"Scariest film I have ever seen was The Sixth Sense"

Heh.. I suffer from 2 things in that movie... One... I pegged it about 10 or 15 minutes into it what the 'surpirse' was... and 2 I think M. Night is likley one of thew worst directors ever!

There was a movie that came out about the same time that unfortunatly got overlooked, which when I saw it I thought it was easily 10 times the movie The 6th Sense was... a little Kevin Bacon movied called "Stir Of Echoes"

Pretty damn good...

"Brigadoon". I love it, a truly scary film -- especially the Hollywood sets!! The chase through the fake forest:brrrr!!!

yours, Peter T.

P.S. Scariest film I have ever seen was The Sixth Sense, it got me cold.

P.P.S. Vertigo is still the creepiest film, everything about it gives you the shudders.

"The Haunting" with Julie Harris. From early 60's. No special effects like today's films--just your imagination! Scary as hell!

Brigadoon, the 'Scottish' accents where bloody terible, The Americans should't ttry to speak Scottish because they're shit.
Not all but most.
And that also goes for any other country that tries a different language from their normal.
Now that's scary, I have never heard a Scot saying hoots mon the noo or the Irish saying begorra and begob.

Se7en... even with Brad Pitt...

There's a dream sequence in John Carpenters "Prince Of Darkness" that gives me the willies no matter how many times I see it...

John Carpenters "The Thing" is still a damn good piece of horror film...

The last 5 minutes of The Blair Witch had me really going too... Too bad the rest of it was too funny to be scary...

Quite a lot on recently in the papers and on television about the top horror/scary films with interesting choices by various celebrities. Most of the ones listed are as expected from the 70s onward. "Psycho" and "Alien" of course is included among all choices. Funny however that in my opinion, some of the most frightening films ever made have not even been given a mention. For example take the following - "Night of the Demon" (AKA "Curse of the Demon"); "The Beast with Five Fingers"; "The Screaming Skull"; "The Univited" to mention just a few of the real hair raisers.
