I have never subscribed to the theory that one should pay perfectly good money to be frightened out of one's wits and neither do I buy in to the other theory that it's thrilling to be scared / shocked / creeped-out by scary flicks. However, I got
Ghostbusters
Ah, an oldie but goodie. Mind you, I was a tot just around 2 - 3 when I first watched it and very believing of ghosties and shadows lurking under my bed at that point of time. The thing about me is that once I get scared, I don't sleep for fear of nightmares. So there I was, poor little me, afraid of the dark and whatever lurked around my bed, desperately wishing I'd never watched it. Oh, and to make matters worse, my Dad had a casette tape of Ghostbusters theme music which he tended to play at night, adding to the suspense just before bedtime. I think it was a week or two before I dared to sleep again. *grin*
Jaws
This one again, I watched when I was small. Slightly older, but with a vivid imagination, I was convinced that the shark could get me even though I was no where near the sea. There went all my beach holiday fun until I reached teenhood. But nowadays, I like watching scary creature movies (especially those B-grade flicks cause they're so corny and cliched).
Enough of the past... let's talk more recent movies. Oh wait. I don't watch any scary movies to make the list but I did watch...
The Village
The suspense in the beginning was just killing me (like the part where the kids were playing a 'dangerous' game of chicken beyond the fence) cos' I never knew when the creatures would strike. But all was made clear in the end, so it wasn't that scary after all. LOL!
Now, let me hear these guys scream

Thanks for tagging me. Will definitely do this one. I watch horror movies bcoz real life 'encounters' r normally not that dramatic. In real life where got a whole town swamped by the walking dead! :P

I refuse to pay to get scared!
*meowww*
chup first har...
u shud tag me this instead of those u tagged me b4! i love this tag!!! :P
I scare myself! LOL!!! The worst bit, is when you've just finished watching a really scary movie all alone in the house, late at night, and you start imagining things.. like was that a shadow standing at the foot of your bed, or is that another shadow lurking right outside your bedroom window, or.... is the ceiling suddenly a lot darker at the corner, and is that someone's long black head of hair?
Ghostbusters? LOL! that's my favourite "scary" movie!
I'm too chicken shit to watch scary movies by myself. but guess what? the new up-coming movie, 1408, had such an intriguing trailer that I'm gonna watch it anyway... I hope I won't pee in my panties!
Come la, we hold hands and watch scary movies together while eating popcorn and donuts..
Ghostbusters was not scary la... it was cute. I loved the cartoons before watching the movie, and I was too busy spotting the cartoon characters to be scared :)
Ghostbusters where got scary? Hehehehe. Jaws and Village definitely on the list. The Ring not scary meh? I scared to death leh.

l b: Actually the movies themselves aren't that scary, but it's what my imagination comes up with later! *looks over shoulder at the shadows*
may: I'm sure Ghostbusters is no longer scary for me now, but it was way back then! *prepares fresh teh-kors for may just in case*
giddy tigress: Ooo... I'd rather hide behind you. May I? *grin*
