    I'm one of those (too) who doesn't really get scared by horror movies, not even way back. Helter Skelter was the only movie I saw in my youth that I can remember being disturbed by.

    As for fictional movies, the scariest experience I can remember followed my 2nd or 3rd viewing of "It's Alive". It wasn't the movie itself, but what happened afterward. (I watched it on cable...The "Z" Channel). After it was over, my Mom asked me to carry something over to the lady across the street, it was about 7:30 at night and it was dark & cold. We had a 4 foot high hedge that bordered the length of our south property line.

    While walking over to the other house I heard some rustling coming out from under the hedge, which wasn't that unusual, and I laughed to myself and thought, "Ooooo..."It's" going to get me". On my way back, when I was parallel again with our hedge, there was a sudden shrieking screech that sent chills running through me. Two cats were fighting it out under the bushes and one of them hit & sustained that god-awful ascending pitch that makes the hair stand up on the back of your neck. I remember picking up my pace, laughing out loud, and thinking, "That's what I get for laughing at little devil babies!"

      ^Cool story. I have a similar one, but it involves my mom.

      It was around Halloween, and I was spending the night at my friends' house up the street. My sister and her boyfriend were watching the original "Halloween" and my dad was out of town. My mom went outside to feed our dog, and someone ran past her in our backyard and on past into the lot behind it. My mom figured it was my sister's boyfriend so after nearly jumping out of her skin, she cursed after him. She came inside and gave him hell for scaring her. He swore he didn't do it.

      The next day when I got home, she blamed it on me and my friends. We also swore to our innocence. Later that day she heard that a man had robbed a gas station at knife-point a few blocks over, and had escaped by running across backyards for several miles!

      I can't watch "Halloween" without thinking of that story!
