JAWS: I seen this in the theatre when I was 10. It scared the bejesus outta me and I didn't dare go into the ocean for the LOOOOONGEST time. Too long. I was deathly afraid.

THE EXORCIST: Who wasn't scared by this movie? I even read the book and that too scared me. Not a movie I care to watch when I am alone and in the dark. :eek:

THE BRAIN THAT WOULDN'T DIE: A black and white "B" movie that I seen one day on television when I was around 10. Man, seeing a severed head talk just freaked me out. It is a funny movie to watch now and one I wish I could see often. :lol: http://www.scifilm.org/reviews2/brainwouldntdie.html

NOSEFERATU: I had a chance to see this movie on AMC late one night and it brought back memories of why it scared me. It is the first movie made/adapted from the Dracula book. And, if you are a Spongebob Squarepants fan, there is an episode where this monster is seen for a moment. :lol: http://www.plume-noire.com/movies/cult/nosferatu.html

FRANKENSTEIN: Man, oh man this movie scared me when I seen Frankenstein playing with that little girl by the lake. What a frightening scene right after when you see the father of that little girl carrying her dead body through the village. :eek:

FROM HELL IT CAME: Another "B" movie. Abt a man who was killed and somehow came back to life as a tree stump. :rofl:

The Wizard of Oz - That old witch STILL gives me the willies
I was never into scary movies, so, I cant really think of any others atm

well, nothing ever really scared me horror-wise, but I will admit seeing "Adam" (the movie about Adam Walsh, John Walsh's son) as a kid messed me up a bit. He wasn't that much older than I was and yet got kidnapped and murdered that after seeing the movie, I was a little afraid of getting kidnapped myself.

The Little Girl Who Lives Down the Lane starring Jodie Foster. :eek: I could never watch Silence of the Lambs - I'm not brave enough!!!

It was the flying monkeys that got to me.

I wasn't allowed to watch much tv growing up, and forget about scary movies. So I didn't see much...whatever I could catch over at a friend's house. I remember Jaws scared me too, and I saw Hitchcock's The Birds at a friends house and that really scared me too. Didn't like birds for a long time after. The Fly creeped me out too. I saw Bram Stoker's Dracula in my early 20's and that was really creepy too, for someone who was pretty sheltered from scary movies.

It was the flying monkeys that got to meOh yeah, youre right!!! They were even worse than the witch!:eek:
And another thing, I used to be scared of, the abominable snow monster in Rudolf, not a movie, per se, but, when youre 5, an hour long special seemed to take forever

Btw Bingbang, Im really enjoying your posts, hope youre enjoying yourself, so far :)

Aw gee thanks :) I am enjoying myself so far. I lurked for a long time, don't know why I didn't join, being that I'm all about sitcoms. :D

And I know what you mean about that abominable snow monster...speaking of when we were 5--->> Grinch, too

I have to say for me, A nightmare on elm street although i love them now they are funny, IT the killer clown film, Gremlins kinda scared me, Jaws is also one. The ulitmate is The exorcist! :eek:

When I was in second grade I was allowed to go to a birthday slumber party with the girls on my block. I was four or five years younger than the rest of the girls.

The mother in the house let us watch "Psycho" on TV. I was so scared and sickened; I remember covering my eyes when the knife came out and that screeching violin music started. omg:

Even at age eight I thought that the mother was irresponsible to allow us to watch that movie. "Psycho" was pretty intense for 1966.

:lol: not laughing at you sweetie, just laughing at the innocence of parents back then. I was never told, "Don't watch this or that." and at many a sleep-overs, I remember us girls watching tv all night while the parents slept. ;)

Alice in Wonderland kinda freaked me out, Yes the abonimable snowman in rudoolf scared me too, Also the Wheelers in the return to Oz scared the hell out of me...come to think of it everthing did in that.

