What is the least scary movie of all time?
"Remains of the Day" was completely lacking in any scariness, I'm afraid.

2. I disagree. Anthony Hopkins scares me in any movie he appears in
:scared:

4. Maybe not in "The Lion in Winter"
Actually, my post was the lamest of copycat posts. I wish Stop The Morans was here...he's a master of the copycat. I actually wish STM was here, period.

3. But if you're afraid, then aren't you at least a little scared?
My choice would be Hellraiser III, though that was unintentionally unscary.

6. I actually love that movie
I thought it had a good crepy atmosphere and I loved the scene at the end. Always considered it to be quite underrated.

16. I suppose you're right
More creepy than anything else I guess. Which is actually something a lot of horror movies are missing these days, some sort of overall, unsettling creepiness.

7. The Grudge maybe?
Edited on Tue May-10-05 10:06 AM by primate1
Or The Others...I was bored witless with both (though at least The Others had a plot).

9. I swear I could not sleep for a week after watching "The Grudge"...
I was kind of really scared by it. :hi: I think it was the premise...and the stressful situations.

10. Haha, I got about halfway through...
Edited on Tue May-10-05 10:12 AM by primate1
Then I stopped and thought to myself, "wait, does this movie even have a plot?" I came to the conclusion that it didn't (at least not one I could discern) and shut it off. My roommate's friend was terrified by it too though.

The Killer Shrews
The Creeping Terror

I could go on but I'd only be revealing my bad taste in films.

21. You're getting confused.
First, it's raindrop on roses; and secondly, that's from "The Sound of Music" not "Mary Poppins".

Mary Poppins is 'a spoon full of sugar helps the medicine go down'.
