no particular order

* jaws : floaty head scene always gets me
* hostel :with the torturing and how gruesome parts are
ghost ship : the cheese wire decapitation was enough for me
signs : watched first 20mins and last 10 mins
* eightlegged freaks : made me scared of big as spiders , no just love its cheesey style

    Not sure about the out and out scariest but the spookiest / scariest for me is The Ring original Japanese version as mentioned above.

    "Don't look now" full, original 70's version. Action, suspense, realistic bonking with a naked Julie Christie in her prime and...terrible, shocking twist at the film's ending!

    Yeh, I've seen it a few times. And there was a lot poetic license taken with the film but there's some great playing with people's worst fears in it. :lol: I tell you what, Travis Walton's actual account is a damn sight more frightening, story hasn't altered by any of them in over 30 years.

    I love horror films and properly scary clowns do it for me. Horses for courses I guess.

    Cannibal Holocaust
    Cannibal Ferox
    Some redneck horror movie which I forget the name (I remember there being pliers and a bawsack - say no more I guess)
    Another one where a girl gets brutalised by 5 guys and goes about killing them all very harshly, again I forget the name

    Cant think of another one.

    Don't find myself being scared of films, just grossed out.

    I spit on your grave schmako, the one with the girl.

    It was banned for ages, may still be?
