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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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