So thought I'd bump this thread. As undercover said, movies don't really "scare" me anymore.
But some of these ones spooked me...- The Shining
- Blair Witch Project
- Event HorizonMOre recently The Descent was freaky...too gory...but was well done.

Session 9 and Jacob's Ladder had some creepy moments. I hate scary movies that rely on shock horror instead of psychological horror. When a scary movie can combine both, its a great movie. For instance, take the Jason movies. Nothing scary about those to me. So you jumped out from behind the curtains, that doesn't induce terror. Compare that with The Descent. Yes, it had its share of shock terror but it also created a nice psychological meld to it as well. The low lighting, the claustrophobia. It can play with your head. Thats why movies like The Shining are so great. They induce more fear than any crappy slasher flick ever will.

Well said Freeze. Never have liked the shock terror ones...the Scream movies for instance. Rubbish. The ones that get in your head are the best. I'd say The Shining, Seven and Silence of the Lambs are my favorite psychological ones.

Funny that someone mentioned Jesus Camp here. I've always said that it's the scariest film ever made since first seeing it a few years ago.
Truly terrifying.
