Movies That Scared You?

[Nightowl]

Nightmare On Elm Street 3 scared me so much that I was afraid to go to the bathroom

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.

Ahh, welcome to Prime Time, Nightowl.

There was something so bowel churningly creeeepy about that scene.

I think I would have been scared badly by The Ring if I didn't see Scary Movie 3 before it.

CROWHAVEN FARM and the John Schlesinger film THE BELIEVERS scared me spitless.

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.

The Exorcist (1973)
The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974)

Haha, now we're cookin' with gas....  

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 :/
