What movie scared you multiple times or wish you could each again for the first time?

I love horror, I have been a large fan of horror since I was five. To some that would seem too young to start horror but it was one thing I was a huge fan over the course of my life, well that among other things. I grew up on classics for movies; Halloween, Friday the 13th, Nightmare on Elm St, Jaws, Carrie, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Scream, Alien, AVP, Canydman, Final Destination. And that’s just to start.

I have been trying to scour everywhere for movies that are wicked twisty, jump scary or all around a horror movie that stuck with the audience that watched it that have come out from the early 2000s until now.

What is a movie that stuck with you, you never forgot, wish you could rewatch again for the first time or a movie that was really jump scary?

Edit: I meant to put watch in the title, I can’t change it now so please just bear with me and try to ignore that error.

Paranormal Activity.

I love those movies. Well, the first 3. They actually made me get that spooked, scared feeling as an adult while watching.

NothingCivil6358

I like the first six, minus the spin-off.

I broke my foot about ten years ago, so I was at my moms a lot because I couldn’t work for a while anyway. My schedule was generally being off of work around 1-2 am so I was quite the night owl. After watching the first paranormal activity alone on my laptop in the middle of the night, I was freaked out. So I said screw it im already scared, let’s go to the next one 😂

rosy_moxx

I think the second one is my favorite. The last 30 minutes is terrifying.

The Thing

cccheel34

Hereditary.

Sinister.

I love that fucking movie. It actually scared me.

Schackadoo

That’s one of the better ones I’ve seen recently. I was wary cause found footage movies can go real bad real quick haha.

manymade1

The Conjuring, Sinister and Smile are my top 3.

forever_a10ne

I went into The Conjuring blind because my mom wanted to see a horror movie with me in theaters. I agreed and howl low expectations because I’m not big on possession movies. I was really caught off guard by how scary it was.

Sinister 2012

Mayuguru

Same here. Saw it in theaters too. I wish I could feel that dread again.

koolkatjadexxo

Ikr sameee first I saw it was on the theaters too

Ok_Figure6736

I watched it like 3 years ago and forgot most of it. Time to rewatch I guess :)

bastard son of 100 maniacs

Darkness Falls is the king of all jump scares that will get me every time.

DefNotMrCameron

Terrified

Nysnorlax

Smile was pretty creepy, would be good to watch it again for the first time

throwRAinspiration

Such a great movie

Princess-RhYmE

The Wicker Man (1973)

I’ve never recovered and when I rewatch it, I still get that stomach-churning, uncomfortable feeling. I can only watch it once a year, as it’s one of those movies that sticks with me for days. Psychological horror scares me more than blood and guts.

ClutchReverie

100% on psychological horror

SubstantialHurry884

the wicker statue itself scares the shit out of me

Schackadoo

Guessing the remakes not great? Never saw it, just googled it to see if I can stream it and saw there was a remake.

Princess-RhYmE

I don’t mess with perfection, in terms of some original movies. I won’t watch the remake. I consider it a classic, as is.

Schackadoo

Fair enough. Wasn’t really planning on watching the remake but was curious.

Princess-RhYmE

I do watch remakes of other movies (some of which are amazing!), but just not this one. I love it too much. :)

Schackadoo

Oh ya. Not saying I won’t watch remakes but I for sure would like to start with the original anyway.

DogsDontWearPantss

Terrified (2018) AMC+/Hoopla

GmaCake

The Shining (especially the bathroom scene)

The_WinstonWolfe84

Also that weird guy in an animal suit scene. So unsettling, and you really don't know what's happening.

GmaCake

I know the whole movie is creepy, I used to work in a hotel that had a hallway similar to the one the twins were standing in, i hated working the night shift there

AikenRhetWrites

I'd give almost anything to see A Tale of Two Sisters again for the first time. That scene with

SteMelMan

Original Hell House LLC still scares me every time I watch it. I tried the Director's Cut and somehow it loses all the tension of the original.

Affectionate-Luck498

The Strangers. Because I, too, was just “home”

cuntcake669

Gonjiam Haunted Asylum

MovieDogg

The Prowler and Texas Chainsaw Massacre (original)

Artistic_Half_8301

Ending of F13 #1 gets me every damn time AND I know it's coming!

