Everybody should say the Excorcist but who cares about that. What did the magazine say about Ghostworld? I know production has finished - when is it coming out?

-- Anonymous, August 21, 2000

Are we talking here about classy scary films-- e.g., The Exorcist, The Hunger, Burnt Offerings, The Ninth Gate --or clever/fun scary films like the 1981 version of The Thing or Near Dark or Dusk Til Dawn...or cheesy/sexy teen slasher films?

-- Anonymous, August 22, 2000

Yet Even More Off Topic, but...

I remember reading somewhere that Kevin Smith had expressed interest in making Ghost World. Did they say who was lined up to direct in the article?

I'm sure all this info is online somewhere, but I'm too lazy to go find it.

ps- scariest movie? I can tell you what's NOT the scariest movie-- The Blair Witch Project.

Scariest Movie? Well, the original veriosn of the vanishing (not the jeff brdiges / kiefer sutherland vehicle). I won;t give it waway for thsoe who haven't seen it. But really, it didn't hit me until about 3 days later how frikking scary it was. {shivers!} Nothing else comes to mind. Oh, I lied. Evenr though it sucked 95% of the time, DEVIL's ADVOCATE with Keanu Reeves got me; the demons in that are terrifying. OTher than that, well, it's a wonder films liek that get made. Ahhhh, maybe not.

I simply can't wait for a Ghost World movie... Jsut the thought makes me cry...

The Shining

I remember it was the first and *only* time my mother let my father rent a movie for "family night". For weeks my brother would torture me by crooking his finger and saying, "RED RUM! RED RUM".

The magazine article didn't say when "Ghost World" was coming out, it just talked a bit about the production design and a bit about the plot (apparently one of the girls becomes romantically involved with an older man whose character is based on Terry Zwigoff. This character is played by Steve Buscemi.)

I agree that "The Shining" is one of the scariest movies of all time, but I thought "The Ring" was pretty damn scary, too. It was sort of like "The Blair Witch Project," except that it was good.

-- Anonymous, August 22, 2000

Oh, as for the rumor about Kevin Smith directing Ghost World--NO WAY! I know that Dan hates Kevin Smith, and Terry Zwigoff has been the director from the beginning--he and Dan wrote the script together and then pitched it to studios.

Has anyone ever seen "Jacob's Ladder?" It's about this Vietnam vet (played by Tim Robbins) who starts having these experiences of weird demonic forces intruding into his daily life, along with flashbacks of something that happened to him during the war...I thought it was really well done, the acting was great and the "horror" aspect was mostly kept psychological and creepy, with you never being sure whether something was actually happening or if the main character was slowly going insane...made me all paranoid the first time I saw it. The one drawback is that the guy's son is played by a pre-"Home Alone" McCauley Culkin, and it's hard to take him seriously as a character and not just go "Hey look! It's McCauley Culkin!" whenever he's on the screen...

Now where are you all getting copies of The Ring?? I read about it on AICN and baby, I wants to see it. (Arghh... they're doing a hollywood remake, as they can't trust American audiences to go for an asian film...) Anyway, wanna know what scared me? I saw "Night of the Living Dead" when I was, like, 8, and I used to have regularly recurring living-dead nightmares every couple months... in stunning black & white, no less. Boarding up doors & windows & whatnot, until an arm comes bursting in.

-- Anonymous, August 23, 2000

I got "The Ring" from, uh, the video store. I wouldn't recommend this particular version of it, though--the image quality was quite poor, and the subtitles were very badly translated (and sometimes absent altogether).

Anything starring robin williams scares the hell outta me. I still have nightmares about being mind fucked by Mork, taken captive and forced to live out my formative years as a child laborer hand sewing big cursive letter L's on poodle skirts, sweaters and bowling shirts and being forced to pray five times a day to 'the Fonz'.

The Shining was very scary for me because I had read the novel and so I thought I knew what would happen and then when the old man was killed then suddenly I did not know what would happen and I got real scared.

Poltergeist partly because it made me realize that special effects had gotten good enough that they could make just about anything look real but also something about that stuffed clown doll on the rocking chair in the kid's room... years later it would vaguely bother me to see a stuffed doll on rocking chair in my kids' rooms.

