What Was The Most Weird Creepiest Movie You Have Seen

[Parche]

[rug]

1. The Tingler.

Spines from dead people kill live people.

[BrklynLiberal]

53. and there rumors that the seats in the theaters were wired so the people would feel the "tingle"

Vincent Price made the scariest movies back in the day when scary did not mean gory..

[schmuls]

73. Yes, that's right. I saw the Tingler in a movie theater in Kenosha

Wisconsin and some of the seats were rigged to vibrate, i.e., "give an electric shock". Then, a big giant shadow of the tingler went across the screen, a man interrupted the movie and said that the tingler was loose in the audience! I was scared shitless and kept searching the floor because I was sure the tingler was going to get me!

[schmuls]

74. I still think the original version of Dracula, a silent movie

entitled "Nosferatu" is chilling because of the vampire. He has long, radish-looking fingers and is incredibly creepy. Our local theater showed it last year at Halloween, and this group that rings chimes accompanied it. The sound was extremely chilling and fit the movie exactly.

[BrklynLiberal]

87. Back then movies did have to be gory to be scary....in fact I think they were more scary

because they used the viewer's imagination to make things scarier than they would have been otherwise.

[dawgmom]

2. The Sound of Music

That scene at the end, where the kids hack Julie Andrews to death and then dance around, using her head as a soccer ball? Still gives me nightmares.

[DarkTirade]

3. You sat through the whole movie... and THAT'S the scene that gave you nightmares?

Weird.

[dawgmom]

7. The cannibalism scene from Old Yeller always gets me, too

Does that make me strange?

[Parche]

11. It Gets A Little Ruff

:hi:

[dawgmom]

36. Ruff day...my brain is fried...no puns in me today

But I couldn't resist being a smart-aleck in your thread. :)

[DarkTirade]

51. This isn't a pun thread. I think you're barking up the wrong tree here.

:P

[Fenris]

4. David Cronenberg's "Shivers"

Sex zombies. How fucked up is that? It's pure post-sexual revolution anxiety. Awesome film but creepy as fuck.

[AlCzervik]

5. Dead Ringers was pretty creepy.

[Mad_Dem_X]

71. Oh my God, yes.

That movie is one of the reasons why I would never go to a male gynecologist!

[MrCoffee]

6. Easy. This one.

[Greyskye]

8. Yep. I was surprised that it hadn't been mentioned yet.

[Kali]

58. that would be my choice, too

[dawgmom]

9. To be serious for a moment -- "Kinsey"

I know it's not a horror film, which is probably what you wanted -- but there is a scene in it with a pedophile -- an interview with him -- that is so creepy and repulsive I wish I could wipe it permanently from my memory. I know that was the Director's intent, and I applaud Kinsey's groundbreaking work in general. That scene, however, was just so....ICK!

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

20. Yeah, didn't care for that scene.

Basically, that character was a composite of all the unusual subjects analyzed by Kinsey's work.

The movie spent a great deal going over how the public and Kinsey's publishers cheated people who had non-conventional sex habits out of that third study Kinsey wanted to publish; yet the movie just lumps all those people into one big child-molesting pervert.

[ghostsofgiants]

10. Probably Begotten.

The ful film:

[trof]

12. The Return of Doctor X

Yes, that's Humphrey Bogart as Doctor X.

With his pet rabbit.

[Parche]

16. That Does Look Creepy!!

:hi:

[Rancid Crabtree]

13. The President's Analyst

James Coburn in a comedic role...creepy...said to my buddy, oh shit, the phone companies following us, let's all walk a little faster...and Joan Delaney offered the prophetic words, 'you should have been a plumber'...this long before Joe, before Watergate...been looking over my shoulder ever since.

[jobycom]

14. O Lucky Man.

Weird, even for an allegory.

[ceile]

15. "Audition"

Still gives me chills.....
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0235198/

[Lydia Leftcoast]

64. One of the fiew movies I couldn't stand to watch to the end

and it's Japanese.

It was on the Sundance channel, and what started out as just a moderately weird and cryptic Japanese movie went REAL twisted when they were writhing around on the floor and then the razor blades appeared. :scared:

I had to turn it off.

[ceile]

91. The ending's the best part!

It's one of those movies I don't know if I could watch again....

[enigmatic]

108. That's my pick, too

Wow.

[Jamastiene]

17. Mondo Bizarro

Hands down. That was one freaky ass movie.

