Movies that scared me as a kid.

C.H.U.D
Return of the living dead

what scared you?

[hammerfan]

The Exorcist. Still does.

[siorai]

Poltergeist
Evil Dead

[jenna26]

No movie scared me as badly as the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and it STILL scares me just a little, to be honest. The Exorcist and A Nightmare On Elm Street got me as well. :o

[Nella]

There was a movie called Let's Scare Jessica To Death. (I was under the age of 10 at that time.) These are not in order, of course:

Cujo
Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter (4th movie)
Jaws
King Kong (70's Version)
Some grizzly movie- there have been so many but I just remember certain scenes...
Halloween

[La Chat Noire]

Jaws and Pet Semetary. And I remember this scary version of Little Red Riding Hood that I saw when I was about 4 that made me terrified of wolves.

[ManchestrMorgue]

Some of the films that I remember scaring me when I was really young:

Dracula AD 1972
And Now the Screaming Starts
The Exorcist
Count Dracula (BBC production)

Probably heaps of others, but those were the ones that really left an impression.

[crabapple]

Frankenstein (1931)
Children Shouldn't Play With Dead Things
The Land Unknown
Monster from the Ocean Floor
Horror of Dracula
Bedknobs and Broomsticks (sounds silly but it's true!)

[ChronoGrl]

Carnival of Souls
Psycho
The Birds
The Invisible Man
The Thing From Another World
Invasion of the Body Snatchers

[Vodstok]

Alien
Fright Night
The poster for Return of the Living Dead gave me nightmares, as did the commercials and comic for Creepshow
Kingdom of the Spiders (great cheese now, who doesnt love Shatner and some dumb woman shooting regular spiders with a damn .44)

[devinsetsfire]

For some reason the one movie that got me as a little kid was Doctor Giggles. I re watched it now and it was a laugh fest. but as a kid I never wanted to go to the doctors and get a shot. Still don't but as a kid I would scream bloody murder to get away.

Other than that I can't remember any. This one just over clouded my memory as a child. I loved the rest.

when I was 4 my mom couldnt take Nightmare on Elm Street away from me.

Oh and also Eraserhead. AHH

[The_Return]

Oh and also Eraserhead. AHH

Christ, you watched that when you were a KID?!

You must be one messed up human being.

[Hilti88NYC]

Poltergesit.Never scared me enough not to watch it.But that Clown scene was always freaky, still to this day. Exorcist is one that always freaked me out,which is why I still watch quit often.

[scaryladi232]

The only movie that scared me as a kid was Exorcist when her head spinned i about died it scared me so bad.

[ChainStalker]

No doubt in my mind, the movie that scared me the most as a child was : A Nightmare on Elm Street. It was not only the movie which left an impact on me, but the unforgettable situation that occured afterwards.

I remember watching it over at a friend’s for the first time. I must have been 7 or 8. First of all, there were some scenes from the movie that scared the living hell out of me: Tina being chased through the alleyway as Freddie’s arms grew, than slashed and drug across the walls and ceiling, leaving a trail of blood everywhere.....intense! Then the bathtub scene,...wow! Anyways, the movie didn't get finished until late that night and I didn't have permission to spend the night over at my buddies house. So, I knew I was going to have a lonely walk home. My friend’s house was only a few blocks from my house, so no biggie right? I was a tough lil’ kid (I thought, lol). So, I'm walking home and yeah, my heart was already pacing from the movie I just watched. It was pitch black out and the crickets were chirping there little hearts out. When I turned off one street and onto the next, I saw a distorted object way ahead of me. It didn't look like it was moving; I thought it must be a tree or something. Well I got a little closer to that object and yup...it was definitely moving. But it was just a person coming my way. I tried to shrug off the horror I just watched and told myself to get a grip, "It's just a man out for a walk." Well, the man approached me closer and closer, until I got a good view of his long trench coat. And for the grand finale, a top hat lay on his skull which casted shadows over his face..... Well, that was the end of my journey! I turned around in a flash and dashed back to my buddy’s house, never have I ran so fast......

Still to this day I remember every aspect and heartbeat of that journey home. That night, I felt more alive than ever before.

Sorry for the carry on..lol. Just felt I had to add it in there for yas.

[Phalanx]

Critters
Invaders from Mars
NOES1 (and how!)
Hellraiser

...those are all that come to mind.

[roshiq]

Evil Dead
Ghost Story (TV series from 1972-73, but broadcast here at the mid of 80's!)
Maniac Cop

Wow id be totally freaked out! I thought Nightmare on elm street 1 was by far the best and scariest 2 however was so gay (for real) like how the gym teacher got spanked with a towel to death haha.

