Signs scared the shit out of me when I first saw it. I was in the 3rd or 4th grade though. The Eye (2002) was also pretty freaking scary. The original Hong Kong Version, not the one with Jessica Alba. I also thought 1408 was pretty creepy
I love the whole Horror genre , from Old Boris Karlof movies till today . The Grudge , Boogeyman , The Exocerist (its was scary when it first came out) and amongst a few that terrified .What didnt do it for me was Paranormal activity it was total yawn fest
One movie that I found scary in an eerie way was The Changeling (from 1980, not the newer Angelina Jolie movie). The child's voice was so eerie and the bouncing ball was creepy!
I didn't see The Changeling but a few films I found eerie were Orphan and The Skeleton Key, the creepy hoodoo curse was spooky.
I agree, Christinabelle, that voice was so unsettling, sent chills down my spine. And the ubiquitous ball! Are you the Christinabelle from the Carol Burnett skit. I liked Skeleton Key too, Basil (I love Fawlty Towers by the way)… what a freaky ending it had. I also agree that the Japanese version of The Eye was better than the remake. The Japanese versions of The Grudge, The Ring and Dark Water are better as well.
the vanishing i liked the newer one with kiefer but the older original was really really good...not really a horror but still scary to know there are people like that out there
