OT Which Movie is Scarier ~ JAWS or THE THING

[stampedehero]

The thing. Easily.

 

[tlongII]

Alien

Out of those 2 --- Different kind of scary cause one is TOTAL fiction and the other could happen to a degree

No chance the THING is real but sharks are and that is why at the time of release a big portion of people were legit scared to go into the sea. If i am not mistaken The director or Benchley regretted the movie and the impact it on how Sharks were viewed by people.

Jaws is scarier. Millions of people are afraid to go swimming because of Jaws, but nobody's scared to go out in the snow because of The Thing.

(Both brilliant, BTW, and both their respective director's best movies.)

I watched jaws when I was like 4 or 5. Still hate the idea of the open water.

 

[Mediocre Man]

As a kid, I was terrified of Jaws

 

[stampedehero]

Alien

That one was really scary. Thanks

AT 8:27 the scene is the original Alien concept of stretching flesh, oozing in gob, and revolting the general public.
Personally, I like the Kurt "FuckYou"!
I want that for my phone when telemarketers call.

 

[stampedehero]

The thing. Easily.

I just watched each movie, and my reaction for this one was, "holy shit"..

Scariest jump-scare in my movie-watching life:

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Movies are fun. Now the news??? That's scary.

 

[RonBrewer]

Jaws because Great Whites are real

 

[riverman]

The Exorcist and it's not close....only movie that truly horrified me..

 

[speeds]

There is some evidence that the killing of sharks spiked since Jaws. I think that movie affected the psyche of people.

I much prefer The Thing but Jaws had real world ramifications.

 

[Chris Craig]

Neither are scary. The Thing probably more than Jaws.

 

[Chris Craig]

The Exorcist and it's not close....only movie that truly horrified me..

Yeah

Scarier than today's horror movies which are just a bunch of characters being stupid.

The movie was okay, the subject matter was a huge disappointment.

One movie that will scar you for life is Human Centipede.
