    The clown movie IT. My dad knew the movie pretty well and would have me and my siblings go up to television when he knew the clown was going to pop up randomly. Got us every time. :laugh:

    Salem's Lot but I was very young and I only saw the scene where the kid vampire knocks on his brother's window then bites the brother when he lets him in. I am now a huge Stephen King fan and a horror fan in general.

    I know it's already been said, but The Birds scared the living daylight out of me; I wouldn't move from my chair because I was scared the birds would swarm from underneath it and peck at my ankles. I love it now that I know it was based on a freak occurrence, but I still get a little frightened when I come home and there's a line of birds sitting on the power line watching me in silence!

    "The Brave Little Toaster", "The Secret of NIMH", "We're Back", "All Dogs Go To Heaven", "Who Framed Roger Rabbit", and "Watership Down".

    Mostly "Watership Down". Bloody fields, rabbit with blood all over them, rabbits being shot.. I'm surprised I survived watching that movie.

    Seriously, those are all cartoons or have cartoons in them, but they are scary as s@%& with some really dark themes. Go back and re-watch them.

    Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. I was always afraid I'd not have enough time to eat all the treats there!

    This is a character, not a movie, but the Oompa-Loompas in Willy Wonka (the original).

    Also...not a movie, but The incredible Hulk t.v. show scared the living daylights out of me when he would change.

    THANK YOU. You are the first person I've ever heard of who shared this horrible fear. I desperately loved the show and had a little girl crush on Bill Bixby. But when those buttons started popping off his shirt, I would high-tail it out of the room until I knew he was safely "hulkified".

    Years passed after the show went off-air and I would not have the occasion to watch it again until I was in the hospital, in labor. The TV Land channel seemed to be an entertaining way to pass the time between epidural and full dilation. THE HULK came on and I squee'd with delight. I explained my long-ago fear of the "in between" state to my husband, which he thought was quite funny.

    Lo and behold, it was a "...Hulk" episode I'd never seen before--one in which David is out in the woods and something goes wrong and he gets stuck in the "in between" state for pretty much the entire episode. And here I am, hooked up to IVs and unable to go anywhere. Had I not just told my husband the story of my childhood horror at seeing David Banner morph into the Hulk, he probably wouldn't have taken the remote away from me when I asked him to change the channel. But my hubby is a sick b*stard and he knew that was pretty much the only way I was ever going to get over that fear. :bigsmile:
