During the 80's it was banned in the UK. A friend at my dads work work got a VHS copy. Me and a friend (who was sleeping over) watched it, it was very scary. I couldn't sleep and shivered. This is the only movie I can think of that has done this.
Did this movie scare you or have any movies actually scared you with a real state of fear?
Did the Exorcist scare you when it came out?

I didn't watch the Exorcist until I was much older and had already seen clips and heard all about the scary parts of the film and its various memorable quotes. Because of that, it wasn't particularly scary when I finally saw it, but it was certainly suspenseful and well crafted. I appreciated that.
One movie that did scare me when I first saw it was Poltergeist. And it would scare me each time I saw it, too, for a number of years. Every time I watched it, I would be unable to be comfortable in front of a mirror for days, and would worry about what I'd see out my bedroom window, or seeing stuffed animals looking down on me, or what was in the closet or under my bed. Heck, even television static became worrisome.
More recently, the North American remake of The Ring scared me. It's one of the only horror movies I've watched in the theatre.

I have, and I enjoyed it very much. The two versions are scary in their own ways--the North American one for being such a well crafted thriller, and the Japanese one for being so damned "unnatural" in its creepiness.Noir201 wrote...

I recently watched a few Takashi Miike films: Audition, and One Missed Call (and its sequel).
One Missed Call is super creepy. There was a North America remake but it was apparently very bad. Anyhoo, it's about a group of friends who start receiving voice mail on their cell phones (hence the title). When the play the voice mail, it's from themselves and is dated some time in the near future, and it's nothing but their own death screams. Mysteries abound.
The sequel is a little more self-referential and takes the mythos a step further. The same things start happening with a different group of people, only this time, it's all over the news and becomes a media phenomenon, so much so that a television studio wants to see what's causing the deaths live and on camera. They convince one of the girls who's received one of these messages to come to the studio and be broadcast live.
Audition is more of a thriller than a horror, and the entire film is a build-up for the last 15 minutes of awesomeness. A widower decides it's time to start dating again. He and his friend, both working at a television station, decide to use an upcoming project as an excuse to "audition" potential partners for the guy. He meets a wonderful girl and they start seeing each other, but strange things start happening and he finds that she may not be all that she says she is.
