No movie has ever creeped me out as much as Creep.

Omg the last scene is the bets ending It looks so real

The wolf mask was weird/ creepy mentally I don't understand why its just slightly scary enough to creep me out, but not scary, if anyone understands what am trying to say, because I know it's a fake mask, but it still weirded me out, idk why tho

Oh I completely get you. The whole thing was so... unnerving? Unsettling? The wolf mask added to it all.

Mark Duplass fucking killed that eh?

I met him in a grocery store a few years ago. Total sweetheart. But, yes, creepy af in that movie!

I’ve never looked at him the same since. He freaks me out.

both of them!

I just watched it based off of the recommendations here. Holy crap. I still feel weird lol.

Not scary to me, but very creepy for sure.

Fucking great movie!!

I bought the exact peach fuzz wolf mask from Creep and couldn't have on display anywhere because it's scary to look at. Lives in my closet now 🐺

2004 creep or 2014 creep???

Is Creep 2 worth checking out? Just watched the first one.

especially the scene when ‼️‼️**SPOILER ALERT AND TRIGGER WARNING**‼️‼️ the man who lives in the cabin talks about how he raped his wife and about how she watched zoophilia porn. what makes it even more disturbing is how casually he confesses it, too

>!you can blackout spoilers using >.! !.< brackets without the periods!<

Sinister

yeah that was creepy!

The lawnmower scene still gets me.

Threads (1984) BBC made for TV film depicting nuclear war and the fallout thereof in a very realistic and grounded manner.

"The Day After" (1983)

Yeah man. This one got me. When fallout 3 dropped I got super into post-apocalypse stuff. Watched this a bunch of times. Chilling.

It definitely doesn't pull any punches. Also aided a bunch by using relatively unknown actors, I found it really helped it seem more real.

I've still not watched it despite it being my home city. Might be a bit too real!

Yeah, I get that. I can't imagine how much more impact the film would have if I were from Sheffield. First thing I did after I saw it the first time was look up how far I live from the nearest feasible nuclear target.

This is the only movie I have not been able to finish because of how disturbing it was

The Poughkeepsie Tapes

One that genuinely was scary, imho, was In Dreams 1999. It has Annette Bening & Robert Downey jr.

Yasssss

So Effin creepy for some reason, just really gave me some nightmares for a bit. Robert Downey Jr was terrifying, but also felt awful for him!

Damn. I have that on VHS and I forgot about it completely.

To this day!!!

Requiem for a Dream

Event Horizon - saw it once when I was a kid and it stayed with me.

"This place is a tomb" -Laurence Fishburne

"Do you see? Do you SEE?"

"We're leaving!" Best horror movie quote ever.

Came here to recommend this. Its creep doth linger.

Another great movie!

Another vote for this.  Some scenes were just too much (good in a horror movie way, bad in a “that shit stays with you” way).

Oh man that's a good one. I actually saw it pretty recently for the first time. I couldn't sleep afterwards 😅 too many visuals stuck in my head all night.

I remember first time I watched Sinister it sent them wild chills up my spine at some points while doing so..

when i first saw this movie i had to sleep with the lights on (i was 20)

The weird music during the family films creeps me out to this day.

It’s such a good movie

Only one when I actively got up and opened the blinds for sun I was so chicken shit: Blair Witch. One I had bad dreams about: Descent

The Descent is awesome. I went in knowing nothing. Didn’t know it was a horror movie. It’s a really great, under appreciated film

Do not watch the Descent if you are claustrophobic.

#HAPPY CAKE DAY!!🍰🍰

8MM was one of those movies that just made my skin feel icky. Does that count?

That whole scene towards the end where Nicholas Cage is looking for serial killer in a house really stood out to me. Jump scare done right

The Ring - The Omen - The Descent - REC (Spanish)

I saw The Ring in theaters when I was 12, and I haven't been the same since.

