Amen, brother. I hated that movie just because of the FM's.
I really love the 1950’s Superman tv series, and as much as I loved Christopher Reeve in the part (RIP, Chris and Dana)the old b&w TV series was the best. “The 2 “Unknown People” episodes and “Great Caesar’s Ghost” are my all-time faves!
American Werewolf in London. Stayed awake many a nights after that movie.
“Halloween”, drove my friends to see it in my parents station wagon.
I can remember driving home in the empty car, and I had to keep looking in the back seat to be sure no one was there,
Me and a Buddy on a whim one day cut school, jumped on the train, and headed into Manhattan. With nothing to do we found what looked like a good movie that just came out and that we had not heard of. Well, it was really scary. I have not been so scared in a movie since. Years later the movie 'Blue Velvet' almost came close.
When I was three I had to be removed from the theatre during a showing of “A Christmas Story”. When the little boy got his tongue frozen to the lamp post I was convinced there was a monster bird inside the pole eating the kid’s tongue and became hysterical. This is my earliest childhood memory.
Thanks mom and dad!
I have to agree with another FReeper and plus one.....
Hush Hush Sweet Charlotte
Whatever Happened to Baby Jane
The Birds
Hi, all!
The Thing From Another World
It! The Terror From Beyond Space
Two of the classic 1950’s ‘Red Scare’ Sci-Fi films that did just that!
Jack.
Some years ago we told our kids (ages 10 and 12) how scary the movie was to us when we were kids. We then watched it. They were laughing at it because the effects were so hokey. Times sure change.
Believe it or not, the Blob gave me nightmares.
“House of Wax” about 1953 -one of the first 3D movies with Vincent Price. His wax face was batted away and, on a rope, he swung into the audience with this horrible, disfigured, burned up face. My first horror film:-)
Jaws.
Invaders From Mars (1953) - I was six at the time. Then in 1963, The Haunting with Julie Harris.
Still scares me. ;-)
The actual birth of triplets shown at a drive-in movie. FREAKED me out LOL~
Bonnie and Clyde. The slow motion scene where they were shot scared the hell out of me for a long time.
Was that the same Dark Shadows as the TV soap opera, with Barnabas Collins the vampire and Quinton the werewolf? Man, that was the only soap opera I ever followed in my life and I couldn't have been more than 8 or 9 at the time. Came on right when we got home from school.
