That was great though!

The Shining
Poltergeist
The Thing
Blair Witch Project
Evil Dead 1

JAWS (I was about 6/7)

Erm and the film that was Treasure Island set in space (one again I was 6/7)

Also the beginning of Total Recall when his helmet breaks (I was 9)

The ghost in the library in GhostBusters (about 7)

and also Crimson Tide because it's scary that they could make a fim that's supposed to be tense so stupefying dull, I think this is because Star Trek nicked all the decent sub-warfare tricks and did them in space with good characters.

South PArk the movie was scary because it was crap compared to the TV series and FAR too many gay jokes.


Hmmmm now... movies that made me jump:

Final Destination (the bus is a classic)

That Freddy Film with the 3D glasses: VERY COOL. 3D glasses are under-used in my opinion, I'd love to see more horrors use them.

Does anyone find the Texas Chainsaw Massacre scary?

Not the film itself, but the events it was based on are scary.

The Shining
The Blair Witch Project
