Funny clip!


I heard a womans voice say 'Mrs Bates'... so it sounded like the film may well have been 'Psycho'...?


I never found the Psycho films to be scary... and I never found many other (so called) 'scary' films to be scary either...


But I can't watch 'The shining' on my own without having to turn it over half way through... and I think I remember a couple of 'Amityville' films as well as 'The omen' being a bit scary too...!


Can anyone else think of any 'proper scary' scary films...?

Hellraiser is pretty scary...and a film called 'Hostel' was  if you like that sort of thing..

And a brilliant but scary psychological thriller from Australia called 'She's crushed'....no one has heard of it, I loved it.

I absolutely hated Hostel, it frightened and depressed me

as did Trainspotting

I've never seen Trainspotting, just never fancied it.

Hostel is pretty gory, I like the scary films best, preferably without all the gore.
NEVER watch the Human centipede, its about the most repulsive film I have ever seen.

That one was so sickening I couldn't forget it for ages.

it was indeed.  i watched it with my sons and thought it was vile.  at the time my youngest was having issues about bad thoughts (basically, wanting to kill his teachers - he hated school).  his thoughts were really worrying him and i had to explain that we all have bad thoughts and said to him that the person who wrote the human caterpillar wasnt a maniac in real life but the mind can take us on really weird journeys.  that film made me feel sick too

hostel frightened the shit out of me

and trainspotting kind of had it's comical moments but it showed scenes of some guy coming down off heroin going cold turkey and the hallucinations were petrifying to me.  If i was ever ever tempted to take heroin i would remember that film and just think er,,no thanks

That's a good explanation given to your son. The nicest people can have the most vivid imaginations, and I think violent thoughts in youngsters can be very scary so its good to talk about them.
My son when he was young loved to draw and would create  quite violent pictures of guns and shootings, in real life he wouldn't hurt  a fly.

I wonder when Clive Barker and Stephen King etc realised that their scary thoughts could make them millions?

When I was a young kid in the 70's, about 7-8 yrs old, my mum used to sometimes let us stay up a bit late to watch some of the 'scary' stuff that was on back then... we used to love watching 'Hammer House of horror' and 'Saphire & Steel', that I seem to remember being on quite late... and sometimes particularly scary too...!

i remember hammer hosue of horror being scary - one of them was a kind of demon that killed people and then took over their lives and  looked just like them.  i only remember it had something to do with really bad teeth.  my brother knocked on the door to come in and i opened the letter box and made him show me his teeth before i would let him in

Can you remember ever seeing "Saphire & Steel"... and what that was all about...?


I remember it had Joanna Lumly in it, and the actor who played 'Steed' from 'The Avengers' in it too (I think)...


I seem to remember one particular scary episode of something, (hammer house or saphire&steel), where they were in some remote village and train stn, I think... something about an old soldier haunting the place... and a tune kept being played 'pack up your troubles in an old kit bag and smile, smile, smile'...!


Anyone...?


I was only about 7 at the time... and I think my mum only used to let us stay up and watch some of this scary shit cos she wanted to watch it but was too scared to watch it on her own...!!!

oh wow, syl my own son did that too.  he's good at drawing and liked to do cartoonish pictures (anime) and that.  he drew various pictures of his science teacher one with his head chopped off, one with a knife up his backside, one begging for his life while getting his throat cut, they were really violent and bloody. unfortunately he was daft enough to keep them on him and they were discovered.  his science teacher was shit scared of my son and wouldn't have him in his class after thrat.  i had to go down to yet another meeting about his behaviour and was trying to explain that thats how he gets his temper out of him is to just draw.

head was implying it was sociopatchic behaviour but as i said, normally that would mean cruelty to animals and younger children but not only do we have two cats who adore my son but his little cousins also love him to bits.  he's never actually been violent but used to get his temper out of him by violent drawings and rapping.

i just let him get on with it and now at 19 he's pretty well balanced i would say
