Aldaris, if that scares you then you better not watch any Norris flicks...also I remember a movie from the seventies or eighties in which Norris fights a pshyco who heals instantly...That movie was scary!...

Well, if anyone remembers Chitty Chitty Bang Bang with **** Van Dyke, the entire premise of the movie is kids are being kidnapped and kept beneath the castle.

In one scene, children are lured out of the basement of a toymaker's (Benny Hill) shop into an horse drawn ice cream truck, the sides of the truck fall away and it is actually a mobile prison, GREAT kid's entertainment; you would arrested for showing kids this movie today....

Looking at the topic and reading the replies I wonder why so many people mention movies that are not scary, but just gross instead. Let me illustrate my point. A movie like Alien is scary because of the tension and suspense, but not because of the gross-out factor of special effects. When you actually see the various critters, face hugger, chest burster, Queen, it amounts to effectively a release of tension and suspense which yields to horror, disgust and repulsion.

That which we can see, we can deal with! That what can't be seen, the untangible, can be extremely scary!

Most recent "scary" movies are horror movies. They show for the most part an utter lack of suspense, they are predictable and bore me to tears. There is a demographic that loves the gross-out effects in this kind of movie, but it just isn't my kind of entertainment.

Shall we stick with American movies?

Alien (I like the sequel 'Aliens' actually better, because it offers much more action and because it's easier on the nerves)
The Thing (1982 remake with K. Russel)
Altered States
The Brood
The Omen
Seven
Jaws
The Silence of the Lambs
The Innocents
Sisters
Lost Highway
The Night of the Hunter
Psycho

For some reason I find Rosemary's Baby unwatchable and boring.

All the 'Poltergeist' films, especially the first one, STILL scare the heck out of me, especially if watched in the dark...
 
Aliens 1 and 2.. phenom movie. i still dont like watching it today and i am almost 30 lol.. boy that was some scary sheit when i was a youngster.
 
I'm not much into actual horror flicks. They don't scare me unless they are realistic. Thrillers scare me more than horror movies. With that being said, here's a few I can remember:

Breakdown '97
Vacancy '07
The Vanishing '93
Wrong Turn '03
 
When I was about 10, Friday the 13th VI scared the s*** out of me. I wouldn't go anywhere without my brother nearby. Now I laugh at it, because it was the first in the series to become comical.

Event Horizon was the only movie that I could not watch with my door shut when I was 16, at least the first time I saw it. After that I could watch it anytime, anywhere, any setting.

The Dawn of the Dead and Halloween remakes were intense and would make me look over my shoulder whenever I entered a room.

Alien wasn't scary, but then again I never saw it until November 2003, when it was re-released in theaters.
 
The thing about the Aliens movie that scared me the most was...all that firepower and still at the mercy of the beast!...also the fact that humans would have to hibernate to travel in space...when you get back...if you ever do...everything you knew would be gone...
 
I watched Alien a couple nights ago after reading this thread and I thought it was terrible. I fast-forwarded the last 45 minutes just to see how it ended. I don't think I had ever seen it before, but I do remember watching Aliens and liking that as a kid, so that's up next.

A few of my friends already know this... but the first time I saw Alien, I wasn't able to sit through the whole thing. I tried to go back into the theatre after a five-minute break, but I couldn't do it. I ended up watching some romantic comedy that was showing on one of the other screens.

I was much younger then, of course, and might have been in an altered state.
