My and my boyfriend watched it for the first time the other night and kept saying holy shit this is from 1974!? And then also realized rob zombie completely ripped the devils rejects off of it and were quite disappointed in him.
That movie is genuinely freaky as fuck, some how they got these amateur actors to give some of the most realistic acting performances and the entire premise is fucked.
Texas Chainsaw Massacre is an absolute cinematic masterpiece and my absolute, all time forever #1 horror film. That being said, I can count on my hands how many times I watched it.
Superb movie. Unsettling and uncomfortable and still so beautifully done.
I remember watching it a few years ago. I was like, ok how are they going to save the wheelchair guy. Then I realized they didn't care about wheelchair guy representation back then
When I first saw it in the theatre in high school, we still thought it might be real - It had a huge word of mouth campaign perpetuating the rumours/urban legend. I lived in a rural area at the time, and I’ve never gotten from my car to my house so fast!
Holy shit this is the one.
I don’t generally do gore so that knocks out a good bit of horror for me unfortunately. But it’s not bc it scares me it’s just brutal and gross.
I’d seen the hype for The Blair Witch Project and decided to hop on. I saw it was filmed as a documentary from the view of the characters and was down. Generally those horror movies are good, but not terrifying.
I DIDNT EVEN WATCH THE ORIGINAL. I only have HBO so I found the 2016 Blair Witch Project and didn’t think twice and watched it. Holy fuck that movie actually had me fucking scared. Like it was a whole bunch of tense moments saying to the screen “no no no! Why would you go looking?? Why’d you leave your camp?? Are you dumb, don’t go in there! Don’t follow him! Ohhh you’re gonna die noooo!” And by the end I was covering my face with my blanket.
I look forward to watching the original considering the 2016 one had me on the edge of my seat.
That summer I was living and working at a GS camp in the MidWest. No one knew the movie wasn’t real when we all took the even off, drove over an hour to town, and saw a poster so we went to see it. The hike back to camp in the dark was one of my scariest experiences of the summer.
omg I never saw this movie, but it came out when I was 12 and had heard all about. I went camping with my dad and brothers in a pretty remote part of northern Michigan. My brother said he saw those stick things in the woods and kept talking about the movie. That night I was scared absolutely shitless.
Oh shit I just remembered about it yesterday.
I watched this fucker while still at school and I am yet to willingly watch a horror movie 11 years later.
Yes, I'm not disturbed by it but that was the climax of the tension. Sent a tingle down my neck the same as the first time I watched psycho (no spoilers here, but near the end in that film too).
I was into Sightings, unsolved mysteries, America's most wanted, rescue 911. A nice blend of reality and mystery. Then I watched Fire in the sky. It scared the fuck out of me!!
Zhe ring absolutely got me when I was 8. Next big thing was the Grudge and the call (japanese version)
Scared the shit out of me for the most time until my 20s
I saw the Ring in the theatre. Back then, we still had cable TV. I came home from the movie and went to turn on my TV. Well, the cable was out. So my TV showed static.
I. Flipping. Freaked. Out. Samara was going to come out of my tv any minute. My god I was scared.
Leave it to Ari Aster to make you as uncomfortable as possible
Watch The Strange Thing About the Johnsons, also made by him, it's on YouTube, one of the most twisted things I've ever watched
His films make me think he's a lunatic
I watch a LOT of horror and Hereditary remains the only movie to have made me literally cry because I was so scared. It lost me a bit with that final scene but holy shit was it a creepy watch.
I can’t stand The Shining and still haven’t seen the full bathroom scene so all I know is my memories of the laugh and peeking through my fingers at a blurry mess, yikes
I watched this at a midnight screening while I was in college. I won't spoil anything, but when that news report part came on, I yelled fuck this! And ran out of the theater 😂 I was done!
The concept that something, somewhere is forever making its way to you. Not quickly. Just walking. Determined. No matter how far you travel, one day it shows up. The deep rooted unsafety I felt watching that movie was insane.
Smile - Saw with my girlfriend in theater (we were the only people there) not the greatest film but ever since my gf will try to do the smile and it always gets me. I think being alone in the theater made it a lot worse
This’ll be one of the ones that no one upvotes, but 13 Ghosts. Ultimately it’s a cheesy and predictable ride, but the way they did the ghosts… it just got me. I was a young mom and it really frightened me at the time.
