Scariest Movie You Saw Under The Age Of 12?

[artskull]

I don't know the title of this movie and I havent seen it for close to 40 years, but man when I did see it some scenes scared me bigtime.

It was black and white (probably low budget)

It had devil worshippers.

Most outstanding thing I can remember was a giant devil coming down railroad tracks at night.

The giant devil appeared a few times (I think) ... usually surrounded by a cloud or smoke

I think you're remembering Night of the Demon (Curse of the Demon) directed by Jacques Tourneur. Simply one of the BEST horror movies ever.

I went to see Jaws when I was 11 (my aunt took me and my cousin). I don't believe we realised how scary that movie was to a couple of 11 year olds in "75. I still remember every time that music started, you could see half the people in the aisle pulling their legs up into the seats (to keep away from the shark!) JOHN

to quote Matt Hooper "I got that beat" but not my much

I was 4 it was a drive in movie and 2 weeks we were at the jersey shore. My brother said he felt something brush against his leg. my Mom thought he was playing a joke (we were infamous for rubber snakes and mice in the cupboards). he felt it again and told Mom and she said "if you think it's funny to trick me we're getting out of the water" which would have been a real punishment. as we got closer to the waterline 2 guys who had been golfing came running down the beach into the surf past us to club a 3 foot shark that was behind my brother to death (they had seen the fin behind him). It was probably sick or a docile species (like a sand shark) but in 75 Sharks were evil. Mom felt Terrible and shockingly I wouldn't go into the ocean again for a decade

Without a doubt it was Jaws for me. I had just finished 4th grade heading into fifth that year and boy Jaws freaked me out. I went to see it with my dad. I can clearly remember wanting to leave the theater after I saw the Great White drag that swim instructor underwater. I was absolutely panicked. No film has ever scared me like that. My parents had to make me take a freakin' bath after two days of refusing. The very notion of seeing the surface of water scared me.I guess you could say I was traumatized by it. Of course now it's one of my all time favorites. I think that's true for alot of people. Anything that scares you, ends up fascinating you.

When I was nine, my cousins showed me both The Exorcist and Poltergeist on the same weekend when I was nine. Sick people. But they also showed me Monty Python's And Now For Something Completely Different, so I've forgiven them.

Not a movie per se, but I was TERRIFIED of the Thriller video when it first came out; I was 10.

I remember seein the Night Gallery re-run of the "Cool Air" episode around age
11 and being really terrified. That ending, whew!

Also, the "Prey" segment in Trilogy of Terror--that may have been first-run. The Zuni doll was sooo frightening, I kept thinking it would be creeping around my room at night.

Anybody remember the Japanese Film MATANGO!

aka Gilligan's Island on Mushrooms...

[Adam West]

Again first truly scary movie was "The Birds"...I was also scared of "Creature from the Black Lagoon" for some reason and WOZ when I was younger. When I was about 13 or 14 I saw "Cujo" with my cousin who got me in. I wasn't scared at all. I have had dogs all my life and couldn't imagine a dog acting that way.

>people tried to get off the island by tying metal barrels together

Sounds like "The Killer Shrews."

I'll never remember the name of the film, it was only a one word title, but it's about some seriously mutated baby. It was about 1979 or so I think. I remember this horribly disfigured infant crawling down a narrow corridor trying to get to some helpless chick. Someone please confirm that this movie exists and I didn't create it in some nightmare.

Plot sounds like "It's Alive" from '74?

^Y'know, I actually dig that movie--decent pseudo-science, and the disguised dogs are not that bad.

Didn't the same guys do "The Giant Leeches"?
