Remember it well loved it and got shit roght up by it, remember in papers Fella actually hung himself through fear over that programme, which is why it was never shown again.Charltonparklane said:McBobbin said:Ghostwatch. It was a fake documentary on Halloween on bbc1 with Craig Charles and Michael Parkinson. They were in a house which allegedly had a poltergeist, like that most haunted show. All fake but I thought it was real. Sleep with the lights on for about a week after that
I watched itagain last year and it is honestly laughable.
Crap, crap crap.
I bought the DVD and couldn't believe how scared I was (I was 12 though), the acting was appalling! The shining has to be the scariest film ever. I remember watching it alone one evening, and during the red rum scene my brother knocked on the front door. I actually screamed0 -
Used to like them but not anymore.0

Think decent clever horror films have just been replaced with blood and gore. Not been a decent horror for ages.0

Insidious was a good chiller/jumpy horror that I saw recently.
John Carpenters The Thing (not the crappy remake) has to be one of my favourite horrors. The animatronics and special effects in it still pee over most cgi rubbish you see these days and it's 30 years old.0 -

I remember watching it & scared me shitless too !! I missed the first 10/15 mins and thought it was real and wasn;t until the programme finished & I read the TV listings in the paper that I realised it was a hoax...........it really got me fooled.
Film wise.................The original Nighmare on Elm street must be up there, as well as the last Paranormal Activity. I've been told Insidous is pretty good as well as the latest release out (can't remember the title)

This. Brilliant film. Great acting, great atmosphere, great (for their time) effects, great soundtrack. Kurt Russell is brilliant in that film.

[rec] which got remade as Quarantine scared the bejeesus out of me, and also the orphange, whilst not as scary, was actually a really decent film.0

the first saw had awful acting but it was scary. the clown on the squeeky tricycle is just wrong.
all horrors with ghosts and monsters dont scare me at all. its the 'murder psycho thriller' type films that get me.
the first time i watched usual suspects it made me go cold when the man on the boat is screaming ''Kaizer Soze''. Its a different kind of scared.0 -
Used to like the old b&w ones Lon Chaney Jnr as the Wolf Man, Bela Lugosi as Dracula, Boris Karloff as Frankenstein's monster. Not scary in the slightest, but then neither are most modern horrors. Torture porn like Saw just leaves me bored rigid whilst the handmade shakeys like Blair Witch are nothing but a bunch of kids screaming. I do like David Cronenberg films, but that's more to do with the sheer inventiveness of them rather than because they are scary.
Agree entirely with ValleyGary - murder psycho thrillers are the ones. There's always that feeling that they could be real and that someone somewhere could do that (whatever that is).

Watch funny games then mate.0 -
I think my favourite horror/slasher is Dog Soldiers.
Got some great comedy in it as well.0 -
Drag me to hell makes you jump without blood and gore, only spoilt by the dancing goat.0

I remember catching Psycho on telly not long ago. I thought it's old, it's overrated, everyone knows whats-her-name gets stabbed in the showers, but could be a laugh. Afterwards, well let's just say I know why Hitchcock is seen as such a legend! He also did The Birds which scared the crap out of me but I was about seven when I watched that and haven't dared since.0

The Ring and The Hills have Eyes are pretty spooky films. I watched The Woman in Black last month and thought that would have given me some sleepness nights if were a teenager again. Has an age rating of 12 surprisingly. Also, Carrie (the first one) scared the hell out me when I was young, especially the hand out the grave scene.0

Whilst not technically horror, most of David Lynch's films send the hairs on the back of my neck up. Mulholland Drive and Inland Empire just have an air of growing uneasiness about them that build and build.
Guillermo del Toro's The Orphanage and The Devils Backbone are both great modern day ghost stories. Not overly scary but brilliantly shot and told.0 -
Great film. Perkins is brilliant; creepy but in an understated sort of way.thenewbie said:I remember catching Psycho on telly not long ago.

I also like the 1998 remake (although I know a lot of people don't). For me it's one of the few worthwhile remakes of a classic film.0 -

how about the TV version of "The Woman in Black"? Anyone remember seeing that back in the eighties? Scared the living daylights out of me.0

no, but I've seen the stage play. At one point I jumped three inches in the air but only came down two.church-lane said:how about the TV version of "The Woman in Black"? Anyone remember seeing that back in the eighties? Scared the living daylights out of me.

TV version was scarier still, as i recall. I tried to watch it on my own, but couldn't. Had to turn over. I might see if it is available on DVD, and see whether it still has the same effect.0

The clay men in the old b&w flash gordon used to frighten me as a kid.0

For the life of me I cannot remember or never knew then name of the film but I watched something on after match of the day about ten in years ago with a little boy having an imaginary friend in the wardrobe. Scared the living shit out of me at some points but turned crap.
I was made to watch the original nightmare on elm street at about 7 years old by a babysitter and I think I actually did a shit in my pants that scared me so much0 -
Have never seen a single horror / scary movie in my life, but then again i have nightmares after watching Poirot.
What pleasure anyone gets out of scaring themselves sh'tless, i have never understood.0 -

For me it's got to be the originals of Halloween, Friday the 13th and Texas chain saw massacre.
Leatherface still scares the crap out of me
