I used to have a recurring nightmare that spooked the hell out of me, it was only short and came from a scene in the movie Phantasm, you know the bit right at the end where the kid sees the tall man in the mirror but when he turns round there's no-one there and then the things come out of the mirror and grab him (sounds a bit vague i know, but i was only about 20 when i saw the film), well change me for the kid and that's the nightmare!!!
I would wake up in terror, with my heart pounding and the sweat dripping off me, i know that's the part of the movie that scared me i just don't know why, there were much worse parts to that film but i had the dream every night for about 6 months, sometimes more than once a night, got to the point where i was afraid to go to sleep.
I did manage to get it to stop eventually but only by completely shutting all memory of the film out of my mind, so much so that i actually remember very little about it (which is why the description is so vague) and wasn't even aware they had made a sequel, let alone 3.
I now have the whole set in my collection but haven't yet plucked up the courage to watch it, i do want to see it to try to understand why it scared me so much because it's not like i was a child at the time, or that i wasn't used to watching horror movies, going to have to be early in the day though and not alone.
