A Movie That scared you

[Jazzy1]

What movie scared you/gave you nightmares as a child?

 

[Oldeagle66]

None. I was eager to watch them all and jumped right in.

When I was a child, the original Dracula (especially this scene):




As an adult, lately, Hereditary, wow (reminded me too much of my family growing up):

I don’t remember any as a child, but I was completely freaked out when I watched Jaws in my early 20’s!

When it began playing on TV many years later I avoided it like the plague because I remembered how freaked out I was. Recently I came across it while scrolling, and decided to take a peek.

I watched the whole movie, and while there were some scenes that were suspenseful, (even though I knew what was coming ) it didn’t scare me at all like I thought it would!

The Fly - I remember going to bed and then waking up screaming because a fly in my room woke me up.

The Blob. My grandmother took me to see it and I remember covering my face and wanting to hide on the floor. To this day, I remember the fear.

None as a child. We weren't allowed to go see scary movies.
The Omen later on.

There were two that kept me awake for a month or two of nights.

The Thing
The House of Wax

I remember a movie called Silent Rage with Chuck Norris as a sheriff tracking a mute serial killer who was brought back to life after being killed. I was probably twenty years old when I saw it and it always stuck in my memory as being very tense and frightening.

Then I watched it years later and thought is was kind of lame.

"Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde."
From the time we watched it on TV when I was little, until I was a teenager, whenever I was outside at night, say going down our dark country roads from my friend's house to home, I would imagine him coming behind me with his cape flared out.

I was the fastest girl runner in my school. He gets all the credit.

Many years ago, a French horror movie, Diabolique, scared the s*** out of me.

None that I can think of, but I liked the movie, “Candyman.”

While there may be some frightening or startling moments in a movie, I was never actually scared. After all, it's just a movie, and temporary "suspension of disbelief" while watching it doesn't make me think it's real.

Thriller with Vincent Price

 

[QuietByNature]

I remember as a kid, me and my best friend snuck into a theater and sat down to watch

The Texas Chain Saw Massacre

 

[MACKTEXAS]

Not as a child, but both of these were masterpiece thrillers in my book:
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre
The Shining (Jack Nicholson)

Funny, I was just writing about that when your post popped up. It was a low budget film, but they knew how to make it work.

Many years ago, a French horror movie, Diabolique, scared the s*** out of me.

I think I watched this movie. Was this about a leader of a boarding school? I believe I fell asleep watching it about halfway through.

I never watch many horror movies. Most are not worth the time. I saw a few old ones like “Psycho” and “Cujo,” which did keep my attention. “Pet Semetary” was OK until nearing the end when it became a bit ridiculous. There may be more, but my brain is clouded because I have a head full from the flu.
