Only horror movie to"stay with me" constantly putting fear in me

Event horizon was legit. Forgot about that one.

I just rewatched The Blair Witch Project for the first time in 20+ years. I remember that one being scary the first time I saw it because it seemed so "real" and I used to go camping a lot with my family back then. Actually I remember one time shortly after that movie came out, my sister and I were sharing a tent while camping and got so freaked out by a tree stump that we swore looked like a little old lady that we screamed and woke everyone else up. Upon rewatching it as an adult, I just found it mostly annoying because of the constant bickering between the three characters.

"Rosemary's Baby" got to me. Before most of you folks were on the planet, I guess.

Plus it may have been the first time that I saw boobs in a movie theater.

Although it’s not technically horror genre, 7even really got into my head.
The Exorcist, The Omen and The Shining were all pretty terrifying as well.

Jaws. I grew up near the ocean. I was too young to see Jaws in it's initial release. But I saw it in a theatre when they rereleased it. I saw it in a movie theatre on the Ocean City boardwalk. So as you come out of the movie, you're staring right at the Atlantic Ocean.

Agreed. This movie was actually much more intense than I thought it would be…especially from the arrival at the mansion until the end of the movie. The last “act” of this movie is so disturbing.

Believe it or not, M. Night Shyamalan’s “Signs” also stayed with me for a long time after I first saw it…the full reveal of the “monster” and final battle is a bit of a letdown in my opinion, but prior to that, the tone and rising tension works well and is achieved mainly by letting your imagination and fear of the unknown do most of the work.

Fargo ND

Maybe 25 years ago. Matinee on a Thursday, 10:00. I was the only person in the theater watching ‘Children if the Corn’.

I admit I felt uneasy.

I second everybody who mentioned 'Hereditary'. That movie scared the living sh*t out of me.

I was totally thinking about this for a Halloween costume this year because I’m pregnant, but my husband said no one would get the reference.

Was that Children of the Corn II you were watching? Because the original was released in the 80’s. Part 2 had some bizarre CGI.

The Ghost and the Darkness

Yes. The odd thing is that Christiane F the film didn't bother me at all. We children of Bahnhof Zoo is simply a remake of it (which looks to modern to be in the '70s in my opinion anyway) but there is just something truly awful about the way the deaths happen. I've watched so many films, this one got to me. I suppose because it was children.

Probably lots of generations on this thread. I have to tell you, at the time, the exorcist was straight up life changing. Along with Jaws and maybe a little Ammityvile Horror. Any of that devil sh@# was chilling. But Jaws changed the planet.

In college, Freddy Krueger was a scary concept, coming for you in your dreams. Wack.

Texas Chainsaw Massacre--to this day I can't let anyone come near me with a chainsaw at haunted houses.

Forgot Scream and Scream Again

No runner should watch this movie ever--I truly wish I never had

The Conjuring movies deserve a mention. Really well done in an age where horror movies generally stink. Also it has the caveat that it's "based on a true story" which ups the fear factor.

Dunno, I definitely picked the pace up going upstairs weeks and months following.

Fight Club isn't a horror movie but that has disturbed me more than any movie has.

Titanic

All those people heading into the water to freeze to death knowing there was nothing they could do.
