Today that does nothing to me, not even a eww...

As a kid (early 80's) - that scared the crap out of me. I remember that too well.

Actually any film that has the central character going psycho crazy and starts killing people because they are mentally unstable scares the hell out of me. These sort of movies scare me way more than the Monster flicks like Dracula and Frankenstein.

     There's a short story by the late Richard Matheson, called Graveyard Shift, that scared the latkes out of me as a twelve year old, still scared me silly when I was thirty-three, and would probably still work on me at fifty-eight.

     If you can find it, it's worth the search.

If it's true what they say, that GOD created us in His image, then why should we not love creating, and why should we not continue to do so, as carefully and ethically as we can, on whatever scale we're capable of?

     The choice is simple; refuse to create, and refuse to grow, or build, with care and love.

Things that creeped me out....and most still do:

Sleeping in a room with no drapes or shades

The voice of "Hal" from 2001:A Space Odyssey

The Snapping Turks from "Yellow Submarine"

The "FBI Most Wanted" they used to run late at night....I imagined they were just outside my house

My own imaginations scared the hell out of me when I was a kid.
I remember visiting a local museum with my class and they had a small part about witches etc. with some blurry photos and drawings.
That made me believe in your stereotypical evil witches so much, that I couldn't sleep all night and was scared s**tless. The thunderstorm that was happening that night didn't really help.
Same basically happened after watching the movie "Fire in the Sky" about Alien Abductions.

Nowadays there aren't really things anymore that can scare me. I still kinda believe in Aliens, Ghosts etc, but only because I like the idea, that there is something else outthere.

Another 2 good entries into the juvenile scare dept. for me were the original Don't Be Afraid Of The Dark which I got to see when it first premiered on ABC sometime around '73 or '74, and the original 1968 Night Of The Living Dead which I also saw at a young age.

Making it worse for me with NOTLD was the fact that the TV version on ABC 7 had the "dramatized" newscast and I was too young to know that that meant that it was fake even though the word 'dramatization" flashed on the bottom of the screen.  My dad was asleep on the floor next to me as I watched it, and I still was scared to death. And when the dead started smashing their way in at the end, I was afraid it might happen to me..

The face-peeling scene in V: The Original Mini-Series scared the crap outta me as a kid. Less so nowadays as an adult but that scene still impresses. In general transformations kind of freaked me out back then...remember I was scared by the computer-merger with the woman in Superman III too. Clowns definitely scare me too. Suspect they scare most everyone. The general atmosphere of parks after dark is spooky too especially creepy dead trees. Poltergeist was scary for the clown and the tree...even the TV...

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.

    Lesson Learned:
    • Osmosis: os·mo·sis (oz-mo'sis, os-) n., 1. When a bird eats something.
