Scariest film or TV programme you ever did see Page 2
Quote: SlagA @ July 16 2008, 9:25 PM BSTALIEN - Sci-fi - without a doubt the greatest movie that haunts my imagination.
There was a horror made by the makers of Alien about a guy returning to his home town in USA. He finds out the town is controlled by the doctor who's using voodoo to control the town folk. They're all dead. At the end, he watches a film and sees his own death, and he realises he's one of them but he'd somehow escaped the doc's influence. Scared to Death or Dead Scared or a variation on that. But I've never tracked it down. Anyone know this film?
In one scene a nurse kills a patient by jabbing a needle with drugs OD straight into his eye - possibly the only part of him that wasn't bandaged. Yikes.
Dead and Buried 1981
Written by Dan O'Bannion who co wrote ALien.
Ghostwatch, was it called? A spoof ghost hunting thing on TV; scared the ppop out of me at the time. As did an episode of, I swear, The Waltons. I'm sure there was an episode where the ginger girl is getting freaked out by her dolls, as they seem to have moved everytime she looks away, then looks back. Did I dream that?
There was also some film, Ive no idea what it was, where a man goes to an odd 'Prisoner' style place; he's shaving in front of a mirror, then he nicks himself and yelps, but his reflection doesn't, it freezes, like it's been caught out, then leaps out of shot/out of the mirror frame so that the man now has no reflection. Cacked me up good and proper, but I have no idea what it was, some film caught by accident on TV when I was about eleven and should have been asleep.
Jade on Big Brother.

Ghostwatch lead to atleast one suicide.
Scariest films are, I don't even want to type the titles in 
but I will. Elm Street 1, and Stephen King's IT. eeeee!
I can't let myself watch them any more cos they shit me up too much.
Scariest films I am allowed to watch (but only just) are American Werewolf in London and The Howling.
Scariest TV was The Tripods, the Triffids and like he said, Worzel Gummidge.

You can't buy that kind of publicity.

If you watch such shit, you deserve to die. (Am I being too harsh? I think not)
Watched The Omen on my own when I was about 16. Big f**king mistake. Great film though despite the shit stains on the settee.
You watched a film with no pants on about a 12 year old boy?
Roscoff that may be more frightening then any film in this thread?

I saw that when it first came out.
The scariest bit was when her head turned 180 degrees.

Couldn't think of anything, but there's one right there!
Was only ever scared by stuff when I was a kid - then I became well ard.
My parents thought it'd be a good idea to go and watch a video round my Uncle Patrick's house. It was something like the early 80s and he was the first one in the family to get a vcr. (A Ferguson Videostar I believe. A toploader)
Anyway, I was about 10 or 11 and the film he'd hired was called Zombie Flesh Eaters and I didn't sleep for days. It really was extremely graphic and to this day zombie movies shit me up something wicked. I'll never forget one scene where this woman was hiding in a cupboard and a zombie's hand came crashing though the wood, grabbed her hair, and very slowly pulled her face towards a piece of splintered wood. The wood got closer and closer to her eye as she screamed, and then there was this huge close-up of the wood spike slowly being pushed into her eye as blood and vitreous humour squirted out.
So yeah, thanks for that Mum and Dad.

Sweet.
