    Just finished waching Stephen Kings IT for the first time since I was about 9 years old.

    While not as scary now I remember Pennywise the clown scared the ever loving crap out of me for weeks on end.

    So what film scared you all as a kid?

    edit: some clips of Pennywise from IT

    Didn't think this would suit the films board?

    I wasn't the kind of kid to get frightened at films. Especially the 'scary' ones. They were usually a bit of a laugh. Edward Scissorhands depressed the **** out of me though.

    Remember thinking it was scary but never thought it scared me. But I have an unexplained hatred of clowns too, hmm, Stephen King lawsuit coming up. Class action, admiral?

    Nope 30. Pighead was 22 about 8 years ago though. Perhaps thats were the confusion arose?

    Nothing scared me.
    I'm a double hard bastard.
    See those threads about standing up to scumbags?
    I didn't post there because my stories of standing up to them would frighten the hardest of you.


























    my mammy told me the local slaughterhouse was haunted. I was afraid to walk by it for years

    Clowns only scare me because of the time I tried to sneak into a circus and one of the clowns caught me and kicked me up the arse.
    My friends got in without being caught, the bastards.

    Somebody should tell Prince. He's just given away his new album for free thinking he can still rake in the royalties on that song

    Jesus, bad luck buddy. Of all the circus performers to catch you sneaking in and give you a kick up the arse, it had to be the one with the biggest shoes.

    The older heads here might remember "The Hand". Its was about a white gloved hand that used to go around choking the bejaysus out of anyone it came across. Must have been 6/7 when I seen it. The nightmares faded away after about 4 months. !!

    When I were a lad (a long time ago now), I was out running round one fine summer's evening and got to starin in the neighbours window as they had a "video" out for the night (ah, good times - top loading VCR machines... ) - anyway, out they popped and said "Hey, come on in and watch it if you want" - evil bastards, it turned out to be Evil Dead 2 and I came in just as a hand came through the trapdoor and rammed a pencil into someone's ankle, again and again... man, I was scared abso****inlutely ****less that night and it took me a long time to ever watch that one again...

    According to imdb 'threads' is a documentary style account of a nuclear holocaust and it's effect on the working class city of Sheffield, England; and the eventual long run affects of nuclear war on civilization.

    Pretty scary alright buddy but don't worry Sheffields miles and miles away. Turn that frown upside down..
