'The sow is MINE! She is MINE!'...OMG what a creepy movie...I saw the edited version.. even that was sick!!

How about this one...Faces of Death!

Someone in the halfway house I was living in at the time got hold of it somehow...the staff actually let us watch it!

I can't believe mental-health counselors would allow that!

the execution scenes were really freaky..especially the man being disposed of via the electric chair. Now I know why the eyes of people executed via Old Sparky are taped over....

the movie had a beheading as well...

Event Horizon from 1997 is pretty creepy. It's about an unmanned space ship that disappears through a black hole, and then returns ten years later. A crew boards the ship to see what happened to it, and finds that it's haunted.

It's a creepy film.

Looking at the "Exorcist" images, i remember somewhat a rumor about a projector malfunction in a DC theater that resulted in a frame to freeze of Ragan/Satan during the head-turning scene, causing mass hysteria (and even one death) among the moviegoers. If this is true, then this film goes to the top among the creepiest films. A word of caution: the first 15 minutes, where Father Merrin participates in a archeological dig in the Middle East has got to be the most boring scenes in a horror film ever. ::)

You see me a Exorcist, I'll raise ya a Omen.... the ending still creeps me out.  ::)  ;D

Most tarantulas' venom is non-lethal to humans,the notable exception being the funnelweb spiders from Australia.




Funnelweb spiders aren't tarantulas.

TonyStew,
thanks for the horrifying pics!  Those are great!
:o

Howard,
If you haven't seen "Amityville Horror," don't bother, it's "real bad"!
::)

As I said earlier, the DeFeo (sp?) kid did kill his family in that house in the early '70s, but the supernatural events were 100% bogus.  Not one of them was true.  It was all fabrication.

As fiction, the movie doesn't work either.  It won't scare you if you are over the age fourteen.

If you really wanna be creeped out....

check out In The Mouth of Madness

It was Child's Play 3 that is banned in the UK, because of the infamous "Jamie Bulger" murder case, when a couple of kids bashed a kid to death, apparently they were inspired by the film.

Alice Sweet Alice, Brooke Shields debut film, and she doesn't even survive the first reel. I was ready to recover from my nervous breakdown, and this film was showing late nights on Channel 4. That whole family was creepy, not just Alice. Considering (like the Exorcist) the Catholic theme and the horrifying Latin soundtrack, insomnia inducing.

Poltergeist is way up there too...

It creeped me out, the original that is.  I heard the remake was trash.  I guess you have to be in the mood to be creeped out.

The Amityville Horror isn't creepy... want creepy?  Try The Shining!

To me Amityville was worse than The Shining.  I loved the Shining.  Stephen King is a favorite of mine.

They are related to tarantulas.

"Darling. Light, of my life. I'm not gonna hurt ya. You didn't let me finish my sentence. I said, I'm not gonna hurt ya. I'm just gonna bash your brains in. I'm gonna bash 'em right the **** in. Ha, ha. "

The scene creeps me out....  ::)  ;D

The scene with the chopped up twins really got me. **shudder**

Those weren't staged....they are real.  There are also multiple (I think 9) different parts to the "series".  Don't remember which "part" it was in, but I remember a monkey being put in the middle of a table (stockade style) and his head being bashed in by people sitting around it with hammers and them eating the brains.  It's some pretty sick shiit...


A lot of the "scenes" from Faces of Death are only reconstructions of actual events. From snopes.com: "the Faces Of Death series, a sequence of six videos made up of footage of accidents, suicides, autopsies, and executions, liberally peppered with outright fake scenes. Most of the actual death scenes shown in these films are of the post-death variety. The multiple camera angles give away the acted-out nature of many of the most compelling scenes."

The Amityville Horror isn't creepy... want creepy?  Try The Shining!

One of my all-time favorites.  "The Shining" is one of those rare horror movies that gets scarier every time you watch it.  At least, that's what I've found. 
Incidentally, the East Side Digital label has released Wendy Carlos's incidental music for "The Shining" on a couple of different CDs.  Disc One includes the music behind the single eeriest incident, Jack's encounter with the lady in the bath.  It's entitled "Heartbeats and Worry" on the CD.