[crim son]

18. Eraserhead.

I think. I was tripping when I saw it, so I'm not positive. :P

[ghostsofgiants]

30. It's definitely weird and creepy.

As are most of Lynch's films, haha.

[crim son]

38. Yabbut

also kinda tasty. :D

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

19. Prince of Darkness, Eraserhead, Dead Ringers.

All totally creepy, in different ways.

[MsKandice01]

21. Jacob's Ladder...

What a traumatizing experience for a 14-year-old. The mental hospital scene. Oh my goodness.

[Canuckistanian]

25. I've always wanted to see that

But people who've seen it always say one of two things -

1.) "Creepiest movie I've ever seen"

OR

2.) "What a waste of time"

I've always wanted to find out.

[ghostsofgiants]

29. It's a really great film.

Anyone who calls it a waste of time is a moron.

[lazyriver]

70. Find out. I guarantee you it won't be a waste of time.

[Danger Mouse]

34. Big inspiration for Silent Hill. Amazingly creepy movie.

[SeattleGirl]

43. Great movie. A creepy-weird one, but a great one.

I remember walking home after seeing it, and thinking WTF?

Still think about that movie now and then.

[applegrove]

22. Apartment zero. That was a real shocker to me. I'm not usually surprised by

movie's endings. That one floored me.

[ceile]

24. Sounds familiar.

Who's in that?

[applegrove]

31. Colin Firth. About a man with his roomate. He watches lots of movies

and shares an apartment with a really good looking guy (I cannot remember the actor's name). Takes place in Argentina.

[schmuls]

88. I believe the actor's name is Hart Bochner (or thereabout)

[applegrove]

95. Yup.

[Canuckistanian]

23. Night of the Iguana

The one with Donald Sutherland.

[Aristus]

26. "Wild At Heart".

Man, I was WEEKS getting over that film! :scared:

[harmonicon]

27. eraser head

Yeah, I know that some people think it's just silly, but ever since I first watched it, I've never been able to watched it again. It didn't so much scare me as make my skin crawl and make me want to throw up.

[kedrys]

46. i saw it in college nine million years ago

I've purged it from my memory, except the fact of having seen it. I have no desire to ever see it again.

[Taverner]

28. Serpent and the Rainbow

I am deathly afraid of being buried alive

[nomorenomore08]

32. Looks like "Eraserhead" wins so far. That was gonna be my choice, too.

But "Dead Ringers," "Shivers," "Audition," and "Jacob's Ladder" aren't far behind, although I'd say the latter is more nightmarishly frightening than skin-crawlingly creepy, and "Audition" is a little (or a lot) of both. Another one I'd add to the list would be "Santa Sangre" - one hell of a fucked-up flick.

Some supposedly very creepy films I haven't seen (but am interested in) would include:

"Repulsion"
"Men Behind the Sun"
"In A Glass Cage"
"Possession" (not the Gwyneth Paltrow one)

Anybody seen any of these four?

[darkstar]

50. I've seen Repulsion and Possession

I actually love both of them. Repulsion, which I just watched on DVD from netflix a couple of weeks back for the 4th or 5th time, is a study in restraint and pacing.

Zulwalski's Possession with Isabelle Adjani and Sam Neil? A supreme slice of Euro art-house horror trash. Genre defying and I love it. A bit pretentious now that I'm a tad older, but I find it harrowing and mesmerizing. If you are interested in the horrors of psychological decline into psychosis from auteur-type directors, I'd recommend both highly.

[nomorenomore08]

56. Well, I really enjoyed "The Tenant," which is a later Polanski flick along kind of similar lines.

So yeah, I'll definitely check out both.

[cemaphonic]

59. Yeah, definitely watch Repulsion.

"The Tenant" is kind of the wacky, self-parody version of "Repulsion." There's a lot that I love about "The Tenant" (despite the healthy dose of brain bleach needed after viewing it) but "Repulsion" is superior in just about every way. (although "The Tenant" *is* funnier.)

[IndianaJones]

33. Sex in the City. nt.

[Danger Mouse]

35. "The Thing" and "Jacob's Ladder"

major scary mindfucks.

[City of Mills]

37. Killer Klowns from Outer Space

Definitely up there on my list.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0095444/

[Throckmorton]

52. The greatest Clown of Death movie EVER!!!

Now, where is my Pooh Bear?

[eyepaddle]

109. I'm with you,

there was just something so wrong about that movie.

Of couorse, a lot of the other movies mentioned here I haven't seen, so I can't comment. Eraserhead was pretty creepy too.

