Post by: BoyScoutKevin on June 19, 2014, 06:22:16 PM The problem I always have with this question is that what other people find scary, I don't find scary, and what I find scary other people don't find scary, but . . . ?! Having said that. This is what I have found scary in the past.
There be spoilers ahead, so if you don't want to know, then don't look. Nothing happens. The Village Anticipation is always scarier than all actuality. Something happens, but you don't know what. The Descent Something happens, but you do know what. Lair of the White Worm I actually found "The Descent" scarier when I didn't know what was down there, then when I did. I can handle the known. It is the unknown I can't handle. When I saw the boy scout standing by the side of the road in the rain, trying to thumb a ride in the rain. I knew what was going to happen. The pick him up. The take him home. The rape. The murder. And I was right. The slow riser Finding Nemo Mission to Mars Your back is turned, and someone slowly rises up behind you. The fast leaper Wait Until Dark 2001: Space Odyssey Someone or something rapidly leaps toward you or on you. The unexpected The Fly (1958) The expected The Helstrom Chronicle Miscellaneous 8 Below What. Where. When, Known. And it still gets to ya. Someone or something scary Atomic Submarine the one-eye cyclops Freaks the freaks Haunted Mansion the zombies Have Rocket Will Travel the flamethrowing giant spider Pinocchio monstro the whale Horror films The Descent Freaks The Fly (1958) The Haunted Mansion Lair of the White Worm 5 or only 33%, or my way of saying that the scariest films, for me, are your non-horror films. |
