The Scariest Movies Ever

[Kirukelgyr]

Alrighty, I have posted a question for you all. I wish for us all to relate the most hilarious story of us watching a too scary horror movie. Or even just saying what was the scariest movie you have ever seen.

Please tell us all what the movie was about, so that the most curious of us all may know what movies they are or may become intrigued and go see them.

Everyone must participate, (Even YOU Jette, I'll do it too. I expect we'll find something humorous about a scary movie that might have scared us when we were two...)

Please, no spoilers, as that is sad.

Alright, a humorous memory of a horror movie goes back to when I was at an impressionable age, watching all the Jurassic Park and Tremors movies I could get my hands on. When I was five, the movie 'Tremors' came out on TV.

Tremors is about these worm-like monsters which can sense vibrations from movement underground. They like to eat humans, and eat about six I think (you only witness four of these deaths) and you never actually see the people die. (aka, no blood) There is a lot of swearing, so it is rated PG-13. It is actually a really funny movie, as the characters are hilarious.

So there is a scene in Tremors when one of these semi-sized evil wormy things (later in the second, very crappy movie, dubbed 'Graboids') busts through the basement wall into the basement (no dip) of the Survivalist Family's house, they promptly take a few guns off of their wall and start shooting this thing. About eight guns later (five minutes), the husband (Bert) whips out a elephant gun and unloads THAT into the evil monster. It then dies.

Little me, enraptured by this whole idea (I was five at the time, as I said before) turns to my mom and says: "AGAIN! AGAIN!" (as my vocabulary was very limited.)

Alrighty, that might not be too funny, but so far I haven't been humorously freaked out by a horror movie. (*cough*MA*cough*)

Alright! You're guyses turn!

TREMORS. That's one of my favourite movies. Burt and Heather! That's Reba, you know. <3

Anyway.. I think the scariest movie I've ever seen has got to be "The House on Haunted Hill". It's about this group of people that go to a severely haunted old Mental Asylum... and their minds play tricks with them and... it gets pretty damn scary. Rated R, mind you.

I was on the floor of my den with my friend, Jessica, and my mom was on the couch. We were already CLUNG to each other in fright, and my cat (Xoey) was doing her thing where she just STARES at you.

At a really scary part, Jessica shot off of the floor and sat next to my mom -- leaving me down there alone, in the dark, with that scary movie. The muttering, faceless ghost in the straight jacket could have EASILY come out of the TV and gotten me.

Jessica laughed wickedly and said, "Ha, now YOU'RE down there with XOEY!" I glanced at the cat ... and her staring sent me into orbit, so I launched myself onto the couch as well... consequently sending a bit of popcorn flying in my attempt to jump the three feet between my self and the couch as quickly as possible.

Ah, the sad thing is, I knew what movie I would write about as soon as I saw the title for this thread? So, what was the scariest movie of all time for me? The answer to that is quite simple: Arachnophobia. Gah, just saying that still gives me the shivers.

So let me take you back a few years, shall I? This was way back in the day when the Liege of Inebriated Primates was still little more than a Page Boy of Random Goofiness. Now I've always been deathly afraid of spiders, and knowing this, my parents decided to let themselves indulge in some old fashioned sadistic fun.

For those of you who have never seen the movie or are unaware of the particular phobia for which it gets its name, it's about spiders.

That's right.

Spiders.

Not just any type of spiders either. Oh no. We're talking about big, scary, oh-my-god-what's-that-furry-tennis-ball-behind-me type spiders. Giant tarantulas.

So to make a long story short, I watched this movie from beginning to end, fighting a constant valiant battle not to wet myself the entire time. After it was over, I failed to fall asleep for three days and checked every hat, shoe, and shower head (watch the movie, you'll understand why) to make sure it was free from eight legged freakiness.

Oh, I suppose it's my turn now. The scariest movie I've ever seen would have to be The Blair Witch Project. Through this, keep in mind I was 7.

For those of you who haven't seen the Blair Witch Project, it's about a group of three college students who are going to do a film project on an urban legend, the Blair Witch. They go into these woods and get lost, and so on.