[scarecrow666]

I wassnt allowed to watch any when i was a kid.:o
But there was this one time when i was in bed, my parents was watching some horror film, and there was a lot of screaming. My imagination ran riot i had it in my mind that some women in the film was being cooked alive in a oven.......Dont know why, i just did.:eek:

But the first horror film i watched was The Kindred. Wassent scared though.

[Damn Heathen]

One Dark Night was very, very unsettling. Floating corpse still scare me when the moon is fungous and the shadows demoniac.

[Raegan]

Children of the Corn....but I was 9 other than that nada

[anglewitch]

Damn it....... I am to used to horror films every time something tries to scare me I fall asleep. Tell me what I am doing wrong. I want to be scared.

[Damn Heathen]

Damn it....... I am to used to horror films every time something tries to scare me I fall asleep. Tell me what I am doing wrong. I want to be scared.
I was the same way until the day I discovered One Dark Night. Horrifying.

[ImmortalSlasher]

I think I posted some of these before somewhere around here.

Nightmare on Elm Street (original)

Halloween (original)

Halloween 3

Friday the 13th Part 6

Invasion of the Body Snatchers. I believe the second one that had Mr. Spock in it.


A few others that I need to remember but I can't think of right now.

[tfantasy]

The Exorcist

Anything with Vincent Price and Christopher Lee

The Legend of Hell House

It's hard to remember all the flicks I watched in the 70's.....

[Gears-of-Warren]

The Exorcist scared me back whenever. Now, it's stuff like Insidious and Oculus that unnerve me.

[FryeDwight]

Evil Dead
Ghost Story (TV series from 1972-73, but broadcast here at the mid of 80's!)
Maniac Cop

I certainly remember the GHOST STORY pilot where pregnant Barbara Parkins and her husband buy the house on an old witch execution site that absolutely scared me out of my wits, especially towards the end. But then again, old episodes of DARK SHADOWS used to do it too... those fangs!
The Chris Lee DRACULAS did a number on me as well

[sorrowmovie]

Watching Ernest Scared Stupid movie now it's not scary but when I was Child it scared the hell out of me.

I haven't seen it, but the movie was freaky. That corpse-ghost-thing gave me nightmares.

[FryeDwight]

I haven't seen it, but the movie was freaky. That corpse-ghost-thing gave me nightmares.

Are you talking about the 1981 film with Fred Astaire John Houseman and Alice Krige? That was pretty good with creepy FX.
The GHOST STORY I was talking about was a 1972 TV flick

[CountTrocar]

The only movie that ever really scared me as a kid was Pee-Wee's Big Adventure. I was like five or six the first time I saw it. I was sitting by myself watching it in the living room and my mom was back in her bedroom. When it got to the scene with Large Marge I freaked out and ran screaming back to my mom's room but her door was locked so I just started slamming my entire body against it until she let me in. Keep in mind I wasn't a squeamish kid and even at that age I had already seen some pretty gnarly horror movies but nothing ever seemed to phase me except that.

I can't be the only kid that found that to be like the funniest thing ever...


The only thing I can really remember scaring me as a kid was the boat scene from Willy Wonka.

[Seth Brundle]

A Nightmare on Elm Street 4 was really scary for me and this film also introduced me to horror. Other ANOES films were also really scary, especially the first one, even more than the fourth. Also I would say Alien and Halloween. And Jason goes to Hell had it's moments when I was really scared (I was little kid, so...). I was also very scared at the end of Ed and His Dead Mother, when Steve Buscemi is burying his mothers head (I repeat, I was little kid).

[Roiffalo]

I was mostly freaked out by shows... CSI during dinner time was a very FOND memory. ::roll eyes::
There were a few movies though. A few being The Mummy and Scooby Doo on Zombie Island were rather traumatizing to me as a kid. I still don't like zombies or mummies to this day.

My parents aren't big on horror so I never got to see any true horror classics til I was older. At that point I wasn't such a wuss anymore.

[MovieLover12]

As a child I saw Xtro. Spent years after trying to locate the movie from bits and pieces I remembered. Struck gold and brought it on DVD over a year ago and relived those moments.

[NightOfTheLiving_Sam]

The movies that scared me as a kid was The Exorcist and Fire In The Sky. Fire In The Sky wasn't exactly a horror movie but what the aliens were doing to Travis scared me! I ended up having to sleep in my brother's room for a few nights after I saw the movie cause I was so scared.

[Loredonna]

When I was little I was a total coward and my best friend and her grand mother loved horror movies. The grand mother thought it was hilarious when I would hide behind her chair. The ones that stick out in my mind though were Cat's Eye, Silver Bullet and the episode of Jim Henson Story Tellers with the soldier who trapped death. For some reason I was convinced that the demons from that episode lived in my elementary school bathroom.

