Scariest movie of all time?

By that definition? Requiem for a Dream. Nope. Fug that. Never again.

I think for me a lot depends on the age. I can watch pretty much all the scary movies as an adult.

 

For some reason the scariest movies I have watched came during my teenager years. I use to think Jeepers Creepers was really scary as a teen, now as an adult I can watch that movie every day.

 

Still waiting on a modern movie that will shake me to the core. I had high hopes for "The Exorcist Believer" but im looking at the reviews and most seem to say it wasn't that scary.

As a horror fan for fifty years, the one thing I can definitively say I absolutely will never watch again is an episode of The Twilight Zone called "It's a Good Life".

X Files anyone?

What movie stuck with you for a while that you were legit afraid to watch again?

I know it's not the game, but honestly, the only stuff I can never watch again is the anxiety inducing stuff that provokes real life stress in me while I watch it. Stuff like Marriage Story or Whiplash.

Scary, violent, upsetting stuff doesn't bother me to the point that I can't watch it again, unless it's just utterly profane and pointless. Stuff like Like Saw II. I love to be shocked in a movie, and will totally watch again. I'd even watch Hostel again... and I have.

 

But here's one that I know has wrecked several people I watch movies with:

Misery

Oh my Misery is underrated.

 

That woman was crazy!

The most disturbing movie I have ever seen is Megan is Missing. It stuck with me for way too long.

I saw one of the Faces of Death videos with some friends when we were in highschool.

I think we all regretted it, but none of us had the guts to turn it off.

That one I could have done without.

It's October, only right we discuss the scariest movie we ever seen. Mine is pretty easy "The Exorcist" 1973 version. Legit took me a full week to get over that movie. I was a teenager when I first watched it. Still till this day the scariest movie I ever seen.

 

I watched this as a kid and no movie has come remotely close to scaring more.  On first watch this one is terrifying.

Second those who mentioned The Witch.  I watched a movie called Terrifer recently that I liked…gory as hell

I actually liked the movies Sinister and Mama.  Underrated IMO

Another gems is Tumbbad https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8239946/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0_tt_5_nm_3_q_tuumbad

Memories of Murder is strange but crazy entertaining

That’s a good one…TZ is classic

The hitchhiker and The Doll are a few of my favs

All time favorites are definitely The Thing and Alien.  Nosferatu is also right there.  Love silent or very old horror films

Poltergeist 3 lol. I watched it when I was younger and all the mirror stuff freaked me out.

Yeah, it's been nearly 25 years and that one still sticks with me. Like damn, my overall faith in humanity is already low enough. I don't need that poo in my life.
