In Reply to: What is your scariest movie of all time? posted by millen on September 28, 2004 at 12:26:03:
Disney's SLEEPING BEAUTY contains what is possibly the most frightening scene in all of their animated films--when the witch Maleficent turns into the dragon, and the subsequent fight with Prince Philip. She even says the "h" word as she utters the spell that begins the transformation. Add to this the facts that the artists went for a slightly different look than in previous films (the flames, for instance, are greenish-yellow) and that the whole thing was shot in widescreen (the first Disney film to do so?) and you can imagine I was one terrified little kid when I saw it in the theatres in the 1970s, in what I now assume was its first return engagement since its initial release. The Tchaikovsky-derived score also helps.The first POLTERGEIST film kept me awake as a young teenager, probably because it took place in a normal suburban home much like the one where my parents still live.
In recent years, nothing has creeped me out as much as the original VANISHING (I note there are more fans in this thread)--cool, calculated evil with a twisted philosophical bent. I also enjoyed THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT and CANDYMAN a great deal.
