    Okay, I was seven years old. Not sure how I even was able to watch this, but Food of the Gods freaked me out. Well, the giant rats and wasps did, not really what's in this clip.

    Also, Kingdom of the Spiders. I'm not an arachnaphobe so to speak. Idividually, I think spiders are cool, independent creatures. Put ten thousand of them in a group and then I'm in full freak out mode. I still can't watch this film even for Shatner.
    I almost had a psychic girlfriend but she dumped me before we met.

    If anyone here believes in psychokinesis, please raise my hand.

      I was at boarding school at the age of 11, our house master used to show us all types of films that we shouldnt be watching at our age, but the one that got me was "salems lot" I remember I couldnt sleep for months, and I had my bed next to the window. LOL

          Gargoyles, 1972, haven't thought about that movie in a long time. I don't remember much about it at all, except checking under my bed for a while after.lol
          That and Jaws.

              Hmmmm....

              I was a weird kid; horror movies didn't scare me. (I used to root for the monsters. Make of that what you will....) But there was ONE that freaked me right out, and I don't know why. I THINK it was called "The Raven" and was about a dude who was a giant were-bird.

                Forgot the title, it involved creatures that sucked the bones out of people. When they were chopped open with an axe they were full of spaghetti.

                    The Wizard of Oz scared the living daylights out me when I was really little. No lie.

                      I think that was: Island of Terror w/Peter Cushing.

                      Island of Terror (1966) - IMDb

                      Baron Blood. Attack of the Moonbeast, Terror Train, Gargoyles, 1972, The Crawling Eye, Dawn of the Dead, lots of Lost In Space episodes used to scare me.

                      There's one I can't remember the title of where the people on this island couldn't get on a raft and escape to sea because there were some tiny creatures that were in the water and they would get thru the wood and devour you. They were portrayed like radioactive glowing particles.

                        I don't why but this William Castle/Sid Caesar comedy gave me nightmares.

                        And..


                        I remember covering my eyes and going in the next room when they showed the subjects who'd been "mutated " by the teleporter. Now I can see it is a very mild scene.

                            Wizard of Oz, and my older brother took me to see 'Tommy' when I was young.. The sight of all the abusive Uncles and Tina as the Acid Queen was a bit much at a young age.

                              Maggy has never seen The Wizard of Oz! When she told me this I thought she was kidding with me since she is 40 years old. I told her I would make her watch it someday just because. I have a version on VHS that is synched up to Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon so maybe I'll show her that one.

                                A LOWWWW budget horror film titled Equinox. I was so scared I couldn't sleep for a few days. I would wake up in sweating terror. I tracked it down a few years ago and it is ABSURD! It was filmed by some college kids on a $200 budget and it shows.
