What's the scariest movie you've ever seen?

Following on from the Hitchcock birdies thread ............

Mine was the original version of The Fog - not the new one, which was nowhere near as spooky as the 1980 John Carpenter one.

What was yours? The one that made you leave your light on when you went to bed ...................

I don't really find horror movies scary, just gory, not really fan, they just don't get me on the edge of my seat since I was a teenager and a lot of them compensate for crappy story lines with a lot of blood and guts and it's no compensation.

Ones I find scarier are true life stories or at least based on real life incidents, just because it really happened and could happen again, to anyone. Like last night for instance, I watched not a film but a true life CSI where a father murdered his wife and 2 kids, I kept my light on after that!

I remember one from years ago but I can't remember its title. It was about a hand that played the piano and it used to walk on it's fingers ......real spooky, I used to dream about it for ages.

I have a feeling it might have been "The Beast with Five Fingers"

I love horrors, but do not get spooked by them, I think The Ring was one of the best...

"The Shining" - soooo scary

or "Halloween" - watched this from behind a cushion!

I avoid scary films as I really don't like them; either the gory ones or the mind-mess ones.

Although not scary in the real sense; two films that made me keep the light on; The Elephant Man (which I saw for the 1st time when I was 15) and, by the same director, Eraserhead.

I found Silence of the Lambs ok until the scenes with Hannibal Lectar ........ those chattering teeth used to chill me!

Mine was and is still Christine. The one about the car. I had nightmares about it.

It's Alien for me! And I vaguely remember that movie Mags mentioned about the disembodied hand; think that's the title. My best buddy told me he was so spooked by the pod people movie when he was a kid he was afraid to look under the bed ! ....

I can't even watch scary films! My sister loves them, loves the adrenaline rush she gets from being scared but I just don't enjoy it! The same reason I don't like rollercoasters etc.
