Top 10 scary films.
this i think is most difficult because i don't find most horror films scary at all and think actual real life is more terrorfying.
and i watch them for reasons of entertainment and find a lot of comedy in them as well, especially the Italian ones. even as a child i would sit there with a big grin on my face watching Dracula in Hammer films when the other kids were crying and hiding behind the sofa.
but that's not to say that there's nothing at all that hasn't scared me or made me a bit uneasy.
1)The Omen, was very well made and believable and a genuine scense of unease, eventhough it's lost the impact now.
2)The Exorcist, was also a bit unnerving on the first watch, eventhough i find it quite funny nowadays.
3)Let's Scare Jessica To Death, made me feel rather uneasy at the time, but i barely remember it now to be honest.
4)Aliens, i found a bit disturbing because i have a phobia of worms and tentacles, and didnt like the black tentacles coming up from under the water with Newt.
5)Threads, because the threat of war with Russia was real at the time.
6)Squirm, too many disgusting earthworms wriggling about.
7)The Worm Eaters, no thanks.
8)Ouatermass, not the Hammer ones, but starring John Mills and a bunch of weird hippies turning to stone. no idea why it disturbed me at the time.
9)The Wicker Man, the end was so powerful and a bit frightening
10)And a episode of Space 1999 called Dragon domain, with a horrible tentacle monster on a abandomed space ship eating people and mummifying them. much more scary than watching Cannibal Holocaust and I Spit on Your Grave as a kid.
