Re: films that scared you
 
When I was about 10 or 11, my dad packed us off to bed early because he wanted to watch a film. He'd been going on about it all day and was determined not to miss it because of us messing around. I dutifully went to bed and feigned sleep for a little while before creeping out of the bedroom. I waited for my dad to go into the kitchen before creeping back into the living room and tucking myself behind the sofa.

The film was Psycho.... and I gave myself away during the shower scene when I screeched....:rolleyes: Needless to say, I was not in the good books. My dad let me watch the rest of the film and I was too frightened to sleep that night. My dad said that it was hard luck, and if I wanted to watch films that give me nightmares then I deserved a sleepless night.

To this day I have never watched Psycho again. I would probably not find it scary now, but I did back then..:D

White Noise i get scared of that kind of stuff because i know that the gorey stuffs not real but i dont know if the unknown is real so that kind of scares me!

And 13 Ghosts when daddiboo fell asleep and it was dark and i had to wake him up to put the light on.

And this film about the toothfairy that was so scary when daddiboo fell asleep in the dark and i had to ring my mummy because i was soo scared!! lol im sooo daft i have to watch but scared to death really.

If the scary film im watching scares me then it must be good because thats what it set out to do.

Films that are gorey dont bother me at all because that just wont happen and why do they always run upstairs im mean i would be straight out of the door not heading my way up the stairs!!!

The Exorcist, when the priest flew out of the window, Scarface, when they cut a bloke up alive with a chainsaw in the bath, handcuffed to the shower rail.
Tongue in cheek, some old wedding 33mm films, that should have gone in the skip:D

The only slightly scary bit in that was when it was discovered that the green biscuits were made out of dead people.

i think it was the boddies wrapped in polythene that scared me at the time,,i had a fear of plastic bags over the face,,,it was a long time ago.and probably if i saw it again it would seem very tame..
it was the same with the beast with five fingers,i was scared at the first time i saw it,then years later i saw it again and i cracked up laughing....

Lettie, I bet you scared the bejesus out of him!:eek:

The problem with Jaws was it took place (the setting) about 30 miles from where we went to the beach most every weekend. It was pretty freeky and all but we all loved body-surfing to stay out.

As for Scarface Ian, I rather enjoy seeing all the bad guys knock each other off . . .BOO!:D

I don't find Horror films scarey, but when I was young Iron Side used to give me nightmares. I don't know why.

Dont get scared by films, Hammer House of Horror used to freak me out when I was younger and Tales of the Unexpected could be a bit creepy.

Psycho does it for me every time - perhaps because it is believable - it could happen.