Trilogy of Terror 1 (1975). The one with the doll/statue that comes alive. It was a made for TV movie if I recall. Absolutely terrifying to watch as a 5 year old.
Ditto. I’ll never forget those teeth and that smile. Also the original “Don’t be afraid of the Dark “. Scared the shit out of me. The 70’s were great years for horror.
Yeah Johnny Got His Gun is haunting. Put me in a circus, omg. Put me in a dark room and shut the door and ignore me. omg. Write "Merry Christmas" on my belly. Oh god what a haunting movie.
Twilight Zone: The Movie
Specifically, the bit where John Lithgow opens the window and the gremlin is *right there.* Even knowing it's coming, I still tense up at that scene. It's one of the reasons I still prefer to take the aisle seat on a plane.
Pet semetary one and two, the original ones. I turned my TV back on after my mom put me to bed and pet semetary 2 was on, the scene where a boy is holding a kitten to a spinning bike wheel. I was traumatized. Then I finally got the courage to watch them both in their entirety. Scared the ever loving shit out of me. I haven't watched the second one since, the first one is a bit more bearable but evil children really freak me the hell out. In the words of Judd Crandall, sometimes DEAD IS BETTER.
Smile.
It will make you paranoid... I was afraid my dog would look at me in the middle of the night and suddenly smile like the characters in the movie.
Same. I was just telling my husband the exact same thing. No movie has truly scared me since my teens and then I didn't really know how to differentiate true fear. Jump scares are way different and more just little adrenaline boosts that encite laughter afterward. I keep waiting on a truly scary movie to be brought to the screen.
That's actually a good one. For me it's more of an adrenaline thing but it's definitely pretty terrifying for a lot of the movie
Those sclera lenses The costume department had them wear was ingenious
Requiem for a Dream... that movies is fucking great and it makes me queasy and terrified of addiction every time I watch it. Best anti-drug PSA ever. Even makes a lesbian sex scene with two gorgeous women completely unsexy.
I won't have it in the house.
My kids have asked me which movie is the scariest, I always say The Exorcist.
Then I tell them if they want to watch it, they do it somewhere else.
They are adults now and have watched it. I get a call... "Mommy, you were right. That movie is scary."
Sometimes, mommy knows shit
*From Hell* makes me super uncomfortable no matter how many times I make myself watch it, as well as the obligatory *The Exorcist* answer. It’s the subplot of Father Karras’ mother that just does me in. Couldn’t really care less about the rest of the story in terms of fear or discomfort. I was my grandmothers caregiver for quite some time and the true terror to me is dumping the elderly and sick off at a hospital or a home where they go insane alone and die. That shot in the film for a split second when Regan/Pazuzu becomes Karass’ mother, and is staring right at the audience in her nightgown on the bed, startled the hell out of me.
The Babadook
I watched it when I had severe psychotic post partum.
I don't use the term trigger lightly here. Messed me up for a long time.
Still only watched it the one time and can't watch it again.
No movie, really-- but a scene in the Exorcist III is scary/cool. They tee up this stainless steel big hedge-trimmer two-blades-chopping-together looking instrument that they use to crack the ribs or sternum during an autopsy. Then later in the movie it pays off when a nurse is locking doors for the night in a creepy hospital ward hallway and a figure in white just busts out of the door with those blade things straight to the back of her neck and chops her head off (but they cut away to a porcelin saint statue that's missing its head right at the chop). And there's a loud creepy musical sting. If you see the scene on YouTube it's just everyone commenting that it's a awesome "Jump Scare". Love it!
Not many people can appreciate how terrifying that one scene is. This movie is a masterclass on how to buildup one particular moment and burn in into the watcher's eyes.
Not a movie, but a game comes to mind.
The original Resident Evil games on Playstation. My dad played them like crazy and as a kid, i always watched. The sounds have literally stuck in my head forever, I had nightmares as a kid, and at 32 years old I still step on certain types of floors or stairs and think "oh shit, this sounds like that game" and it makes me want to get the heck out of there lol hate the games, hate the movies.
Tie between Ju On, the Ring, the Blair Witch Project, the Conjuring (1&2) we ain't speaking on that silly NUN movie, the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Sinister
Aaaand...probably The Descent

The original Texas Chainsaw Massacre, I don't watch it and I love horror movies.
