I notice that a lot of people involved with the paranormal don't get scared at movies/books that scare others. Is there a book or movie that has totally scared the crap out of you?
Offline
I still have odd dreams after reading Stephen King's It 20 years ago. I read it every now and then but not often.
Offline
Any good horror book would scare me, but the one that sticks
out in my mind was when I read Stephen King's Pet Semetery.
I was maybe 20 at the time. It scared me so much I had to
sleep with the light on. My husband told me I was no longer
allowed to read Stephen King /laugh.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

I remember as a kid Children of the Corn really scared me.
The Ring was scary.

Movies don't really do it for me anymore. The last one that bothered me was the Blair Witch Project. The movie didn't scare me but whenever I was outside at night alone I kept having chills go down my spine.

the original The Wicker Man because i was used to the hero winning and when they burned his a$$…well, it just really got to me.

Not paranormal but Jaws made me throw up and I would not set a toe in the ocean for years after. But now I go in the ocean all the time

I don't think the Ring was as good as the Grudge. Just something about that one was creepier.

ryan…the grudge is great and the original in japanese is even scarier. they have this weird thing about hair that goes way back in their culture.

I didn't know about the hair thing but I know colors are important. I read somewhere that the color red is supposed to be associated with the hero.
Ironically, I watching Shutter right now. It's pretty good, not as scary as the Grudge or the Ring.
Offline
I still need to watch the Grudge.
Shutter was OK. Entertaining, but I kind of laughed at the end.

The Serpent and the Rainbow, movie and book.
The book was beyond creepy, base on a true story about real life zombies and Haitian Vodou.
By Wade Davis an Ethnobotanist.
The movie version was very loosley based on the book, but Wes Craven did it justice.
Scared the heck out of me!

That freakin' movie still makes me squirm till this day. I won't even go past the nail isle at Lowe's.
There was a movie that I saw when I was a kid that I still cannot figure out the name of. The scene that scared me enough to make me throw up was where someone went into a basement looking for someone, and there was either a piece of someone's face on the basement floor with the eye still intact or it was someone under some clothes on the floor peeking out, or dead. Something like that. I'm sure I would chuckle about it now. But back then, I almost had to be sedated I was so hysterical.

It's the most disturbing movie, to me imo.
Cause it could happen. I get chills just thinking about it.

Oh Heidi, I never made it the whole way through that movie.
Very, very disturbing, I just couldn't watch.

Less than half way probably. It's been awhile. I never watched the ending and don't want to see it.
Disturbing equals scarey to me. I think it's probably the only movie I've ever shut off for that reason.
The Serpent and the Rainbow, I almost shut off, but I read the book first so I had an interest.
But, held my hands over my eyes a times. Very unlike me, I don't scare easily during movies.
