There’s a recent movie called “The Human Centipede” that is considered one of the most disturbing movies ever made. The one review I read was graphic enough all on it’s own that I came close to hurling.

As a kid of 19, the exorcist. I have never, and still will never, see it again.

oh, you got that right, connecting The Omen with zero-especially when it comes to the odd nature of Damien/zero’s REAL parentage!!

Surprised the dog zero owns isn’t a Rottie!!

I didnt think anyone else would remember “The Tingler” or am I thinking “The Kindred” I always get those two confused.

As a kid, Darby O'Gill and the Little People (the banshee!)

As an adult, The Exorcist (and the book is even more frightening, if that's possible)

I saw it on the late show when I was six. It had me crouching in the corner.

Prophecy 1980!

Ha! That was actually one of my first "date" movies at 15. The parents dropped us off for a matinee and we actually decided to hang out and go to the next showing it was so cool. I'm pretty sure the tickets were like 2 bucks back then.

Yep, me too...the whole concept of being unable to return home...even though it was Kansas...freeked me out as a little twerp.

I was telling my wife this and she laughed and said the Wizard of Oz scared the heck out of her too.

Dead of Night — especially the finale. The Blob was a close second. Wouldn’t touch anything gooey till I was a teenager.

One of only two books that I've ever read in a single sitting. The other being The Andromeda Strain by Michael Crichton.

Tarantula (1957). I saw it at the Elite Theater in Nashville, Tennessee. I was so scared that when I went to bed i asked my Mom for my Mattel Grease Gun.

In 2008: My 45 year old daughter called me when they arrived in Ct on their vacation. She said they were staying at the Bates Motel for the night. I never said boo....but I didn’t sleep very good that night.

“Invasion From Mars” creeped me out for years when I was young.

I suppose my girls were about 8 when I found Creature From the Black Lagoon at the library. They LOVED it, and still do. When they were 10 I got “Dracula”, thinking it would be another fun, old-time black and white horror flick but not too scary.

Boy was I wrong! We didn’t get too far into it and the girls were really frightened. We had to stop it!

LOL...me too...that movie really scared the beejeebers out of me. I can still remember scenes from War of the Worlds.
