    It is really silly but Jeepers Creepers. I don't know but something about that movie really bothered me.

    The only thing that bothered me about that movie was after I watched it I was leaving a friends house and the song "Jeepers Creepers" was on the radio.

    As a kid a ton of scary movies spooked me...but I mean I was a kid lol.

    The only movie that has spooked me recently was Insidious.

    First scary movie I had seen was the TV movie "Trilogy of Terror." One of the segments had a little doll which came alive and killed folks. It was so bad, but so good.

    I think the movie which really made a lasting impact on the state of my mental well-being was Pet Semetary. In particular, this little bastage:

    Screw that kid.

    Jaws! I watched it when I was really young, and then my older brother tortured me in the water...now I cry if I get deep enough in the ocean that I can't touch the ground. :frown:

    Also running zombies...There is something about fast zombies that creeps me out (28 days later etc).

    Watership Down. Scariest film ever made. This is a true fact.

    agreed!

    I guess I am telling my age, but when I was a kid I watched The Omen and I was terrified that I would go into convulsions the next time my mom took me to mass!

    Yes The Omen for me also, any kid named Damien freaked me out :laugh:

    The Changeling.

    Still gives me the creeps, because for me, ghosts are way more real and have more of a chance of happening than some crazy movie like Saw.

    Hands down the best ghost film ever made. Makes all this modern rubbish like Insidious and Paranormal Activity look like kids films imo. :drinker:

    As a kid it was Return of the Living Dead. I love it now, it's cheesy and funny and has a great punk rock soundtrack. But I still clearly remember how scared I was the first time I saw it.

    I want my two dollars. HAHHAHAHAHA Great and funny movie

    No that's Better Off Dead, with John Cusack. Good movie yes, but no it did not keep me up all night with nightmares.

    Though I am chuckling thinking about the part where Booger snorts snow...

    Trilogy of Terror - watched it when I was 4 years old and still remember climbing the bookcase screaming because my "loving" older brother poked me in my ankle while I was watching the movie. Nightmares for a LONG time.

    Paranormal Activity - watched it and didn't sleep the whole night, just laid in bed watching the shadows. Slept the next day on the couch... had nightmares for a week.

    We called him the "Cha-Cha Doll" because that's what he said as he ran after you.

    Does it count if you haven't actually watched it? I refuse to watch the Exorcist because I know it will scare me so bad I will think about it all the time. I watched the "The Exorcism of Emily Rose" and "Paranormal Activity" and now I freak out every time I wake up in the middle of the night. And if anybody tries to stand by my bed they are gonna get kicked hard...just saying... :p

    Ring really got to me when I first watched it (Japanese version) as I had recorded it from the TV onto... you guessed it... a VHS.
    Watching that for the first time, alone in the house... ughh terrifying! Was irrationally thinking that my VHS copy would count as a real copy!

    Another one would be the original version of Texas Chainsaw Massacre. I can't hear that flashbulb camera sound from the opening without recoiling in horror :(

    The Others. I like to watch movies knowing almost nothing about them, so I had no idea what to expect. I made the mistake of deciding to watch it alone late at night while my (ex-)husband was at work. Not only that, but we had surround sound, so when there was someone running across the ceiling in one scene, I actually thought someone was in our attic. I freaked out and threw a blanket over my head (like that's going to stop an intruder) and sat there with my hands over my ears for about 10 minutes before finally running over and shutting it off. Yes, I was like 22, shut up :P

    You made me LOL for real...that is sooooo me! I would definitely hide under the blanket and cover my ears. I'm a big ol fraidy cat.

    The Exorcism of Emily Rose. My husband and I were both totally creeped out, esp when we inexplicably woke up in the middle of the night after watching and the clock said 3 am.

    Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

    Glad I'm not the only one..... LOL. I hate waking up at 3am...the witching hour...one of my friends says she does it every night. She's never staying over at my house!!!!

    Children of the Corn

    I watched the first five minutes of the original Children of the Corn when I was in high school and it scared me so bad I had nighmares for weeks- I've never actually seen the whole movie, and everyone tells me it is totally corny, but I can't make myself watch it (it's been 21 years, by the way- I'm such a wuss). But I love other horror movies- for some reason, this one just got to me!

    ^^^This. I still get freaked out driving by corn fields, and I first saw the movie more than 20 years ago!

    For some reason, movies that could ACTUALLY be true don't scare me (i.e. Halloween/slasher movies), but the ridiculous, irrational ones do (Signs/The Grudge, etc.).
    I'm the opposite. If it could plausibly happen, oh hell no. Movies like Hostel or Silence of the Lambs. But paranormal or alien movies, not so much.

    However, I get more and more scaredy cat as I age. 10 years ago, scary movies hardly phased me. Now, I'm peeking through fingers or having my husband tell me when it's safe to look.

    Me too! I used to watch SO many scary movies when I was a teenager, especially all the cheesy slasher ones... now I can't stand them. I'm fine with supernatural type films, but anything involving blood and gore, torture, psychopaths etc... I just can't watch. I was dragged along to Saw 3 by a friend and had to cover my eyes through most of it. I just don't get what is so appealing about watching someone get tortured :frown:

    Perfectly happy to watch a good ghost/alien/psychological horror story though. As long as it doesn't involve abandoned mental asylums... the one thing that gives me the creeps more than anything!

    The original Psycho! Watched it when I was about 11 and that damn shower scene messed me up big time. I still find it hard to get in the shower when I'm home alone.
