What's the scariest movie you've ever seen?

Mine has to be Pet Cemetery. It makes you really think, especially if you have lost a loved one.

Talking of Spanish films, what about the bit in Pan's Labyrinth when the girl goes into the room where the food is spread out on the table and eats something against the advice of the fairies Yikes

Oh I love Pan's Labyrinth. XD The Orphanage was 'presented' by the director of PL.

Also, the "spiritual prequel" to PL, The Devil's Backbone, is a wonderful ghost/horror film.

Saw it at the cinema in London with my fiance and almost peed my pants.

I was going to mention the Orphanage myself. I'm a horror-junkie and do not scare easily at all, but this made me jump more than once. And I was alone in the flat later than night, and seriously couldn't sleep it was so scary thinking about it! But I also love that it has a really interesting and emotional plot, and left me feeling so sad and thoughtful aftewards too.

I'm pretty sure the guy who directed PL's also directed, as well as presented, The Orphanage.

Other than that, as a kid my childhood nightmare was ET I was terrified of him and had recurring nightmares! But I don't think he has the same effect on everyone else!
