PastaJoe Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Halloween Alien Apollo 18 Saw a 70's movie on late night tv as a kid. Can't remember name, but group of college age kids go to an island I think near NYC. Lead guy looks like a hippie. At night he insists on reading some incantations from old book to scare everyone, but it causes the dead to rise from the cemetery. Everyone eventually is killed, and the movie ends with the zombies getting in a boat to go to the city. My first experience with zombies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Vader Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 "JAWS". The music alone scared me. Not to mention that Quint's death is the stuff that is made out of nightmares. The made for TV movie, "Don't Be Afraid of the Dark". By today's standards it is very tame, but as a kid, it really scared me. I remember the next day at school, me and my friends were all talking about it. "Pinocchio". I love this movie, but as a kid, when Lampwick turns into a donkey..... :o Night on Bald Mountain segment from "Fantasia". A lot of scary images. I was quite easily frightened as a kid, if you couldn't already guess. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledInIllinois Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Not a movie, but I gues it was made into one (much later): The Cat in the Hat. Boy that Cat was trouble, Kids freaky... No wonder the Fish was a "neurotic" mess! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JÂy RÛßeÒ Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 (edited) Agree on the very end of Blair Witch. The scene in Salem's Lot where the vampire kid is hovering outside the window, scratching it asking to be let in: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=eC5HZzjjI9Y Actually the written version creeped me out more than the TV movie version. Helter Skelter creeped me out because it was real. Edited December 17, 2014 by JÂy RÛßeÒ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May Day 10 Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Poltergeist scared the living hell out of me as a kid. The Omen part when the guy got his head decapitated freaked me out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was quite easily frightened as a kid, if you couldn't already guess. lol I thought you were talking about "Are You Afraid of the Dark?" As a young kid, those shows were pretty damn freaky. I still don't think I've recovered from the achilles cutting scene from "Hostel". Jacob's Ladder and Event Horizon both have some chilling scenes in them. I think what movie got me the most was watching The Omen at the age of like 10. "It's all for you Damien! It's all for you!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cugalabanza Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 The first movie that scared the **** out of me was Burnt Offerings with Oliver Reed, Karen Black and Bette Davis. It was this chauffer character that got me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chef Jim Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 For those of you who said The Exorcist. I have a dare for you. Find some sound bytes online. Turn out the lights, put on the headphones and crank it up. See how long you last without ripping the headphones off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
