The 80's remakes of The Blob & The Fly. I used to run from the TV when The Fly II commercial came on. To this day I still haven't seen it. Not cause it scares me now but because I'm pretty sure it sucks. The other one that got me was Nightmare on Elm Street. I used to thank God that the street I lived on wasn't Elm! Today those movies are just silly.

Lots of movies scared me, but The Exorcist really haunted me afterward - even the Mad Magazine version freaked me out to the point that I couldn't read it all - for some reason.

the shining

hands down. I couldn't get through the whole movie until I was in college. Those little girls still scare the bejeezuz out of me.

Didn't we discuss this once before? Or am I having a Twilight Zone moment?

The Haunting.

Robot Monster. I had nightmares from this one.

Of course the television shows Thriller, The Outer Limits, and One Step Beyond affected me greatly too.

[Iron Mego]

The Exorcist for sure. It played nearly uncut on network TV in the early 80s and it scared the poopy out of me.

And before When A Stranger Calls became a movie that story was an urban legend. One of my older cousins told it to a bunch of us and I'm pretty sure I didn't sleep for a week. I wouldn't see the movie for a LONG time.

I remember seeing Helter Skelter on TV as a kid, and it wigged me out pretty bad.

[Werewolf]

Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. An all around disturbing movie and those Oompa-Loompas are creepy as hell.

[Brad]

I forgot to add Jaws! Scared the heck out of me and I had no desire to ever go swimming in the ocean after seeing it.