[deucemagnet]

39. On edit: I'm changing my vote to Salo, 120 Days of Sodom.

My original selection, The Reflecting Skin, is a Disney movie compared to Salo. :scared:

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0073650/

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0100469/

[electricmonk]

61. Salo would be my choice too.

I don't see how the actors that played the victims in that movie came out of it without some PTSD. What they were asked to do in that movie had to mess with their heads some.

[petronius]

65. I'll second (or third) that one. It's been long enough since I saw it that I've largely

forgotten the details (which I'm counting as a good thing...)

[baldguy]

40. Blue Velvet

[Spirochete]

41. Naked Lunch

by David Cronenberg

Although David Lynch's Inland Empire was pretty creepy too

[ceile]

42. Spanish Prisoner

Not creepy. But the twists.....love it!

[Release The Hounds]

44. Event Horizon

[femmocrat]

45. Angel Heart.

I think that was the name... with Mickey Rourke and Lisa Bonet.

Disturbing.

[BrklynLiberal]

54. Yes. that was very disturbing...and may have been Mickey Rourke's best performance.

[kedrys]

47. Got it on DVD

One of my all-time favorites.

[erinlough]

48. Clockwork Orange and Catch 22 still bother me.

[pokerfan]

49. Showgirls (1995) n/t

[XemaSab]

55. This might be a cheesy choice, but "The Ring"

but that film set up things inside my brain that I would prefer to not have there. :scared:

[grannylib]

57. "Siesta" with Ellen Barkin, I think it was...VERY odd movie, not even

sure what the hell it was about, or if there were a plot, or what...
Just plain weird.

[mitchum]

98. That movie was a mess, but the score was fantastic

[Forkboy]

106. And it had Alexei Sayle in it.

One of my favorite comedians.

[Tabasco_Dave]

60. Videodrome

That movie is just too weird. :crazy:

[Initech]

62. Pi

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0138704/

[Lucian]

63. It.

Pennywise scared the shit out of me when I was a kid.

[Lydia Leftcoast]

66. Oldboy (Korean movie from a few years back)

Was there a creepy thing that WASN'T in that movie?

An inexplicably cruel and prolonged experience followed by an insane revenge, with a little twisted sex thrown in.

[ceile]

93. Just saw that recently.

Wow. Really good. Right now I have "Lady Vengence" the last of the triology.

[Wetzelbill]

67. The Grudge and also there were some scenes in John Carpenter's The Thing

that were pretty effed up.

[Lady-Damai]

68. Ichi the Killer (Tadanobu Asano YUMMMY)

My favorite part is when Kakihara slices off part of his tongue and offers it to the yakuza boss he offended. The reason because his tongue is where he gets the most pleasure from......

It was wickedly funny.

[BlueIris]

69. "Closetland." Low-grade Alan Rickman psychodrama from the mid-'90s.

Scary. Misogynist. And just BAD.

[JCMach1]

72. "The Ring" creeped me out

and I don't creep easily...

[noonwitch]

76. I had weird dreams after watching that one

It didn't scare me while watching it, though. I kept dreaming about that damned lighthouse and that freaky girl coming out of the well.

[City of Mills]

75. The Stand

Don Imus as the antichrist! :scared:

[Burma Jones]

77. Maybe it was the mood I was in when I saw it, but:

[mikeytherat]

78. "Bloodsucking Freaks" - not at all scary, just lame, lame, lame.

mikey_the_rat

[cyberswede]

79. The Terror with Jack Nicholson and Boris Karloff!

I was probably 9 or 10 the first time I saw it - very creepy!!

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0057569/

[meegbear]

80. CopyCat ...

creeped me out

[FloridaJudy]

81. Creepiest had to be "The Cook, the Thief, his Wife and Her Lover"

I walked out half-way through because it was so disturbing. I'm told it got much, much worse. Helen Mirren gets my Intestinal Fortitude award for copulating on a bed of maggot-ridden meat.

Weirdest had to be strange little science fiction movie by Richard Lester called "The Bed Sitting Room". To quote IMDb:

Set in post-nuclear-holocaust England, where a handful of bizarre characters struggle on with their lives in the ruins, amongst endless heaps of ash, piles of broken crockery and brick, muddy plains, and heaps of dentures and old boots. Patriotically singing "God Save Mrs. Etheyl Shroake, Long Live Mrs. Etheyl Shroake", they wander through this surrealistic landscape, forever being warned by the police to "keep moving", and prone to the occasional mutation into a parrot, cupboard, or even, yes, a bed sitting room with "No Wogs" scrawled in the grime on it's windows.

