Many when I was very young. The first Nightmare on Elm Street, I found this one quite disturbing. I was less bothered by things like Friday the 13th but something about Freddy was very disturbing.
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake with Jessica Biel is probably the most intense horror movie I've seen in a long time.

I think I would have been scared badly by
The Ring if I didn't see
Scary Movie 3 before it. :smile:
CROWHAVEN FARM and the John Schlesinger film THE BELIEVERS scared me spitless. :buggedout: :buggedout: :buggedout:

What a waste! After Blair Witch (I saw it early when there was still some debate about whether the film really was just found) I thought I'd never be scared again. I was a jaded twenty something, but I almost looked away in the theater.
The original Don't Be Afraid Of The Dark from 1973. I stayed upto watch it when it premiered on ABC's Saturday Night Movie, right after The Partridge Family and what an experience.
Of course, now that it's almost 40 years later, I think it's one of the most dated films out there, but it still holds a bit of scare power and a great classic example of what made 1970's era TV horror the pot of gold that it was. Highly recommended!

Agreed. That was one terrifying movie. Quite unexpected in a made-for-tv movie back then, particularly the down beat ending.

Haha, now we're cookin' with gas.... :smile:
Nice clip, pretty good looking too. The copy of the film I got at Chiller Theatre awhile back looks good too, but this clip looks like it might have had some remastering.
About time too. This movie needs a domestic DVD release, if one dosen't already exist.
Jaws, Poltergeist and the first Nightmare On Elm Street scared me the most. Probably because I was just a little kid when I saw them.
Not a movie, but there was an episode of this show called Tales From The Darkside that scared me so bad I couldn't sleep at all that night. It was about this creature that lived in the closet of the room a girl was renting. That one really creeped me out.

I believe the Turner Classic Movies website may be selling copies :/
It was a old hindi movie of bollywood
Name Virana
It really scared me
The latest movie to freak me out a bit was Hard Candy. Man I did NOT see that coming. But the only movie that genuinley gave me nightmares was The Exorcist. At the ripe old age of 8 I was at the theater, bored with the Apple Dumpling Gang or some such, and I wandered into the theater showing The Exorcist. I slept with the lights on for a month. To this day I can't watch any "possession" type movies.
As a youth up till about 15 pretty much any horror flick scared me. One in particular:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4eNeCcKt8jw
Once I learned about how special effects were made I suddenly figured out, "Hey, it's just a movie! All that blood is fake!" The scare went away. But I still enjoy those movies.
I know we covered this before in the past but the ones that scared me most were when I was younger.
Salem's Lot and the 70s Dracula had been seriously creeped out by vampires and caused many a nightmare leading to me curling up in bed with the sheets wrapped close to my neck somehow feeling safer once I did that (and of course never ever leaving a window open).
Predator caused me to have a recurring nightmare where I was being hunted night after night by some unseen monster.
Poltergeist: The tree and the clown seriously freaked me out.
Close Encounters: when the little door opens the door, I was terrified what might be behind it.
Star Trek: "The Galileo Seven" The primitive giants in this episode got me to hide my head under the covers and occasionally peep out to see what was going on...
I'll never live this shame down....
Deep Blue Sea scared the jeepers out of me as a tyke. The scene where Samuel L. Jackson gets eaten, that perfect timing? Funny as hell. Everything else...-cringes-. Too gruesome, in a way that wasn't fun at all.
Oddly, none of the Jaws films ever scared me.
The getting on the bus scene in Carnvial of Souls was terrifying. :bluesad:
But pretty much the film is nightmare fuel.

Possession movies....the one that did it for me was
Beyond The Door and let me tell ya' mate...I still sleep with a light or two on now and then when I think of this one. To hear the name of the movie alone makes me shiver.
The whole movie had a very authentic feeling of evil to it, and Juliet Mills looked so hateful and vile when she was possessed.
And when she looks at the doctor and does her famous "Whoooooo-are-youuuuuu" bit, that's enough to scare anyone.
The film may have had it's dull moments, but the possession scenes more that make up for it, and they are very chilling sequences. The opening speech by the devil as he addresses the audience makes you uneasy as well. See this one if you dare...
The Ring still fraeks me out, although not nearly as much as when I was a kid. After seeing it on DVD I had a lot of trouble getting to sleep.

Actually, I find most J-Horror disturbing not in the scary way but in the how can you contort the human body like that way. Always creeps me out. I will agree the scene is creepy.
When I was a kid the movie IT, and Tim Curry's makeup scared the bejesus out of me. Pretty embarrassing, looking back the movie is pretty cheesy.
Black Christmas - i've said this before, but i saw this before it was released on dvd so i didn't know what to expect and ho-lee s**t was it terrifying!
Maniac - brutal, grim, unrelenting, downbeat, AWESOME!
Hospital Massacre - REALLY cheesy when i watch it now, but when i was a kid, hospital movies really creeped me out.
When I was little, The Monster That Challenged the World and Teenagers from Outer Space. And anything involving injury to women's breasts would give me nightmares.
When I got older, The Exorcist, Jaws and Alien. When the devil screamed out 'Marin!' in The Exorcist, I jumped so bad I hit my head on the roof of the car.
The Ring scared the crap out of me when I was 20ish. I'm still a little leary of staticy TV's :buggedout:
The Shining really scared me when I first saw it. The scene where a guy was in a bear costume especially disturbed me, because it was just so random.
Also as a child the poster for Little Monsters scared me. I had no idea what it was about but Maurice (Howie Mandel) just spooked me. Then I saw the movie and realized his character was a good guy, and the fear subsided. Still... I have an innate fear of Mandel and can't watch Deal or No Deal. :buggedout:
