Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Scariest Movie of All Time

lol,...nah,..

lol remember seeing that.

the deer hunter has more to do with what's in your mind when you have to survive.

My wedding video. Still sends chills down my spine.

It was about a major extinction event, like the Permian-Triassic extinction event (massive and widespread volcanic activity) that killed off most species of plant and animal life on earth. It centered on how one particular family (mostly just father and son) coped with survival in those circumstances.

Yep, I remember that well. Super scary.

Never thought of “Omega Man” or “Soylent Green” as horror movies. I do own “The Shining” and “Psycho” though. I do like the classics.
We’ve got a pretty good collection of DVDs, mostly Western and a few of the better WW2 films.
But, as I said, horror movies were never on my radar. Carol had nightmares from the witch in “Wizard of Ozz”, and Penny’s a nurse. She see’s enough death and doesn’t like it in movies.

The Fog......

an early 90s movie "Jacobs Ladder" made me jump a couple of times when I watched it the first time. Have it on blue ray here some where.

Wolfen scared me back in the day. the other one I remember was "The 6th Sense". so damned slow, and soft spoken, and understated. ended up scaring the crap out of me.

After I saw The Omen I slept with the lights on and I was 21 years old.

You sayn it's the devells work.. That he climbs
like a man possessed?



Just the image of the priest silhouetted outside the
home at night in the light/ fog with that music is iconic
and have lasting impact, and enough to give some
a reminder/the creeps without even watching the
movie again.

Originally they were going to cast big name actors like
Brando, Nicholson and Hepburn, but decided on some
unknowns so the movie could prove itself on Its own
merits.

If one watches the behind the scenes making
of the movie...like where they are applying the
spec. effects to Linda Blair it takes the edge
off the movie somewhat.

Salem's Lot.

Some good entertaining movies on the list but none are scary. I guess you have to believe in that nonsense to be scared by it.

Not a fan of this genre but for me, Psycho, specifically the shower scene. Hitchcock set the scene and provided all the components for the viewer to construct his own most terrifying scene.

What scared me most was Invaders from Mars, 1953. A bad indie film. I was probably 7 and watched it on TV with the older kids. Young David was awakened by a thunderstorm just in time to see a UFO land in a nearby field. Every adult that investigates is taken over by an alien (of course). Finally David is being chased down a tunnel screaming his head off when his parents wake him from the nightmare. Reassured he settles down and goes to sleep just in time (you guessed it) to be awakened by a thunderstorm... Is it live or is it Memorex? That little twist got me thinking.

The Howling .

This movie would scare hell out of you if you were seven years old. Gave me nightmares for years.

Oh yeah. How could I have forgotten Poltergeist. When I first saw that, it was real spooky.
