Probably watching The Shining when I was 7. That scared the everloving piss out of me. Not many films have "scared" me since then though. Session 9 creeped me out quite a bit.
It's been a very long time since a horror film legitimately frightened me. I can't really think of any since I was a kid.
This is probably kinda lame, but The Ring (yeah, the American version) actually spooked me out quite a bit. I'm something of a connoisseur of horror movies, so it's not like I'm just a total pussy or anything (maybe I am, but not for that specific reason), it's just that particular movie, the first time I watched it, just fucked with my head.
Every subsequent viewing after the first, I just found it stupid, but for some reason I can't explain, that first time... I had trouble getting to sleep that night.
The Serpent and the Rainbow. I saw it in the movie theater when I was about 7 or 8. I don't remember any particular scenes, nor have I seen it since- I just remember having to close my eyes alot because I was terrified.
...Why aren't we married again?
I love love LOVE The Serpent and the Rainbow, one of my very favorite horror films and probably Craven's best film after the original Nightmare on Elm Street. That movie is a total classic!
Seriously, isn't there a limit to how cool you're allowed to be?
If only you would move to PA... we could marry, watch endless hours of ECW and horror movies, drink massive amounts of whiskey, have stimulating conversation about the ways of the world all while listening to The Doors.
So you're saying I should give it another go, eh? I think I'm old enough to give it a whirl now.
Absolutely not. I sweat coolness.
A horror connoisseur eh? Dexter, did you REALLY need to give me yet another reason to love you? Haha, what's your favorite horror film bud? I'm known around these parts as the horror-phile (JMT, TDigs and Cowboyfromhell are as well).
I've got a deep respect for the classics. The Exorcist, The Shining, Amityville Horror, Omen, Children of the Corn, Misery, Aliens. Helps that I was around when several of those first came out. Big fan of most of Craven's work, of course, and George Romero (if you can even call that horror... not sure I would).
As for modern horror... I'm going to destroy my credibility here and say that I enjoyed Saw 1 and 3. The rest were shit, but those two, I found pretty inspired. I tend to appreciate moody horror over shock horror, so I count Event Horizon among my favorites because it nailed "moody". Recently, I enjoyed Drag Me to Hell and Grindhouse.
Dex:
A) Halloween. Greatest horror film ever made. Dare you argue?
I can't believe you even need to ask Milky. Obviously the original.
Halloween > GOD!
