That movie is “Earth vs. the Spider”.
Have you read the book. It is even scarier than the movie.
Same here. The Thing scared the living hell out of me. I didn’t get a decent night’s sleep for two weeks. This movie still holds up very well, the dialogue in particular. I still regard it as one of the finest sci-fi films ever made.
...the scene where they were waiting for it to come to the door....when they had the place wired to fry it....that long store room in the dark....then you started to hear things....eeeeegads!
You beat me to it!
“The Legend of Boggy Creek” is an all-time classic must-see. I have good news for you. It’s online to watch for free! The Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization (BFRO) has the entire documentary up for anyone to watch. The link is here: http://bfro.net/documentaries.asp
I saw a two-show special in 1976, with “Legend” being paired with “Mysterious Monsters” at the same link above. See the photo of the girl on the couch? You’ve gotta see what happens to her. Scared me so bad as a kid... didn’t get over it for years.
Have fun watching... and don’t plan on getting much sleep tonight! :)
Diamonds are Forever
I saw it in the theatres when I was 7. The polite, smiling assassins and the scorpion scared the snot out of me.
I downloaded "House of Dark Shadows" and "Night of Dark Shadows" from a torrent website. I believe the movies were copied from VHS so the quality isn't like it would be from a DVD.
“Suspiria” (1977) with the lurid color art-deco sets, bats, thunderstorms, witches, maggots falling fron the ceiling, and that music soundtrack by the Goblins.
A 1970’s made for tv thriller Bad Ronald.
When I first saw TWoO on TV, at age 4, the Wicked Witch of the West scared me so much that I scuttled off and hid under my bed when she disappeared in her cloud of sulphur in Munchkinland; I still can’t watch the “melting” scene to this day.
When I was a kid, we didn’t really have much of a choice in movies. Wouldn’t really have mattered though. No extra money for things like that and town was an eternity away. Did get to see one, most had a live stage show before they began and I do remember that they also had a news broadcast. I do remember going to see Frankenstein when I was in high school, screamed a lot and ended up sitting in my boyfriend’s lap. Couldn’t sit through Play Misty for Me, even as a young adult and Freddie Krueger gave me nightmares.
Agree
The wizard of Oz
Witch scenes and Tornado images
Had me cowering under the sofa...
“The Last Man on Earth” (1964) with Vincent Price is another good one.
