What's your favorite horror movie and what's the scariest movie scene you ever saw ?

i couldnt pick just one horror movie,

alien-just an unreal amazingly scary movie

jaws-probably my favorite movie of all time. such good tension!

A Nightmare On Elm St.- i know this series is pretty cheesy, but the thought of a burnt child killer than can kill you in your dreams scared the crap out of me!

Silence of the lambs-not an out and out 'horror' movie but it does have one of my favorite scary scenes of all time-when clarece is in the house with Jame Gumm and he shuts the light off and and you see through his night vision goggles! Gets me every time!

More Recently [REC] had alot of great scary moments, the whole last 5 minutes of that movie i couldnt move!

The original Halloween scared me when I was ten or so. It scared me BAD. I wouldn't sleep at night and I kept thinking that Michael Myers was standing in my closet (my closet didn't have a door and any sign of a white shirt made me think of Michael's mask and I'd have to work up my courage to turn a light on to prove to myself that Michael wasn't in my closet). I got over my fear after I watched Halloween again and again until it wasn't scary.

The scene that scared me and freaked me out the most was definitely the closet scene when Michael was trying to break into the closet where Laurie was hiding. Scared the HELL out of me.

My second favorite horror movie is Rob Zombie's remake of Halloween. It was a welcome break from all of those horrible sequels IMO.

the first sequel wasnt so bad.

IMHO the remake was rubbish! The most frightening part of the original was there was no rhyme nor reason to Meyers' evil..He just was. Plain and simple. And Zombie had to make a sob story out of him, he was picked on and bullied at school,had a disabled drunk dad,slutty mean sister,stripper mom. It took away from everything that made the first Halloween and Meyers so scary!

My favourite horror flick would be The Hills Have Eyes (the remake of a couple of years ago)

And the scariest scene I remember, which made the most impact at the age I was then, was from Pet Semetary, aprox the last 15 minutes.. Cage cutting the old man's tendons and the house set on fire at the end. Not so scary now, but it made quite an impact then. :)

The original Halloween was a good "watch once" horror movie, where the relentlessness of this impassive killer almost became a character on its own, similar to Schwarzenegger in the first Terminator movie.

On second and subsequent viewings I found I started going "Hang on - that would have killed him. There's no way he should be getting up and having another go after that." The only way his survival works on anything other than a first viewing is if there is a supernatural explanation, and no explanataion is ever offered. Fine for "watch once," not so good for repeated viewings.

Scariest movie I ever saw. Hmmmm, a couple come to mind, but none of them are new. the original Haunting of Hill House with Claire Bloom. Black and white, creepy statues that move when you look away, the 1933 version of Dracula with Bela Lugosi never been equalled for atmosphere and the original Night of the Living Dead. Maybe I'm getting old

Jaws. Hands down one of the best movies I have ever seen. I saw it as a kid and it captivated me. The scenes on the Orca with Brody, Quint and Hooper are some of the best ever filmed IMHO.

However, Some of the scariest movie scenes for me involve; the Excorcist, The Shining (Kubricks version where Jack is bellowing as he's asleep and the music is creepy freaks me out everytime), Paranormal activity was scary as heck especially with all the screaming at the end and even though it isnt as scary as those mentioned before; the Deadites in Evil Dead are so gleefully and happily evil and the way the makeup was done makes for some very scary antagonists indeed.

Halloween, the original by far!!! It keeps you guessing and surprises you at every turn!!

can't say it's my favorite, but i remember the movie, dark shadows, i believe it was called, saw it at the lode in hoton. line all the way down shelden. scene toward the end, barnabas, as i recall, wearing this blue shirt, pool, blue water of the pool, and barnabas meets his end. blood. lots of blood. pool water. blood. lots of red cloudy blood in the blue water.

there was a television show, dark shadows, a werewolf, and that new thing sk might or might not be working on is all right by me. nightmares about werewolves, running in pacs of three, blame goldilocks, i figure, her and her boodwa. oops, did i swear? karly had to go sand in the corner when he was reading the story. teach thought he was swearing. didn't know ow to pronounce poorridge but he knew what it was. oatmeal.

in the remake, i expect blood, blue water, and oatmeal.
