Can you beat this pleb's top ten list?
1. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974 version, not the shitty 2004 remake)
2. Ringu ('98 Japanese film, not that shitty 'Murican remake)
3. Alien
4. The Exorcist
5. The Changeling
6. Halloween/The Thing '82 (a tie with same director; no shitty remakes)
7. The Shining
8. The Mummy (1932)
9. Poltergeist '82/Jaws (a tie, directed by Spielberg; the former rumored)
10. The Conjuring (best "scared shitless" horror movie in many blue moons)
>>64336648
The Ring is better than Ringu
The Changeling is good but not scary
The Mummy really is nothing special
Poltergeist isn't scary or especially great
The Conjuring was good, but not top 10 material
The only foreign film you list is Ringu, try some French/Spanish/Korean/more Japanese horror.
>>64337994
>The Mummy really is nothing special
:(
>>64337994
OP here, let me clarify:
>The Ring is better than Ringu
Could be, but it's all color timed to obnoxious effect, pluscar action during the girl popping out of tv set in cross cut broke the tension and dread isolationseen in the Japanese version.
>The Changeling is good but not scary
Not evenbouncing ball on the stair, roving old wheelchair and the ending with the creepy music box playing itself?
>The Mummy really is nothing special
Not even creepy atmosphere mood could be effective for you, lol
>Poltergeist isn't scary or especially great
Not evenkiller clown dollcould make you hate these creepyclown dolls
>The Conjuring was good, but not top 10 material
But, it's one of the scariest movies yet released. It's so scary MPAA gave it an R rating for terror alone, lol
Those who find the above listed movies not so scary must be jaded.
Pic related, the creepy ol' wheelchair...
>>64336648
I guess some scientist did some research and the conclusion was the shining was the scariest movie ever made.

the only movie i ever found scary was child's play as a kid
>>64336648
> Spielberg directed the Poltergeist.
this meme needs to stop.
it was directed by Tobe Hooper. and considering he directed the Texas Chainsaw Massacre too you really should fucking know this, OP.
>>64336648
not that scary. Blair Witch Project is scarier than all of these
>>64339201
Here's the answer whether Tobe really directed the movie.

Back to reddit, cuck
>>64339162
I suspect there are many more people who will say Texas Chainsaw Massacre, more so than The Exorcist, is the scariest movie they've ever seen, in terms of primal fear referring to "fear of the unknown" coined by HP Lovecraft.
The term means no plot explanation for why or what the villains are doing in exposition.
Current generation (from Millennial to now) will say The Conjuring the scariest movie they ever saw to date.
They find old horror movies quaint and not so scary because they've been spoiled.

No, there are not.

Does this vintage video settle the question that the average plebs vote The Exorcist the scariest ever?

>The Texas Chainsaw Massacre
Do old people really think this movie was scary? I watched it and it seemed funny to me, cheaply made and hard to take seriously
>>64336648
>2. Ringu ('98 Japanese film, not that shitty 'Murican remake)
>kids with white make-up

No, sorry, you can't just come up with your teenage hipster faggot taste and call the remake "shitty". You are shitty. You and your retarded, "do I fit in yet" faggot taste.
It would have been perfect if you'd also have said Rosemary's Baby.
>>64339224
Well, you're actually right. But you must have fantasy and emotional intelligence to experience Blair Witch the way it's meant to be experienced. And OP is clearly a 20 year old hipster watching black and white moviest o feel mature. That he listed The Mummy really says everything.

I'm 37 yo oldfag.
Ever seen Freaks? Ending should scare you with disgust, no wonder it got banned even in some states during Hays code period.
It got the director blacklisted for making a movie more horrifying than any film made at that point in time.
>>64339815
Yeah, but I also found The Tenant terrible-bad.

