Only movie that ever scared me was the Exorcist
My biggest scare in movies is The Shining. I suspect it would still scare me today. The Lovely Lady has never seen it. We're talking about seeing together.
Me I "exorcised" myself by watching the movie hundreds of times. When I was sixteen, me and my best buddy used to rent movies every weekend and we'd pick the Exorcist as our freebie every week - until I bought it. We used to watch entire scenes on slow motion. I also read the book a dozen time.
I remember having a younger friend watching it years later - he'd never seen it, and his reaction was that it wasn't scary at all. And that's when I understood that the context in which I'd watched it was at least as important as the movie itself.
I mean, my grandmother being deeply religious, demonic possession was a really serious risk. Plus we lived in this odd place - not only were there crosses and religious artefacts everywhere in the house but we lived right in front of the cemetery, with the church and the funeral home close by. There weren't any kids in the neighbour, so I was brought up in a environment that was abundant in symbols of death and religion.
Plus nowadays, on DVD and with high resolution, it's pretty easy to spot all the tricks. But back in the old VHS days, it was a lot more disturbing.
Unfortunately, by the time I saw the Shining, I was immune. But I enjoyed it tremendously, though.