[Disconser]

It's no horror movie I was afraid of but according to my family I've been pretty scared by Spirited Away. And since I know that I liked No Face from the start it must have been the witch that sent shivers down my spine.

[sfear]

Roger Corman's Tales Of Terror and Robert Wise's The Haunting. The latter still does when I haven't seen it for a few years.

[Toddallthingshorror]

It scared me. I refused to walk next to storm drains because of him. ::EEK!::

The Shinning started everything for me. I saw it back before the age of 10, and it scared and influenced me more then anything.

This one image should sum up my scariest movie as a kid:

[Scarecrows]

For me its Halloween (original) movie...::EEK!::

[SerialKiller]

Pet Sematary & The Exorcist were my 2 kiddie traumas.

[SQ112]

Poltergeist, more specifically, the face peeling scene. I must have been about 6 and was flickering through the channels when it came on. Let's just say I didn't try to pull neither mine or anyone else's skin after that...

[darkdetective]

The opening scenes of Clive Barkers Night breed really scared me and my brother when we were kids.
My parents were watching it and my brother and I were sneaking a peek through the door in the hall when we where supposed to be in bed. That scene freaked us out.

I should really revisit that movie again!::wink::

[Lick My Katana]

Tim Burtons Sleepy Hallow - I was warned...

[bats]

i saw the second chucky movie when i was about five at a friends house and that movie messed me up. i find it funny now but as a kid who had not really seen any horror movies it was horrifying. i hated when people gave me dolls after that because they were not to be trusted.

[Sculpt]

Let's see, scared me as a kid...

The Legend of Sleepy Hollow -- the disney animated short was scary to me.

Don't Be Afraid of the Dark on TV

Jaws in the theatre

The Exorcist on TV

Amityville Horror on TV

Psycho 60 on TV

Halloween on TV

Poltergeist at theatre

Ghost Story gave me a few jumps.

Some other horror films horrified me, not scared me, like The Amazing Colossal Man, The Fly 58, The Birds 63, Texas Chain Saw Massacre.

[RollinFan]

Don't Be Afraid of the Dark
Bad Ronald
Let's Scare Jessica to Death

[Oro13]

Honestly, and I don't know why, but The Raft creature from Creepshow 2 freaked me right the hell out when I was a kid.

[Bloof]

Posted In wrong thread

[Sculpt]

Honestly, and I don't know why, but The Raft creature from Creepshow 2 freaked me right the hell out when I was a kid.

Oh ya, that one spooked me too! The pond blob, and the Dover-sign carrying hitcher "Thanks for the ride, lady!", were the best of the Creep Show shorts; really effectively done.

[Oro13]

Oh man, I forgot about that hitchhiker! What a great way to end that segment, lol.

I'm also with you on Jaws, kept me out of the ocean when I was a kid.

[anglewitch]

Ghost Story gave me a few jumps.

Is that the movie that has the naked chick walking around in it?

[Sculpt]

She was naked in the tub.

[anglewitch]

She was naked in the tub.
upGQpr5CwMA

Yep that's the one. But there are more nude scene than that. There is her laying butt naked on a bed face down. Which is at the beginning I think. When I first watched it with my dad when I was a kid we had to fast forward through so many scenes we couldn't understand anything in the film at all. Then last year when I watched it I was like what the hell is this crap.

[Repo'd]

Some of the movies that scared me as a kid make me laugh today.
The Tingler is the first film that I recall really frightening me, and it was one scene in particular that got me. When the deaf mute lady is being terrorized in her apartment and the film switches to (some) color, I lost it! That hand emerging from the blood filled bathtub, my heart was pounding through my chest. Not even sure if the rest of the movie had any impact on me at all, but to a kid of probably 8 years old, that one bathtub scene gave me serious nightmares.

[Roiffalo]

I'm also with you on Jaws, kept me out of the ocean when I was a kid.

I've heard of Jaws keeping people from taking a piss from being so stupidly scared. Honestly people? A shark in a TOILET? You should fear the snakes instead.

[vampyd1977]

i cant think of being scared as such but twice i was sent to bed as a child for getting over emotional/excited.once really young watching jaws,i was actually bouncing up and down i was so enthralledand my mum sent me to bed.the eccond embaressingly enough was watching howard the duck, when jones tells them he is nolonger a person,he is now a dark overlord in the cafe.nearly wet myself i was so pent up waiting for him to transform.

[brainscan]

I started watching horror movies so young i don't think any really scared me. creeped me out sure but not scared.

