So lets start a scary movie thread.
List some of your favorite movies based on scare factor.
Personally for me, gore does not scare me. the movies that leave it to your imagination to scare you with possibly some good special effects to help.
My scary movies:
1. The Changeling. This movie was creepy. that is one seriously pissed off kid. the bathtub scene, the seance, the ball going down the stairs, the well scene and the flipped over police car/shattered mirror were all very creepy.
From the seance:
"How did you die, Joseph...? Did you die in this house...? Why do you remain...?"
A bit of wisdom from the local historical society:
That house is not fit to live in. No one's been able to live in it. It doesn't want people.

2. What Lies Beneath. This movie had some really interesting uses of mirrors. The bathtub scene was really spooky. The scene where the truck drives off into the lake was creepy, and the scene where the dead girl takes over the body of the wife.
Part where the dead girl takes over the wife:
Claire Spencer: Hello Doctor Spencer.
Norman: You're not yourself today are you?
Claire Spencer: No, No I'm not.
Claire Spencer: I think she's starting to suspect something.
Norman: Who?
Claire Spencer: Your wife...

3. The Haunting (original movie from 1963, not the turd with Catherine Zeta Jones). An excellent adaption of Shirley Jackson's Haunting of Hill House. the nursery and the the whole house in general, and the way the entity slowly took over Eleanor Lance's mind...
Opening to The Haunting:
Hill House, not sane, stood by itself against its hills, holding darkness within; it had stood so for eighty years and might stand for eighty more. Within, walls continued upright, bricks met neatly, floors were firm, and doors were sensibly shut; silence lay steadily against the wood and stone of Hill House, and whatever walked there, walked alone. -- from the first paragraph of The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson (1959)