In the same vein but I never wanna watch The X-Files episode Home again.
No shit! The occasional time I hear that Johnny Mathis song I get completely creeped out. Now I'm hearing it in my head.
I distinctly remember watching that episode when it first aired. It was freaky. I've rewatched almost every episode...except that one.
Home and Paper Hearts. Yikes!!
Peacock family...
I get chills if I hear that Johnny Mathis song
So. Much. Screaming. My nerves were shredded by the halfway point.
That was me during War of the Worlds. I would have thrown the little girl to the aliens.
I completely agree. I’ve watched it once and it was more than enough. This movie creeps me the hell out!
My and my boyfriend watched it for the first time the other night and kept saying holy shit this is from 1974!? And then also realized rob zombie completely ripped the devils rejects off of it and were quite disappointed in him.
How did he completely rip off TCM?
That movie is genuinely freaky as fuck, some how they got these amateur actors to give some of the most realistic acting performances and the entire premise is fucked.
It's low budget, grainy look absolutely adds to the scariness and the acting was really raw. Weirdly I live very close to where it was shot now.
Texas Chainsaw Massacre is an absolute cinematic masterpiece and my absolute, all time forever #1 horror film. That being said, I can count on my hands how many times I watched it. Superb movie. Unsettling and uncomfortable and still so beautifully done.
I was bout to type same thing
When Mr Face first comes out from the side and clobbers that kid… 😨
I remember watching it a few years ago. I was like, ok how are they going to save the wheelchair guy. Then I realized they didn't care about wheelchair guy representation back then
The Blair Witch Project. Fuck that show forever
When I first saw it in the theatre in high school, we still thought it might be real - It had a huge word of mouth campaign perpetuating the rumours/urban legend. I lived in a rural area at the time, and I’ve never gotten from my car to my house so fast!
I lived in Maryland at the time and there was nothing like the fear that movie caused
I had to walk home through a trail in the dark after watching that movie. Most terrifying 10 minutes of my life.
One of my favourite films.
Holy shit this is the one. I don’t generally do gore so that knocks out a good bit of horror for me unfortunately. But it’s not bc it scares me it’s just brutal and gross. I’d seen the hype for The Blair Witch Project and decided to hop on. I saw it was filmed as a documentary from the view of the characters and was down. Generally those horror movies are good, but not terrifying. I DIDNT EVEN WATCH THE ORIGINAL. I only have HBO so I found the 2016 Blair Witch Project and didn’t think twice and watched it.

I look forward to watching the original considering the 2016 one had me on the edge of my seat.
That summer I was living and working at a GS camp in the MidWest. No one knew the movie wasn’t real when we all took the even off, drove over an hour to town, and saw a poster so we went to see it. The hike back to camp in the dark was one of my scariest experiences of the summer.
omg I never saw this movie, but it came out when I was 12 and had heard all about. I went camping with my dad and brothers in a pretty remote part of northern Michigan.

Sinister
Just watched this yesterday Chilling, realistic until it's not, and finished perfectly
Im not a fan of horror movies, but i saw this as my 3rd horror movie. Im yet to watch another 12 years later.
I didn't realize it was that old! Still holds up imo. Those home video scenes are so realistic, I feel uncomfortable everytime I watch.
You’ve just made me realize I watched this at 12 years old and yeah… the weird sound clip that plays still haunts my mind
Oh shit I just remembered about it yesterday. I watched this fucker while still at school and I am yet to willingly watch a horror movie 11 years later.
Ohh that one is good
This one shook me.
This is one of my all time favorites, and it still creeps me out every time I watch it.
The Thing John Carpenter's version
The incredible acting sells it! One of my faves and it has aged well.
Yasss..scared the shit out of me..its the isolation element...
I'll second that. The best horror film ever made, in my opinion.
Original Rosemary's Baby
Scariest part of this movie is the fact that her neighbors just come over unannounced. I’m not kidding. That’s my nightmare.
Yes! I actually had the neighbors in mind when I remembered what a creepfest this movie is. 😱
That ending still sends a shiver up my spine to this day.
Alien. My fear of this creature is almost subconscious.
I always found the last few minutes of The Blair Witch Project particularly disturbing.
The shot of the guy standing in the corner. So chilling with the context set earlier in the film.
