What movies scared you (as a kid) ?

[Den82]

I saw movies as a child, no child should see.

The ones that screwed me up most

Hills Have Eyes

Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2

I slept with a light on for YEARS because of this 1 movie. Didn't see the first 1 until years later and I used to avoid just seeing the video box in the video store, because it just told me it was far worse than the second.

Saw bits and pieces of Evil Dead.

House on Haunted Hill and 13 Ghosts terrified me.

I didn't see the Exorcist, but I remember coming attractions for it on HBO and I wouldn't dare even think about tying to see it.

Ironically, most of these films went on to become my favorites.

I always thought Horror at 37,000 ft was creepy...

[bleit1701]

The original Salems Lot just plain creeps me out. Even today.

Halloween too. Though more then than now. They are so quiet it's eerie.

People under the Stairs and House of 1000 corpses are both just not right. Which also makes them creep fests.

The Exorcist
Tourist Trap (odd B-movie)
Poltergeist

>A LOWWWW budget horror film titled Equinox.

When I was a kid that one freaked out a lot of my friends.

Without any doubt, the original Halloween movie and an old 1978 movie called 'Summer of Fear' with Linda Blair. I actually bought it on DVD awhile back and still haven't watched it.

TV:

Twilight Zone episodes like Please read Nightmare at 20,000 Feet, To Serve Man, and The Eye of the Beholder.

Triogly of Terror (part three)...Karen Black and wooden crazy little Indian doll.


Film:

Nosferatu 1922
Phantom of the Opera 1925
Wizard of Oz (good call, guys)
Creature From The Black Lagoon (the scariest Universal monster movie for me as a kid)
The Thing from Another World
Night of the Living Dead 1968 (I'm shocked no one has mentioned this one)
Planet of the Apes (I was six, and the dead female astronaut scared the crap outta me, so did the apes, lol)
Exorcist

[Goblin19]

Horror Hotel, Count Yorga, and Salem's Lot top my list.

Did anyone mention the TV movie "The Day After" yet?

I just remembered that one actually kept me up some nights even years after I saw it:
The Day After (TV 1983) - IMDb

[thunderbolt]

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.

Yeah, that's the one. Made the year I was born, too.

I remember being really scared watching the original tv broadcast of The Fog back in the eighties.

[torgospizza]

Nosferatu 1922

Best vampire movie ever made, IMO.

Definitely the scariest for sure.
