Scared Sh1tless???

gogo

Just wondering what people's biggets ever scare has been from, weather it was from a book, a film, an accident, Ghosts if you believe in em.
What scared you ****less.
I scare very easily, hence my love of horror. Love to be scared sh1tless, value for money when I am.
Trying to think what it was for me. I think it was when I was much younger it was reading Stephen King's Salem's Lot and It scared me stupid, normally read most of the night, and finished it about four in the morning and was afraid to go asleep. Might repeat here that I was about twelve or thirteen at the time.

Also The Blair Witch scared me stupid, Watched it at the height if the hype. Watched the credits twice to make sure it wasn't real. Again was awhile ago.
So do you scare easily and if so from what??

gogo
Might add that this is my hundred-th post. Yaa Hay.:D

The ring (Jap version). To a lesser extent the eye.

Stephen Kings "IT" left me with a generally uncomfortable feeling when around clowns the first time i saw it.

watched it again last year and was so disapointed with the ending...

other than that i dont scare easily, mainly due to years of desensitising.

Tim Curry was indeed brilliant in IT.

****ing terrified my as a child.

Scare no 1) Walking down a lane beside my house, through a big wood, full moon so I could see right to the other side of the lane. I heard a horse coming so I moved in a bit cos horses are half-mad at the best of times, the sound of the hooves went right past me, right NEXT to me, but I saw nothing.

Scare no 2) 28 Days Later. I've read Stephen King, Clive Barker...whoever..without batting an eyelid, but everyone who knows me knows that film freaked me out more than anything except for:

Scare no 3) got an email in work, which I just sent on to my home address to look at later, was apparently a still from a camera put in the bedroom of this girl who killed herself. Looked at it at about three in the morning, and subsequently had to sleep with the lights on....to this day.

Did'nt find this scary, but a mighty good film, If you liked that film have you read King's The Stand? or have a good book also called the plague, can't remember the author, but will find out later.

A couple of months ago I was asleep in my bed as normal, it must have been around 2am. Anyway for some reason I opened my eyes and looked down towards the bottom of my bed. I sat up.
There was a dark, shaded figure staring right at me, it's mouth was moving but there was no sound coming out - total silence. Then it seemed to slide to the right corner of my bed and come towards me. It was only then that I got a good look at the face and realised that it was my own face, it was me! I closed my eyes and shook my head and when I looked again it was gone.

The movie which made me squirm the most has to be ARACHNIPHOBIA, very enjoyable but so many jumps and moments of suspence. I wouldn't mind but I'm not even afraid of spiders!

I saw JAWS when I was very young, and can remember lying awake scared ****less, waiting for a large shark to crash through the wall.........

Wook

Body snatchers (original) was damn scary !
made me a paranoid nutter for a few days

I only found 28 Days Later scary becasue I've been dreaming that on average once a week for about 15 years now. The end of the film was a bit nancy, to be honest.

I've read the Stand, and again the end was nancy. I like good old 'plague, everybody dies, the end' stuff, not this nancy 'ahhhh but everything turns out okay really' stuff.

I've bought every book by Stephen King and find them a bit girly, they're not really scary, they're just stories. Clive Barker's pretty good though.

Please let me know who wrote that book though!!

I really hate things like that - and the sick ppl who start them - as they are real tyhey get to me like no movie/book could

my bigest one was more of a shock tbh, i opened an unknown mpg that som1 posted a link to "they had warned about howwible content but i hadnt seen it" it was that russian soldier one and i got a terrible shock

I read The Shinning, Salems Lot and Carrie all in a row once when I was eleven. Salems Lot really freaked me out. Any time something hit the window at night I kept thinking it was the vampire from the book. I think reading adult horror novels as a kid really ****ed me up.

i suffer a lot from nightmares and there is a recuring nightmare..it takes a lot to shock me

the last thing i was scared of was ring(jap)
watched it at home, alone, 3 in the morning

all lights went on in the house...put on meh head phones to fall asleep


candyman was the only other film i think that got me...


Its not horror but "Trinity & Beyond" has been the most harrowing documentry i have seen..(more so than the holocaust ones)

Brerrabbit

Apologies for the long post.