The scariest of all was an old black and white probably 1940's vintage movie with Edward G Robinson called The Red House -- which is described as "A melodrama about a farmer who holds a terrifying secret concerning a sinister old house, which contains many unsolved mysteries." I was in third grade and it was on The Late Show on tv and I wanted to stay up and watch it and for some reason my parents said it was okay and they went to bed... I can't tell you much of what happens in the movie because after half an hour or forty-five minutes of watching it by myself, I was so scared that I turned it off and went to bed... but it took a very long time for me to fall asleep. (True, it probably would not scare a modern kid who has been watching really scary movies on video tape before even graduating from Pampers, but I'm talking about damn near half a century ago)

Hmm, there are several scenes that stick out as opposed to full on scary movies. I hadn't thought about the 'Poltergeist' one until you mentioned it. The kid keeps looking up to see if the toy clown is still in the chair, then finally one time it is not.

The beginning of 'Jaws' was memorable -- nothing like being attacked and eaten alive. Also, just for sudden shock value -- the dream sequence at the end of 'Carrie' where her hand comes out of the grave.

Though one of my favorite scenes is not scary at all. In Psycho II, Anthony Perkins is contemplating killing his newly found real mother, and handling poisons in the kitchen cabinets while she sits at the kitchen table. But suddenly, on inspiration he grabs a nearby shovel and lands her a terrific whack upon the head, so violent, the chairs legs collapse under her. (was I the only one that laughed at that)

BTW, everyone should rent "Killer Clowns from Outer Space" It's not real scary, just weird.

Cory, I am shocked and appalled. How anyone could ever find any type of humor in that movie is beyond me. Am I the only one swelling with outrage? Cory please, I know that this forum is public and everyone should feel free to speak their minds but are we not to expect some level of decency from our fellow contributors?

I beseech you fellow being to circuit any further thoughts of sharing such ghastly opinions and quickly disavow your previous proclamation... no one in his right mind should ever rent killer clowns from outer space.

By the way, I did so enjoy your description of the scene in psycho, especially the description of the new mother shovel bash as 'terrific'. Ya made me laff.

I'd be hard pressed to come up with a single "scariest" movie, but depending on the type of "scary" one responds to, I'd have this to recommend:

1) A flick out about 5 years ago called 'The Relic' would get an overall good rating in the categories of shock scenes, scary looking monster, and good plot. The one category most horror films fail miserably in is the latter since many conveniently skip explaining where the monster came from or some other important facet necessary to make the movie hit you on a more pesonal level. The Relic was almost a horror mystery that teased you to decide whether the monster was physical (the scientific explanation) or merely some physical manifestation of tribal practices (the myth explanation). Only near the end do you find out which one really explains the monster.

2) The best movie as far as shock factor and outright friggin' creepy scenes and sounds, would probably be 'Event Horizon' in my opinion. Like most horror movies, it had a plot with a few holes and by the end just failed to explain things in detail, but there were some scenes (not particularly gruesome) that still make me shiver from that one. The concept behind the plot was really pretty interesting and dealt with what lies in dimensions between two points in space when one is trying to warp space-time to move from one to the other.

3) One that always scared the hell out of me as a kid was John Carpenter's remake of the 1950's "The Thing", but once again, sort of lacking in plot. Carpenter's other early 90's film Prince of Darkness was pretty creepy too, but kind of slow.

Here are my top scary movies and explanations:

1) Event Horizon

-- Anonymous, January 16, 2001

Here are my top scary movies and explanations:

1) Event Horizon This movie contains very graphic images of people being tortured beyond their worst fears. Many scenes are shot in dark coridoors, with sounds that compliment the scene and build suspense perfectly. After intense buildups, I didnt even want to see something greusome to happen....and often didnt, which keeps the viewer on his/her feet at all times......Quite possibly the scariest movie EVER.

2) Nine Inch Nails: Broken the Movie While most people havent seen this movie, any person looking to see a truly frightening film MUST see this. It is a story about a psycho killer who picks up a random person off of the street and tortures/eats/molests his dead body. This was shot on a camcorder, so the quality of the movie actually makes you think twice, three and maybe more times to whether or not its real.....and when I saw it rumor was that it was real. A police investigation even followed this release as it was originally only passed on as a bootleg. Complete with very mood setting NIN video cuts between scenes....NOT FOR THE FAINT HEARTED

3) Texas Chainsaw Massacre This movie is about a very demented family, loosely based on true events. What actually happens to the characters is beyond greusome. The actors expressions and sounds that accompany them are very terrifying, and bring out the worst emotions. Definitely a movie to watch....over and over.

