When I was young,the one movie that scared me was BLACK SUNDAY,and I don't mean the football movie!
Still to this day I get a little uneasy when I see the scorpions coming out of Barbara Steele's eyes,or those demonic looking eyes as she stares at the camera. It was the only movie I ever walked out on due to fear. As an adult I would love to see a movie that would give me nightmares. Now that would be a great horror movie. But it's never going to happen. Sigh....... |

THE EXORCIST always gets me. The NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET films seem to touch something primal as well. Honestly, some of the stuff that hits me is
ROSEMARY'S BABY (hubby should protect you, not sell you to Satanists) and Kaufman's version of INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS. The last scene with
Cartwright and Sutherland still creeps me out. 'SALEM'S LOT, the tv movie, never fails to make me hide my eyes. One scene in FRIGHT NIGHT does as well.
Something about those windows..

There is one scene in Blood and Black Lace that frightened me out so badly I had to turn the channel way back in the day. Tried watching the DVD & the
scene still has the same effect on me.
The Reflecting Skin because the world it is set in is just so perverse. Like an extended nightmare I wanted to wake up from but couldn't. |

Salem's Lot scared the crap out of me when it first aired back in 79, and it still manages to creep me out to this day. One of the most unnerving movies
ever made. Brrrrr.

THE UFO INCIDENT
SUDDENLY LAST SUMMER THE INNOCENTS creeped me out enough on first viewing that I actually switched channels to a sitcom! |

The scariest thing I've seen in the last 30 years is Sandra Bernhard in The King of Comedy.

The torture scene in "Reservoir Dogs" was very upsetting and frightening. Plus it has messed up my love of Steeler's Wheel.

It was made around 1975, I think. Very well done. The alien encounter scenes are very spooky (though the aliens themselves are benevolent, or at least not malicious). I think you're thinking of the homemade "house under siege by aliens" thing that ran a decade or so ago. That was actually well done, although people would have to be pretty gullible to believe it was a real event (and I say that as someone who is still quite open-minded about UFO's). |

What move scared you bad? | ||

As a child, the original "Invisible Man," in particular the scene where he unwraps his head and starts dancing and laughing before the stunned group
of people at the door of his room, scared the bejeebers out of me. To this day I think it's the most effective single "shock" scene I've
ever... well... seen.
Of the modern (after black and white) stuff, I don't know... good question. I don't think "Chainsaw" bothered me too much. For some reason, I remember getting chills watching "The Town That Dreaded Sundown," but I can't remember why. More recent, "Panic Room," where Jodi Foster and her daughter were terrorized in their home by three lunatics made me really, really uneasy. Several years ago "Monster in the Closet" scared the daylights out of one of my daughters. She wouldn't go near a closet for weeks. But I think it had more to do me throwing myself into one and banging around while the movie was on than the movie itself. Man, did I get in trouble with my ex over that deal... |

As an adult The Blair Witch Project scared me pretty good. Not showing the witch made it that much scarier and before it came out the SCI FI channel had a
"documentary" about the Blair Witch Project which really seemed like a true documentary on the missing students. Much like Jaws scared me of never
swimming in the ocean, Blair Witch gets me uncomfortable when I am in the woods, particulary alone.
As a kid most horror movies scared me pretty good, but never made me stop watching them!! |

I've been a scaredy cat all my life, which is probably why I got into Horror films, as a kid The War Of The Gargantuas, The Blob, The Exorcist, Don't Be Afraid Of The Dark, The Amityville Horror, but even some The Twilight Zone, The Outer Limits, The Night
Gallery episodes and countless other shows.
For the longest time the Living Dead/zombie type films gave me nightmares (as an adult) till I was able to conquer my fears. Nowadays not so much. But I still avoid realistic/real life horrors. I can't stand them. I won't watch Faces of Death or any of those other "snuff" films. The first time I heard of Nekromantik, I knew I would never want to watch that film. Now I've read more about it, and that maybe there is some humor in the movie, but I still refuse to watch it.

Good call on the Wizard Of Oz. Yeah, that's another one.
How about Willie Wonka's tunnel scene, the Oompa Loompas, or simply just the bizarre destruction of the bad kids. The Frozen Dead's head: "BURY ME... BURY ME..." Brrrrrrrrrr. Even the creepy dead captain from Dark Star gave me nightmares. As a kid in The Mole People I did not realize what the statue bits were. I thought they were someone's mummified remains. Also the scene when they bring in the burnt corpses of the maidens. ACK! The "HELP ME!" scene in The Fly is just horrifying.

As a monster kid, staying up way too late on Friday and Saturday nights to watch the classics on TV while still just into my teens, there were any number of movies that really "got" me, but The Fly and its infamous end-scene was one the ones that hit me hardest and stayed with me the longest. Others that had a really lasting effect were The Thing and (especially) Invasion of the Body Snatchers, both of which scared the bejeezuz outta me when I first saw them... Later, when I saw the remakes of all three of these classics on their theatrical release, I enjoyed them all, but none had quite the visceral effect that the originals had on me (Cronenberg's "The Fly" came close, though, with it's well-wrought "body horror"). To this day, I absolutely love these three movies, and though their effects have dimmed with time, I can still excite myself into a shiver while watching any of them with a little effort...

As a kid: (all of these were "behind the couch" fare)
The Fly 5 Million Years to Earth The War of the Worlds As a teen: (with a date in hand) Alien Halloween Phantasam As an adult: Saw, Hostel, and the rest of the torture porn cycle... (although actually, it wasn't the films themselves, but rather how the audiances seemed to "get off" on watching them.) and any Friday the 13th audiance.... (I went to a "lecture" by Kane Hodder, and was appalled by the number of people [younger kids, mostly] who were just into the movies to see women killed in brutal ways.
"[The audiance] will populate the darkness with more horrors than all the horror writers in Hollywood could think of. If you make the screen dark enough,
the mind's eye will read anything into it you want! We're great ones for the dark patches." -VAL LEWTON
