2. Well, my local PBS station is showing "In Cold Blood"

Not horror, but pretty scary

Not scary, gory at time, but good.

7. I originally saw THEM at the drive-in

with my parents. It scared the poop out of elementary school me, but I loved it!

I learned that ants secrete formic acid from that movie!

10. Might try to find "The Others"

[mr_lebowski]

12. The Other from the early 70's was also great ... based on a novel by Thomas Tryon

That was actually one of the first 'horror' movies I ever saw, I was like 8.

Not really horror, but definitely creepy AF.

11. The only time I've ever been scared by a movie ...

I got really stoned and watched The Ring all by myself for the first time.

I was afraid of the TV for like 2 weeks after that

Tonight I'll be playing a VR game that's actually freaking scary (in certain sections) called Half Life - Alyx. I'm almost done, I'm expecting it to get pretty intense.

Scariest game I ever played was S.T.A.L.K.E.R. - Shadow of Chernobyl. It has these underground labs full of freaky shit ... and when I played that I was alone, playing in the basement of my folks house in the mountains. At one point I was just like ... NOPE. I shut it off and waited til the next morning so it was daylight out. I was 40 yo at the time lol ...

1963 "The Haunting" frightened me more than anything else I've seen.

[ailsagirl]

19. That was a good one!

[Harker]

25. ...

[ailsagirl]

26. The film was eerie-- no blood, no axes-- just sheer, unadulterated terror

Thanks for the scene-- now that's a scary movie!

[Harker]

27. Sure thing.

Sometimes, it's what goes unseen that is scary.

[ailsagirl]

18. We're living one...

[mysteryowl]

29. For the Win!

[ailsagirl]

22. Black Christmas (1974)

It was absolutely terrifying



The origins of the "slasher flick" can be traced back to Italy, but it was this Canadian import that helped the sub-genre find its footing in North America. Four years before Michael Myers began his Halloween night rampage, this holiday-themed tale of a stalker roaming a sorority house struck a solid chord with the midnight movie crowd—and it still holds up surprisingly well today.
