When I was a kid, the scariest movie in existence was "Night of the Living Dead." All the dead folks came back to life, and went walking around with their arms out, like a cartoon sleepwalker, moaning and groaning and looking for normal folk in order to EAT THEM. It was the most horrifying film ever.
Several years back I rented it to show my kids the world's scariest movie. And it wasn't scary at all anymore. The dead folk just looked silly, their moans sounded ridiculous, and I laughed when they were fighting over some poor schmuck's intestines.
I guess it's all relative.
Happy Halloween!
Like Maggie said, it's relative. When I was a kid, The Haunting (1963 version) scared the daylights out of me. Also, The House on Haunted Hill.
Nowadays, I don't watch a lot of movies. I don't like blood & gore. I'm still irritated with TV Stevie for taking me to Jurassic Park on our anniversary the year that movie came out.
I'd rather read a scary book.
Considering the fact that as a child I was afraid of the monsters on Sesame Street, I've not taken in a whole lot of scary movies. But I'd have to say that the one that freaked me out the worst was an older movie called, I think, Crowhaven Farm. I don't remember a whole lot about it, likely because I was hiding behind a blanket being 'protected' by my boyfriend at the time. Now, oddly enough, having made that confession, Bram Stoker's Dracula is one of my all time favourite movies I'm a weirdo, I know.
One of the scariest movies I've seen is a fairly recent one...Darkness Falls. It's about the tooth fairy. Yeah, I know, I know. But I slept with the lights on for two days and I was thirty at the time!
However, the scariest movie is Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, the original version. That movie is just plain creepy!
