I quite like watching scaries from time to time, but I prefer a thriller. Have you seen Dark Water with Jennifer Connolly? I watched Before I Go To Sleep with Nicole Kidman & Colin Firth recently - a mystery thriller. I stumbled across a sc-fi horror the other night, called Prometheus, and was surprised that I enjoyed watching it, not being a sci-fi fan.

I don't watch scary films - I've never got over watching Psycho and that was in about 1967!

I do not like scary movies, in fact last nights episode of The Fall I found scary.

I have never watched scary movies. I don't mind serial killers, blood and gore but I hate the feeling of tension and then that moment that makes you jump

The scariest one I've seen lately was The Others with Nicole Kidman. It was so creepy and managed to make me terrified of Eric Sykes of all people.

I quite like scary films so long as I've got someone with me who doesn't take the mickey when I hide behind a cushion.

The Hitcher with Rutger Hauer. It was the scariest film I had ever watched. Also the recent version of The Woman in Black, with Daniel Radcliffe, was very creepy and I certainly wouldn't want to sit through it again.

I don't mind scary films but don't do blood and gore I prefer a psychological thriller like Psycho or Sixth Sense.

Psycho was enough for me!

My days of watching scary films are over, but at the time I found Carrie very unnerving and more recently The Ring - very creepy with some shocking moments!

The scariest one I've seen was an oldie, the 1945 version of The Picture of Dorian Gray. I've looked on youtube and you don't seem to be able to get the full version, only the trailer and snippets.

Last night I thought I would watch a scary film, not that I particularly like them but once in a while I feel like I should give those films another go. you never know maybe they make a good one suddenly. Last night I watched the babadook I missed half the film because I was looking away. what a waste! why do I keep watching these films when I dont actually enjoy them?

I want to watch a GOOD scary film, any ideas? I cant be the only one who loves to hate the scary stuff confused
