I am talking real fear. You have to have been so scared you thought of the film a good couple of days after you watched it.

What might not even scare one person, might terrify another. It depends on the individual, so be honest, even if you don't think anybody else will think it's scary.

 

Ha!

Well...maybe not that horrible....but still pretty bad!!

A hundred years from now, the only version of the movie that anyone will remember will be the DVD version [of the Special Edition], and you’ll be able to project it on a 20’ by 40’ screen with perfect quality. I think it’s the director’s prerogative, not the studio’s to go back and reinvent a movie." - George Lucas

Bump!

The scene in Flash Gordon where they stick their hands inside the log was scary as hell.

I was reminded of something by another thread about Rod Serling's anthology series. There was also this, and it was scary folks.

 

In 1973 there was an anthology type movie shown on T.V. that scared the living daylights out of me.  The film presents three allegedly true stories of the supernatural. The film was "Rod Serling’s Encounters with the Unknown".  The part that sacred me the most was the second story of the film called "The Hole". I have seen other people my age (I was 7 in 1973) comment on how they had a similar reaction to it.

        THE FLY with Jeff Goldblum. I felt queasy for a week after.

        The single most terrifying SCENE in a movie, for me, would be the 'Swinging In A Tube' sequence in the EM film THE ISLAND. On the big screen I felt that I was swinging with them and nearly had to leave the theater.

I've been trying to get scared a lot this Halloween season. Watching as many horror films as possible. Seems like nothing really works.

It's very rare for me to be scared by a film.

One rare example for me was a film idea that scared me without having seeing the film yet.

If you have seen Audition (1999) there is 'that bag'.

A friend of mine who has sadly since died, had just seen the film and went into great detail about the plot, particularly dwelling on 'the bag'.

I stayed in a house in Brighton (where my mother lives) for a while and the  front window opened out to a very narrow alley behind the post sorting office.

They were rather wee attractive old buildings and we would frequently be pestered in the daytime by people gawping through the windows like they were some sort of living museum thing.

One night I was typing away on my laptop and in front of me and below the window the better half was typing away on his and I noticed this lank haired woman looking into the house lit up by the nearby yellow street lamp.

I commented on the cheek of the woman and gave her a sarcastic wave.

Without raising her head to reveal her face through her long locks of black hair she raised her hand and slowly waved back.

I was then reminded of the description of the Japanese lass in that film and imagined us both ending up in 'that bag'.

She hung around for a few minutes and we had both worked ourselves up into such a fear through bouncing the notion between us that we couldn't bring ourselves to tell her to bugger off.

Did someone make a joke about the prequels yet?