4) Pet Cemetary A classic, and hardly ever mentioned as one of the scariest movies ever. The drive for people to be with their loved ones after they are dead drive the characters to bring them back from the dead....although the sour earth that they are buried in bring them back in a very eery blood seeking form. Definitely scary, and affected my sleep when I was 11 years old (although hardly any movies really did this to me at the time). This movie is still very terrifying.

5) Evil Dead Although this series is mainly watched as comedy now, this B- movie contains a slight fright factor among the gallons of blood shed. Truly a classic, although it isnt as frightening as the previous 4, it is briliantly done, and MUST be viewed by any fans of this genre.

The scaries movie i have ever seen was based on reality. i believe that The Day After a movie about nuclear holocaust on our own soil was probably the scariest movie i have ever watched.

I have a few "toss ups" the first of which would definitely have to be The Exorcist...couldn't even endure the entire thing first time through..too intense, like when she's on the bed bouncing up and down and suddenly her necks bulges out and she starts growling in that gutteral animal sound, eyes rolled back then suddenly sits up and barks, "Get away..the sow is mine!"....freaky stuff!

Then there is House On Haunted Hill..the remake....the scene with the guys face scooped out threw me outa my chair! The balding doctor carrying around the hatchet was pretty scary.

The Shining was pretty suspenseful and creepy and ya gotta love Jack! Fav scene: she's paging through his 3 inch stack of typed papers that say line after line, "all work and no play makes jack a dull boy"..the music really built up that scene!

The Sixth Sense was pretty darn creepy the first time I saw it. When Cole stops in the hallway, the dog runs out of his room and the boy (ghost)with the shot out back of his head walks by, I jumped two feet in the air....and when the vomiting ghost-girl appears...wo! And what an ending on that one!

There was one installment of one of the Creep Shows that really scared me....the lady hits a guy in her car and the remainder of her ride home he is attached to her car, continualy trying to get in to her and screaming, "Thanks for the ride lady!!" Anybody remember that?

Though a B movie, Children of the Corn scared the bejeezus outa me when I was but a kid! It was a combo of the music and lack of any sane people that built the suspense. "He's wants you too, Malachi!" Stupid ending, though.

Hm. Well, I'm one of those lonely teenage experts in the horror genre. I was "raised on latex and corn syrup" and I certainly don't scare easily when it comes to movies. But... the #1 scariest horror movie I've ever seen has to be Stephen King's IT. The only movie to ever make me lose sleep. It keeps you thinking even after the flick's over. When it comes to my favorite horror movies? Well, they are as follows:

Night of the Living Dead (1968 original): HERE's your scariest movie of all time.

Dawn of the Dead: It's interesting to see how the entire world would react to the re-animation of the unburied dead. Makeup isn't great, but the story is golden.

Day of the Dead: Aside from being a musician, I'm a makeup artist, and this movie is my Sacred Cow. What a change from DotD! Possibly the scariest zombie effects you'll ever see. No one does it like Tom Savini.

The entire Evil Dead series: We can all relate to this one. Bruce Campbell is just... well, he's a modern Moses.

And, finally, Event Horizon. I, too, thought it was just so damn creepy. Abandoned spaceship sending distress signals years after its disappearance? Hyperspace route to the pits of Hell? Bring it on!

Yeah, love 'em or leave 'em. Those are my favorites.

I really like the Exorcist!! Both the old and the new version. The effects the sounds were amazing. The old fashion look makes it look very realistic. It scared the hell out of me! It was so exciting. Most people think you got to have sex, nudity, guns to make a scary movie. They are way in the gutter. In fact to get the best scary movies, you would definitely have to go back to the 7o's and the 60's maybe even before that with stuff like Carrie not The Rage and Pet Cementary, Chucky with oringinal cast, etc. Movies now are shit i mean they are exciting but they really loose the point with all that other crap.

OK... so even though this coversation is a year old I want to contribute.... I agree with several you guys have mentioned... OMEN (specifically Omen II when they are in military school... he was the best Damien); EXORCIST (especially the new version wit added scenes like the spider);Amityville Horror was great, too, as were the old Creep Shows. But... how could you forget ALIEN??? That is my all time scariest movie. It still gets me. My other favorite, though more for specific scenes was FIRE IN THE SKY... the hive scene just strikes fear in me. Also... anyone remember the old Hitchiker series when HBO first started? Those were more creepy, Hitchcockian, but very worthy! As a kid, my favorite stupid scary movie was HUMANOIDS FROM THE DEEP. remember that? So... that's my two cents!

