...the tale called "A drop Of Water" (the movie is a trilogy of creepy stories). "A drop of water" is skin crawling, and ended with a shot so chilling it virtually ruined much of my childhood (at night, or whenever I had to go into our basement to get something from the freezer).
I actually saw it again not long ago. Still fun - very atmospheric - especially "The Wurdalak" tale, with good 'ol uncle Boris in a creepy old tale of vampires. But you've just got to see the drop of water segment - the creepiest re-animated dead person shot of all time.Anyway, I rate the Exorcist as easily the greatest, scariest horror film. It kills me that some people view it as simply an empty collection of shock effects. How anyone can miss the incredible technique, using all that filming has to offer, in grafting dread into every frame, every moment, ...well, I just gotta shake my head.
(Or spin it).BTW, some other flicks, not necessarily the scariest: The Night Stalker - Darren McGavin as a Las Vegas reporter stalking a modern day vampire. I've seen it many times and it amazes me how well it holds up, with very entertaining character actors and some genuinely creepy
vampire moments. Scared the piss out of me when I was a kid.Dawn Of The Dead (sequel to Night Of The Living Dead) had many goofy moments, but also some really creepy ones - when one of the heroes dies, is covered up with a bed sheet, with the rest of the cast just waiting for him to reanimate from the dead (very eerie when he does).
I recently watched John Carpenter's "The Thing" on DVD and it held up quite well as a chiller
How 'bout a stinker? Anyone here remember seeing "Grizzly?" - Jaws, hook line and sinker but with a big bear? Peeeyuu.
