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.

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.

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

Aw, come on. You know we all float down here, right?

Get..get out of my heaaaddddd.

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

omg Netflix just got this and I'm excited as piss to watch it. Mostly cause Jack Nicholson. ::love::

I know! I watched it after I posted that.

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

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

Pet Sematary & The Exorcist were my 2 kiddie traumas.

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...

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::

Tim Burtons Sleepy Hallow - I was warned...

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.

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.

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

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.

Posted In wrong thread

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.

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.

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

She was naked in the tub.

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.

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.

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.

(Mel Brooks) "That's gotta hurt!"

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.

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

evil dead
aliens
Texas CM
good bad and ugly sticks out as well

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.

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.

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)

The Lost Boys!
 

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?)

this episode of Twilight Zone was scary
 

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.

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..

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.

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.

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
