Movie that scared you the most when you were a kid.

Prob. Halloween for me. I think it was the music.

The scariest movie for me as a child was actually supposed to be a KIDS movie. It was called "Mac and Me". Those aliens scared the bejesus outta me. But oddly, horror movies never did. I loved them.

I watched a movie called Candy Man when I was younger. I was terrified to look in mirrors after watching that

Haha, the scariest movie for me when I was really little was actually a TV show, but since we owned it in VHS, I assumed it was a movie. It was Shelly Duvall's Faerie Tale Theatre...specifically, the Red Riding Hood feature. My friends and I were watching it and got freaked out when the wolf appeared on the screen. And so, being the smart kids we were, we worked as a team to push the TV off the stand, nearly ruining it. Yeah, my dad was pleased about that one.

I recently went back to check out the movie on YouTube (since I couldn't find our version) and now I think Shelly Duvall's scarier than the wolf.

Edit: In case you're realllly bored. Have at it.

Oh yeah, I didn't like that movie either. The part with the bees really bothered me!

Haha, same with me. I love the theme music for that movie. I don't know what it would be without it. Also, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Hellraiser, and The Amityville Horror.

Yes, it was Child's Play for me too. I had horrendous nightmares about that doll.

Also..Killer Clowns from Outer Space. Ridiculous movie but clowns are so creepy imo.

Animated version of the Phantom of the Opera, where the rat catcher is herding the rats through the sewer. I loved that movie though, and would always make my dad hire it from the video store.
Actually the movie that most traumatised me was a Mr Bean one involving laxatives. I was and still am terribly grossed out by it.

House -1986
All the monsters freaked me out, but the one that scared the crap out of me the most was Big Ben.

A made-for-TV movie called Don't be Afraid of the Dark from the early 70's(?) I convinced my parents that I was old enough to watch it, and then went to bed trembling under the covers.

Hah. I have a experience similar to this, for the same show.

Haha, that one scared me, too. Those movies are funny nowadays. xD

Without a doubt it was Stephen King's IT.

I was only about 5 years old and I watched it all alone. My parents were busy with my brothers Boy Scout Troupe so they had no idea what I was watching. I had nightmares for days and days.



Another movie I remember having very vivid nightmares from was The Fly (1986). I remember my dad waking me up because I was screaming and banging on my mattress in the middle of the night after watching that.

Chucky

[WintersTale]

Don't laugh...

But the one scene in Ghostbusters II, where they were under a subway and they get surrounded by corpses...

I had nightmares for weeks after watching that. And it doesn't scare me now, but it terrified me then.
