When I was 5, my parents and I all fell asleep in the living room with HBO on. I woke up in the middle of the night just in time to watch Nightmare on Elm Street parts one & two. I was terrified and literally too scared to move, but couldn't stop watching. It traumatized me, and I ended up sleeping on my parents bedroom floor for almost a year, as I refused to go in my room ALONE at night!

 

The Exorcist scared the crap out of me as a kid and still does today!I can't stand the picture for the horror movie threads,I have to put my hand over it so I don't see it or I will have nightmares lol!

 

When I was only 5-6 yrs old I saw an episode of The Outer Limits (similar to The Twilight Zone) where a scientist created this monster on a big tv screen in his lab that was all just made up of blobs of light. The being eventually came out of the screen and attacked the guy, after that I couldn't watch tv for a while thinking monsters were going to come out of the screen and kill me. Oh those were the days of youth .. hahaha

 

Yeah the Exorcist was the ultimate in scary movies in it's time, it's funny for me when I watch it again nowadays it doesn't seem as scary as the first time.

 

Me too...that freaky ass spider walk thing she does down the stairs just scares the crap out of me!

 

The original 'The Omen' was scary as hell, that little kid Damien was very creepy.

 

Night of the Living Dead terrified me.

Never got around to watching The Twilight Zone because I caught a scene in a commercial that when this guy pulled back his drapes there were two pig faced demons on the other side of his window. Took me awhile to look out the windows at night time and prevented me from watching the Twilight Zone for years. haha

Poltergeist messed me up to.

Also, a scene in Ghost Busters, one of my favorite movies when I was a kid, but whenever the librarian, "One, Two, Three, GET HER" scene came on I had to hide on the side of the tv.

 

Yeah Poltergeist was intense, also had some of the 'bad people' in the tv theme that is always scary to a kid.

If you like the original 1968 NOLD then ck out this even older movie from 1964 with Vincent Price called The Last Man on Earth.

His character name is Dr. Morgan in the movie and there's a scene where zombies keep banging on his door chanting "Morgan, Morgan' hahahah

Childs play when I twas but a child. I was deathly afraid of Chucky, or any dolls cause I was afraid they would come alive and stab me to death.

 

Yeah, after I watched Poltergeist I would become very unhappy whenever the tv showed those static/snow channels at nighttime.

Sweet! I'll check it out! Thanks for the heads up.

 

That movie is sick as all get out !!!

I actually watched this recently and couldn't believe what I was seeing ... totally going WTF ?????

NO WAY .. omg

 

Chucky scared me too,I had a redheaded cabbage patch doll that I slept with every night until I saw Child's Play and then I threw her little ass in the closet,lol!

 

I would of destroyed that doll if I were you :zombies_lol:

 

Oh come on JJ, you know you like ass-to-mouth ;D

 

You said it girl,I don't even like to think about it!

 

Not movies, but intros. I used to freak out over intros. That anti-piracy and THX intro.

Yup, I was a weird kid.

 

Lol! I couldn't destroy her,I loved her even though I was scared of her for awhile and she was a Christmas gift!I still have her to this day.
