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

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.

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.

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!!!

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.

The Entity - that freaked me even worse watching it as a kid an all

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!!!!!!

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.

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.

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.
