I was always most afraid of Freddy Krueger. The whole 'he kills you in your sleep' thing freaked me out.

The Exorcist scared the shit out of me! Rosemary's Baby was no picnic either..

Then I lived in a house where a famous movie was made and realized... they're just movies..

Yep. Nightmare on Elm Street gave me many nightmares.

As an adult The Ghost and The Darkness fucked with my sleep for 3 nights. Hubby slept on the couch after the second night because I hit him in the face while fighting lions.

"Trilogy of Terror" that little doll haunted my dreams.

"Gargoyles", I snuck down the hallway to peek around the corner and watch it while my Mom was sitting on the couch. I can still hear their wailing calls.

Oh fuck, IT scared the shit out of me.  A fucking deranged clown that was everywhere and anywhere at once?  Plus he lured you towards a drain?  I was fucking terrified of drains until about 12-14y/o.

I grew up on horror movies. Aside from the usual 'made ya jump' moments, I was never really that scared. But two things used to TERRIFY me when I was little.

NO SHIT?!!?!  That's my favorite movie of all time!  I've been to the graveyard and the gas station(I have pics of me in front of it), but was never able to go to the house because they moved it.  Last I saw it's in Kingsland where it was converted to a restaurant.  Damn, I'd love to hear how you ended up there.  You've probably talked about it on here before but I've never heard your story.  Hell, maybe I'll start a chainsaw thread some time and post my pictures of the locations and you can chime in.  Damn, that's crazy!

Oops, ok back to the topic at hand.

Not at all. It was just an old farmhouse. I admit I was freaked out a bit the first couple of weeks. Hell, I was 19 when I moved in there. Lived there for 14 years.

Make the thread and I'll tell some stories. It was a great place to live until the landlord decided she wouldn't fix anything anymore. And you're correct, the house was chopped up and moved to Kingsland and it's a restaurant now.

My bedroom when I moved in was Grandpa's room in the movie...

Saw 'Fire in the Sky' when I was 9, and I didn't sleep well for 6 months.

The best part? My Dad took me camping in the White Mountains, not far where the events in the movie supposedly took place, just a few months after that. I remember how long it took me to fall asleep, laying underneath those stars . . . .

That creepy ass little room?!  Damn!  Wow!  

I looked into the house/restaurant a few months ago and it looks like it's shut down right now.  Sucks cause I really want to visit it sometime before it gets torn down or something.  Most of the other locations are inaccessible now.  For example the road seen in the final scene.  Can't get up there anymore.  Only real place left to check out is the gas station and cemetery.

I'm about to call it a night but I'll start that thread some time and give you a heads up.

Goddamn chainsaw house!  Damn.

I watched that when it came out. I was 8 or 9 at the time and freaked me out so much that it created sleep habits that continue to this day.
I know it's not real now but back and even now, then this little bastard looks like pure f#$king evil!

Grew up in Florida, not far from the Cape. Big sci-fi fan early on. Saw Steve McQueen in................The Blob!! The original! Premise was all too believable.  Bug comes from Space in a meteorite, becomes blood sucking blob..................Scared the crap out of me for weeks. Still get a shiver whenever I see a meteor/ite.

This is the movie that I remember being the one that messed with my head the most.  






Probably too young the first time I watched it.   Didn't help that my dad knew I was freaked, and waited until I was almost asleep and threw this giant rubber tarantula we had on me in bed.




Never knew I could levitate before that, but I'll be damned if I didn't levitate right off the damn bed.  I've watched it a few times since then and find it entertaining.

Matango: Attack of the Mushroom People.  I think I was like 5 at the time and it freaked me out.

Curiously most 'horror' movies never scared me when I was little because I would pick on them MST3K style.  Drove my big sister crazy because I was always making cracks like, "That's stupid.  Why doesn't she run out the door instead of up the stairs!" or "How can that guy just get up after getting shot twice in the head?"

The ending of The Exorcist disturbed me because falling down a flight of concrete stairs was a something that could really happen.
