Movies that scared the crap out of you as a kid

[Menard]

Well, so long as we are dredging up the past, so to speak.

Hush...Hush, Sweet Charlotte creeped me out as a kid.

For me it was Green Slime.  I saw it twice as a child and both times couldn't get past the point just before the creature is revealed.  I had to wait until I was in my early teens to be able to stick with it. When I finally did get past that point, I laughed at how silly the monster was.

Children of the Corn....I think I was about 5?  Couldn't go near a cornfield for a decade.  My Dad used to threaten me with that as a punishment on family trips to Iowa.  

Move to Texas...father in law tells me he'd like to wish me to the cornfield.  Recurring theme in my life, I suppose.

Evil Dead II...what's more, I didn't actually even get to SEE it! My parent's had rented it when it came out on VHS and decided I couldn't watch it with them. I listened to the movie from my room in the dark, and tried to picture what was going on...My mind was in overdrive let me tell you.

I was very easy to scare back then, and I remember only imagining how a movie (i.e. Alien) was turned me mad. I remember being scared by the original "Invaders from Mars", though. That sand whirlwind was very, very, scary, and so was the scene in a parking lot when we notice the character of the father has changed.

The original BLOB....now i sing along with the theme song...

OMG... Two things, The scene in Superman 3 where that women gets pulled into the supercomputer and becomes this... machine-thing. I had nightmares about it.

The other was Prophecy (yeah, the one on this website)... I kept having dreams about running through the woods, with that bear thing chasing me. Brrrrrrr!

Dreamscape.

The snakeman from that movie screwed me up somethin' fierce.

For some reason I was also terrified by the cyclops from Krull.
