Ditto, the only movie I ever had to shut off.  |

| 'Wolf Creek' the most disturbing film I've ever seen and as childish as it is it's put me off going anywahere near the outbacks (in Oz not the restaurant). |

I certainly wouldn't rank it among the scariest movies of all time, but I have always had a soft spot for Italian giallo cinema. Have you ever had a chance to see any of HG Lewis' exploitation stuff? Blood Feast is the Citizen Kane of splatter flicks.
Another great unsettling/ disturbing film, and this is not hyperbole, is Don't Look Now, directed by Nicholas Roeg and starring Donald Sutherland. I guarantee this film is an influence on David Lynch. |

Forgot about that one. Really takes a turn for the nightmarish at the end as I remember. Who would have thought a midget in a red raincoat could be so disconcerting? |

Carrie wins my vote for the scariest due the final scene.
Terminator for a sense of hopelessness
The Mist for a sense of apocalypse, esp for the great big monster scene
(The monsters in the Mist were uncreative, nasty but uncreative except for the great big monster)
And this one...
Hammer Studios' "Quartermass and The Pit/5 Million Years to Earth"
1967

| Brilliant writing motivates a suspenseful sci-fi satire with intelligent, but often over the top, acting. Aliens invaded the earth thousands of years ago, and left behind their hatred and evil as a sort of gift to our race. One of the only films to successfully negotiate the fascinating territory between science fiction and the supernatural -- or, science and religion. Good suspense held up by a fast plot that reveals just enough to keep you interested. Poor production values -- the monsters in the film are truly laughable, which may hurt its reception by the younger crowd. |

| The film caused some scandal in Italy at the time of its release. Ten days after premiering in Milan, the film was seized by the courts, and the director, Ruggero Deodato, was arrested and charged with obscenity. He was later charged with murder and faced life in prison on the belief that several of the actors were murdered for the camera. Deodato contacted Luca Barbareschi and told him to contact the three other actors who played the missing film team. He presented the actors, alive and well, to the courts, and thus, the murder charges were dropped. The film remained banned in Italy for another three years. |

You can find it on Mininova.

Anyone seen this? |
I had alot of fun watching it but I wouldn't call it scary. Just kind of sick and twisted. I saw it in a theatre a few years ago (a double feature with The Beyond) and the background music was so cheesy everyone in the theatre kept laughing. It is a must see for fans of Grind House. |

Yeah, that was notoriously scary when I was a kid as well. Definitely deserves a mention. |

| Did anyone ever love watching the television show Unsolved Mysteries but had to mute the show's creepy introduction music? I had to do that as a child. That music could still give me nightmares if I listened to it again. |

| Thank you. I'm not alone. People disappearing (grandmothers, fathers), two teenage lovers abducted at Lover's outlook on a foggy night, etc. |

Can't believe nobody has mentioned The Amityville Horror yet! Gosh, the original first 2 scared the hell out of me when I was a child. Still freaked out to this day! I can't even cut my vegetables in the shape of those quarter moon windows. Very frightening (a supposedly based on a true story although that's forever being debated...) And the music still haunts me. It was actually music that was composed to be for The Exorcist but they said it was too scary!!
Another one that was scary but to a lesser extent was Children of the Corn. |