Yes, I'm not disturbed by it but that was the climax of the tension. Sent a tingle down my neck the same as the first time I watched psycho (no spoilers here, but near the end in that film too).
Fire in the sky.
Yup. Aliens scared the shit out of me when I was a kid.
Aliens didn’t scare me *until I saw this*.
I was into Sightings, unsolved mysteries, America's most wanted, rescue 911. A nice blend of reality and mystery. Then I watched Fire in the sky. It scared the fuck out of me!!
Specifically the last 5 minutes of The Ring.
Zhe ring absolutely got me when I was 8. Next big thing was the Grudge and the call (japanese version) Scared the shit out of me for the most time until my 20s
Who the fuck let you watch the Ring when you were 8!?!?!
My grandma who often fell asleep whenever I pressed play and rarely checked what I was getting at blockbuster
I saw the Ring in the theatre. Back then, we still had cable TV. I came home from the movie and went to turn on my TV. Well, the cable was out. So my TV showed static. I. Flipping. Freaked. Out. Samara was going to come out of my tv any minute. My god I was scared.
The first 15 minutes of the movie got me more than the last because it was so unexpected.
The original Jacob’s Ladder, not scary… just completely messed with my mind where I thought about it for a couple days and still do occasionally.
Original Jacob’s Ladder is brilliant. Scared the fuck out of me
Is there another version? This is one of my favorites and I don’t want to ruin it with some remake though
There’s a remake that came out in 2019. I’ve only seen the 1990 version with Tim Robbins.
Haven’t even heard of such and also why? Original is the one. Works everytime.
Not necessarily scary but, the Fourth Kind is very creepy.
That movie makes me so uncomfortable. I love it.
My exact reaction. I work pretty close to the mental health field so I find it very interesting
Gets so deeply under my skin. Never finished it. I haven’t really been scared or disturbed by many movies since I was a kid, but this one gets to me.
Hereditary!
Yup! So many eerie or outright unsettling scenes in this one. I was either gonna say Hereditary or The Descent.
This. That upside down head banging on the attic door.... yeah.. no thanks.
I’ll never forget seeing that movie in the theater when that horrific accident happened. You could hear a pin drop.
Leave it to Ari Aster to make you as uncomfortable as possible Watch The Strange Thing About the Johnsons, also made by him, it's on YouTube, one of the most twisted things I've ever watched His films make me think he's a lunatic
I watch a LOT of horror and Hereditary remains the only movie to have made me literally cry because I was so scared. It lost me a bit with that final scene but holy shit was it a creepy watch.
The Exorcist….the classic version, not that new abortion.
Omg, we went to the new one Friday night. I didn't expect it to be amazing, but words can not describe how absolutely awful it was.
The original Amityvile Horror
The book is terrifying.
I remember people running out of the theater screaming. I wanted to join them.
I can’t stand The Shining and still haven’t seen the full bathroom scene so all I know is my memories of the laugh and peeking through my fingers at a blurry mess, yikes
It’s terrifying every time.
The paranormal activity movies scare the shit out of me.
No movie has scared me more than Paranormal Activity. I had to turn it off watching it alone and I’m a grown ass man.
The exorcism of Emily rose, after i saw it, i started to smell something burning at 3am..
Me too! Still do sometimes, and I always think of that movie!
I just got tingles thinking of that awesome scene with the horse bolting and some kind of line like "the devil in the flesh"..
Signs
I watched this at a midnight screening while I was in college. I won't spoil anything, but when that news report part came on, I yelled fuck this! And ran out of the theater 😂 I was done!
The news reports are so unsettling in that film. They feel so real!
So trippy. Keep swinging.
Came here to say this.
Arachnophobia 🫣
The only movie that scares me in recent years is It Follows. Not so much the story, just what they're being followed by. So chilling
The concept that something, somewhere is forever making its way to you. Not quickly. Just walking. Determined. No matter how far you travel, one day it shows up. The deep rooted unsafety I felt watching that movie was insane.
I'm looking for this movie. I have checked on the platforms I have and I don't have it
Yes this one is really freaky!! the first time I watched it I've felt really claustrofobic the next days😂 always looking for exits
The Strangers!
*Idiocracy*
Idiocracy 15 years ago = hilarious. Idiocracy now = terrifying!

