"Deliverance" scares the hell out of me.  Every time I hear a banjo I get chills!

Roger and Me by Michael Moore. The cover of the DVD shows him pointing a microphone at an empty chair so I think he eats him during the film.

I said this on another discussion but I think the original "The Haunting" and "The Innocents" with Deborah Kerr are the most creepy movies I've ever seen.   There's something about movies in black & white in houses that are darkly lit that spooks me.   Don't watch these movies alone in the dark.  :)

If you watch "The Innocents" then you'll see where M. Night Shaymalan got inspiration for "The Sixth Sense".

I did a search for Barack Obama on Netflix  and got 112 pages of results...thats pretty scary right there.

OK. That was the obvious joke...

I have a REAL movie for you: Rose Red. Its a Steven King movie about a house that was born bad. It doesn't like men, it just kills them dead. Women on the other hand, disappear inside the mansion. The only clue to what was happening to them was a purse torn in half drenched in blood.

That said, the movie is not gory at all. Its one of the best ghost stories out there, and you will not be disappointed.
This is a Steven King novel that translated well to the screen. Its 4 hours long and two movies...

can't go wrong with Rose Red.

and I'll bet you 10 Hi5s that you will like it!

If you don't mind reading subtitles (it's in Spanish), The Orphange scared the hell out of me.  Not gory, ghostly.


Hey Mr. Mannn, did you ever read the novel Rose Red?  If so, any good?

Saw 1, the others suck

The original version of The Wicker Man is really good.  (The Nicolas Cage remake, on the other hand, is truly awful.)

Here are some more of my favorites:

Alice, Sweet Alice (solid 70's slasher pic)
The Devil's Rain (with William Shatner!)
The Haunting (the original -- a classic)
The Crazies (the original and the remake are both pretty good)
The Changeling (very creepy ghost story, George C. Scott is excellent in it)
Re-Animator (gory but fun)

I don't rightly know if it can be called a "scary" movie - but it is still pretty much the most ..disturbing... film I've seen in a long time.

I am a big fan of Alfred Hitchock, actually was given a collection of his first movies he made after he came to the US with Peter Lorie, some are unbeviably funny.

Now what I believe is his masterpiece is  ' M '   filmed in Germany with English sub titals before he came here about a Child Molester. The station that aired this way old time film went blank just in the last few minutes of the film due to power outage, I have looked everywhere to find that film, so far no luck-----.

Then my favorite Alfred Hitchock Hour story aired in 1963 was the " The Hangover" with Jane Mansfield and Tony Randel-------- Lots of really wierd storys in the late 50-1960 the most disturbing are about evil children, the kind that are so realistic one wonders about their own kids.    

Mordern day Bullys that look so sweet, so caring and lovable as they torment those around them.   Tip offs are one never knows if the child is responcible for acts of arson or the death of neighborhood cats.    Lots of clues, close ups to the childs face as they lie or smerk when their lie is believed.  A Master to detail that we do not get in todays movies.

The really scarey thing is there is nothing SCIFI, no extra powers, to his actors, just a feeling that ---This can happen to you.

Speaking of vampire movies, which totally suck these days (NPI), 30 Days of Darkness was pretty good. Day Breakers also had its moments. It is dumb but better than Goth vampire romances.
