movies that scared me

1953...The House of Wax, 3D, with Vincent Price. I was ushering in our local theater when this played. I’ll never forget the impression this movie had. Of course, after seeing it twenty or more times, the novelty wore off, but I enjoyed watching the new audiences watch it.
 

I really like movies by Stephen King. They are not all scary, but definitely entertaining, if you like his style of writing.

The most recent of his movies that I keep repeating is “Thinner.” The plot is very dramatic and the cast does a wonderful job of recreating the story as written in the book. Kudos to the cast.

I think “Carrie” May have been the first King book that I read and was not surprised when it was made into a movie. Sissy Spacek stole my heart in that movie.

Others that I enjoyed were, “The Shining, Pet Sematary, Stand By Me,The Green Mile and Silver Bullet.” I think Silver Bullet was the first movie that I saw Corey Haim in, who I came to be a fan of his. He was hilarious in “License To Drive.” He flew on my plane on a trip from L.A. to New York, where he was going to act in a play for two nights.

BTW, in the movie, “Carrie,” Sissy Spacek is made out to be a homely looking, introvert that has no friends. IMO, she has a lot of natural beauty and needs none to very little makeup. I’ve never seen her in person, but the many pictures that I have seen proves it out to me.
 
I saw psycho in a theater when in first came out. That one scared me!
Especially this scene @Butterfly. The soundtrack chilled me to the bone.