UMMM...the scariest movie ever made was Stephen King's IT. I am seventeen years old, and I saw this movie when I was five or six. I am still afraid of clowns, and still sometimes, have nightmares about this movie. the worst scene to me...it's a toss up. When the photo album flies open and starts bleeding, and when they are all together, and they open the door of the mini fridge and his head is in there and balloons start flying out. I'm now an avid fan of Stephen King novels, but still can not bring myself to read this one.

If you want to see a really good ghost story, check out "The Changeling", starring George C. Scott. It takes place in an old Seattle mansion, not quite like the new "Red Rose" by Stephen King. This movie is more scary and realistic, on a scale of 1 to 10, I give It a 8. Check it out, you will not be disappointed. Sleep Tight!

Does anyone know about a video that has several short stories. It starts with a kid staying home and playing a video. Then you see him walking down a dark dungeon like hall and this is followed by some short stories. One that includes the "thanks for the ride lady"--not Creepshow 2, another where a gentleman is looking for a "nice cup of coffee" or something like that. Does anyone know what I'm talking about?

Thanks for any direction on this.

I just saw The Exosist (dvd). It takes some time to get to the point. When it does it's .... not really scary but there's a lot someone will learn from this movie. In that that stuff really goes on in reality. Exosism really exists. The movie strenghthens ones faith in the church. Priests go through a whole lot. For those who think that they're all powerful and they live in a perfect world, well there are Real supernatural powers out there. I don't watch movies in general because they are all about how the US is big and powerful and one man can save the whole world, Or using models (because they say sex sells. For heavens sake models are models, actors are actors. Must an actor be beautiful?) I am that regular pretty boy but since the exosist i look at life in a different way...

There are quite a few good scarey movies, The old ones are the best, like the Last House on the Left, The Little Girl who lives down the Lane, Jody Foster was exceptional in it, more suspenceful than anything, you had no clue as to what would happen next.... The newer scary movies leave something to be desired, like a basic story line or a plot.... i have a question tho and i hope someone still looks at this site, there was this old scary movie i seen as a kid it was about a group of actors in this old mansion shooting a movie and they start dying off one by one and something about a garden in it, If anyone knows the name could they please tell i'm curious to rent it.. thank you in advance. oh i also thought of another scary movie The Children about a small town that the kids go threw this fog and become zombies with black finger nails and start killing their families its old but very scary.......

The horror movies of today have no comparison with the ones of the past. The scary movie of my choice would be Halloween. Every attempt to stop Michael Myers by his family and law enforcement failed. The same could be said about the many sequels of Friday the 13th. In the progression of the Halloween films over the years they revealed information about the characters and the method's behind their madness. In Halloween:The Curse of Michael Myers they begin with information on how Myers was inflicted with the Druid curse of Thorn and how sacrificing one family it meant saving an entire tribe. Throughout the last two sequels; Halloween H20 and Halloween:Resurrection Myers is still pursuing Laurie Strode his little sister. Though thought to be dead for good after she chopped off his head with an axe. Sources have confirmed that the man behind the mask was a copycat killer dressed up as Myers. The newest film in the series Halloween:Resurrection should be equally as terrifying as the previous ones.

THE THREE SCARIEST MOVIES I EVER SAW

3) POLTERGEIST The tree scene was probably the creepiest scene in recent memory.

2) EVENT HORIZON I saw this on the Sci-Fi Channel and it scared the crap out of me, mainly because of the atmosphere. This one relies more on the music and sound than the monster stuff (which I guess must have been heavily modified for TV because I didn't see much of the gross-out stuff that everyone talks about).

And the scariest movie.... STARSHIP TROOPERS (SECOND HALF)

Although the first half is kind of funny, the second half of this movie scares me to death every time I see it. It is the scariest, bloodiest, most gruesome movie ever made in my opinion. My uncle recommended this one and I have never been so scared in my life than I was seeing this movie. Truly horrifying.

scariest movie, The Exorcist. based only on imagery and sound, this movie takes the cake. i don't think there has been a film in recent memory that has taken so many people by suprise in what it was willing to show. all of the controvery with the catholic church too made a difference, why was this something they did not want you to see? was it something that could happen, or even worse, something that did happen?

Well I would have to say Witchboard, but it was an older version, NOT those stupid ones out now that are like half porn, lol. It was made in the eighties and I saw it when I was like 10 so I found it scary. That was the only movie to have ever freaked me out. I've been looking for it everywhere so if someone know's where it is, gimme a shout plz. Thanx