Definitely does. I'm not sure why, but I think one thing that makes the Shining scary is that it veers back and forth so much, so you never know what to expect from Nicholson. One minute you think he's a nice guy who just has a bit of a temper, in the next minute he's pure evil.

The rural location of the motel also added to its scariness IMO.

SPOILERS:

I could swear there's two different endings to this - the "sadder" one is usually shown on TV though it seems - where Jack burns down the hotel with himself in it in order to rid it of the "evil". They later flash in on Danny grown up and about to graduate high school - his dad is there in spirit to congradulate him. That was a nice ending to an otherwise depressing movie.

However, I'm sure I once saw another slightly different ending where Dick succesfully manages to get Danny and his mom out safely. I forget what happens after that.

Are we still talking about The Shining? Because I don't remember either of those endings.

I know it was not staged. but it was gross-out nonetheless. I wonder what sickos ever concieved the series...or decided to release it!

Why the h*LL it was ever released I will never fathom..pure gross- out disgusting.As was the fact that 'happy' music was played for some of the scenes!

I guess FearDotCom was unsettling.. I mean, as unsettling as a horror movie can really be to me.. I just don't get un-nerved anymore.. maybe I've built up a tolerance to grisly images and sado-masochism... I know some people who still have to look away and flinch and sometimes, even having done all that, STILL cry.

That was the remake.  It follows the book more closely than the original.  It was made for TV a couple of years ago.  The hotel blew up because of the boiler not being properly taken care of.  If I remember right, Stephen King wrote the screenplay for the remake.  He wasn't happy with the artistic license taken in the original.  Steven Webber and Rebecca DeMornay played Jack and Wendy, if I remember right.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0118460/

Alien also freaked me out...so did Stephen King's ROSE RED(an ABC network miniseries)...

How about the movie FLATLINERS...the NDE(Near death experiences)that were depicted freaked me out!

I will avoid that TV version.  Sounds like BS even if SK wrote it.
There was an ending sequence cut from the original in which Wendy is recovering in the hospital, and Danny is out in the waiting room bouncing a ball...the SAME ball that rolls out at him from Room 237.  A nurse walks by who appears to be the same woman as the dead old lady in the bath!
:o
I'm glad they decided to cut that part, it sounds like it would detract from the overall impact.

Remember... friends don't let friends watch really bad TV movies....  ::)

And yet it was bad...

I never watched them.  They were trendy when I was in high school.  No surprise they were faked.  It wasn't so easy back then to get grisly footage.

The internet is now rife with videos of people getting killed.  A lot of them are indeed real.  I watched a bunch of them out of curiosity.  They didn't disturb me as much as I thought they would.  The fact is our day to day lives are a membrane of pleasantness surrounded by death, savagery, and so horrible we don't even want to think of them...but they're out there.  Who knows what kind of carnage may be happening only a few miles from where you sit!  Muahahahaha!  Seriously, though, I didn't find videos of shop clerks getting gunned down or hostages behing decapitated pleasant, but I could deal with the reality that such horror goes on all the time, we just don't witness it.  But the fact that we don't witness it doesn't make it any less real.  See?

I've never seen snuff films of the sexual variety, but my morbid curiosity diid lead me to unmentionable sexual barbarism I've witnessed on the 'net.
:o
The one series of pics I was hoping was fake was a couple naked and frolicking in the basement of a run-down house as they dismembered the body of a man and did unspeakable things with his severed bits.
A little researched turned up the chilling fact that these photos were evidence from a real crime.  It happened in Detroit in 1982.  A druggie biker chick and another druggie biker dude killed the chick's boyfriend for revenge.  They then spent a few days going crazy on PCP and amphetamines as they pursued an orgy of sex and carnage worthy of Caligula!  Being the smart criminals they were, they took pictures.  I don't know who got their hands on the pics to post them on the 'net, though.
They got caught and put in jail.  That was over 20 years ago and they're out of prison now!
:o :o

Max, that snippet from snopes.com that I quoted there is, ironically, from their article about snuff films. In it, they conclude that "snuff" films -- where someone is murdered on film for the sexual gratification of the viewer -- are still only the stuff of legend and edgy Nicolas Cage films.