Most memorable scene: a minister citing "The Good Book" reads a passage from Lady Chatterley's Lover. And it got even more bizarre after that. It's been almost forty years since I've seen it, and I don't think there's been a movie made since to top it in for Weird.

eta: I found The Bed Sitting Room on Google video: http://video.google.com/videosearch?source=ig&hl=en&rlz=&q=the+bed+sitting+room&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=X&oi=video_result_group&resnum=4&ct=title#
mind altering substance use is optional.

[BlueIris]

90. But, but Peter Greenway rules!!

I love his equally twisted "The Draughtsman's Contract." It rocks.

[Swede]

82. The Mothman and the Blair Witch Project.

They really creeped me out.

[raccoon]

83. SHOCK WAVES (1977), a little known movie, totally creeped me out.

Also BLAIR WITCH PROJECT.

[kentauros]

84. Riget (aka, The Kingdom)

I only saw it on IFC and need to rewatch it uninterrupted. Still, it was weird and quite creepy in places, and funny in others ;) Riget

Truly creepy was the original version of The Haunting. I'm gonna have to get that one out for Halloween again }(

[bigwillq]

85. Hostel

I love horror movies but that one was just way too much.

I do like the Saw movies, though. Kind of the same topic but Hostel just bugged me out. :scared:

[SydneyBristow]

86. Donnie Darko

I never look at bunnies the same way....

Syd

[unpossibles]

89. "Strange Circus" or "Tideland"

both are visually beautiful and both have scenes which made me wonder if I could keep watching.

Santa Sangre is also a gem.

[Ohio Joe]

92. Night of the Hunter

freakin movie gave me nightmares for years.

[Sabriel]

94. Save the Green Planet

Korean weirdness galore

[Forkboy]

96. Forget Eraserhead. Tetsuo:The Iron Man makes it look like a Disney movie.

Some other great weird ones...
The Saddest Music In The World
Gummo
Clean Shaven

[Sequoia]

97. "The Ring"

Boy, when that muddy girl walked out of the TV set I my heart just jumped out of my chest. I was so not expecting that. That's the most recent creepy. "The Fly", with David Headison where the spider got him creeped me out for weeks as a kid.

[mitchum]

99. Ilsa, She Wolf of the SS...nazi chic softcore porn

[Montauk6]

100. California Reich

When they wheel out that Nazi flag cake... you really feel like weeping for your country. (Do documentaries count?)

[NewJeffCT]

101. I've seen a lot of movies on this list, but this was the one I found most disturbing

[Left Is Write]

102. I don't know. Maybe "The Reincarnation Of Peter Proud"

"House of Wax" is pretty creepy too.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

103. A little low budget movie from the 1960s entitled Blood Feast

I saw it at a drive-in theater for Halloween when I was in my teens. It was supposedly the first splatter film ever made. It's about a guy who has a catering service and who also worships some Egyptian goddess who must be honored through human sacrifices. The caterer lures young girls into his shop, kills them, and then prepares their raw body parts to be eaten. There's almost no story, but plenty of blood and body parts throughout the film to the point of being truly disgusting and disturbing. They obviously used intestines, hearts, lungs, eyes, etc. from a butcher shop. The film was so cheaply made that it has an amateurish quality that almost makes it look like someone's home movie, giving it a very creepy and real life aspect.

[GoneOffShore]

104. The Comfort of Strangers

With Christopher Walken.

Convinced me never to go to Venice.

[LeftyMom]

105. Jesus Camp

:scared:

[Adsos Letter]

107. The one where Jack Nicholson played a retired detective...

who promised a mother that he would find the killer of her child. Was it called "The Promise?"

[MountainLaurel]

113. i think that was it n/t

[sarge43]

110. Se7en, Angel Heart and Dead Ringers

Blood Simple as runner up for most creepy.

Weird: Just about any MST3K selection.

[Juche]

111. 'sick' and 'visitor q'

Both are pretty messed up but Sick was even worse. I had to quit halfway through it. Visitor Q was funny in a weird way because it addressed about every taboo out there.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120126/

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0290329/

[tbredbeck]

112. I Spit on Your Grave

Maybe that movie is just too screwed up to count, but it seriously left a nasty feeling in my stomach for days.

[Lyric]

114. Hellraiser and Hellraiser II

Gave me nightmares for a week as a kid, after a Halloween scary-movie-rental night.
