Survey: What is horror to you?

[Cerberus]

I\'m not just saying this, but I can\'t think of any movie that really fills me with horror.  Though the closest that any scene has come to unnerving me is the scene in the shining where the twins are stood at the end of the corridor as the little lad rides round the corner on his trike.

For me the thing that works is a good silent build up.

Kinda like, the idiot comic relief got lost, he\'s alone in the dark and we know he\'s being watched by the evil monster alien bad guy from hell. I love the silent build up\'s. However I hate it when a good build up is ruined when it turns out it was just one of his pals coming to get him or something.

I\'ll tell you what freaks me out . . . it\'s that evil little Snuggles bear. You know the one that dances around for that detergent.

:crap:  My stomach will turn at slow torture scenes.
Example ; we see a close up shot of some guy\'s
belly which is slowly cut with a nasty knife and all
guts start to drip out - then a close up of his face
in agony - then a shot of the bloody guts on the floor.
Yuck.
I also remember a torture scene from Red Scorpion,
where Lundgren slowly gets daggers implanted in all
his non vital parts. There wasn\'t much blood in that
scene but it was just realistic enough to almost make
me puke.

Id have to say i agree with the God thing about scaring ! I remember THE EXORSIST ! DAMN THAT MOVIE scared the living sh*t out of me !:alien:  i saw it recently again in the theaters i think last year and it still scared me soo much i wet my pants ! nahh not to that point but you understand !  The atmosphere has definetly something to do with it !  If you never seen exorsist ! watch it now !

I remember one film that I did see a long time ago when I was very young.

I can\'t remember the name, but it was about a family who crashed their car, and they all magaged to get out OK, except for the daughter. Her brother had tied her shoelaces together in the car, so she ended up getting killed when the car blew up.

There are a few things I remember about the film.

1. She came back as a ghost to take revenge, she threw her brothers basketball up onto the roof, and as he went up to get it, she pushed him off.

2 I also remember something about a pizza cutter she was dragging down the wall has she came down the staircase, the light was glinting off it as it moved.

3. When the mother woke up one night, she saw the ghost of her daughter at the end of her bed with her head resting on her chin.

I can\'t remember the name of the film, but I do remember that it came on AFTER the Piranha movie on BBC1 one night.

Does anyone recognise, or know the name of this film?

why did you post this topic out of curiousity???

yeah id say its when you havent seen what the enemie is.............. sorta like how sh make you feel...... u ever seen phantoms. the first part is excellent.. but to be honest i never find a fil real scary

i dont find typical horror movies scary
the exorsisct was pretty good
the blair witch project was good and scary
communoin scared the pants off me
and the middle part of the mothman phophisies where richard gere is talking to the thing over the phone thats really well done but the ending of the movies sucks
fear on mtv has its moment but its mostly moronic mtv fans acting like moronic mtv fans