:lol:

The Watcher In the Woods (1980)

"When A Stranger Calls Back" - the part where the guy is in the house and is painted like a brick wall so he blends in with the wall in the house! It's dark and all you can see is his eyes. I was TERRIFIED at the thought of some creep being in your house watching you and you not knowing. :eek: After watching that movie I swore someone was in my house. Damn I was so scared. :lol:

One scene in 'Psycho', when the chair was turned round revealing the skeleton made me jump, Again, in 'The Uninvited' a scene near the end did too but the only time, I recall, being scared was when I saw 'The Others'. Made me shudder. I wasn't growing, I was long grown.

The Haunting(original 1963)
Several Twilight Zone episodes including Little Girl Lost and The Hitchhiker.

When I was little I was scared of Ghostbusters oddly enough it's now one of my favorite movies. I was also scared of the Joker in Batman and Jack Nicholson is one of my favorite actors, lol.

Now I love horror movies, but I have to say that there are a few that really creep me out. The scene in The Ring when it shows the girls body in the closet and the part when that freaky kid comes out of the tv, Yikes! :eek: I also HATE The Hills Have Eyes the newer version. It doesn't scare me, but I saw the unrated version with some friends and it was the most vulgar, sick, horrible thing I've ever seen. Whoever made that move was seriously ****ed up! I feel the same way about Wrong Turn Ick!

The Wizard Of Oz & Pyscho scared me when I was growing up. It is funny that our parents let us watch all these frightening and violent movies when we were kids. That movie Chucky freaked me out after I was grown. lol!

The Haunting(original 1963)
Several Twilight Zone episodes including Little Girl Lost and The Hitchhiker.
The Twilight Zone still genuinely scares me - that show was so far ahead of it's time, it's not even funny.

I have a guy friend who saw The Legend of Lizzie Borden (starring Liz Montgomery) when it first aired. He was about 9, and it scared him to death. He refuses to watch it today, even though he's over 40!!! :rofl: That's my favorite scary movie, by the way.

It scared me too when it first aired. Man, Elizabeth certainly did a damn good job because she scared the bejesus outta me. That music at the end as well was pretty scary. :eek:

^ She's so convincing in that movie you never once think of her as Samantha.

- Black Christmas ('74)
- Jaws ('75)

^ She's so convincing in that movie you never once think of her as Samantha.
OMG you got that right!!!! :eek: There is another movie of hers that really was a step away from Samantha. I forgot what it was called but she was the head nurse at a nursing home and it also starred Kirk Douglas. Great movie, but very sad.

Actually a movie that gave me nightmares when I first saw it was The Green Berets. It was incredibly gorey and brutal.

Invaders from Mars--Straight out of a Ray Bradbury-type sci-fi genre

and, the parts of the Wizard of Oz with the Wicked Witch of the West

The Exorcist and the original Amityville Horror.

She was a great actress! How I miss her!:(

Ha ha! My daughter used to run and hide in the back of my chair when the Wicked Witch appeared!:lol:

Ha ha! My daughter used to run and hide in the back of my chair when the Wicked Witch appeared!:lol:

Yeah, the WWoftheW still scares the #$%^ out of me!:lol: Though of course not as much as the first time I saw her on the movie screen when as a little kid. What a convincing character!

when I was little; and saw THE WIZARD OF OZ for the first time; the scenes with the witch and the flying monkeys scared the HELL out of me!:eek: :eek4:

Wow, I am amazed at the posts mentioning The Wizard of Oz. Interesting.

Frankly, THE WIZ starring Michael Jackson and Diana Ross scared the hell outta me. :lol:

^ No kid today would recognize Michael Jackson in that movie. He was still black then!! :eek:

Yeah, if they remade the Wiz now with Michael looking like he does today, WOULD BE HORROR FLICK MATERIAL!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH:eek:

It would be TRAUMATIZING!! Not just to the kids, but the adults, too. :eek: :lol:

:rofl: Yeah, he wasn't scary at all in his THRILLER video, but put him in a movie now...:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek2:

^ To top it off, Gene Shalit could play the Wizard. *catlover79 runs away from computer screaming* :lol:

I used to be so scared of "Candyman." I was about 5 or 6 when I first saw it. I had nightmare after nightmare, for years. My brothers used to love it, so it was always on in our house. And no matter how scared I was, I always used to watch it...over and over. It was like a car wreck; I just had to look. The bloody hook, the murders, the bees, and THAT VOICE!...All SCARY! :(

To this day, I still get chills when I see Tony Todd on tv shows and in movies.

