The Grudge

Krizia somehow managed to watch this in the cinema when it first came out and it's the first scary movie to really terrify her. The Grudge is actually a remake of the Japanese horror called 'Ju-On: The Grudge' (which is also a video game...no thanks). The Grudge stars Sarah Michelle Gellar who is a nurse living in Tokyo. While she's caring for an elderly woman she is exposed to a supernatural curse, a curse that is born when someone dies in the grip of a powerful rage or extreme sorrow. Those who encounter it die and the curse is reborn repeatedly, spreading from victim to victim. The reason why it's so creepy goes to the mother ghost Kayako who is seen crawling up and down the stairs (up there with that stairs scene from 'The Exorcist'), and the scene which haunted Krizia the most involving a death rattle type sound and someone lurking underneath the bed sheets. 
Dead Silence
After umming and ahhing over what this week's second LGC horror film pick would be Sophie suggested the ever so creepy Dead Silence. Krizia was the one that introduced this to Sophie and from there a love/hate relationship blossomed (even writing this is creeping Sophie out). The movie is about Mary Shaw who loved her dolls and was a skilled ventriloquist but after a boy went missing the villagers thought it was her fault and killed her. Her spirit terrorises the town and every victim she encounters she rips out their tongue. Starring Ryan Kwanten as Jamie this movie gets you at every turn and the twist at the end is truly jaw dropping. Just remember to not make a sound because as the saying goes:
"Beware the stare of Mary Shaw. She had no children, only dolls. If you see her in your dreams, make sure you never ever scream, or she'll cut your tongue out at the seam"

Beyond Belief Fact Or Fiction 

I remember staying up way past my bed time to watch every episode i could. The episode would usually have about 4 or 5 strange stories and before the show ended the host would tell you which stories were based on fact and which were fiction. Although i don't remember most of the stories i saw i clearly remember this one below which turned out to be fact!

The Twilight Zone 

This particular story is the reason why i dislike dummies, Another good one in the series is 'The Masks' which still creeps me out today. If you're a Goosebumps fan you may notice similarities between these two stories and 'Night of the Living Dummy' and 'The Haunted Mask'.

Goosebumps 

Some of the Goosebumps episodes weren't that scary at all, it was a children's show after all,  but one episode that i've never forgotten (and that i still own on VHS) is 'Welcome To Dead House'. I guess this terrified me even more because it reminded me of the Thriller music video with the zombies.
