SILLY movies that TERRIFIED us as kids...

Now I know that this will sound silly, but I remember being scared of going to stay at a hotel when my mom and dad would go on bowling tournaments during the winter because the smoke coming out of the stack reminded me of Gigglesnort Hotel and the dragon who was always shoveling coal.

Of course even sillier yet is the fact that every time I went to Burger Chef-yes before they became Hardees around here- i was scared my hamburger would turn into a little talking hamburger guy like the one on the show The Magic Door.

Ok, I just remembered another movie that gave me nightmares when I was little; The Cat Creature. I don't remember much other than that it had something to do with a mummy. I was always terrified of dead things coming back to live (mummies, zombies, skeletons) and the one glimpse I saw of the mummy was enough to give me nightmares for a week.

The Yip Yips gave me nightmares.   SCARY.

"Island of Terror" with Peter Cushing. Diden't get any sleep THAT night!

[Chadzilla]

Same here Flange, same here.

The H-Man freaked me out too, just something about DISSOLVING and leaving your clothes behind really creeped me out, couldn't finish the dang thing either.

Fiend Without a Face and The First Man Into Space (the one were the dude becomes a crusty vampire) scared me pretty badly too.  And Attack of the Giant Leeches, the slurping sounds, oh GOD!  No wonder I'm terrified of slimey things.

Beware the Blob freaked me out and sent me running from my bedroom.

And some scary advertisements to...

The freaking glaring possessed people in the Beyond the Door ads gave me nightmares, as did the endless turning cradle commercials for It's Alive.  And The Food of the Gods, oh man, that giant rat gnoshing on the dead chick's arm in the tree.  That was so horrifying I flat out refused to see the movie.

Invaders From Mars did! Guy wrote about it at really scary.com

Invisible Invaders freaked me out too. Aliens take over the bodies of dead people turning them into zombies, which played right into my fear of dead things.

Poltergiest........... specifically that evil Clown. To this day I hate clowns with a passion.

I've gone between disliking and loathing clowns.  Never could stand them, even when I saw Ringling Bros. Barnum & Bailey circus.  Their make up creeped me out as a kid more than zombie makeup.  What's the deal with all the white-face, it isn't as though they're trying to be non-humans (like zombies, werewolves, etc.)

And while it's not  a silly movie, the ending of Carrie really freaked me out the first time I saw it.  It even unnerved me years later when I saw it on tv, and knew it was coming.

My aunt would agree with that. Clowns freak her out!

i remember this movie scaring the s**t out of me as a child, then i rented it a few years ago, and it was totally lame
actually the first half wasn't so bad, but the ending was super terrible...

Killer Klowns from Outer Space. I loved clowns untill I saw this movie it scared the crap out of me. Little SHop of Horrors loved this movie but that giant freaking plant scared me as did Childs Play. I had a My Little Buddy Doll which I buried in the backyard after seeing this movie.
