   As an adult, I very rarely get actually scared by movie anymore. I remember though when I was young I watched the Childs Play movie with the possessed doll called Chucky and it freaked me out. It seems absurd in retrospect because it's just a doll, but there was something about it that got under my skin. What's the scariest movie you've ever seen?

         I loved IT. It was really scary, and the end of a bit of an anticlimax, but there's something about it that stayed with me. Lots of Stephens Kings movies aren't all that great, but the odd one (and some of his mini series) are brilliant!

      As a kid, Friday the 13th (any). Now, as an adult, I would have to say anything directed by Rob Zombie (House of a 1000 Corpses,The Devils Rejects, ect). Crazy smart guy making movies that are artisticly dark..... or insanely dark.... or desensitizing dark? Im just saying.... these are some damn dark movies if you haven't seen them haha. Enjoy

      I do not genuinely get scared at movies but I would have to say the remake of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre was well done.  It has actor R. Lee Ermy and Jessica Biel (who I absolutely adore) in it.  It does a great job providing back story of a group of hippie teenagers that are naive.   I also like it because it is not so fictious that it so unbelievable.  Although not based on a true story, it is believable that something like this could have happened in the late 70's. 
      
      Some Horror movies now days are super imposed and so unrealistic that they are not believable.  When they are not believable to me, I loose all interest.  I also do not find them scary, just a blood spattered movie with a horrible plot and bad acting.

      If you ever get the chance to watch the French horror movie Calvaire (English title: The Ordeal), 2004, do it. It's a lot more unsettling to me as an adult than the slasher films I loved as a youth.

      When I was a kid, I saw the original Nosferatu on late-night TV and had nightmares for months. As an adult, horror movies don't really scare me; reality scares me. "Jesus Camp" was probably the scariest thing I've seen in a long time. All those kids becoming mindless drones is far scarier than any monster.
      
      I will say, though, that the Blair Witch Project, Paranormal Activity (the first one) and The Woman in Black gave me some good chills. "Scared" though? Nah.

   I remember going to see The Blair Witch Project at the theater on the first week it opened.  Everyone still thought it was real and the theater smelled like vomit. I think it was sensory overload and the shaky cam that scared me senseless after watching it.  I had the same reaction to the original Paranormal Activity.

   I saw it for the first time when I was 9, pet cemetary when I was like 10. I saw horror at a young age and it played with my imagination. The scariest thing I saw as a kid though was arachniphobia* spelling. Messed me up almost as bad as What ever happened to baby Jane.
   
   As a teenager Blair Witch bend me so out of shape I didn't sleep for two days and on the tail end of the second night of no sleep the power went out because a drunk hit a pole. I freaked out.
   
   Now that I am turning thirty here shortly there has been nothing since the Blair Witch that did anything for me. Paranormal Activity was a joke as far as I am concerned. The most recent thing that messed with my head was The Happening. The thought that plants could put out a pharamone like that creeps me the frig out!! Can't anticipate that and no defense against the blowing of the wind man, none! lol Messed me up.

   The Entity, not least because it was based on a true story of a poltergeist haunting where the poltergeist kept on raping the woman and her Husband could see the hand prints appearing on her breasts as the poltergeist pressed on them. It got so much weirder though, and was addictive viewing (I recall it even messed with her car brakes when she was driving). Not sure how much artistic license was used, but it was really scary.

    Funny, I can't remember the last time I watched a movie, of any type. One of my favourites, however, is "The Cruel Sea," documenting the struggles of the Royal Navy during the course of the early days of World War II. That was and remains both scary and fascinating for me as (according to my late grandfather - twenty-six years a Royal Marine Commando) it was the closest made to depicting what life was really like during those dark and horrific days for the men who served aboard the ships. The movie was made in 1953 and is in black and white but it is its ring of truth and its hard hitting subject that makes it scary...

    The Exorcist!  What scared me about it was not the idea of possession since I don't even believe in that.  What scared me was the part of the movie where Regan is being tested in the hospital for some possible physical or psychosimatic origin for her condition.  Just the thought that a person's mind, on a subconscious level, could have that much power over their physical body horrified me.

    When I was in college back in the 70s "The Exorcist" was the scariest movie I have ever seen of all the horror movies I have seen up to that point. The theater was cold and that made the movie seem even more scary. Horror movies don't really scare me because movies are just  entertainment to me. It was a good movie and I enjoyed it. I personally do not believe in demonic possession no more than I believe in Satan.