[djsmuv]

As a child I saw Xtro. Spent years after trying to locate the movie from bits and pieces I remembered. Struck gold and brought it on DVD over a year ago and relived those moments.

I watched it today for the first time since I rented the VHS copy in the 80's.
Just as bad as I remember it, although i'm kind of fond of these cheap and cheerful horror movies.

I remember as a kid being severely spooked by 'Night of the Demon' & 'The Birds', when these were shown on Seventies tv.

[AuthorEllie]

Friday the 13th (Original) I just turned 12 when I first saw it and yep that scared the bee-gees out of me. Bloody Jason was a true nightmare. Then came Nightmare on Elm Street (Original) and yep that was spooky too. They sure in hell don't make them like that any more. Those were the kind of movies that had actual 'Jump-Scares in them.' Nowadays nothing is jump-scare worthy of a mention, at least not what I've found.

[diezman]

I remember several movies that freaked me out as a kid. Many of them were made for TV movies

Don't Be Afraid of the Dark
Trilogy of Terror
The Devil's Daughter
Salem's Lot (1979)
Crowhaven Farm
Horror At 37,000 Feet

I have them all on DVD. Watching these movies as an adult - some hold up and a few seem really hokey::big grin::

A few theatrical movies that scared me as a kid.

The Exorcist (saw on TV)
Dr. Phibes Rises Again (saw on TV)
A Nightmare On Elm Street (1984)
Alien (1979)

[Belz]

The first horror I ever saw was The Lost Boys... yeah, I know what you're thinking - scared, really? (I was nine years old, alright?)

BUT, nonetheless it's a classic and fun as hell. Joel Schumacher's awesome take on vampires PLUS an overall radical tone that only an 80s film could have.

Favorite line: "My own brother, a goddamn, shit-sucking vampire. You wait 'till mom finds out, buddy!" ('Cause who didn't love Corey Haim?)

[idoneus1957]

It's not a movie, but it scared the hell out of me. I think the name of the episode was "The gremlin." William Shatner played a guy on an airplane who is sure that there is a monster on the wing.
Well, I think I was about ten years old. In one part, Shatner's character has a curtain over the window. He draws the curtain and the monster is looking right in at him!
I ran out of the living room, and watched the rest of the episode from the safety of the hallway.

I remember that episode well. Now whenever I fly I look for....the gremlin.

[SadisticMoonlight]

I am young still so when I was a kid The Grudge just came out and of course that scared me a lot. So, obviously The Grudge was one. Also, Chucky..

[HorrorNights]

THE BIRDS could be scary and creepy when I was a kid. The movie that REALLY, REALLY scared me as a kid and was difficult for me to watch as I became an adult is THE EXORCIST. That movie scared me like no other! Now it is one of my most favorites.

[CircleOfSalt]

I remember a movie called The Watcher In The Woods scaring me half to death as a kid. It’s an old MWOD film so some may remember it lol...more supernatural than horror genre, but still scary as hell. It’s one of my favorite films now - still have a hard time finding stories of that caliber being made today.

Gremlins also scared the living shit out of me for the longest time as a kid, lol. Those puppets were too much for me. Even Chucky didn’t really affect me all that much - I thought Chucky was kinda cheesy and campy - but Gremlins had me up all night convinced they were in my house.

[Jmarie]

Nightmare on Elm Street - was scared by the opening when he's scraping his glove

Carrie

Friday the 13th - when Jason comes out of the water and pulls Alice into the lake

Night of the Living Dead - was afraid of cemeteries for a while

Return of the Living Dead - I find the music very creepy when the gas leaks and spreads in the warehouse

[Crimson Jade]

Nothing comes to mind for me ATM, but, The Exorcist(the first one), scared my mother so bad that she could not be alone for a week...She saw it when it first came out in the '70's..I hope this counts...::cool::

[mgarzag]

The first three films that come to mind that scared me as a kid were: The Exorcist, The Sixth Sense, and A Nightmare on Elm Street.

[fudgetusk]

ATTACK OF THE KILLER TOMATOES.

Brrrrr.

No, really.

[LuvablePsycho]

I think the only movies that ever bothered me were the Final Destination movies. That tanning bed scene in the third movie was so cruel. 😐 I'm scared to get in tanning beds now.

[idoneus1957]

It wasn't a movie, but when I was a child (a very long time ago), I saw that episode of Twilight Zone where the gremlin was on the wing of the plane. When William Shatner pulls open the window curtain and there's the gremlin's face staring in, I ran out of the room, and watched the rest of the episode f rom the hallway.

[Smeg Head1]

Little Monsters (1989)
A boy discovers an incredible and gruesome world of monsters under his bed.

