what film scared the pee outta you as a kid?

Not a film but "Twin Peaks" really freaked me out - I must of been about 9 or 10 at the time and there was one particular scene where Bob was hiding in the house with a look of sheer insanity on his face and your one couldn't see him. Nothing gorey even happened it was just his evil presence - that's true horror. Stayed with me for weeks after.

The old black and white version of War of the Worlds.. My dad had it on one day when I was bout 4 and I freaked out, he also had the sound track which he seemed to enjoy playing for me to see my reaction.. He seemed to think it was quite funny .. Thanks Dad :rolleyes:

That scared the crap out of me too - there was one scene where he crawled towards the camera and it freaked me out so much I had to turn off the tv.

salems lot, exorcist, omen and probably the worst was the devil rides out when they conjure up old nick himself :eek:

meditraitor

"the texas chain saw massacre" and "the hills have eyes", the same older cousin had me watch them while babysitting, bastard

Princess Consuela Bananahammock

Has "Threads" been mentioned yet?

FIlm about a neuclear holocaust. I was holiday in London with my parents when I saw it. In a hotel about about two miles from Heathrow Airport. Every time a plane took off, I wet the bed.

Very unoriginal but mine was the original Halloween. I snook down to watch it on Halloween when I was like 8 and I did not get one wink of sleep that night because of it!

When I was about four or five I saw Superman III.

For whatever reason, the bit where the computer turns one of the bad guys into a 'robot' freaked me out. It was on ITV, but I'm nearly positive in the version I saw back then the character was DEAD dead and didn't survive at the end. Either way, the whole evil computer thing freaked me out. The thunderstorm that night did not help me get over my fear - I felt uneasy about that movie for a long time afterwards.

Freddy from Nightmare on Elm Street freaked me out a bit when I first saw him. Kept on having to rationalise to myself why there was no need to be afraid and how I didn't believe he was hiding in that dark corner in my room...

That scared the crap out of me when i was a kid, Id forgotten all about it until it was on over christmas, watching it again I can understand why a kid would be freaked out about it though!

Has to be "IT" pee'd my pants big time.

Jaws - my brother had a blue carpet in his room and he had me convinced that if I stood on it Jaws would jump out and eat me Damn older brothers.

Labyrinth was pretty freaky too. Those bad puppets and David Bowie's pants.

The Never Ending Story where the horse gets sucked into the swamp of sadness - terrifying.

Animal Farm when the puppies are taken away and made evil.

Pheonix Ski

*heres johnny!!!*

Invasion of the Body Snatchers - I didn't even see it but my uncle told me about it and freaked me out.

When my parents came back that evening I was convinced their bodies were going to taken by aliens and I'd have no way of knowing until it was too late.

Damn uncle.

the child catcher in chitty chitty!!

that ****er still freaks me out...

Fizman

Pennywise in IT.

Oh and strangely enough, ET freaked me out when my aunt rented it for me when i was about 6 or 7. Still havent seen it lol.

I think i remember being afraid of large plants for a while too because of Little Shop of Horrors.

The little people in Willow. I burst into tears and my mam had to take me into the other screen of the 2 screen cinema. Bambi was on in there and just in time to see his mommy die. That was a bad day...

ExpectantMum

hmmmm.... IT for sure... saw it for first time wen i was bout 11 at a halloween sleepover where we watched the candyman after... good times!!

Childs Play not so much but Puppet Master definately!!

Wasn't that long ago but Alien Abduction:the mcpherson tape... i was between 11 and 13 wen i saw it.. i knew it wasnt real but stil freakd me out... was the original "homemade" horror, b4 the blair witch..

Im not sure what film it was, I thought it was aliens, but there is a scene in the film where "alien like" creatures (with their elongated cranium and geiger-esque design) came from the sewers and there were two kids(or a kid and an adult) hiding behind thrash cans.... dont think thats in any of the alien movies... ???? if anyone can tell me wat that movie was id appreciate it!!!

Gremlins gave me re occuring nightmares where i knew i was in a dream and everything would be going fine until someone says sumtin like "o i got a new pet!" or id hear there singin in the distance... and then the feeling of terror would take over me and id be trying to warn everyone or go to bed in my dream and hide under the covers to try and wake up so i wouldnt have to deal with it!!!(which usaually worked btw )... thats the worst type of nightmare... even had a semi conscious gremlin nightmare where i saw them at the end of my bed.....:eek::eek::eek::eek:

And the twilight zone, outer limits, hammer house of horrors, and other scifi channel stuff freaked me out!!!

gondorff

Plenty of mention of 'Aliens', but 'Alien' for sheer atmospheric suspense.
'The Fly' (original version), watched it with the babysitter. The little flydude in the web? ah don't.
'Brimstone And Treacle'. A very disturbing performance from Sting.

Not a film, but anyone remember 'Children Of The Stones'? That had to be the scariest series for kids.

Corega

E.T., that little prick scared the bejaysus out of me.

ROCKMAN

For me as a kid " IT " was the scariest thing i ever seen


In the last few years that Japanese film with the small pale kid (forgot the name ) was one scary film.
