Only once a year we have Friday The 13th and ever since Jason Voorhees started haunting our dreams and what better way to start celebrating the 13th than a good gory horror movie?
Friday the 13th has always been one of my all time "scariest" horror movie series. Much like my other two childhood nightmares, Chucky and Freddy, the scary part about Jason is the fact that he seems to eternally live on no matter what you do to him. Ugg there is just something about a bad guy that wont die that never fails to creep me out. Unlike Chucky and Freddy, Jason's scare factor is all about the surprise. When I was in high school I think most of the boys used Jason as away to get girls to make out with them as there is just something about Friday The 13th movies that leave you crawling into the lap of the person next to you.
Friday The 13th Part 2 pretty much picks up where the first movie stopped a little while down the line. Though I think we all seem to expect that sequels will not be as good as the first, especially when it comes to horror, there are alot of positive things ot be said about Friday The 13th Part 2. For one when I said that gore was not a big factor in the first movie it seems that someone told the directors that as well as Friday The 13th Part 2 starts Jason down the road of being a full fledged blood and guts slasher movie. I'm fairly positive they ordered the fake blood by the tub full for this one.
I'm not sure 80s horror movies were never really known for their extensive plot lines but something about Friday The 13th Part 2 falls short of the originals story. I think since we already for the most part know Jason's story there is not a ton of background info to be had in the second part and it seems that most of the budget went into the gore and special effects department. What we lack in plot we certainly gain in sound track and blood and guts. Though otherwise the storyline is pretty much the same.. Jason lurking in the shadows killing people anytime he gets a chance. It may just be possible he is a little pissed off about his mother?
The extra features are pretty cool, on the first Friday The 13th Uncut release there was a set of extra features called The Lost Takes of Camp Blood Part 1, well on the second DVD you can see a continuation of that mini series and its neat to see that continued on.
Friday The 13th Part 2 is available right now on dvd and you can get your copy on Amazon!

When I was little, I was changing the channels on Halloween when I came across Nightmare on Elm Street. I saw the part where Johnny Depp's character was being killed. I had nightmares for a long time!

My Bloody Valentine scares me!

The Exorcist scares me more than any other horror movie. I'm 42 and have NEVER seen the entire movie!
I am a subscriber!! Thanks again
"Evil Dead" spooked me silly. There's a scene where the girl who is possessed is in the cellar. The rest of her friends chain down the trap door in the house to keep her down there and she's laughing this evil, maniacal laugh. She can raise the door a few inches to peek out and then she stabs one of her friends through the hand with a pencil. I can duplicate her laugh and it scares my husband every time.

I remember seeing "the Shining" with Jack Nicholson when I was younger and I was scared to death! But I loved it!

I would have to say the horror movie that scares me the most would have to be " When A Stranger Calls" with Carol Kane. Its every babysitters nightmare.

The original "Halloween" still gives me nightmares, but not only because of the eerie/chill factor, but also because of the suspense, and that famous piano score. Also, it terrifies you without the excessive use of blood/gore that can sometimes flaw a horror movie.

The Exorcist was the one and only movie that gave me nightmares. I could not wall down a hall without someone turning on a light first for two weeks after seeing this.

White noise is probably the scariest to me!
The Birds and Chucky! Scared me very much when I was a kid! Still do!
There are so many horror movies that have scared me but I always go back to the first to really spook me and that is the original Night of the Living Dead. I was creeped-out for weeks after watching that one. Thank you for the great giveaway!
Cant wait for the new one

Borderland scared the crap out of me. It is based on a true story to boot. Three american best buds take a vacation to Mexico where they become victims of a machete-wielding cult. The acts of violence inflicted on these poor guys(and others) is unimaginable. That movie was so soul-disturbing that I vowed to never watch it again. And I haven't!

The Shining always brings shivers down my spine, but the Witch in the Wizard of Oz is a close second.

The Leprechaun. I think that's the right title, something like that. I saw that as a kid and I remember being shook up for days afterward.

I'm still afraid of watching the movie the Exorcist. Very frightening because it's based on a true story.

When I was much younger (probably too young) I saw The Amityville Horror. The scene where the little girl sees the glowing eyes outside her window scared the heck out of me. For almost two years I would not look out the window of our house at night because I was terrified that I was going to see those glowing eyes staring back at me. Thank you for the chance to win.

I'm a horror movie fan and this is one of my favorites. However, I became deathly afraid of Freddy Krueger at a young age and refuse to watch any of the Nightmare on Elm Street movies to this day.

The Ring Terrified me on first viewing.

There is no horror movie that can even close to touching the Exorcist in terms of sheer terror. I still get frightened thinking about that head turning all the way around and the look on that little girl's face...eeewwww......

SawV scared me lots!
The Exorcist scared me because I felt the theater I was in must be an evil place. I wanted to get out. Please accept my entry. Thank you.
Hostel was definitely the scariest movie I have ever seen...my eyes actually teared up from being stuffed in my pillow. :(
The scariest movies to me are the ones that are the most real. Guys with masks on or creatures and aliens aren't as scary to me as say a serial rapist or kidnapper.

That little girl from The Ring scared the heck outta me.
A brave person dies only once but a horror movie watcher dies many times.
Rosemary's Baby is my favorite.

The Shining
The "Saw" movies totally freaked me out, at the end of each one of them I thought to myself how could someone even think up some of that horror to film. Even as an adult I had nightmares after watching those. I love scary movies!
The Others freaked me out.
horror scare me never i love horror
the Shining
SAW II scared the heck out of me.
The Exorcist. I have never been able to sit through the whole thing.
The Exorcist is sooooo scary!
The saw movies scare me.
Poltergeist scared me so much. When I was a kid, I looked a lot like the little girl from the movie, so I would get teased about that, so when I saw the movie it completely freaked me out. Thanks!

One recent horror film that terrified me in the theater is "The Strangers" - it was so full of tension that I could barely watch at some points, as the film's two protagonists tried to escape the trio of crazies who invaded their secluded home in the woods. Love that movie!

I saw a little bit of "Audition" - totally freaky, couldn't watch it because it was too scary. I liked "The Ring" the first time I saw it. They had suspense done right.
Hope that I win this too...I love theses movies!
