What's/are the scariest movie(s) that you watched?

When I was about 8 or 9 years old I saw some "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" movie on TV while my parents were at the opera. When Jekyll changed into Hyde inadvertently for the first time it scared the bejesus out of me.

^If you watched Get Out you may change your mind about horror movies nowadays.

First time i watched Riders of the Lost Arc it scared me quite alot, and that is not a horror movie. But it contains some real scary moments both at the start in the cave and also in the end in the other cave when the Nazis melted.

One final scary memory...

V sci-fi series was exciting and sometimes creepy for me when I was a small child. I cannot forget a moment when I was extremely frightened and appalled. The lady called Diana was in human shape and rubbing her eyes in a room. Then the door was suddenly knocked, as far as I remember and she withdrew her hands from over her eyes and the image of a human with reptilian eyes flashed and that was really too much for me. That is also because I was used to seeing Diana as a beautiful woman or an alien creature. The mix of them was unexpected and shocking. I always find human-like creatures more horrifying. I just find creatures like Cthulhu as "dangerous" and all. They never cause real affrightment for me.

The most traumatised I've ever been by a film was watching the Battle of Britain at the cinema when I was six. There's a scene where one of the Luftwaffe bomber crew gets his eyes shot out that completely terrified me, so much so that for many years I was unable to watch the scene whenever the film got one of its regular outings on TV. I can just about cope with it now!

Anything that revolves around porcelain dolls, Seed of Chucky

Oh and... Michael Myers... I cannot say that Halloween series had a huge impact on me... But I can easily say that Michael Myers was horror incarnate for me. Like Kobe Bryant scored 81 points in a match... Mike Myers has always been that Kobe for me in the movies. One man team (film).

I was pretty scared by one of the A Nightmare on Elm Street movies too. I was very small and it was really a scary experience. I cannot remember which one was that, I remember a scene that Freddy turns into many spiders and a girl was stepping on them etc.

Actually the only movie that disturbed my mental state in my 30s was Martyrs, a French movie. I cannot categorize it as "horror", but it was really disturbing and impactful.

Hellraiser series is great, especially the first 2 movies. But I see them more as fantasy than horror.
