films that scared you
 
so I am sat here watching "Island of Dr Moreau"

I know that as a kid I saw this and it scared me ****less, now it still scares me for no reason whatsoever.

So, what did you see that you shouldn't that really scared you?

I know I've said this loads of times but the one that really does it for me is "Night of the Demon" and black and white film with Dana Andrews.

"The Moonspinners" has one scene that made me jump.

The Incredible Melting Man!

Scared the living daylights out of me. I went to see it with my mum and dad when I was about 13/14 then they dropped me off at home and popped out for a quick drink, which is something that the rarely did. Omg, I have never been so scared - I ended up phoning my Grandad so that I had someone to talk to. He was going to come over but my mum and dad came back - they'd been out for less than half an hour probably. I'd probably laugh at it now but omg, omg, omg!

Oh, and Dr Who!

Re: films that scared you
 
I can't remember the name of the episode but there was a series of scary stories on TV once introduced by David Buck. One was set in a library. I was watching it with my cousin, our parents were out for the evening. This spooky dead guy was tap tap tapping along the bookshelves and we were huddled together on the hearthrug watching by firelight when there came a tap tap tapping at the window! We both nearly leapt out of our skin! It was my mother. She said she hadn't wanted to startle us by making a loud noise at the front door!!! :rolleyes:

That last last scene from Carrie always makes me jump, but only films with spiders in scare me.

Re: films that scared you
 
When I was about seven, and my brother was five, the lady who was babysitting for us fell asleep. We let her carry on snoozing, and watched the film 'The Cat and the Canary' on television.

We were both really spooked by it, and for years afterwards agreed it was the most frightening film we had ever seen.

It was some time later in our teens, that what we thought was a horror film, we discovered was really a comedy starring Bob Hope.

Still at least when we eventually woke the sitter, she took us up to our bedrooms, and looked under our beds to make sure there were no bogey men lurking there.:D

Re: films that scared you
 
I dont like scary films and wont watch them at all - never seen carrie or psycho or any like that. Why? When i was a kid on tv on mondays at 8.30pm they used to have a 30 minute show it was something like hammer house of horrors - and that scared me something awful - never looked at nuns the same again.

Laughed my head off at arachnaphobia - mind you i was watching it with someone who was scared of spiders and everytime one came on screen he lifted a pillow to his face so halfway through the film he's sat there with the pillow over his face and i ran my fingers up his back! I hadnt seen someone move so fast and me - laughing my head off!!!!

The first "Texas Chainsaw massacre" scared the heck out of me.

Any film with Vincent Price,,,,his voice alone has a way of giving you the creeps.

Re: films that scared you
 
I hate to admit it but I'm a major wuss when it comes to anything the least bit horrorfying. Heck, I still get afarainfdof the bloody monkys in the Wizard of OZ!

I remeber when I was ~8 my dad got me up to watch a movie with him. It was usually war movies or western. Fo some bizarre reason he though I'd enjoy this one old movie that freeks me out to this day.

Something about these two ladies killing one of their boyfriends or something. However, the other lady was actually involved with the not so dearly departed. She evidentily didn't drown him like should was supposed to. later on, this bloke comes zombying towards this lady with his eyes all bulging out and I believe ended up scaring her to death.

The two remain lived happily ever after. Now is that child abuse or what??? Thanks Ian, I'll have to sleep with the bloody light on now!!!:D

That doesnt scare me as such but it makes me jump everytime, even though i know whats coming!! I cant think of a film thats really ever scared me. Im sure theres some that I havent seen though, that would scare the heck out of me

Re: films that scared you
 
HALLOWEEN, the original, scared me sh*tless when i watched it at the age of about 9 i think(i`m 33 now!) the mask and the music, i can hear it now!!! i`ve seen all the sequels and i think they`re great but i still won`t watch the first when its on even to this day. A horror / suspense masterpiece.

accymel 03-02-2007 10:28

Re: films that scared you
 
The Entity - that freaked me even worse watching it as a kid an all:eek: yes my mother was watching it during the day on tape:(

Nowadays sadly cant stomach horrors far too much like real life - thanks to actually experiencing the deadly & feeling the terror side of life:(

zombie film....zombie flesh eaters!! i was about 8!, I sh*t myself!,,,,lol, now it looks rubbish!!!!!!

slinky 03-02-2007 11:12

Re: films that scared you
 
The scariest film I have ever watched has got to be The Entity.

Me and Tinks watched this when I was about 10 and she was 15. OMG that film is sooooooooooo scary. And when tinks sees this film on now she can't even look at the name lol.

Deffo the scariest film I have watched.

The other is Jeepers creepers. That film is very scary. :(

katex 03-02-2007 11:13

Re: films that scared you
 
Definitely Edgar Allen Poe's stories of catalepsy and being buried alive, then waking up to find yourself chatting to the worms hammering on the coffin awaiting your demise. The sound of the heavy breathing and panic to scratch yer way out .. then to be discovered later with broken off bloody covered fingernails and frozen look of absolute terror on the face .. brrrrh ...

Only film a friend and I walked out of .. some sort of trilogy of his I think .. twas either at the old Empire/Princess cinema and had to forget the whole thing in the Derby with a 'few' gin and oranges. :eek:

Took my daughter (think she may have been about 14 ? ) to see Jaws .. the opening scene with the music, when that big fish dragged the swimmer down, had a profound effect on her life. Couldn't sleep for weeks and has never paddled in the sea since.

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

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

MUMMIBOO 03-02-2007 22:23

Re: films that scared you
 
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!!!

Re: films that scared you
 
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

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.

Re: films that scared you
 
I saw "The Exorcist" when I was about fourteen and then had to walk home from my mates house, in the dark, on my own................the whole evening was poo inducing.

Also I watched a trashy hammer horror style film on tv with my Dad many many years ago called "Zoltan Hound of Hell" which was quite rubbish, with hindsight, but got a great shock when my dad came into my room half an hour later whilst I was in bed, on all fours, snarling like a dog. THAT scared me witless as I thought the ruddy "Hound of Hell" had come for me AAAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!! Oh how we both laughed...except me.

The film that scared me the most, for no reason is Ghost busters! The demon dogs are just plain freaky! lol

Re: films that scared you
 
I love horror novels (Stephen King and Dean Koontz) but horror films,especially ones with violence, I find unwatchable-I just enjoy the spooky ones.

I remember being very disturbed by Hitchcock's film - Birds, because it was so very probable/possible.

katex 18-04-2008 16:22

Re: films that scared you
 
Even though it was tongue in cheek and quite funny, found Dr. Phibes was quite spooky with Vincent Price. Particularly the one where he has extracted all the blood from his victim and left them on view on a shelf LOL. Mind you, think only 8 pints if I remember, which is incorrect, but not enough left to function ... :D Was Terry Thomas I think ... found that a bit surreal.

Lilly 18-04-2008 16:27

Re: films that scared you
 
When I was about 14 my friend and I watched The Shining.

We were scared out of our wits. :eek:

I watched it again recently and it all seems so tame now but back then it scared us.

West Ender 18-04-2008 16:46

Re: films that scared you
 
I've never been scared by horror films but I was once scared witless by a Disney cartoon. It was the first version of The Legend of Sleepy Hollow and I was about 6 or 7 when I saw it. The headless horseman frightened me to death and I had to go to sleep with the light on for weeks after. :D
