Someone mention Annihilation a few weeks ago, and I just wanted to add that it's the scariest film I've seen that has affected me this much.

I watched it in full day-light, with a friend, on Netflix almost a year and a half ago and I still can't sleep with the lamp off.

I'm lying in bed, about to fall asleep, and then it's like my brain MAKES A CHOICE to start thinking about the mimicking scene which is the most disturbing scene I've ever seen.

I am a huge wuss and refuse to watch anything scary, so maybe one of those fake ghost hunter documentaries.

The original The Grudge, because it was the first full-on horror movie I really saw, and still one of the only ones (I don't like horror movies very much).

Annihilation looks like an amazing film but I am far too much of a wuss to watch it.

Blair Witch project. The ending freaked me out to high heaven.

Sorry, Wrong Number

black and white film, no gore, no jump scare, just pure TERROR anyway.

For movies, Blair Witch. For YouTube, No Through Road. https://youtu.be/08rj_ioKNSo

There was an episode of "Are You Afraid of the Dark?" in which a babysitter was telling a story to a kid, and stuff in the book came to life or something like that.

At one point, there was some super freaky-looking ghost/witch thing that came floating down the hallway, and I was absolutely TERRIFIED of that thing, to the point where I'd run down the hallway to my room at night because I thought that thing would get me.

Also, the Winkie's diner scene from Mulholland Drive. I haven't seen the full movie, I've just seen that particular clip, but I remember watching it and actually jumping and screaming.

The original Night Of the Living Dead. It's just got this creepy, eerie vibe and almost a documentary feeling that I personally find very unsettling. I find the original Nosferatu silent movie equally disturbing and scary. Oddly enough, gore doesn't bother me nearly as much, probably because I just find it to be gross and not scary. Same with violence, it's disturbing, yes, but it doesn't make my skin crawl in that creepy way. Maybe I'm just a weirdo, lol.

Nothing recent comes to mind, but when I was a kid and watched Sailor Moon, the appearance of Chibiusa freaked me out. She hypnotized Usagi's parents into believing she was Usagi's cousin and only Usagi and Luna (and we, the viewers) knew that was not true. Seeing Chibiusa in the house, pretending to belong, and the parents seeing nothing wrong with that was so scary.

I'd say the scariest things are the things that are realistic. The movies involving home invasions I find scary because those are believable.

For me it was The Descent. But I think part of what made it SO incredibly terrifying was that I knew absolutely nothing about it when I watched it. I didn't even know it was a horror movie. So my mind was zero percent prepared for it.

There was also this extremely horrifying Sherlock fic I read once, called We Are Salmon In The Stream, After Years At Sea. The author decided to be an asshole and post it on Valentines Day with misleading tags that made it sound kind of fluffy. But it was actually EXTREME body horror with graphic character death. That thing fucked me up for days. I barely slept for like two nights. (Body horror is my ultimate horror-squick.)

It Follows was only moderately scary while I watched it, but the way it stuck with me afterwards made it incredibly scary.

yeah, Annihilation was pretty freaky!

That mimicking scene was just freaky. The bear freaked me out more, though.

When i first saw it (and haven't seen it since) the scene in Pet Semetary when the guy goes into his (i think) house and it's all old and rotting and falling apart when a minute ago it was fine.

That freaked me out no end.

That and the sister in the bed whose back was all messed up.

There was a movie I saw when I was younger where a family moves to this fancy neighborhood (think Stepford Wives kind of neighborhood). Anyway, there the neighbors tell the family that his dog was barking too much and the family's like "nah he's just a dog". The dog goes missing for a day. Oh you think he's dead? Nah. He returns safe and sound except they discover he has stitches on his throat and he's missing his vocal cords. The Stepford Neighbors deny they ever took the dog and removed them and the family realize they where just creepy neighbors.

It's been years but that that part with the dog still messes me up.

Tell us!

Sitting on my ass watching football, woohoo!

I did some Spanish work, and other than that took the day off. I had a headache, so I didn't end up watching anything. Put some music on my Ipod so I could get it off my computer. Read some top ten lists on Knowable. Took a nap. Played with my kitty.
