With Halloween on its way, I'm hoping to solicit ideas for scary movies. It has been a long time since I've experienced a truly frightening film...the last one that scared me in any significant way was probably
Open Water and that should give you an idea of the type of horror I like. I tend to respond more to the psychological horrors in the vein of
The Shining,
The Vanishing,
The Tenant and also the "real-life" horror scenarios like the aforementioned
Open Water. Admittedly, I haven't seen the latest crop of violent slasher-type films (the
Saw series, the new
Texas Chainsaw films) nor the re-makes of the likely far superior Japanese horror films (e.g.
The Grudge and
Ring series) But at this point, I'll give anything a shot. So please speak up. What was the last film that scared the hell out of you? I'm talking nightmare-inducing, sleep-with-the-lights-on scary. And clowns! I am scared shitless of clowns!!

the first Saw is pretty scary -- not like jump out of your seat scary, more creepy scary
this movie is quite old, but when i saw it, it scared the shit out of me b/c i believe aliens. "fire in the sky" is based on a true story and it's one of those movies where the more you let your mind wonder the scarier it is.
If you hate clowns, like myself, you should definately see Stephen King's "IT". That movie has forever made me scared to death of clowns. I can't even look at the cover of the movie anymore.
