I cant be the only chicken

The very first Halloween was very good starring Jamie Lee Curtis in her first film role - I'd forgotten about that one!

Cape Fear with Robert Mitcham was much better than the remake. Very creepy.
.

Not a fan of 'slasher' movies, but I do love a good ghost story or a science fiction. 'Woman in Black' was very scary and over ten years ago, I was traumatized by a Chinese horror called 'The Eye'....I believe the title in Chinese is 'Gin Gwai'.

With Halloween now looming, all the classic scary movies are out, so get your popcorn ready and be sure to turn the lights off, if you dare!

The thing about films like The Wicker Man and Don't Look Now is that the horror just creeps up on you right at the end.

Modern day gore and slash fests don't do anything for me except make me feel rather sick if I've watched a bit of one by accident. Wolf Creek was one...thought it was going to be a psychological thriller but it was awful!

I walked out of The Excorcist, sat in the cinema foyer with a book, and left my boyfriend in there until the end. I was only a teenager and it terrified me! The scariest film Ive watched as an adult was the original Wickerman with Edward Woodward ( I know theyve done a remake) I did like the old Dracula films and weren't scared of those.

If you have Netflix, Stranger Things is very good - scary but not too scary. A sort of grown up Goonies if you remember the film.

We went to see The Woman in Black in the theatre in London - it was really scary - the whole audience jumped at one point! Always wondered though why he went to the East Coast from London via Crewe

I remember going to the cinema with my boyfriend to see The Exorcist in the 70's.
It was really scary I can tell you, and scary films at that time never phased me at all.
When everyone left the cinema at the end, we were greeted by a group of church people handing out leaflets for people who felt affected by the film, offering spiritual help.

I'm not into films particularly & rarely watch one but do watch series like Wire in the Blood, blood & gore doesn't bother me & I watch quite a lot of the American series.

I'm more into reading than film watching, I go to bed & read, murder/mystery, psychological thrillers etc before going to sleep - never have nightmares. I live on my own in quite a secluded area, houses around me but fairly rural.

Feel safer here than I would in a town!!!!

Not horror but definitely scary, for me are

CAPE FEAR with Robert de Niro .....
Definitely scary

And

FROM DUSK TILL DAWN a Tarrantino film with Clooney & Tarrantino .... Typically weird

I remember shrinking in my chair at the cinema in Don't Look Now to avoid the knife.

The woman in black with Daniel Radcliffe is scary. Night of the Hunter Robert Mitcham. We watched a the Wicker Man again last week..........odd.

Now I know I am a coward reading all these posts - The Sound of Music is exciting enough for me!

When I was a teenager my friend and I would go to the local fleapit which specialised in horror films. Some were so bad they were funny and others were scary but nothing, I think, like the horror films of today. You wouldn't catch me watching one these days.

The Exorcist is good; scarily creepy but still quite ...intelligent?

And I love Psycho too. Seen it gazillions of times.

Thanks for that, lilyflower.
I recorded The Fall to watch in daytime.
I'll just delete it and not bother with the rest.
I did watch the other series, but that's so long ago I've forgotten how the last one ended, and don't need to be reminded.

The Minions are quite scary enough for me!

I haven't watched a scary film since I saw Alien - the one where she's persuaded to go to an Alien infested place with a tough group of Marine like soldiers and finds a little girl under the floor as the only survivor. I screeched my way through it - constant plot twists - and felt wrung out at the end. Had to get to the end though. But never again!
Don't mind creepy - I watched The Others and survived.

Shaun of the Dead is about my limit. I got about five seconds into American Horror Story before noping back out again!

Kitspurr I havent seen Dark Water, looks awful! I'll give it a go im not sure about sci-fi every time I watch something like that I fall asleep! meandashy

I love horror films, psychological scary films too. Infact any film that's NOT a romcom! All time favourite is psycho ? it's good to raise your blood pressure occasionally ?

I just cant bear horror films and haven't watched one for years. In fact I'm such a coward that anything with a rating above 12 is likely to get turned off!

As if it makes a difference- I'm ok if I watch them during the day !

I find the news enough to scare me

I don't like being scared so I don't watch em

I am a chicken too and can't watch the scary bits in a film. Neither can I take suspense, nor gory bits. My D and I watched 'The Fall' last night and, as the first two thirds were taken up with a graphically presented operation I hid my eyes for 40 minutes with my DH saying, 'Don't look yet. Wait until I tell you you can look. Definitely, don't look NOW!'

I have done a few of those 'Test your Personality' website quizzes for things like introspection, sociopathy (!!), sensitivity, narcicissm,Aspergers, emotion recognition in others and so on and I have confirmed what I suspected, I am hyper aware and hyper sensitive. In short, a bit of a snowflake.