There is one scene towards the very end where two of them are in a house, and you see one of them drop to the floor. At this point, I let out with scary, hysterical laughter. I thought it was funny. My mother didn't. I was sitting right behind her when I did it. She jumped up, screamed at the top of her lungs, and then hid under a blanket, which made me laugh harder.

So, who's next?

[Oz]

God, that is whatever happens to me now whenever I watch a scary movie. People hate bringing me along because I always laugh my ass off. I can't help it! I seriously can't. Nothing makes me laugh harder than horror movies.

It's great, especially when you go with people that take horror movies very seriously. Nothing feels as good as making someone you really dislike leave a room because you find their worst nightmare completely hilarious.

[Kirukelgyr]

Dude, have you seen The Ring?

That must be the most hilarious horror movie EVER. My big brother was screaming as I laughed.

*sighs* Too bad I can't see The Ring 2. Parents believe I am still impressionable.

[Jette Vonavisca]

*Pats Furball on head* Don't worry Furball, I get to see it in 2 days. I'll tell you all about it.

[Kirukelgyr]

Much love to you, Jette.

Okay. I'll go again. This one is about Alien.

Alien is a movie created in 1977 (give or take a few years) It takes place on the ship the Nostromo a comercial ship (carring 20,000,000 tons of ore), where the seven crew members are on a return trip to Earth. They're about halfway home when they're woken up from hypersleep to check out a becon from a currently unknown planet called LV14. They land on this planet (carbon monoxide and dioxide, methane, and maybe some nitrogen in the atmostphere. Yes. I have seen this movie over 4 times) and three of the characters (Lambert, Kane, and Captain Dallas) explore the homing becon. They find an alien ship, totally deserted. Kane explores this crevise to find some eggy things. One of them reacts to his flashlight, and a little face-sucker shoots out of the egg and attaches to his face. Lambert (navigator) and Captain Dallas carry him back to the ship (A pod, more likely. Not the entire ship, which is still in orbit), and the science officer (Ash) lets them in. Things happen, and the face-sucker dies. Kane is fine. Then when Kane wakes up all of the people are eating at the table when Kane starts thrashing around and an Alien comes out of his chest. Long story short, the Alien grows big fast and starts hunting down the rest of the crew. This movie is rated R for violence and swearing. I'm serious about the swearing.

The characters are Captain Dallas, Lambert (navigator), Kane (unknown), Ash (science officer), Ripley (pilot), Jones (cat, not included in crew log, but there all the same), Parker and Brett (engineers)

Alright. Not so long ago I went to Disney World with my family, and they have a ride called the 'Great Movie Ride'. And this ride features my now-beloved Alien. So I asked my Dad if I could see it. He said yes. My Mom gave in, thinking I would be terrified. Alright. So I had to wait four months and several days until smaller children were out of the house. I then proceeded to watch Alien, being quite bored. I watched Aliens (the sequel) right after it (my favorite), and was about to pop in Alien 3 when the family came home. So I had to stop.

I brought Alien to MA's house, after being with her when she first saw The Village, I decided it would be a very funny experience to watch her watch this horror movie. (Yes, I was cruel, MA)

We pop in the movie, MA complains about its slow start. The moment Kane's about to die, I have to fast forward because MA's already cowering. We start up again with the Alien running across the table. MA shrieks, and I have to explain to her that nothing happened.

Time comes for the next character (Brett) is chasing after Jones while Ripley and Parker are off somewhere else. As he stares at the cat, the Alien appears behind him and with as much drama as you say, punches a hole in him and carries him off by his head. MA didn't survive this either. She shrieked again and covered her face even before it happened of course, I was beginning to feel bad, so I asked her if she wanted to stop. Let the record show that she said:

"I'm fine. Keep going."

So now the cast of Alien has come up with a clever plan to kill the alien. Ripley volunteers to do the dirty work, but Dallas says that he's going instead. Long story short, he's crawling around these ducts with a flame thrower. Lambert is panicking, saying that the alien is coming right for him. He looks up this ladder he's just climbed and you see a flicker of shadow. Lambert's really panicking now, screaming at him to go and get out. He climbs down another ladder, looks one way, looks the other right into the alien's still-white-face you see the alien snarl and then the 'tape' shorts out and we're back with Lambert.

