I somehow convinced my dad to take me to JAWS when I was 7. I wouldn't go in our 3 foot deep above ground pool alone after that. The Exorcist still creeps me out. Same. jaws wrecked my summers |

It wasn't really a horror film but that god damned Robert Mitchum in Cape Fear had me keeping the hallway light on for two weeks.

Omega Man scared the crap out of me as a kid, to the point of nightmares for a long time.

I saw "The Thing" (the original version, with James Arness in the title role) when I was about 8 years old (1951). I had nightmares for weeks after that. Found a copy on VHS in a local used-book store. Just had it transferred to DVD. Gonna watch it with my gal pal. ETA: Fuck a motherfucking clown! |

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. I was convinced that the child catcher was going to get me. My mom had to take me out of the theater to get me to stop crying.

Greydon Clark's Uninvited. Monster lives inside a cat, when the cat gets mad the monster crawls out its mouth and kills people, then back into the cat body to run away. Had me terrified of yellow cats for a couple years. I watch it now and holy shit it's bad.

I can't watch those Paranormal movies as an adult.
When I was a kid the Omen movies, the Excorcist and Ghost Story did it for me. |

Watch "The Divide" That is a messed up movie where people do melt down. Almost every character goes off the deep end into an empty pool head first.

Do any of y'all remember a movie called D.E.W.? I think it was TV, it was on ABC. Distant Early Warning. I think I was 12 or 13 when it aired and it scared me to death... lol Distant Early Warning
YES! That was it. No real action, just a study in people melting down when they know something bad is happening but don't know what it really is.. Watch "The Divide" That is a messed up movie where people do melt down. Almost every character goes off the deep end into an empty pool head first.
A modern take on that was a Clooney movie called Solaris. |

Anyone know of a movie where a bunch of people burn someone to death on a beach, taking pictures the whole time? A friend of mine saw it when she was a kid, and all she can remember is a bunch of people standing around a burning person and telling him/her to say Cheese.

A movie called The Entity with Barbra Hershey spooked the bejesus out of me when I was a kid because it was based on a true story that as far as I know still continues to this day.

My perspective on how to view most horror movies:
I know this may sound apathetical, but most horror movies I watch, I end up cheering for the monster / zombie horde. Most characters in the movies in horror movies are portrayed as dim witted fools who cannot grasp even the most obvious clues that something is amiss in their daily lives. When other people start to disappear, or their mangled corpses are found, the characters just rationalize these events or simply deny the possibility of any malevolent presence. Even when the action finally starts and the characters become aware that their existence is in peril, they often refuse to take reasonable precautions such as arming themselves, staying in a group or even locking the fucking door. Too many times a person will enter into a precarious situation or suspects dwelling and they must always complete this endeavor at night, during a fucking rainstorm. Bringing along a dollar store flashlight always adds to the character’s level of incompetence. Of course, doing any reconnaissance is too time consuming to be worth the effort. This methodology gives the ghoul / vampire / zombie all the tactical advantage possible. So yes, I root for the evil doer. After all they are helping add bleach to the shallow end of the gene pool. |

The TV spot for The Shining, that showed Jack limping through the maze with an axe, scared all of the kids in my neighborhood.
None of us had seen the movie since we were all between 7 and 10 years old. Whenever someone had to walk back to their house from wherever we were all hanging out, someone would always say, "See ya later, and watch out for that guy from the Shining." |

Mr Rogers Neighborhood. I really hate and still hate those Fing puppets to this day.
Also the mutated bear from the Prophecy when it hit the kid in the sleeping bag and feathers went everywhere. All we did was camp when I was little. Chucky when I was like 6, I was threatened if I wasn't good someone would buy me a Chucky doll. |

Also,Zelda from "Pet Cemetery" creeped me the fuck out. I remember being too terrified to look during that part of the movie just based on the moans as the scene moved down the hall. My mother is a huge horror fan, so I saw a lot of the genre growing up. I don't remember being as scared of any other movie. I don't even know what I was scared of. I haven't seen the movie since.
