    Hands down The Mist. The first one, not the second. That ending really stunned me. Left me numb for a few hours.

      As far as nuclear war movies go, mine is Testament. The film is like 40 years years old and I've only seen it a total of 6 times. First time I saw it, I was numb for days and to this day still does when I do watch it.. The little boy dying was just too much. Nuclear war is scary, but being a survivor of it is even scarier.

            I've seen the blob when it was first run, but never realized it stared Steve McQueen.

              So, I'm not really a big fan of scary movies, but I'm actually the lead character in one...sort of.

              "Ghosthouse" (1988)



              First be warned, it's a slasher movie in which most everyone ends up dead.

              The movie starts off as sort of a mystery with a ham radio theme...the lead character is using his ham radio set and hears someone calling for help. His callsign is K1UR...which in the real world is me:

              The way this happened is that the movie producers were looking for props and contacted my radio club. Several of us obliged by loaning equipment. Several of the radios you see are mine and the little wooden sign you see in the middle of the photo currently sits on a shelf right above where I'm now sitting.

                An unforgettable experience as a 12-year-old boy, watching The Night Of The Living Dead in 1968 as part of a Saturday afternoon children's matinee at the now gone Garfield Theater in Indianapolis. As the movie progressed, my friends and I were slack-jawed, stunned by the gore -- and quite thrilled to be watching George Romero's milestone zombie horror film. Half the audience of younger children cried and hid their eyes. A few months later, Reader's Digest published an expose of sorts criticizing the choice of including the film in the nationally distributed children's matinee movie package purchased by theaters across the USA. And not long after that, the MPAA movie rating system came into being. Note that originally there was the "M" rating - for Mature Audiences, that morphed eventually into the PG-13 rating used today. But the MPAA rating system has its critics, too. As director Roman Polanski once said so eloquently: "If I make a movie that shows a man kissing a woman's breast, it gets an X rating. If I show a maniac chopping off a woman's breast with an ax, it gets an R rating." In those days, late 60s, early 70s, most theater chains would never ever book X-rated films, Midnight Cowboy about the only exception that I can remember. The movie rating system reflects America's culture, you think?

                  The Hellraiser movies, well the first three anyway, were quite scary and gory.

                  Creepy rather than scary is an old UK indie movie called Paperhouse. Not gory but many moments that make you jump out your skin. Also has a slight railway connection with a scene filmed on the West Somerset Railway.

                    "The Shining", John Carpenter's "The Thing", and anything by Jordan Peele.
