Expressions
a terrifying ordealsend shivers down my spinegive me goosebumps (goosebumps are when you skin has little bumps on it)make the hairs on the back of my neck stand up (dogs also do this when they are scared)scare the hell out of mebe scared shitless / shit scared (British slang – vulgar)be bricking it (British slang – vulgar)frighten the life out of meshake with fearjump out of my skin
Examples
One of the best horror films I have seen is "The Blair Witch Project". It tells the story of a terrifying ordeal in the woods of northern USA. Some of the scenes in the film sent shivers down my spine, especially the one when the students run out of the tent in the middle of the night. When they go back, one of the guy's rucksack has been emptied. When that same guy goes missing the next day, it gives you goosebumps.
There are some fabulous sound effects, especially the ones of the wind blowing and howling. When you hear the crying voices at the end of the film, it will make the hairs on the back of your neck stand up.
Perhaps the scariest part of the film is at the end, when you see one of the surviving students literally shake with fear in the corner of the basement. It certainly frightened the life out of the girl when she saw him, and I jumped out of my skin at the end when the camera stopped filming. The film scared the hell out of me for weeks afterwards, and I'm ashamed to say that I wouldn't go into an empty room in the house unless there was someone there with me