CrispyHoneyBeef

81 or 09?

Artistic_Half_8301

CrispyHoneyBeef

The final girl switcheroo was quite a shock

Artistic_Half_8301

Jason coming out of lake, Alice in canoe. 1981. The first one. The original, the OG.

Serpentine32

One year shy of the millennium, but Audition (1999) - my power went out in the middle of it and stayed out for an hour or so. I'm not easily scared in real life when I watch movies but I was on edge to say the least!

As others have said here, Sinister (2012), plus maybe The Strangers (2008), and As Above, So Below (2014) and Us (2019)

PrisonM1K3

The vent shaft scene in Alien (1979), where Dallas get's got by the Alien, scarred the F**k out of me when I first watched it. I was about 8 or 9 years old back then, and I had to pause to movie for a good hour before watching the rest.

Then there's the escape to the Narcissus that's probably one of the tensest scene of the whole movie. Alien has since become one of my favorite movies of all time.

HOST 2020

WoedicaWinsWarframe

Sinister, The Conjuring, and The Grudge. There's others too, just can't summon titles rn.

**Edit: Autopsy of Jane Doe!! Was as terrifying the second watch as the first.

BooyaMoonBabyluv

Autopsy of Jane Doe is so underrated imo, such a great plot

StarWolf478

Smile and Sinister are the only two movies that have managed to scare me since becoming an adult.

marisa_maria

The strangers or paranormal activity at midnight nothing will top those and still my favorite scary movies

TheNocturnalAngel

I wish I could see the It follows hallways scene again for the first time.

It scared me so bad I paused and sobbed for a few minutes lol.

The_WinstonWolfe84

That whole movie is incredibly unsettling. Especially when seeing it for the first time. A modern classic no doubt..

Gullible_Metal8748

Definitely Sinister.

Mayuguru

I'm glad to see so many people answer the same.

tovlaila

Not necessarily scary but 100% uncomfortable, anxious, almost like panic attack anxiety prior to one starting, the movie would be Dark Skies.

shellbell7296

Sinister!

Right_Extension6513

Terrifier, only the first one. That shit had me jumpy for weeks and I haven’t felt that way since I was 3 and my cousins showed me nightmare on elm street! Sinister is also a good one

Ok so I went into watch Nope blind without knowing anything and at a drive in- it was pretty good considering being in a car enhanced the experience

Kittenlover_87

Poltergeist

SaltGood5127

The conjuring and the grudge. Both stayed with me for WEEKS.

Rico802

Jaws. When I was a kid I wouldn’t go near a beach lmao .

fadefairy

insidious!! will never forget seeing it in theaters and being absolutely terrified

Mayuguru

Sinister

The_WinstonWolfe84

Halloween scared the hell out of me when I was about 12 or 13. I grew up in a small little town, and I saw the movie for the first time when my parents were gone, and I was all alone. I was literally terrified. I remember looking outside toward the yard, and praying that no one would be there. I actually found out that my dad saw it in the theater in 78' and that he went home afterward and checked all of his closets. So maybe it's some ancestral fear passed on from my dad.

Born_Yard2243

Sinister and The Conjuring (the first one)

MndyRd

The Banshee Chapter (2017). Everything in that movie affected every part of me.

Shoddy_Newspaper_718

Jeepers Creepers. Mainly for the lair scene and to forget that the director is a monster.

violafairy

Silence of the Lambs got me really good as a teenager. I love rewatching it (and do so often!) but nothing beats that first time!

HorrorKablamDude

Type to create flair

The Dark and the Wicked.

I grew up in Texas and my grandparents had a farm very similar. I hated going to it.

My dad is also sick and things aren't looking so good so there were a lot of things I personally related to. Right now I'm doing the whole uncomfortable discussions with the estranged siblings thing.

It was just a feeling of complete hopelessness and anxiety throughout the entire movie.

The idea that something evil and not of this Earth is slowly coming after you despite you not doing anything to warrant it and there's nothing you can do about it is beyond petrifying. You've been chosen and marked and that's the end of it.
