I can't remember from back in the day. Maybe it was Poltergeist that seems about right. I can tell you now though I refuse to watch The Fourth Kind ever again. That shit just freaks me out. Anything that has semi realistic alien abduction just keeps me up at night.
Oh, going to watch Evil Dead here in an hour. I've heard its gory, not scary but still looks good nonetheless. |

Without reading the other replies yet, I will have to say that it was definitely "Children of the Corn". Still cringe at the sound of those biblical names.

The Shining!I saw it for the first time when I was 20 in a room full of people with the lights out.

Quoted:
Help me out here! I would have been 5 years old or so... There was a movie on TV late at night in the late '70s or early '80s where this guy was chasing a woman through the desert or something... at the beginning of the movie he was shaving (it didn't show his face) and he said "Good Morning" in a scariest damn voice I'd ever heard. I guess he was using one of those voice modulators / larynx amplifiers. I think I ran to my room and hid. It wasn't Duel - he was chasing or trying to capture a woman. The memory of that voice still gives me the willies. Speaking of Duel, that movie got a ton of late night play, during the 80s. It seems like it was always on when I stayed up late. I would be sweating by the movie's end, very intense. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

The Empire Strikes Back
I was 3 years old. My parents took me when it came out, they also took me to see Star Wars when i was one, but I dont remember that one of course. But Mom told me i looked like Luke Skywalker, and it made me have this nightmare about Vader. Most vivid dream i have ever had, and i can relive it in detail on a whim. |

Stephen King's It Dark house on the second story. Was raining out. Neighbors had a huge tree that would blow the leaves up against the window. Freaked out as hell. And its not like I'm scared of clowns either. Don't bother be. |

The Birds, outdoor theater (seats, not a drive-in) in Iran. I was 6 years old and went with my two older brothers, 14 and 12. I was O.K. until the eyes pecked out scene. The 14yo got a whoopin for that one.

My wife cannot watch that movie. It still freaks her out. I taught my youngest son to say "Malachi" when he was first learning to talk. She was not amused. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

Disney - Watcher in the Woods. I always liked that one. I just closed my eyes during the "scary" parts. My first movie that gave me nightmares was MaryLou, Prom Night 2. I couldn't even watch it all the way through and slept with teddy bears and head under covers for a looooong time. |

Holy carp, I forgot about Fire in the Sky. I was in elementary school when I saw it, and that abduction scene led to many nights of sleeping with the light on. Experiements |

The Wizard of Oz, all those monkeys, the witch melting away, threatening Toto

Toss up between 'The Omega Man' and 'House of Dark Shadows'.
Riding my bike home in the dark after seeing 'The Omega Man' was not fun. |
|
Seen Phantasm at the drive in as a kid and had nightmares for a long time after.

Quoted: While I have to say that I love that flick...."The Haunting (The '63 Robert Wise version)" is still my favorite.http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o75/horasdeterror/1246846-feKkjt8ccJ.jpg legends of Hell House http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0WZIbOzlbqI http://<a href=http://i170.photobucket.com/albums/u260/LordNinja2007/The%20Legend%20of%20Hell%20House/th_Cena02.jpg</a>" /> FWIW Gayle Hunnicutt has been turning me turgid since '73 |

I remembered another one but cant recall the title.
Basically it was black and white with a few people maybe scientists or such at a big house or complex. There were these things that came out of the water with goggle eyes and black wetsuits . They scared the crap out of me when I was 9 or 10. Still can see those creepy guys coming out of the water. |

A Jerry Lewis movie when I was very young. In the movie he gets chased by some automatic lawnmowers , I DID TOO IN MY DREAMS.

Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: My Bloody Valentine. I snuck into the living room and watched HBO while my parents slept. I had to have been 4 or 5. I couldn't sleep for a few nights afterward and had to come clean, lol. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile Wait... you were 4 or 5 by the time it was on HBO... are you talking about some other version than the 2009 one I'm thinking of, or are you just really young? Haha, the '09 version was a horrible remake of the, even worse, original. I'm 34... Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile ROFL! Ok, makes more sense that way! |

I watched "The Shining" with some chicks in college. Then we all spent the night there, because they were afraid to leave.

Pet Semetary. I watched it once and I won't go near it again. I don't feel that way about any other movie.

The Shuttered Room
60s horror movies shouldn't be watched by young kids late at night |
|
Jaws. I was 10 years old and we spent summers at my grandparent's beach house..... |

Fucking Wolfen! came out in 1981 filmed in the Bronx on 172 st, saw it at the movie theatre near time square guess where I lived 169st south bronx! I walked right past that church in the movie at 11 pm with my mom. I was pulling her the whole way, I really almost peed myself out of fear!!! Fuck that movie twice and the fog too.

Jaws. To this day, I cannot watch anything about sharks.
Quoted:
To scare the ever loving crap out of you. Watching Poltergeist right now, saw in the theater when it came out, went home and slept with the lights on. How about you? |

Quoted: The Witches (1990). Based on a Roald Dahl children's novel. Looks innocent enough, right? http://www.ledbyexample.com/tmovies/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/the-witches-.jpg WRONG! I was 7. It truly horrified me. These hideous bald women walk around with masks on and try to seduce and murder little kids by giving them candy and shit. Angelica Huston still scares me. I still give my mom a hard time about it. http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mb9avrQtDu1qgcra2o1_500.gif http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ltooyo3PAh1qa9wmko1_500.gif http://i2.listal.com/image/3926166/600full-the-witches-screenshot.jpg Great book, very memorable movie. Loved it. |