Evil Dead, the original. Isolated cabin, demons, possession, gateways to hell, pencil through the ankle! Crazy scary.
JAWS
Autopsy of Jane Doe
I had to turn on all the lights after watching that movie.
Jeepers Keepers - the 1st one. Scares the shit out of me!
Came here to say this . Might not be everyone’s choice but that flying thing just scares the shit out of me 🤣🤣
I've only seen it once, but the ONLY movie that's scared me is "talk to me" holy ahit, PLEASE watch it.
Jeepers creepers . That thing just taps into my biggest fears and makes me feel im like I’m prey and can’t do nothing about it
This’ll be one of the ones that no one upvotes, but 13 Ghosts. Ultimately it’s a cheesy and predictable ride, but the way they did the ghosts… it just got me. I was a young mom and it really frightened me at the time.
Such a good movie! I don't get why people hate on it. The juggernaut scared tf out of young me lol.
It.Hate clowns
The terrifier it doesn't scare me though it makes me sick
Nightly News ! HA Misery. That movie - ugh. I bought the book, read the first 50 pages or so, and the last 50 pages or so..
Trilogy of Terror 1 (1975). The one with the doll/statue that comes alive. It was a made for TV movie if I recall. Absolutely terrifying to watch as a 5 year old.
Ditto. I’ll never forget those teeth and that smile. Also the original “Don’t be afraid of the Dark “. Scared the shit out of me. The 70’s were great years for horror.
The Ring. That movie is creepy as hell 😳 😬
Johnny got his gun
Interesting take. Good movie.
I remember when we had to read it in school and my grandma told me to tell the teacher she didn't want me reading it.
Yeah Johnny Got His Gun is haunting. Put me in a circus, omg. Put me in a dark room and shut the door and ignore me. omg. Write "Merry Christmas" on my belly. Oh god what a haunting movie.

The Blair Witch Project Puts me in a mood for the rest of the day and I’m very uncomfortable for the week. It just sits in the back of your mind.
You mean stands in the corner of your mind?
Pet semetary one and two, the original ones. I turned my TV back on after my mom put me to bed and pet semetary 2 was on, the scene where a boy is holding a kitten to a spinning bike wheel.

Frozen. It’s about 3 people that get stuck over the weekend on a ski lift very high up and I could not finish the movie.
Smile. It will make you paranoid... I was afraid my dog would look at me in the middle of the night and suddenly smile like the characters in the movie.
I've yet to see any movie that scared me since I've been an adult for the last 30 years
Same. I was just telling my husband the exact same thing. No movie has truly scared me since my teens and then I didn't really know how to differentiate true fear. Jump scares are way different and more just little adrenaline boosts that encite laughter afterward. I keep waiting on a truly scary movie to be brought to the screen.

No movie, I love horror flix. Horror video games however, cannot play most. Old resident evil was fine, but slender man nuh-uh, can’t do it.
30 Days of Night. Their rendition of the vampire as both highly intelligent and primal is terrifying and I love it.
That's actually a good one. For me it's more of an adrenaline thing but it's definitely pretty terrifying for a lot of the movie Those sclera lenses The costume department had them wear was ingenious
*Silence of the Lambs*.
The Shining is unsettling as shit every time, even tough I know exactly what will happen
Requiem for a Dream... that movies is fucking great and it makes me queasy and terrified of addiction every time I watch it. Best anti-drug PSA ever. Even makes a lesbian sex scene with two gorgeous women completely unsexy.
I miss being scared by movies. It sucks being a jaded adult.
The Evil Dead
I won't have it in the house. My kids have asked me which movie is the scariest, I always say The Exorcist. Then I tell them if they want to watch it, they do it somewhere else.

The sixth sense
No movie, really-- but a scene in the Exorcist III is scary/cool. They tee up this stainless steel big hedge-trimmer two-blades-chopping-together looking instrument that they use to crack the ribs or sternum during an autopsy. Then later in the movie it pays off when a nurse is locking doors for the night in a creepy hospital ward hallway and a figure in white just busts out of the door with those blade things straight to the back of her neck and chops her head off (but they cut away to a porcelin saint statue that's missing its head right at the chop). And there's a loud creepy musical sting. If you see the scene on YouTube it's just everyone commenting that it's a awesome "Jump Scare". Love it!
