Jaws made me jump a few times.

I watch so many Horror/Supernatural films difficult to say but The Conjuring springs to mind as a jumpy film. I had no idea what it was about except the title.

Psycho without a doubt.

The only time i can really recall the hairs on the back of my neck standing on end, when watching a horror film, was the scene in The Exorcist when the 'entity' within Regan took on the persona of the priest's mother. That one line - "Dimi, Dimi. Why you do this to me, Dimi?" - still sends a shiver down my spine.

Well scary has many facets. Most of the scaryest films are not horror films at all. Films like Hostel that are scary when you realise the depths of human depravity. The traditionail "scary" films don't scare me at all. The Shinning was Scary but in my opinion not a horror film. Phsyco just not scary at all and very predictable. I found "Rope" scary for the same reasons as Hostel. Not fighteninly scary but the realisation that humans like that are among us, that's what is really scary.

I am such a scaredy cat, hiding behind cushions. So most horror films scare me. I wouldn't dream of watching Saw!! Even Midnight Express scared the hell out of me.

I like horror, but anything to do with dolls I hate

Carrie has always made me jump, the bit at the end where the hand comes out of the grave.  Exorcist was good when it first came to this country but when I have seen it since it seems shorter with bits missing.

Yes it is a bit subjective as to whats scary, the thought of sitting through Barbie terrifies me. ohhh shivers down my spine.

I'm a certified, card-carrying coward when it come to scary films so I've not seen any of the aforementioned but I do recall seeing Don't Look Now and finding it very weirdly creepy.  The last scene of The Wicker Man, the original version, was also a two cushion job for me.

Horror films just bore me, I find them too ridiculous to be scary.
However, I went to the cinema with a friend of mine to see The Exorsist all those years ago when it was first released and was complete scared witless. 

Horror films in general don't scare me, especially when they involve ghosts and scary monsters etc.  But I remember as a child being scared by Quatermass in the 50s.  I do hide behind cushions in scarey plausible movies when you realise something awful is going to happen and its believable. 

Mary Poppins had me cringing.

😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩

Not convinced it was supposed to be a horror, but Arachnophobia scared the hell out of me. I still lift the toilet seat each time before using it to check for spiders since that film came out. I should have had therapy after that movie. And this is me, quite happy to sit down and watch Hostel, Saw etc by myself

As an adult,  I don't watch scary films but as a child, I remember being very frightened by parts of The Wizard of Oz.

The Texas chainsaw masacare 

Wolf creek

The hills have eyes

The 1948 film Great expectations, the opening

scene at the graveyard when Magwitch appears,

I was young but the entire cinema audienced 

gasped.

Aybeecee: "Not convinced it was supposed to be a horror, but Arachnophobia scared the hell out of me. I" - you wanna see Anoraknaphobia, that's terrifying, all about trainspotters.

I avoid horror films on the principle that I do not want to experience fear, dread, emotional distress, and atrocities.
