movie that really, truly terrified you

I watched Time Bandits and Never Ending Story when I was real young...Time Bandits was just so wierd I didnt know what was going on and was constantly afraid midgets were gonna break into my room and push the wall back. The wolf in Never Ending Story was just too much for me, and I always thought that big flying dog would eat the main character. Nevertheless, I watched the hell outta those movies.

Also when I was young I watched an Unsolved Mysteries episode about a haunted house. There was a ghost kid who would bounce a ball against a wall, and the people would hear it. Well, later on that night my dad decided to wake me up by bouncing a tennis ball against my door. That fucked me up for a long time, but in the most delightful way.

i watched "funny games" for the first time around eight years ago, and it really shook me up badly. i guess just the coldness of the characters, probably also the fact that i was only 13.

so what about the rest of you?

Ok........out of character for me....but i'm gonna give you a straight answer.

"Jaws" is most likely the only movie that had a long lasting effect on me.I live in New England so beaches are readily available to me and when that movie first came out I was just a teenager of 17......every time I went into the water that fucking music would be playing in my head.....duh duh....duh duh.....duh duh duh duh duh duh duh da....do da doo

I've never been ''truly terrified'' by a movie but The Exorcist is the only movie that's really gave me a chill.

some times the excorsist scares me. not always, it depends on my mood. any movie with clowns tvs or mirriors scare me.

Ditto.

And that Gmork character in Never Ending Story fascinated me when I watched it the first time.

"If you come any closer, I ll rip you to shreds!"

The neverending story KINDA had me uneasy in some parts.

I remember NOES1 and the first hellraiser were the ones that had a lot of ongoing nightmare related impact as a kid...I was maybe 6-7 when I saw them both...

Critters, although laughable now also got to me.

Probably the two that freaked me out most though, were
*invaders from mars...kinda like the kids equivalent to bodysnatchers...
*Almost a tie with the lake scene in whatever creepshow movie had that one.

I would take, deformed creeps, and aliens, over clowns from outer space, and girl in the tv any day. bring on the aliens and hairy lady.

The Exorcist,The Exorcist 3 and The Town that Dreaded Sundown. All three gave me the creeps!
