> What is the scariest movie you have seen and why did it scare you?

Hmmm, I used to scare very easy at movies (Gremlins would freak me out), but I seem to have out grown that. I even took a cinema class last year about classic horror films and wasn't scared. Not even by the Omen really, entertained deffinatly, and pulled into the movie, but I wasn't scared.

When I was in fifth grade I saw Vincent Price's classic 3-D horror film 'The Wax Museum' and that was scary (then at least), especially because of the 3-D effects. One scene looked like one of villian's henchmen jumped up out of the front row.

The best film I saw in the Horror Film class was Hitchcock's Psyco. I wasn't scared, but Hitch really knew how to make a movie suspenseful.

> Followup: What movie did you think would scare you and why didn't it?

The Exorcist, no really I wasn't scared by it. I have heard it touted as one of the scariest movies ever, so I may have set my sights preaty high, but I just wasn't scared.

The biggest flaw I saw was the actually exorcism itself. Not the special effects, I give movies their due depending on the time of their production, but the fact the actual sceans were so short, and the Old Priest died far to soon.

From the start of the movie he is given an Van Helsing-esq stature. He is cool and mysterious and old and wise at the begining and you spend most of the rest of the movie waiting for him to come back.

Then he does and takes charge and you think there is going to be a huge climactice battel in that bed room. But all we get are a few repitions of "The Power of Christ compels you!", some projectile vomiting, shouting, and then the priests pop out for a cigarette break! Then the old, wise, mysterious, Van Helsing-esq priest goes in himself and dies, OFF CAMERA! I felt kinda cheated by the end of the movie myself.
