Which movie scared you the most as a kid?

[onona]

Holy crap ! That one messed me up too !!

THE TINGLER scared me so bad I spent most of the movie in the lobby.

They gave us a white token with a T on it, I think it was to give to the uniformed nurse that was in the lobby if you were having a heart attack from fear.

I saw it at a kids theatre in Houston that always had props and scary add ons and even actors like the nurse, they went to amazing lengths, even using temporary plywood construction for the entrance to make scary structures to match the film of that Saturday's showing when it was horror, which was often.

Thanks, UCANSEE2!

It’s a really great movie, and I especially love the fearless Mexican Air Force!

I don’t know what the movie was (something about giant crabs, I THINK), but there was a scene that kept me awake with nightmares for weeks (I was about six, I think). People in a cave hiding from giant whatever they were things. Rocks falling all around in cave. Abruptly, man’s hand begins moving away from his arm...rock fell on it and severed it, but he didn’t realize it until that moment. ARRGH! Scared me to death!

Anyone know the movie?

The Changeling with George C. Scott is one of my favorite ghost movies. The Uninvited (1944) with Ray Milland is another.

The Omen, all of them, ....But Damien Thorn is now black and is the President! Creepy!

"Some black and white movie with a gigantic black spider..."

Tarantula (1955)?

Another favorite they would play on New Year’s eve. Is this the Ice Station Zebra? Or is that another movie?

Holy Crap, I remember that one too !! I never pick up binocs without checking them out first !!

Geez, these movies have messed me up big time....

Alfred Hitchcock’s “The Birds”.

[Texas Eagle]

As a kid, The Blob.

As a teenager, Friday the 13th.

In fact, Friday the 13th is the last horror movie I've ever seen.

Unless you count Days of Thunder or Top Gun.

No, wait, those were horrible movies.

Poltergiest, the first one.

[irishtenor]

I know. I laugh at most of the “special effects” of the 50s and 60s, and even the 70s.

Hitchcock’s “The Birds”...put me under the theater seat...

[KansasGirl]

Blair Witch Project—I was 20 something but I still think of that if I ever am in a dark, old basement.