>>64339709
Film stock quality in porno-esque cinematography helps amplify the impression it's sort of a snuff movie, which makes it doubly sleazy and horrific.
>>64340044
It leads to the perfectly twisted conclusion.https://youtu.be/sALWUsvL4X4?t=1m20s
>>64339703
So we are in agreement then? More people rate the Exorcist than TCM? Cool.
>>64340105
I almost pissed my pants from laughing.
Idk, maybe I'm just too much of an edgy fedora.
>>64340173
The scenes that involve what the freaks did to the villains got cut and were lost.
I never saw this movie until in my adulthood and seeing the ending horrified me viscerally. Hence horror.
>Stay edgy, fedora pleb
>>64336648
1. Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2004 (Jessica Biel was better than anything in the shitty original
2. The Ring
3. Aliens
4. The Exorcist III
5. The Fly
6. Halloween H20
7. The Storm of the Century
8. The Mummy (1999)

No love for Italians? Lucio Fulci's the man.
>>64336648
>2. Ringu ('98 Japanese film, not that shitty 'Murican remake)
I never understood this. The american version is so much better. Is it just a way to prove to be a "real filmbuff" to claim to like the japanese one better?
>tfw shimizu's raimi-produced grudge remake was better than his original version
AmeRingu was a remake of a remake. There was a Ringu movie before that. A tv movie. It was alright. I'm just saying that in case you didn't see it and might want to.
The list you rpovided isn't that pleb, it's just not the SCARIEST horror movies. It's the BEST horror movies. Except for The Conjuting. That was a movie so average that it might be able to get the rights to the Average label. Fuck that movie in it's mundane, average, normal, predictable ass.
>>64336648
American ring was better
>>64340653
If you're talking grisly Italian movies, the only way to find these movies are through black market bootleg including torrenting or renting at the remaining few indie video stores anywhere.
The most disgusting "horror" movie ever made is A Serbian Film. Second is Necromancer.
Still have never seen Human Centipede films, even though its available on Netflix stream since forever. Said to be too disgusting in content and wretched in quality.
I'm talking scary horrors, not disgusting in terms of "moar" gore.
>>64340681
It must be it. Besides, The Grudge was better. Scarier and less all over the place. Turning The Ring into a ghost story made it feel disjointed. I'm still waiting for a closer adaptation of the books. Something more sci-fi medical horror, less supernatural ghostlyhorror.
>>64340865
Wow. Just... wow.
How new to movies are you? Torrenting or renting? They're on fucking jewtube! They air on tv all the time! Grisly for the 70s/80s is nothing now.
>>64340681
Japanese Ring is understated with slow burn and atmosphere without Hollywood bullshit like color filter for the look.
Hollywood always fuck up the original foreign films just because they can, and it's all about pandering to the pleb commoners for the shekels.
>>64340928
It requires expending my effort to locate the fairly obscure foreign horror movies.
I've seen Cannibal Holocaust and Ferox, and they disgust me more than scare me.
>>64340941
The only good foreign asian horror remake was The Grudge (the first one), and that's because it was made by the Japanese director, in Japan, but with an american lead. In fact, the isolation and foreign factor of the american lead made the movie better (at least for me) than the original 2 versions.
>>64340979
CH and CF aren't obscure. At all. CH was on tv just 2 months ago ffs.
>>64341041
I don't even watch tv, for expanded or premium cable programming. I stream, torrent and rent shit.
1. Silent Hill 2 (the video game, yeah - scared me more than any movie)
2. Hour of the Wolf (Bergman)
3. Inland Empire (Lynch)
4. Pulse/Kairo (Kurosawa)
5. The Shining (Kubrick)
6. Cure (Kurosawa)
7. Don't Look Now (Roeg)
8. The Vanishing/Spoorloos (Sluizer)
9. The Curse/Noroi (Shiraishi)
10. Martyrs (Laugier)
>>64341270
I hated Kairo, but I can see why people like it.
The Vanishing was chilling. I loved it, but it's not something I would rewatch. It's a must-see though.
Noroi was good. It was really captivating.
All in all, you have good taste, my man.
>>64341270
Ok, you got me beaten.
A side note, FucKonami cancelled Silent Hills, which is what you want that could supersede your favorite video game.
For me, Resident Evil 4 is a great game. Best game is the original Resident Evil in its primal pixeled rawness.
>>64341359
Incidentally, Kubrick said The Vanishing is the scariest movie he ever saw, because of the horrific implication of death at the ending.
Good job referencing the movie, I saw it when I was a kid and it scared the shit out of me, but it's more like a suspense thriller and less horror except the implicit ending.
>>64341359
I never knew Pulse was so polarizing until I posted about it a few times in horror threads, but I can see why some people dislike it. It's pretty meandering in the 3rd act. Gotta rewatch Spoorloos, it's been ages since I last saw it. Thanks!
>>64341408
I was pretty goddamn butthurt about it, but now I learned to cope with it. Fuck Konami though, for real. Oh and Resi 4 is so much fun.
>>64336648
Does "scariest horror movie" = best horror movie?
I think not.
>>64341488