This movie scared me. I was five when it was released and for a long while after I was scared of monsters under my bed.

https://ia.media-imdb.com/images/M/MV5BM2VjOThmNjktNGE1ZS00NWY3LThlMzItOWEyZjMwOGI4ZD NmXkEyXkFqcGdeQXVyMzM4MjM0Nzg@._V1_UX182_CR0,0,182 ,268_AL_.jpg

[idoneus1957]

The Sixth sense was scary?
I just remember that the actress who played the wife, Olivia Williams,
was unbelievably gorgeous. She also plays Mrs. Darling in the movie Peter Pan, a reason to see that movie.
My friend Roman says he figured out the surprise ending halfway through the movie.
Seen on a t-shirt: I See Dumb People.

[idoneus1957]

My favorite line from the Lost Boys is "How much do you think we should charge for this one?"

[idoneus1957]

Nowadays I don't watch horror movies to be scared, but just to see something atmospheric. So I watch Mark of the Vampire in spite of the crummy ending, for those lovely shots of old castles and mist-filled graveyards. And that owl.

And Lionel Barrymore has such a lovely voice that when he says "Ach, the fools!" it sounds like music.

[idoneus1957]

Did it? You're a little kid, and you just watched a scary movie, and you are about to visit the bathroom, but you are afraid to open the bathroom door because of what might be behind the door.

"Nothing is more frightening than what's behind the closed door." ---Stephen King.

why was the remake of Nightmare on Elm Street so crummy, when Wes Craven had shown them how to do it right?

I think John Saxon died a few months ago (the father in Nightmare, and a million other movies, including Enter the Dragon.)

[idoneus1957]

My favorite is Ernest Goes to Jail.

It's my personal opinion that Jim Varney had a hell of a lot more talent than Jim Carrey, and the only reason the critics didn't notice this is pure snobbery. The ernest movies are aimed at an audience that is southern, rural, and working class.

Check out Varney's double role in E. goes to Jail, or the scene in that movie where they tell Ernest he has to seem like a criminal, so he does a bunch of rapid-fire impressions of famous movie criminals.

and the scenes in that movie with the magnetized Ernest and the metal objects is like something out of classic silent comedy.

[idoneus1957]

Alice Krige is good in horror movies because she is simultaneously beautiful and a little creepy.
Sleepwalkers has to be the crummiest Stephen King movie ever, but Alice Krige was hot, as usual.

[idoneus1957]

The problem with all those sequels is they get crummier and crummier until you forget how good the first movie was.

[idoneus1957]

My friend thought Sleepy Hollow was repetitious. Well, the add warned us "Heads will roll!"

The problem with Let's scare Jessica to death is that they left you in doubt as to whether it's all in her mind. Some people like that sort of thing, but I like to know

[LuvablePsycho]

My favorite is Ernest Goes to Jail.

It's my personal opinion that Jim Varney had a hell of a lot more talent than Jim Carrey, and the only reason the critics didn't notice this is pure snobbery. The ernest movies are aimed at an audience that is southern, rural, and working class

Yeah I hate critics too because they really are a bunch of snobs. I learned a long time ago to judge things for myself and not to listen to the opinions of critics. I don't understand why more people don't do the same.

[idoneus1957]

It's difficult for me to find out if a horror movie is good from a review in the New York Times, because they regard all of them as cheap popular trash. Sometimes the review with the reviewer basically saying "This is just a horror movie, so f**k it."

Example: the review of The Frighteners said that the plot was incoherent. So when I saw it on tv, I looked carefully for holes in the plot. I couldn't find any. I think that the reviewer figured that since it was a horror movie, he was not required to pay any attention to the plot, so he had trouble following the plot.

In that movie, it must have been a great change of pace for Dee Wallace to play a bad girl when she is always cast as a good girl. It's like Diane Wiest: after years of always playing someone's mother, she got to play a man-eating vamp in Bullets over Broadway.

One reason I like the frighteners is I'm always liked Trini Alvaredo. But why is Trini Alvaredo a girl, and Trini Lopez (the singer, "Lemon Tree") a guy?

[idoneus1957]

It's better when cult midnight movies kind of happen by accident. If you start out to make a cult midnight movie, the odds are you won't succeed.

But I love the Attack of the K. Tomatoes theme song.

[idoneus1957]

When I watched Bride of Chucky, I wanted to skip the scary parts and just hang my horny eyeballs on Jennifer Tilly.

I liked Bride of Chucky because other than the fact that they were serial killers turned into dolls Chucky and Tiffany were like a very real couple. They had fights and arguments but you could tell that they also genuinely enjoyed being with each other (and murdering together lol).