The bit in the church in 28 days later

Parts of IT (Not so much nowadays but when I was a kid.

After I first saw jaws I was terrified... even to go into a swimming pool!

The dark tunnel maze thing they used (Still do?) to have in the wax museum; my sister had convinced me a monster lived down there or something.

PARTS of "The Stand" and I should emphasise "parts" cause while its a good book it wasnt the scariest, thAT being said parts were really frightening

Some bits in "manhunter"

Candyman; had a bet with a mate to say "candyman" five times in front of a mirror when I was a kid... he won.

and on a serious note the fact that A: Bush was able to buy the U.S election so blatantly and B: now seems intent on plunging the world into a nuclear war (I'm not familiar with all the issues involved but this is about fear and fear doesnt have to be rational)

These are a bit more serious and I dont know if its in good taste to discuss them like this but seing as I've already typed them adn I'm lazy..

A motorcycle accident last year; I was walking to my local and a motorbike tried to catch an amber light, car pulled out in front, bike hit and bike rider and passenger came flying over the cars bonnet and sailed right past my face about two feet away (At that point things seemed to slow down -I know it sounds hokey but there you go- and I could see - and still can- every detail of the bike, the two people and the debris as it went by. Pissed it to a phonebox to call ambulance but I never found out what happened to the passenger (The rider was ok but the girl on the back was in pretty bad shape.

In the first week after we had moved into our new house when I was about 11 or so, a guy got stabbed in a lane about 200 metres up the road. He went from house to house looking for help but no one heard (Or maybe they didnt want to open up: I dont know). He got to our house, my Dad woke up, let him in and called an ambulance. My sister and I never woke up once during all this. The next morning you could see a trail of blood going from door to door up the road to the lane. I dont know how that guy survived hed lost so much blood but he was allright.

Towards the end of 6th year in school a couple of friends and I had skived off P.E to go play poker in the park (St. Annes park is right beside my old school). It was a monday morning about 9.00 am. there was a guy who had hung himself from one of the soccer goals crossbars.

Rabies

When i was young Stephen Kings IT scared me to death

A couple of years ago i saw event horizon. that too scared me

Treebeard

The last film that I can remember seeing that scared me was Stir of Echoes. The bit where they find the girl creeped me out even though I knew it was coming

When I thought of it the other day i read it again, It's called 'Plague' and it's by Richard Masterton and to be honest it's not that great. It has been a few years since I read it, but If you like the good old plague story, you'll probably like it and no happy ending guartenteed, So not in the slightest bit "nancy"

1.) 28 days later, couple of very disturbing scenes in it that are not related to zombie at all

2.) Deathwatch , W.W.1 looks so sh1ty but it's the fear of being alone that got me, nasty image at the end


3.) Dreamcatcher, Basically i h8 squirmy sh1t and that really freaked me out


If u notice most directors\producers of flicks are startin to prey on the basic human fears, isolation, fear of the unknown, darkness, creapy small animals and insects, anything that u can think or that some body might be afraid of, and it's workin because it's more believable.

In the younger years Stephen Kings "IT" scared the **** out of me like most!

A film called "The Entity" about a poltergeist (true story) put the **** cross ways in me....still does....if u want a scare, watch it...its true story u can google it....the woman was called carla moran i think that was hounded by said poltergeist.

I keep havin out of body experiences.....very weird, i dont normally talk about them but they freak me out a lot....picture waking up and being able to look all around the room....even at yourself sleeping.

barneys big adventure

Space Coyote

I used to read a lot of James Herbert books when I was about 14 or 15 years old, that's all I read. It used to freak me out sometimes with nightmares and paranoid delusions and stuff. Very fubar indeed.
I remember that photo of the girl that died, (think it's the one that was mentioned by Silverfish) she was standing in a corridor ... then you realise that she's floating...the caption said not to look at her eyes for too long but I did anyway, that sent shivers down my spine.

IT was probably the scariest movie ever...watch it on ur own for the first time wit the lites off

Makaveli

When I saw IT, I wasnt that old only 11 or 12 I'd say. It scared quite a bit then. I'd like to see it again now. It's probably quite tame, but I remember I was afriad to take a bath for a while in case the clown climbed out of the plug hole.