>>64341556
Not necessarily, but it's all about experience on the first time viewing without knowing much beforehand (avoiding spoilers as much as possible, or forget biased nostalgic childhood memories).
It's what makes the difference, and all the better. Although I personally thought The Exorcist overrated, but good effort nonetheless.
>>64340865
>The most disgusting "horror" movie ever made is A Serbian Film
August underground is more disgusting imo
>>64340058
This.
That fucking thud when Leatherface hits the guy over the head and then the body spasm felt all too real. Modern horror always goes over the top when it comes to gore and stuff, that you don't really feel anything when it happens because it just doesn't seem real at all.
>>64341867
Low budget pooled by a group of colleagues plus actually inflicting pain upon Marilyn Burns with her real screams also amplify the realism to a horrifying effect resembling a lurid snuff film.
While many look at this movie as a laughably bad cheap piece of shit, to some it's efficiently frightening because of how well staged horror elements are combined with sleazy reel porno-styled 16mm Kodak Ekenchrome film stock, which made it feel a bit too realistic.
Also, the music and creepy and sudden sound effects.
>>64339937
It got banned because they thought it was offensive to cast actual deformed people tard
In no particular order, and scary to ME:
Candyman
Julia’s Eyes
Rabid
Friday the 13th (I didn't care too much about the sequels and reboot, but the original had a gritty, realistic 70s feel to it that made it scary)
Phenomena
Le Demon dans l'ile
Inferno
The Sentinel
Monkey Shines
Black Sunday
>>64342059
>The Sentinel
Nice.
In terms of unsettling, the murder tapes in Sinister still wins for me. The way they were made were brilliant. They had some kind of eerie realism to them, and the music used in them were perfect.
>>64342958
Derrickson is great at putting excellent scenes in not quite excellent movies.
The Exorcist
The Exorcist III: Legion
Dagon
The Haunting
The Grudge (American)
The Descent
Jaws (admit it, it's scary)
The Old Dark House
Mama (shit ending though)
Dark Water (Jap version)
>>64344284
The nip Dark Water has terrific sound design.
So then, what's the most unnerving or creepy horror movie?
>films
>scary
come on
>>64339815
That's The Grudge, not The Ring.
Mongoloid.
>>64336648
>Top 10 list
>12 movies
Ties in rankings mean you jump an extra ranking for the next place for every entry to a tie.
So:
5. The Changeling
6. Halloween/The Thing '82
8. The Shining
In no particular order -- and not 10:
-TCM
-Spoorloos
-Cure
-Le Femme Qui Se Poudre
>>64341867
Iirc, TCM was the first film to show convulsions from head-injury.
>>64336648
THIS.
>>64344901
>would you like to see a ghost?
wow so scary
>>64336648
My nigga, I'm 27 and only recently watched the original texas chainsaw massacre and I have to say its possibly the best horr film ever made, fucking love it.
The only recent horror film I have liked was Kill List.
>>64344967
The last scene where the coin falls, and roll's into that room, and dumb ass goes to get.
>That did not freak you out?
The Shining has always been my weakness
>>64345093
anticipating a jump scare =/= scary
>>64336648
Are you 70 years old? None of these movies are scary you retard. Watching The Grudge during the daytime with your friends is legitimately scarier than marathoning all of those movies on your own at night time in a log cabin deep in a forest.
That's some edgy level of nostlagia blindness.
>>64345191
>that intro/music as an 8 year old
wew
>>64345237
>jump scare

>>64345237
kurosawa almost never uses jump scares though
>>64345237
>WUT
No when that thing starts talking to him, and how you know that he knows he's fucked.
>Chills
Zodiac
Because it was real, those things happened and similar things happen every day. If that idea that it puts in your head doesn't scare you then you missed the point of the movie.
The Thing
>>64341821
you wouldn't say this if you'd actually seen one, most boring shit ever made
>>64345350
suspense isn't scary
>>64345465
I don't really enjoy horror as a genre enough to have loved 10, but here are five that I really liked.
1. Alien
2. REC
3. The Fly
4. The Thing
5. The Shining
