We loved Julia Roberts when she said, "I am just a girl, standing in front of a boy. Asking him to love her," to Hugh Grant in Notting Hill (1999). We were amazed when Keanu Reeves bent his body backwards to evade the bullets fired at him in, er, "bullet-time" action in Matrix (1999).

We all have our favorite scenes from our favorite romance, action, comedy and drama movies. And these unforgettable scenes—as the D'Sound song goes—have been "tattooed in our mind," thanks to our mind's ability to record scenes and experiences, especially those that appeal to our emotions and feelings.

But this ability of our mind to remember is also a bane when it comes to watching horror-thriller movies. The feeling of shock and fear while watching Sadako crawl out of a TV screen in Ring or Ringu (1998), or watching Cary Elwes as Dr. Lawrence in Saw (2004), as he cuts his leg off with a saw to be free from killer Jigsaw's chains, is like being tattooed in your softest, most delicate part—excruciating and traumatic!

And just like us, regular joes and janes, our favorite celebs also experienced being scared the bejibbers out of themselves watching horror and thriller movies. PEP (Philippine Entertainment Portal) lists the scariest movies according to the celebrities and what made these movies the scariest for them. PEP also asked them if they can bear watching again the scary films they mentioned.

SHUTTER (Thai version, 2004). New comedy box-office queen Eugene Domingo said she'll just keep to herself why Shutter is the scariest movie for her, so as not to spoil the film for those who haven't seen it yet. But she leaves a piece of advice that she picked up from watching this Thai horror flick.

"Just remember the one who has loved you so much and whom you have ignored or wronged might still be INTO YOU even after his or her death! Masakit ba ang likod mo?!! Eeeeh!!! No, I cannot watch it again. Okay na ako!"

THE GRUDGE 4 (straight-to-DVD release in 2009 and titled The Grudge 3 in the U.S.) Drama actress Dimples Romana did not give her reason either about why this third American remake of a Japanese horror original (Ju-on, 2004) is the scariest movie she has ever seen. She just laughs when asked if she wants to watch it again.

"Kuya, he-he-he-he! Ayoko na. Magkaka-heart attack ako!"

THE OMEN (1976). The Philippines' late King of Rap's wife Pia Arroyo-Magalona said she really felt the lead character in the movie was looking directly straight at her.

"The antagonist was the lead character in the movie, Damien, a boy of five. Many people died within the course of the movie and in the end, Damien is orphaned and ends up being adopted by what seems to be the President of the U.S. The final shot is of him looking evilly into the lens—as if directly at me!

"I saw this in 1976 and I was 12. It was the trend back then for children to be portrayed as possessed because of the irony that, you know, they are innocent. But this one was so well-made that it seemed so real.

"The original version of Amityville Horror [1979] is a close second because I loved the book!"

THE EYE (the original Hong Kong-Singaporean-Thai version, released in 2002). Unang Hirit host and "Reyna ng Kalsada" Love Anover shared two scary movies that left her feeling paranoid.

"Whenever I ride an elevator... Yung scene ng elevator, naaalala ko lagi. Ito yung may matandang multo sa likod nung bidang girl!

"Kaya tuloy I always make sure na nakadikit ang likod ko sa isa sa mga corner ng elevator, para makita ko yung kabuuan ng elevator. Waaa-ha-ha-ha-ha! Now, that's paranoia!

"'Tapos yung Shake Rattle and Roll [part and year unsure] where Manilyn Reynes and Ana Roces yung bida. 'Aswang' yata title nun. Ito yung dahilan bakit nakakapraning, magsasama kung kani-kanino at baka ikaw na ang susunod na alay!" Love said then laughed out loud.
