Death Ship! Scariest movie cause it was soo poorly filmed. I knew that as a kid. Low budget ambiance made it more authentic?... Also filmed on Lake Ontario i think. Oh and Children of the Corn.the stuff of sleepover screams along with CHUD. Currently, best horror/fantasy/thriller I've seen is The Lighthouse.

Hey Em! Thanks for sharing. Had not thought of Death Ship in ages

omg... the lighthouse was frightening! Aside from Texas Chainsaw, the film "Hereditary" was the best horror flick i've seen personally.

Seeing Blair Witch Project in the cinema was an intense experience. People left the movie house for reasons including motion sickness and terror.

HA! For real (local) thrills, go with Jesus Christ Vampire Hunters! ... Um I took my kids to Blair Witch. Not my brightest parenting moment ...
