WHO FREAKED YOU OUT?

i remeber something else that was freaky.  In Excalibur there is a scence with several knights hanging from a tree, long since dead, with a vulture pecking on of their eyes out.  Speaking of which the Birds had some pretty freaky moments too.

This thread has evolved a long way from who freaked you out to what freaked you out, but I love every word of it.  The scene you describe from EXCALIBUR is deliciously gruesome; I realize now this is a strange secret favorite film of mine; I think it's Percival who witnesses that . . . no? 

John Boorman also directed HELL IN THE PACIFIC, DELIVERANCE, ZARDOZ, HOPE AND GLORY . . .  some real good stuff! 

yes, then he ends up on the tree.

The character of Janos Skorzeny in THE NIGHT STALKER; forgot about him, but he freaked me out, especially with those eyes!

I saw Legend as a kid and the only thing I retained from the movie wasn't Timothy Leary as Darkness, but Meg f*cking Mucklebones. I had this weird dream that involved two guys in a rowboat pointing to the window of the Bates house, seeing "mother"'s shadow, then screaming as Meg comes up from the water and drags them both screaming into the swamp... Second most disturbing nightmare of my life.

Tim Curry . . . ? 
I kind of like your nightmare, tombofanubis.com , it's very nicely edited.  I'd be interested to hear your #1 most disturbing nightmare.  It'd be an interesting idea for a thread, too . . .

Start it and I'll be sure to share one or two of my own . . . tombofanubis's dream with the Bates house and Meg Mucklebones was very cool and movie related.

i have remebered another freaky part of a movie.  Has anyone seen Candyman?  That part where she wakes up in a ghetto home full of blood with a woman screaming at her and dog skinned is extremely creepy.

Freddy Krueger in the first Nightmare on Elm Street movie, yeah Jason an Leatherface were kind of scary but you could get away from them, not Freddy...this cat can get you in your dreams,in your home, in your safe little bed and there is little you can do about it

And the other movie was Return of the Living Dead we went to see this in the theater when it was released and we went to the "Midnight Matinee" showing at the local theater well needless to say up till that point i was comfortable with the shambling Romero zombies...this movie blew that right outta the water these zombies were fast, strong, and wickedly intelligent, the whole scene with the half corpse on the exam table was very freaky.

I'm almost never freaked out by movies, but when I first saw RotLD I was probably 14, it was 1am on a Saturday night, and I had fallen asleep in a recliner earlier while watching Children of the Corn 3 when it was still light out. I woke up with no lights on right around the part when the tar zombie makes his first appearance. It freaked me right the f*ck out and I watched the rest of the movie with my heart in my throat. It's since become one of my favorite movies and, as Kroogur said, it turned the zombie concept on it's ear.

The boy/girl at the end of Sleepaway Camp scared me as a kid. Now that I think back on it, it probably just weirded me out.

Did a sympathetic or anti-hero character freak you out? 

John Hurt as THE ELEPHANT MAN (1980) freaked me out.  I sat thru one of the recent TCM showings and still find "John" Merrick's appearance upsetting (the real-life man was actually Joseph Merrick, an error in scholarship uncorrected at the time when David Lynch made this masterpiece).  The makeup is accurate check it out here:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Merrick
