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.

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.

Never. They were blissful entertainment to me, and I always knew they were just movies.
It's the things portrayed in movies that exist in real life (sharks, boogeymen) that scare me. The one movie I've seen that gave me the heebie-jeebies was 'Haute Tension,' a 2003 French film that doesn't stray far from the classic boogeyman theme, but really got under my skin. |

"It" was one I remember freaking me out. Around the same time I saw a foreign made movie that involved men wearing clown masks that robbed and killed people, including children. That and John Wayne Gacy turned me off on clowns, fuck them heathens.
But the one movie that really freaked me out I saw in my teens and it woke me up to the realities of true real life horror and what the ordinary guy next door was capable of. That movie was "Henry: A Portrait of a serial Killer" |

I do have to admit, ever since then I have yet to find a movie that I would call scarry. Alien had me on the edge of my seat 
Poltergeist had good effects (for the time) 
Arachnophobia was funny 
Exorcist was mundane 
Friday the 13/Halloween/Nightmare canadits for MST3K 
Phantasim was twisted but rocked 
And Stephen King SUCKS

When Large Marge in "Pee Wee's Big Adventure" went all crazy, it scared the shit out of me so bad the one time I saw it that I have not watched it since. That was 20 plus years ago.

Quote HistoryQuoted: The Exorcist. It caused me to pile into my parents bed for 3 months after seeing it. It still creeps me the fuck out and I don't like to watch it. LOL. I was hanging with my 16 year-old niece for a week while my brother and his new bride were on their honeymoon. One night I asked her what kinds of movies she liked. She glibly said, "I like gory movies, you know horror movies - the gorier and nastier the better." So I asked her if she'd ever seen 'The Exorcist.' She said, "Nope!" Game on... The next morning she got up and said, "I hate you! I hate you and I hate that movie!! I kept hearing things in the attic, and when I finally did fall asleep with the lights on, I had nightmares that I was the devil." Hehehehehe....Old School horror gets another one. Movies like 'Saw," and 'Hostel' are fun little diversions. The Exorcist is a true horror classic. |

The Beast with Five Fingers 1946 - Peter Lorre was just too creepy for me
The Tingler 1959 
The Village of the Damned 1960 
As you can see, we were easily scared out of our willys back then. |

Arachnophobia. Gave zero fucks about spiders before that movie. Saw it 20+ years ago, still hate spiders. That movie scarred me. Samsies - watched it with an adult who thought it'd be funny if he grabbed my head when a spider jumped onto a guys face - had problems with spiders ever since. Before that it was Little mermaid - purple witch freaked me out. After that it was event horizon - one truly disturbing movie. |

Not quite a horror movie but the scene from The Strangers at the end where the family is tied up in chairs and the invaders slowly stab each one with a kitchen knife. That part is so fucked up and haunts me.

"Children Shouldn't Play With Dead Things"
Scared the shit out of me when I was little (think 6 yo). Many sleepless nights and nightmares. I rented it a few years ago and laughed my ass off. Here's the trailer on YouTube. Here (The movie didn't have the goofy music that's in the trailer.) |

Them. About the giant ants killing/eating people out in the southwest. Radioactivity from nuclear bomb testing was the cause. Scared the crap out of me for years between the dark and the noises.
