Movies that scared the Sh!t out of you when you were younger.

This always freaks me out, especially the woman with the multiples heaRAB "Dorothy Gaaaaaale!!" *shivers*



I had never seen this before.....it's very chilling
 
I bought the Dead of Night DVD from Australia just for the Bobby segment so see if it was as scary as I remembered it. It was :eek:!
 
You're right. I wonder if it was just an age thing or whether the actors in those days (Vincent Price, Boris Karloff, Charles Laughton :eek:, etc) were just a lot more frightening than actors these days.

I guess, these day all actors want to 'expand' and don't want to be 'typecast'
 
Picnic at Hanging Rock I think it was called. It wasn't even a horror movie, but it was just so eerie.. the music stuck with me, I can still remember how scary it was! I think it was only a PG though, lol.
 
At last someone else who was scared by this!! Once a year I try and make myself watch it again but I have to turn it off once they are in the graveyard!! :eek:
 
I saw the original "Friday the 13th" at the cinema when I was 17 (I think).
The bit at the end when
Jason leaps out of the water and grabs the girl in the boat
nearly gave me a heart attack !
I had to have a sit down when I was walking home !
 
There are a few films that have given me the eebie jeebies over the years, The Omen ( original of course ) The Exorcist, The Shining to name but a few....but as the thread asks, when I was younger, al lot younger, I remember watching Stephen King's Silver Bullet, scared my friend and I to death. Not seen it for years and would probably giggle rather than shiver now, but at the time it really got us !! :)
 
Saw this recently. It's still a fine film indeed, and the haunting sequences are still masterful. Many films are about the supernatural, but to be honest very few give you the eerie sense of something supernatural at work. This is certainly one of them.

Another word about Armchair Thriller. Yes, the faceless nun made the blood run cold, but I was also creeped out by the title sequence, where a ghost/shadow walks across a room and settles into an armchair. I know it was only a bit of animation, but still.
 
The Incredible Shrinking Man - it was its 'atmosphericness'

Moving away from films, an episode of Tales From the Unexpected, The Flypaper. Synopsis: 'A quiet teenage girl is being pestered by an old man. A woman, Miss Harrison steps in to help and brings her to her caravan home to call for the Police...' It was filmed in the style of a documentary - sent shivers up & down my spine.

Also the Black & White Minstrels used to terrify me, Lol.

Oh, and parts of Sixth Sense scare me now.
 
Went to see a movie called The Funhouse when I was about 18, about a group of teenagers hiding out in this fairground which had been closed for the night. It was very scary.
 
If anybody hasn't scene it then they will know how they will die, I guess.

I didn't realise that everyone knew otherwise I wouldn't have bothered ;)