MA really screams when you see the alien. She screamed loudly and threw herself sideways so not to look at it, breathing rapidly. This of course was right after the tape 'shorted' out, so I paused the movie and had to calmly tell her what happened.

From there on out, she was a little bit better, but as the cast dwindles down until at last only one person is left, there is only one last surprise. And yes, you guessed it. MA freaks out. She gets to the point where I have to warn her five minutes in advance when the alien is coming up.

I felt bad afterwards, and told her we probably shouldn't watch Aliens (which I had brung also, in case she survived Alien) And do you know what MA does?

"Oh, I wasn't scared. Bring it on, Furball."

I'm sorry, MA, that I had to relate this, do not be angry. But you have to admit...it was funny.

(BTW) Spoiler-ish names have been whited out. If you wish to know, hi-light them. Yes, I told you about Kane. But everyone knows about Kane. The next deaths have been censored out and you still don't know who survives.

[Jette Vonavisca]

Ok, Furball. Here it is. The Ring twO.

I went and saw The Ring Two Friday with my friend and her sister. The movie wasn't all that good, but the effects were awesome. I also managed to ruin this movie for the two. We had the theatre to ourselves, so I added commentary. One particular part, the main character is walking up to (Insert name here)'s truck to talk to (Insert name here). At this point, my friend's sister has her head turned with her hands over her eyes. I decided to add comentary to this certain point. So I start humming the Jaws theme. When she opens the truck door, I grabbed her. She jumped and screamed. My friend and myself laughed. Hard.

[The ASW]

Alien is the effingest scariest movie ever. I watched the first one when I was little and my parents made me leave the room when the Alien pops out of Kane.

Did you know that Kane is the same guy as Ollivander in Harry Potter?

Sorry... had to share that info.

For anyone who hasn't seen Alien Vs. Predator... GO SEE IT. It's fun if you've seen all the Alien and Predators first though. You get the jokes.

[Kirukelgyr]

Oo! oo! I finally saw it, the ASW!

*hugs self* I'm in love! Did you see that one Alien take out two of those fishne...er...Predators?! That was so awesome. I was totally rooting for the Aliens the entire time.

My friend told me that Alien lost before I saw it. But she was wrong.

Alien could never lose to someone in fishnets.

I must admit though, they made Predator a lot cooler in this version. In the other two he's rather sucky.

Masterful job on Alien though, I laughed so hard when that one guy got cornered by the Aliens.

My brother and I held bets on who would take the advantages. And while we knew that Predator could beat Alien at chess, Alien could totally thrash Predator when it came to hand-to-hand combat. *beams happily* Oo! It was so...awesome.

The plot wasn't that great though. It was decent for something that had to bring Alien and Predator to a face off, but it was really...weird. I liked the movie of course (as you can see) and once I finish paying my parents back, I will proceed to purchase it. Along with the 9-DVD complete set of Alien (for who knows how much money). *drools*

My brother and I also made predictions about who would live and who would die. I won. Totally and completely. My brother has yet to figure out which characters are created to die to make the situation look desperate.

Oh drat. I've been ranting about AvP again...^^ Okays, quick story...

We had just finished watching AvP, and I was practicing my Alien immitation. My brother was falling asleep on the couch, so being the kind, considerate sister that I am, I proceeded to practice it on him.

He screamed so loud that my Da woke up in the other room, and pulled back so hard the couch moved like, three inches across the floor.

It twas awesome.

*ahem* dudes, does Furball have the strangest obsessions or what?

[Jette Vonavisca]

*Nods* Yes, Furball does have the strangest obsessions. But, then again, don't we all? Anyway....

Myself and my mother were watching the Blair Witch Project 2 last night. Considering the fact that she knows that I enjoy scaring the bejesus out of her during movies, she was very cautious. In the beginning, anyway. About halfway through, she relaxed a bit. Then, I struck. When the group of people were exploring the ruins of the witch's house, I grabbed her arm and screamed "She'll get you!" She screamed. Really, really loud. She screamed so loud that our neighbor had to come over and ask if everything was alright. It was good.