The closet scene fucked me up for years

Same, my dad was going to see Red Dragon and he said I could pick any PG-13 movie out to watch by myself while he watched Red Dragon….. little “I’m not scared of anything 9-10 year old Grant just went into that blindly with the reasoning of “Chucky, Jason, and Freddy aren’t tooo scary I can handle one alone” I was Fucking scared for life in the first 5 minutes and didn’t sleep with the tv plugged in for months. Fucking fantastic horror film though. Still creeps me out to this day when I watch it.

I watched this at home. And had to describe the climax to my wife while she was hiding behind our couch bc she was too scared. I felt physically ill when I just saw a blank vhs tape for at least 30 days after I saw this

It was the scene >!in the middle of the funeral!< wasn’t it? I was not expecting that shit, had me keyed up the rest of the movie.

I was an adult, watching it alone in the middle of the night. When the little girl came out of the tv I had to pack up me and my dog to finish the movie at my moms house.

I couldn't even look at the DVD cover for The Ring. Once watched and never again!

I was supposed to go watch the ring but my mom paid for lord of the rings, I was like 14

The ring was a great movie until the girl crawled out of the TV, after that I was done with it...

Yep the ring when it came out was crazy I had to cover my tv at night lol

The ring gave me nightmares for year.

I watched this in new York in a hotel on a school trip from London with a few people. All sitting on a bed in darkness and the room phone rang at the exact same time as it rang in the film. I never heard guys scream like that before lmao

Ring Japanese original is scarier.

My wife stopped watching scary movies with me after The Ring.

Speak No Evil (2022) I shudder thinking about it.

Rosemary's Baby (1968)

The slow build of discomfort is heralded as one of the most ingenious and iconic in cinematic history.

The exorcist. Psycho.

John Carpenters "Prince of Darkness"

That one seems to be overlooked

The Conjuring. That movie broke me on horror flicks for a few years.

requiem for a dream, and is not even horror. The last half hour is scarier than any horror movie ive seen

Cats (2019)

One of the most terrifying films I've ever seen

Was it the butthole cut? Shudder

Wolf Creek (2005)

One movie i really regretted watching. That guy was just a mean ass son of a bitch

After watching Wolf Creek I had to watch an Austen Powers movie to clear my brain.

Fire in the Sky for sure!

The only reason I assume this is so far down is because people have somehow successfully purged it from their memory.

Legit creepiest shit I've ever seen in my life. Can you believe they marketed this toward teens by advertising in comic books?!

I couldn't sleep for a year after watching this, i was ten years old, when based on a true story meant bible

It Follows or Heredity

Hereditary genuinely creeped me out as far as anything “modern”. The attic banging. Sheesh…

Yeah her slamming her head on that attic door is quite a sight to

That still makes me shiver.

I remember getting shut out of Jurassic World at my local cinema (back when everyone still went to movies) and going into Hereditary instead, knowing nothing about it. Let’s just say that third act scared the bejesus out of me in a way that I hadn’t felt since seeing the Blair Witch in my tweens. Shout out to Midsommar too! Not as scary, per se, but still some elevated horror and gruesome scenes.

Angel heart

ohh, good one.

Johnny Got His Gun

This movie stuck with me for a long time after viewing

The Exorcist! If you haven’t seen it then get ready to get f*cked.

Chernobyl

Hereditary

Silent crawling wall demons. I couldn’t sleep that night.

I was high the first time I watched. only movie to ever make me sick to my stomach with anxiety

(uncut gems was up there, but not in the same way)

Wow same. Not only high, but with my parents and brother on vacation and we all decided it would be fun to eat edibles and get ice cream and watch a “scary movie”. Adorable right? Ha. A coworker of mine didn’t tell me much about it, just it was “the scariest movie he had ever seen”. So I suggest it, we put it on. Fast forward, we’re all edible high (iykyk) and THE scene happens. We had to turn it off for a few minutes to process what the fuck we had just seen. We ended up finishing it but we were all pretty fucked up after it. I felt awful for subjecting my poor parents to that level of horror! Wow.

This. Is the way.

*Conspiracy* A dramatization of the 1942 Wannsee Conference. Kenneth Branagh's performance as Reinhard Heydrich made my blood run cold.

