1. Iris. Judy Dench.

This movie terrified me for very personal reasons.

2. The Exorcist

My parents took me to a theater to see it when I was 9. Horrible idea. Genuinely messed me up for years.
These are the same parents that chastised my older brother for taking me to see Jesus Christ Superstar because I was "too young".

19. Exorcist for me too. I cant listen to tubular bells either.

3. Watcher In the Woods

It traumatized the hell out of me as a 10 year old. I had issues looking in mirrors for years after seeing it. I still don’t like mirrors, or kids talking in low, creepy voices and writing backwards shit on dusty windows.

Might have to rewatch it and see if it’s a creepy as I remember.

ETA: Now I can’t get that stupid movie out of mind:



Eeep!

9. Same here

Scared the hell out of me

Love this thread

[BComplex]

10. Me, too! It was a great idea to give us new movie ideas when we need to get scared out of our

wits.

How dumb is THAT???

[Ocelot II]

14. Saw that in a theater, scared the bejeebers out of me.

There was that one scene where everybody in the theater screamed...

16. lol

6. As a kid, From Hell it Came

As an adult, No Country for Old Men. The bad guy in that was so evil I couldn’t watch when he was on screen.

7. 'Something Wicked This Way Comes'

So long ago I can't remember why, though

[UpInArms]

8. From when I was a kid ... the scariest movie

The Crawling Hand (1963)

The hand of a dead astronaut comes crawling back from the grave to strangle the living

Congratulations to all who have milestones today!

[Harker]

11. At the time... "Night of the Living Dead.". n/t

[NewHendoLib]

12. as a young child, The Birds. as an adult, The Shining or The Exorcist

[TomSlick]

18. I'm with you about The Birds as a child.

There has been nothing since that had quite the same impact. It scared the bejezus outta me.

[Niagara]

13. As a child, the scariest movie at the time for me

was Salem's Lot. It's considered a miniseries and not an actual movie, but that doesn't change the intensity on the spook-o-meter.

As an adult, I enjoy reading horror novels and watching the movies.




Congratulation to all on the milestones.

[Ocelot II]

15. Eraserhead and The Night of the Hunter.

Both were terrifying but in very different ways.

[Coventina]

17. The Shining. I didn't sleep for three nights afterwards.

I managed to cat-nap during the day, but all night I was watching fluffy movies for those three nights.

I specifically remember renting "An American in Paris" and "Beauty and the Beast" (the animated Disney one).

There were a bunch of others, but those are the two I remember.

I was in college, and housesitting for my great aunt.
