Even today....
My fears still come out when I see that classic scene where Linda Blair’s head spins around. 😵 Nothing has scared me so much since then. |
| OMG OP someone who has seen the foreign film, The Orphanage. Such a good film. |
|
Burnt Offerings scared me as a teenager, still remember how much!

| The Saw movies |
| The Hills Have Eyes |
I thought that was sad, not scary! Bawled my eyes out at the end |
| I think The Omen (1976). That the beautiful boy with the creamy white skin, and beautiful blue eyes was "The Beast" was terrifying...add the dark characters, the exceedingly beautiful good characters (Lee Remick, Gregory Peck) and the operatic sadistic music and well....the overall tone was deeply frightening. A classic. |
| Poltergeist was great. |
Scary?! I thought they were more comedy. |
| Two movies stuck with me, both lesser known I think: Event Horizon and The Cube. |
