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::

Scary films from childhood
 

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.

ATTACK OF THE KILLER TOMATOES.

Brrrrr.

No, really.

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.

it scared me
 

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.

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.

it was scary?
 

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.

my favorite line
 

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

I don't go to be scared
 

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.

Did this every happen to you?
 

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.)

my favorite Ernest movie
 

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.

alice krige
 

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.

sequels
 

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

sleepy hollow, etc.
 

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

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.

Those stupid critics
 

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?

Why attack of the k. tomatoes doesn't really work
 

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.

Bride of Chucky
 

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).