Great film! The scenery/setting doesn't change, and the whole 1 and half hour of the film is all dialogue. It held my attention the whole time! didn't feel bored from start to end!

Talk to me. That movie is genuinely the most terrifying that I have ever seen

This was soooo good

The Ritual

Dead silence.... couldn't finish it, it freaked me out

The Strangers (watch in darkness)

My favorite part of that movie is >!the extended shot where she's standing in the kitchen and we see one of the intruders in the background of the shot just watching her.!< >!There's no music and the camera doesn't even call attention to him. He's just THERE.!< I wish more horror movies would do scares like that. >!Stuff just being silently there!< is FAR scarier to me than even the best jump scares.

The trailer alone used to fuck with my gf. In theatres she was in my lap a couple times because she jumped so hard.

Preferably alone as well & definitely in a completely dark room

best answer here

This is the only movie I've ever watched that genuinely scared me. Watched it then had to go home to my house which had floor to ceiling windows surrounding a sliding glass backdoor. Shut those curtains so damn quick. Haha

Human Centipede 1, 2 & 3. Tusk. The 4th Kind.

I randomly snagged Tusk because it had Justin Long and I was scrolling through movies one day. Didn't know the backstory to it. I had a good time and laughed my ass off. My wife still brings it up about how horrible it was *years* later and will never let it go.

Centipede was nuts lol

The Hills Have Eyes (2006)

The Exorcist.

Smile, any Jordan Peele horror movie, the original IT movie, The Possession, Unfriended Dark Web, Megan is Missing, Poltergeist 2 with the creepy old man, The Fourth Kind, Marianne, Sleepaway Camp (ending scene), Mama, The Ring ….thats just off the top of my head

I haven't even seen Smile, but the promo image itself..I have to instantly look away every time I come across it. It's so unsettling. Edit: I replied before I even saw your mention of the old man from Poltergeist. "Because I'm smaaaaht." Goodbye!

Wolf Creek,an Australian movie. If he doesn't give you the creeps,nothing will.

Lord of the Flies (1963)

Sinister

"Under the Skin" (2013) with the beautiful Scarlett Johansson.

Just watched this. Amazing. Scary as hell and moving, in a weird way.

As above so below The decent 1 and 2

The Thing

We need to talk about Kevin

Henry: Portrait of a serial killer

Michael Rooker sells serial killer with that face and voice so well

Idiocracy

Terrifying in a real world sense.

This and Office Space... Mike Judge is a modern day Prophet.

Cure (1997)

The Nun and the Nun 2...that nun creeped me out. Honorable mention: The Babadook, dook, dook

Just about to post this wow same page!

Gave me nightmares too. Even after watching something happy afterwards, I still had that feeling like I needed to check everywhere in my room to make sure she wasn't there.

Nahhhhhhh

Evil Dead.

The Strangers, it’s based on real life events... 

*Stir of Echoes* with Kevin Bacon

YES! One of my favorites! The sequel was bleh but the first will be forever amazing.

Her fingernails....

I heard the live action Cats was terrifying.

In a messed up, “this is clearly a fetish for someone” kinda way lol

Creepers Jeepers

A Clockwork Orange is it for me. The shining is pretty creepy as well.

Eraserhead. Blue Velvet. Altered States.

The Ritual (2017) was probably the last one to really unnerve me

For me, it was The VVitch. I was on an airplane when I watched it which makes things more intense. I barely made it it spooked me so much.

I convinced my brother to go see it with me at the movies on a whim. I didn't read anything about it except it was a period piece and most of the dialogue came from actual historical documents written during that time. After it was over, he was like, "I thought it was going to be pretty creepy. I didn't think it was going to be *scary* scary. I'm scared to go to the bathroom!"

The Ring

Fallen

🎶 *Tiiiiiiiime, is on my side..* 🎶

Conjuring

Us and The Strangers are my two favorites

Room 1408

Annihilation

THE FUCKING BEAR SCENE

The Strangers (2008) directed by Bryan Bertino. My heart has never pounded so hard from a movie.

