people into people who don't worry about themselves in terms of what pain (or death) they will do to themselves or others is quite disturbing and not easy to watch at many times (although some of the deaths are a little unintentionally funny). 5. I'm also still not over Alfred Hitchcoc's classic 1962 horror flick, "The Birds". (I can't believe this site won't let me post all of the original horror master's full last name!) Also, if you ever get a hold of the NBC-TV 1974 miniseries of "Frankenstein" there is a very frightful scene where the "Fankenstein" monster (which is not like the usual in the past "Frankenstein" monsters, but looks like a regular man that is just disshelved) takes off the head of his bride in front of a room full of other people at a ballroom party in the early 19th century. And I think the "The Blair Witch Project" was just idiotic and I wanted my money back after seeing the disaster it was. Last edited by musicvideohistoryfan; 03-17-2009 at 03:45 AM. |

Any one here seen Cannibal Holocaust.
Me and my buddy read the wiki synopsis and it was enough to make us feel sick. Pretty sure it's illegal here. But another friend got a copy, didn't freak him...but he's a sociopath.

I haven't seen Cannibal Holocaust. I'm naturally against snuff in movies - even if it's just against animals. Well, actually - people usually care more about animals than people, so I guess most will agree with me on that one.
The horror movies that scared me most was the first elm street and Peter Jackson's Braindead. The reason is I saw them when I was a kid. Braindead is a comedy which softens the impact on regular folks, but when you're a norwegian 11 year old watching an english movie without subtitles, you don't really get the humour. All that's left is buckets of gore and bone-chilling horror.  Seeing that movie, it felt like it changed me somehow. I guess it did because I became quite fond of horror movies. Unlike my girlfriend, I'm quite good at remembering that what I'm watching is a movie and not real life, so I don't usually get scared. At least not unless the movie is somehow believable. Let's just say the Blair Witch Project scared me less than the teletubbies do. The last time I got pleasantly spooked by a movie was when I saw The Changeling from 1980 some years ago. It's a ghost story I felt I could actually relate to (which I like) and aside from having some genuinely spooky moments, that movie is still good on so many levels and it tries to tell you an interesting story with heart rather than just spook you. Warmly recommended to anyone who likes a ghost mystery! Actually, I'll warmly recommend it to anyone, even those who think horror might be too spooky for them.