I remember the first time I saw dinosaurs in a movie when I was growing up; they scared the :censored: out of me! I think it was in the movie "KING KONG". (the original, not that awful 1976 remake.)

The Planet of the Apes really scared me. I thought we were getting invaded by Apes.

Nightmare on Elm Street: I was nine and wasn't allowed to go see it in theatres, but I had my eighteen year old cousin sneak my friends and I to go see it.. let's just say I was so scared, that I was afraid to sleep in my own room. Once my parents found out about me seening the movie behind their backs, my punishment was to sleep in my own room!

You should have said seeing the movie was punishment enough. :lol:

I don't see how "Thw Wizard of Oz and "The Wiz" (sorry Irene, LOL) could scare anyone. Nothing can really scare me as far as movies go, but I will say "The Elephant Man" use to freak me and my brother out! We could not watch that deformed man's face.

Well, the Wiz wouldn't nor does it scare me, I was being sarcastic. I, like you, don't understand how the Wizard of Oz is scary. :lol: But hey, people do get scared of certain things so who am I to say what is considered scary or not. ;)

I get scared watching documentaries late at night abt serial killers and then my mind starts wondering if there is one roaming around outside. :lol:

I was always scared of Arachnaphobia probably because i don't like spiders

Yeah, even though it's not a movie, but I never watch the old version of the Twilight Zone alone.

There was this movie that I seen for the first time when I was around 10. It was called Trilogy of Terror. It was three stories in one movie. Karen Black was in each movie. The one story that was the scariest and the best was the third one called AMELIA. She bought a headhunter type of doll for her boyfriend. The thing is the doll comes to life after its hunters chain falls off. The doll wants to kill. The woman is trapped in her apartment with this doll that chases her. She tries drowning it, burning it...it is still scary to me. :eek: Here is a link where you can see one scene. If you want to view it just click on the link, then click PLAYLIST til you see AMELIA, then click on that:

Here is a pic of that doll in the movie:

^WTF? that is one scary doll :lol:

Here is Liz Montgomery in The Legend of Lizzie Borden:

http://www.moviesfoundonline.com/legend_of_lizzie_borden.php

For me the original black and white Night of the Living Dead gets my vote as the scariest movie of all time.


After that would be The Birds. I still get nervous whenever I see a group of seagulls around.


For the record I didnt find The Excorist scary at all. It just bored me.

When I was a little kid-

The Child Catcher in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang
Watching Hooper's version of Salem's Lot when it originally aired on TV
Race With The Devil(especially the ending)
The clown doll scene in Poltergeist
Don't Be Afraid Of The Dark
Don't Go To Sleep
The scene where the girls vanish in Picnic At Hanging Rock
Beyond the Door with Juliet Mills
The chomping dolls in Barbarella
Seeing The Invasion of the Body Snatchers remake at the drive-in
It's Alive
Tourist Trap
An American Werewolf In London on the big screen
The scene with the dog wearing the human mask in The Mephisto Waltz
The Boogens
Blood Beach(though seeing the movie as an adult it's really corny)
Death Ship
The Brood

Almost forgot- The Shuttered Room, and Burnt Offerings

The War of the Worlds movie that came out in the 50's really scared me the first time I saw it. The special effects were so realistic for the time. I can't imagine how the people who were listening to the 1930's radio version felt, thinking there was a real alien attack happening! :eek:

I saw so many horror movies growing up. My mother is a huge Stephen King fan - I can't remember a time when I didn't know every line of The Shining or Carrie.

Really the only movie I remember being scared from was The Dark Crystal.
