Alien scares the shit out of me

>>80844920
Even when I was a kid your pic made me laugh and stop taking the movie seriously. Signs is just not scary

the only thing that can get me, at 25, is really loud jumpscares in a dark room when someone else is with me

nothing really creeps me out anymore

I'm 32 and I hate horror movies, I still refuse to watch them. I think it's because I don't like seeing people get stabbed and that's what usually happens in horror movies.

For fucks sake I watched Krampus at Christmastime and was shitting myself hoping there wasn't any gore in it.

>>80844920
lmao we had to stop the film after this because my brother was hysterically crying

scared the shit out of me too so i wasnt mad

Event horizon gave me nightmares at age 16, not much since then though

I watched The Grudge alone in the dark when I was 26 and it scared the everliving fuck out of me. Hadn't had a scare like that in a while.

naw one of my mates is 34 and he can't watch horror movies to this day

>>80845103
I kinda like how Krampus turned pretty quickly from a quirky family movie into a demented horror movie. Wasn't scary to me but I could see how it would be to some.

I once saw a porn of this and now she just gives me boners

The last movie to trip me out was Grave Encounters, was also high as fuck.

Also pic related got my heart pumpin. Some stupid shit has to happen for it to work, but it's a thrill.

>>80844920
Yeah nothing has scared me since I was maybe 12 or 13, except poughkeepsie tapes and twin peaks final episode + fire walk with me

>>80845070
No one is immune to the jump scare. It's completely instinctual. That's why it's such a cheap scare, and the reason five nights at Freddy is not very good.

>>80844920
The only thing "scary" is how loud they are when they play a sudden sound effect meant to unnerve you
the settings or situation are never scary or horrifying anymore. there's no realistic horror nowadays, it's all supernatural/occult/alien.

agree the grudge just creeps me the fuck out. It's just the makeup etc are extremely well done.

What I generally hate in horror movies is shock scares. It's so cheap but ofc I get scared for that half second. wow congratulations great filmmaking

>>80845476
>tfw squeamish
I'll watch them, then get called a fag when I close my eyes during gore. fucking hostel 2

Honestly, The Last King of Scotland. The fact that shit like this happens is terrifying. Monster movies stop being scary because it's illogical but a democracy turning into dictatorship is more realistic.

This is what freaked me out as a kid

The ring is pretty fucking scary.

>>80847059
the ring is one of the horror movies that is genuinely good and doesn't rely on shock effects except for one time (in the chair in the dream). I watched the ring the first time when I was 12 with a friend home alone. Then we pause because he goes to piss, and then immediately the phone rings. I pick up and I hear nothing for like 5 seconds but it was my mom. Man I was so scared.

>>80844920
When they were climbing the ridge in hacksaw ridge i felt really fucking uneasy cause the music and buildup, and when the battle started the change in sound levels scared the absolute shit outta me. I've never had this effect with a horror movie so if anyone can reccomend me a good one it'd be appreciated

>>80847205
how does it feel to be almost 30 years old anon?

>>80844920
You can be scared psychologically. Empathizing with a character in a horrible situation too complex for yourself to know how to solve it. Jumpscares and such aren't scary anyway, just startling.

>>80847351
I'm 24 anon but it's fine thanks for asking though

I knew a guy in his late 40's, real hard-nut, who just could NOT watch a horror movie.

He could smash your head in with a blunt object no probs, but ghosts coming out of TVs NOPED him bigtime. He'd literally run from the room if a Horror movie came on TV.

I think we hit a mental point in any genre where you just know what's possible and what isn't, so it loses some of it's effect. I don't think age matters.

Jumpscares are cheap and get everyone. I fucking hate jumpscares.

>the ring came out 2002
>you were 12 years old 2002
>2002 - 12 = 1990
>1990 = 27 years old

hmmm..

>>80847601
>it is possible to watch a movie after the year it came out
amazing isn't it

>>80847601
The ring came out in 1998 though.

I like horror movies but the only ones that actually spook me anymore are the Paranormal Activities.

The idea of some intangible being fucking with you till it gets bored and then breaking your spine unnerves me.

That being said, they are shot movies. I just like the concept.

>>80847704
Concept gets me. texas chainsaw massacre. if they just hadn't wandered into some persons house they'd be okay.

>>80847671
no it came out in 2002. ringu is just as bad btw

>>80847655
>>80847671

>>80847800
How do you "sleep carefully" ?

>>80848018

>>80848018
This I'm curious too

>>80848018
>He doesn't have a fortified bed

well directed movies about serial killers/child rapists and their victims scare/creep me, also wild animals (e.g. bears) killing and eating humans

the best kind are the kind where you really get to know the victims before they are horrifically killed

>>80845070

Shouldn't it be more scary when you're alone?

>>80844920
>The ending of The Vanishing
>The tunnel/sewer scene in Kill-List
>Lake Mungo videoclip scene
>Fail-Safe phone line screech
>Hotel room/balcony murder scene in The Conversation
>The entirety of Threads
>basically anything by David Lynch

The basement scene from Zodiac was legit spoopy.
