Movies that freaked you out as a kid...

[kingdom warrior]

The zombie movie "Children shouldn't play with Dead things"....gave me the creeps

Salom's Lot - when the kid came floating up to window

That show Had me seriously Freaked out by Vampires as a Kid..., It was the only thing I was afraid of until around 13. Man was that creepy. No Joke,. I was stealing my Mom's Garlic & Sleeping with it. As well as , when I went to sleep,.. I would make sure the covers were above my neck,.. I thought Vampires could not touch me with my neck covered.

When My son was born... Invasion of the Body Snatchers got me ,.. as far as the idea goes.. A few different times in sleep... Something about the Plesenta & one of those pods,.. they look so similar...

Zombies,.. & working Graveyrds,.. getting on calls in the middle of the woods at 2 am don't work well either.

... I seriously need to stop watching stuff like this.

The original Dawn of the Dead, Exorcist, Halloween and The Witch all made an impression on me rather than creeped me out...although I did have plenty of nightmares about zombies for a while.

Believe it or not Star Wars. I was about 7 or 8 when it came out. Spent most of the movie in the bathroom.

The Jaws bit where the head pops out of the boat, like Grayhank said, I didn't go swimming in the sea for years! The Wizard of Oz flying monkeys creeped me out. I also had knightmares about the Planet of The Apes Gorillas hunting for me.

For creeping me out when I was a kid....
Those mid 60's Godzilla movies where he was good and had that puppy dog head with the big eyes.
I have no idea why, but he scared me more being good and looking like that.

[The Bat]

Well...when I was real little, it was..."It: The Terror From Beyond Space".

I was mortally afraid of the Wicked Witch from "The Wizard of Oz" as a child. I was a freshman in high school before I ever sat and watched the entire film. When I was around 5 or 6 I saw "The Blob" for the first time and had nightmares for weeks. I mean, what's scarier than a freakin' monster that can slither through the tiniest crack or crevice to gobble you up in your sleep? I remember being majorly creeped out by the TV commercials for the movie "Frogs" in the early 70's. Actually, pretty much any horror movie commercial scared me back then. I was a real wuss as a kid, unlike the manly man I am now

Saw Alien when I was eight and my brother was six, our cousins took us to it instead of another movie that they told our parents we were seeing.

Not a good idea!

I cant think of ever being freaked out by a movie. I watched Alien when I was 10 and have loved horror movies ever since. However, I had a book of movie monsters when I was a kid. There was a picture of the Phantom of the Opera that just gave me the shivers. I saw it once and for some reason, whenever I looked at the book again I had to make sure i skipped that page. Never quite understood the fear of that one.

My Uncle took me to see the Legend of Boggy Creek. I was 13 and it did creep me out even though it was in reality a low budget B movie!

That night I recreated a seen in my Uncles bedroom. I set up a trip wire at the door to release the window shade. He screamed like crazy at midnight when he went to bed!

This classic 1970's drive-in film is a must for all Bigfoot and cryptozoology fans! If you don't like 1970's films, low low budget films then stay clear from this. Go watch Harry Potter instead. The creepy swamp scenery at the start of the picture, lack of a budget, non-existant acting, and glimpses of a man in an ape suit makes this late night gem a real joy to watch!! Good for viewing in the dark. Much better than Sasquatch: The Untold. UGH!

Poltergeist. That clown, the tree that ate the kid, the swimming pool full of corpses, Joebeth williams in her underwear in the ceiling, the steak and maggots and face peeling off.

[Goblin19]

Horror Hotel and Salem's Lot stand out. I saw The Shining when I was a luittle bit older, maybe 11 or 12, and the twins freaked me out.

[MegoMonk]

There is a scene in Jaws when Richard Dreyfus finds a boat that belongs to his freind floating around. He dives to take a closer look. When he looks closer, his freind's head pops out and an eye pops out of the head. That scene kept me awake for a few days.
