Movies that scared you growing up...

[Ireneparalegal]

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.

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. 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. 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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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

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.

The Watcher In the Woods (1980)

[sweetdiggity]

"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. After watching that movie I swore someone was in my house. Damn I was so scared.