Ah ok. Well that would explain it. I can understand King being upset with Kubrick's version, especially the part where he never bothers to explain exactly what "The Shining" is, but come on. It was Kubrick, the master of auteur. Plus, it was better than any version King himself could have made.

You must be speaking about 8MM, which starred Cage and James Gandolfini. That kinds creeped me out, too. I'll never forget the expression on the old woman's face when she finds out about the girl being murdered on tape. :\'(

I saw one of the first public screening of Carrie in the cinema when it first opened, I know it was Stephen King, but knew nothing of the content of the film other than Brian de Palma (the director) shot it in the style a-la Hitchcock.

Both left me with a weird feeling....... :o

You never know which Tony Stewart will appear: the mean scowling hot-head of old or the new Tony Stewart. Just give it time when he's losing again and he'll show his true colors. 8)

I still like Tony Stewart. There were a few other aggressive, un-PC drivers in NASCAR...Cale Yarbourough...the Allisons...even Crusty Rusty has been in a few scrapes. But all some people seem to remember is Tony Stewart...and Kurt Busch...both who have mellowed out somewhat.

Flatliners...my roommate is watching it right now.

But the possibliity of NDE's aka near death experiences is fascinating...

Since we're talking about creepy movies, has anyone seen "Silent Hill" the movie? Is it just another bad translation of a video game, or did it do somewhat well? For a time it was the #1 movie in the US but then suddenly disappeared.

WINTER SOLDIER

This bad boy was banned by the U.S. government for over thirty years. It did win a Cannes film festival award in 1972, but the U.S. government did not and still does not want you to see it.

John Kerry is in it briefly, and of course, certain powerful people whipped up a conspiracy theory about the commies being behind the whole thing, but I would leave that for a Politics board thread.

The film is a documentary made in 1971 of Vietnam veterans testifying about war atrocities. There are a few horrifying still photos from the war to illustrate some vets' accounts of what they experienced, however, most of the film is just a stark black-and-white documentary of vets telling their side of the story.

Forget about "Saving Private Ryan," "Platoon," "Full Metal Jacket," or any of that Hollywood drama. "Winter Soldier" conveys the horror of war much better, and uses only words!

The Believers, Bad Arnold, Carrie, Dark Night of the Scarecrow...

i just saw "poseidon" and for an action flick that's got some disturbing stuff in it. watery grave? NO THANK YOU!

The Believers is realllllly creepy film, and so is Angel Heart.

Rosemary's Baby

(caution: spoiler)

What makes this one reeeeaaallly creepy is not the occult plot, but the core theme throughout the film: betrayal. It is one of the most horrible experiences to be betrayed by people you love and people you trust.

That friendly couple of old eccentrics next door? They lead a coven of satanic witches. Your loving husband sells your child to the witches at the moment of its conception so they may bring forth the anti-christ. And for what? He does it to further his acting career! Dr. Sapirstein, the eminent obstetrician and such a nice man, he's a witch too! It's just one betrayal of Rosemary after another. Even Dr. Hill, the other obstetrician, inadvertantly betrays Rosemary because her story sounds to whacky to believe. She claims Hill's eminent colleague, Abraham Sapirstein is a witch! Just when Rosemary thinks she is out of danger, and reclining in Dr. Hill's examining room, it turns out Dr. Hill has phoned Dr. Sapirstein, and was like, "what's going on with this lady?" Saperstein, of course,  runs a line on Hill that Rosemary is nutso. Next scene you see her husband, the witch neighbors, and Sapirstein (carrying a syringe full of sedative) stroll right through the curtain...
To me, that was always the creepiest moment in the film!
