for me it was “Forbidden Planet”, nightmares from the id.
If you get a chance, you should watch The Exorcist: The Version You’ve Never Seen.
It is the original movie with a few scenes added back in - they’re not really anything violent, but I guarantee you 100% that if you watch that movie you WILL have the bejesus scared out of you!
I actually read the book (in a single night) a bit before the movie came out and was waiting and waiting and waiting for the movie I can tell you it was worth it.
Even now, the start of “Tubular Bells” on the radio practically throws me into spasms...
It is the scariest thing I ever saw.
I’m not likely to see anything that gets rave review at Somedunce. If the Me-Me-and-Brie set like it, I’ll probably hate it.
Ever seen the terror of tiny town?

I agree Steve86
However I think the only way to really understand this is to have experienced it personally
Its called entries, and anything that makes us consider, think about or just look in their direction empowers them and gives them a place to stand, this is why terrorists blowing themselves up in the name of their ‘god’ have caused more Americans to embrace that demonic death cult since 9/11 when we would emphatically think it should be the opposite happening,
Jesus said that a time was coming that would be ‘as in the days’ of Noah,
It was a corrupted generation where their every thought was to do evil continually
And today we find that even our entertainment is evil, it displays the symbolism for us to look at to give these evil spirits a place to stand, to operate from,
Michael the Archangel, even though he had every right to do so would not rail against Satan, instead he said ‘the Lord rebuke you’
This is what we have to do, and never (never) give these evil spirits a place to operate in our lives or from within our homes,
Again until it is directly encountered I’m not sure it can be adequately understood, the Spirit operates in a manner that is very bizarre and even counter-intuitive to how we would think it should work in the flesh,
Anyone who doesn’t understand this warfare is going on today in America also doesn’t realise that what we’re seeing with President Trump and how this entrenched evil deep state cabal works, this is what it looks like when Satan’s kingdom is in attack mode, attacking from the managed MSM, the corrupted courts and reprobate politicians and religious leaders who Satan gave them their seat, power and authority,
These are the very ‘principalities and powers and spiritual wickedness’ operating in high places that all believers are now battling against whether they realise it or not, its showing itself,

Back in the late '40s in NYC, it was hard times for my family. Somehow my sister and I scraped up 60c for the three of us to go to the movies. "The Mummy" was playing at a theater a couple of blocks away, so we hiked on down, paid out 20c each and went in expecting to get the Hell scared out of us.
It did, and had all of us tight as a drum. Then there came the time when the mummy was coming up a gravel driveway and suddenly my kid brother gives out a blood-curdling yell and runs out of the theater. We followed him out and calmed him down and tried to get back in. They wouldn't let us in, claiming we just wanted free admission and wouldn't listen to us.
We beat his ass from 18th to 22nd street as we had busted ours to get that dough. Years later when we still ragged him about it, he said he was OK until he heard the mummy dragging his foot across the gravel. That sound went straight to his soul and panicked him.
Every once in a while I'll still watch that old film and thoroughly enjoy that gravel-scraping scene.
“Something Evil” by Spielberg scared me first. Then “The Exorcist” totally freaked me out.
When I saw Exorcist with work friends I had to go home to an empty house ‘cause my husband was in the Air Force and had the night shift. I didn’t sleep well for a week.
Slasher stuff isn’t scary to me at all, but things that could/do have a bit of truth in them are different, thanks to my “Demonology” class in Seminary, I guess. And hearing missionary friends’ stories when they were home on furlough.
Great story!.......It’s amazing that Old Hollywood could scare all of us half to death, in black and white, monaural, with no blood, guts and gore flying all over the screen in 3D living color and surround sound, no heads exploding and no curse words........................
