Previous post of 'what tv adds scared you as a child' got me thinkin of films that scared me as a child
One that sticks out was that film never ending story ( everyone gasps and say wtf) but the film is basically bout a huge wolf tring to eat a child and at the end the wolf finds him And has a creepy voice and has huge teeth and all ( did I mention huge fcukin wolf)
And the film Peter and the wolf ( not the film But the music scared sh1t out of me)
Basically wolves I know haha
But seriously what films scared you folks

The pink elephants from Dumbo scared the bejaysus out of me when I was a nipper. Their trunks turned into trumpets and they burst

The original " Piranha".

I love Jaws etc but for some reason Piranha scared the life outta me.
Wouldn't sit on the loo without checking for piranha for MONTHS:eek::o

Pinnochio.

Two parts really shook me up. When the boy turned into the donkey it scared the shít out of me. Also, when they got swallowed by the whale too. Gave me nightmares for months after!

Yeah Dumbo's bad trip the first time he tried acid was a little scary and confusing.

Also, the part of Bosco where he went to the supermarket, it involved a scary ass talking, angry potato.

Saw candyman when I was about 10 or 11. Bad bad idea

PirateShampoo · 14-09-2012 02:58AM

Stephen King's "IT" had me terrified.

And "Ghoules" that film had me checking the toilet every time I had a ****.

Smidge · 14-09-2012 03:03AM

Film that scared me after Piranha(which I saw when I was about 8) was Stephen King's "Salem's Lot"

The scene where he is scratching at the window still sits with me to this day.

HAHA what is it with the loo checking???
I went through a phase of that too!

chucky, scared the **** out me

ScumLord · 14-09-2012 03:07AM

Robocop, my father wouldn't let me watch it but when I seen him going around the house pretending to be a robot and air spinning guns into his leg I made it my mission to watch it before the video went back that evening. It doesn't take long for that film to scare the bejaysus out of a child, the hardest part was waiting for a nonviolent part so I could run out from behind the couch and stop the tape. Ended up getting caught when the video shop fined the ol lad for not rewinding the tape.

The full video of Thriller by Michael Jackson really freaked me out! Remember seeing it for the first time on a Sunday afternoon on MT-USA. Can remember there being a warning before it and telling my mum that I'd be fine....how wrong I was

Well the "Ghoules" are these little green evil gremlins things that kill people in carnival. In the end scene when they think there all dead, a worker goes for a dump and a "Ghoule" comes up the toilet and bites his ass/balls off.

Took me months to conquer that fear.

Sir Gallagher · 14-09-2012 03:25AM

Not a film but this shiiteback scared the bejaysis out of me. Turned me off milk for life, now i have no teeth and osteoporosis.

I can get my loo checking thing because the piranha were in water.

Were the ghoules in water?

My older sisters enjoyed freaking the shít out of me with this type of thing, me being around ten years younger than them. One I remember was something to do with Jack the Ripper when I must have only been 5/6. I looked up some there but can't pinpoint what one it was.

I watched it as a nipper and for years I was terrified of drains in case he was lurking

I was also terrified that he was hiding behind the shower curtain, surprisingly it had no lasting effects, not scared of clowns now

The follow up to Wizard of Oz that was made in the 80s - Return to Oz.
The Wheelers scared the absolute sh*t out of me, and the room of heads in glass cases that the witch/queen had and when Dorothy went into the room and they all woke up and started screaming!

Too scary for kids!!

mauzo · 14-09-2012 03:39AM

Gremlins, only seen a bit of it but that was enough!

Never watched it again

Pee Wee Herman and Roger Rabbit, both have scenes where characters eyes go crazy, damn Christopher Lloyd nearly made me sh1t myself as a kid.

Cookie_Monster · 14-09-2012 05:17AM

Jurassic Park, had to leave the cinema

jill_valentine · 14-09-2012 05:29AM

When I was young, I occasionally ended up visiting slaughterhouses with my dad. I tell you this to illustrate the fact that I was not an easily rattled child.

However, Superman 3 freaked the living crap out of me thanks to the following scene.

It uh... it hasn't really held up, but... still.

Seans_Username · 14-09-2012 05:36AM

A Clockwork Orange. I must have been about 11 or 12 (I'm 19 now)

I used to read tv guide or something a few years ago which rated movies on tv, it gave it 5 stars so I thought it must be worth watching (I found some of the best films from that magazine). Anywho, I didn't really pay much attention to the review which mentioned violence, rape, etc. So I didn't know what to expect.....

...I didn't make it past the intro

Freaky as fúck! Only came round to watching the full thing recently!!

Oh and Snow White, that bit where the witch turns into the old woman, I used to hide behind the couch it was that scary!

nice_very · 14-09-2012 05:44AM

not a film, but the series: HR Pufnstuff freaked me out so much I think my psychotic tendancies of today can be traced back to it

mawk · 14-09-2012 06:43AM