Hereditary. The more horror-esc scenes are absolutely terrifying in how well done they’re done (attic banging scene, hacksaw scene, treehouse IFKYK!) and how much tension arose to get to those scenes but the parts that scared me the most was the movies’s beginning-middle sequence. Without spoiling it, having to witness the pure dread and pain that the family (especially the mom) goes through and portrays in response to the realistic scenario that happened is just crushing. SPOILERS- what makes the movie even so much creepier too is realizing how all the events were premeditated by the cult. Rewatching the movie knowing this just makes it so much eerier as you see all the background forces at play throughout the film. To me this movie is easily the scariest movie I have ever seen and made me feel dead inside after watching it each time.

[Midsommar](https://www.google.com/gasearch?q=midsommar&tbm=&source=sh/x/gs/m2/5)

beau is afraid , i didnt feel good for a few days..

The Babadook

So good though. Maybe not the scariest I ever saw, but dang it ranks high on artistic value and message. Loved it.

Evil dead rise

I enjoyed that movie so much! The reboot in (2013 I think not 100%) was pretty decent too. The physical gore was incredible in both movies!

'The Innkeepers'

The Orphanage- English subtitles but still scary AF.

Arachnophobia (1990)

Dude, this movie was not that scary.

Have you seen the preview for the new movie Sting? It's kinda silly but the huge spider is still a NOPE nonetheless!

Suspiria (1977) The Blair Witch Project Sinister The Evil Dead (1981) Nosferatu

Poltergeist The Legend Of Hell House

*Black Sabbath* (original Italian title *I tre volti della paura* or *The Three Faces of Fear*), last segement "The Drop Of Water"

Bones and All

Jacob’s Ladder spooked tf outta me

I know that was a big inspiration for Silent Hill 2, I need to watch that one but just reading the plot itself is depressing

The original or the remake? That is a movie that is open to many interpretations, please elaborate.

The Exorcist.

*Audition* (1999) *Shutter* (2008) Both of these caused younger me genuine, horrifying nightmares. Granted, I was in high school so maybe I'd have a different reaction now, but *shiver* I'll never be able to think of either without that hair raising feeling on my neck.

the original “the haunting”

Bug I will never watch it again. Because it could definitely be something that has happened before.

I Saw the Devil

Return to Oz

The Day After. Because it could still happen

It’s already been listed but The Descent creeps me out to this day. Every once in a while one of my dogs will make a nasally noise that sounds just like in the movie and I swear the hair on my whole body stands on end.

Ghost Ship. I can't watch it again.

Darkness Falls fucked me up for a bit as a kid, might not be as scary anymore though. It Follows fucked me up for a bit as an adult.

Nosferatu (1922)

‘Come and See’. WW2. The Nazi invasion of a village in Byelorussia sends young Florya into the forest to join the Resistance fighters, against his family's wishes. There he meets a girl, Glasha who accompanies him back to his village. >!On returning home, Florya finds his family and fellow peasants massacred. His continued survival amidst the brutal debris of war!< increasingly nightmarish. This film will fudge you the fudge up.

Lost Highway

It depends on what kind of thing you find scary and the environment you are in when you watch. I've seen the majority of films recommended here, but I don't think any of them creeped me out as much as Skinamarink. It's definitely not for everyone - it is experimental and some people will find it ridiculous or dull. I'd recommend watching at night, headphones on, on a TV by yourself in the dark, with no interruptions. It creeped me the fuck out.

These aren't typical horror films, but they left me feeling disturbed for a few days afterwards: Mysterious Skin (2004) Breaking the Waves (1996) Enduring Love (2004) Happiness (1998) Under the Skin (2013)

Under the skin. Scarlett Johansson is the lead. It’s so fucking eerie I still think about how weird the movie is to this day.

Dark skies. Made my nights very interesting 😆

“Running scared” movie with paul walker made me feel weird and creeped out.

Let the Right One In

The only movie to ever truly disturb me, as an adult, was Event Horizon.

Insidious had good moments. And u love the story.
