A Giant Walrus!!

The Backwards Man · 15-05-2013 01:03AM #1

So I'm lying here watching an old Sinbad film and, quite frankly, it is terribly silly. I remember watching the same film as a kid and being absolutely terrified.

Is there anything that really scared you as a kid that you look back and laugh at now?

Never ending story
The wolf in that scared the **** out of me

Does it say "ex minister for health" under her when she's talking?

The movie adaptation of Stephen King's "It". Scared the bejaysis out of me as a child. Watched it recently and it's a load of rubbish.

I shouldn't really say this but Wonder Woman used to scare the hell out of me as a child too. She's probably the reason I am still single.

I think when you watch the first part its creepy but when the evil is revealed at the end and its a f*cking

spider that is killed by catapults and kids

whatever fear the first part ever held is gone never to return

Round the twist.

Used to love it when I was a kid but it terrified me.

Awesome theme tune too!

The dilophosaurus in Jurassic Park, the bit where it opens out it's frills scared the crap out of me.

I once dropped a giant turd that resembled a Walrus when viewed at the correct angle.

I have pics if you are interested, OP?

The Evil Dead when I was a young teenager was a bit jumpy with the bird under the trapdoor.

Bought the DVD a few years ago, I must have been a twat
all those years ago, appalling effects.

darby o'gill and the little people with the vanshee near the end.

terrified to hell by that thing as a child but looking back on it and seeing how **** the graphics and that were just makes me laugh

FatherLen · 15-05-2013 09:35AM

the stargate movie had me shitting my pants.

Labyrinth freaked me out, watched it a few weeks ago and it was funny how unscary it was. Still pretty dark for a kids' movie though.

The original 1933 version of King Kong scared the bejazuz out of me as a kid and I still get the heebe jeebies when it's on.
It's the mixed feelings of be scared of him and yet being sad when he dies that I couldn't resolve and that made me think way too much about the film so that I built up a lasting impression of it that still weirds me out.
The new versions of the film I can ignore with ease but if I'm alone in the house and the original version comes on I have to change channel.

Ghostbusters: Zuul, the giant hell-hounds, the ghost in the library, the god from the other dimension, the angry slime in the bath, the evil ghost nanny, the undead criminals.

And Janine, the secretary, was scarier than all of those put together!

I was shown 'Watership Down' in school when I was about 5 or 6. Scared the bejaysus out of me

gramar · 15-05-2013 11:16AM

Jaws in the James Bond movies and 'V'.

I watched it last week, I still find it as unsettling and uncomfortable as ever. The animation is haunting.

kfallon · 15-05-2013 11:22AM

Jaws used to absolutely have me terrified when I was a nipper! If it was on the minute the music came on I was out the door quicker than shít off a shovel

the Gorn from the original star Trek. Filled me pants, now hes a guy in a rubber suit.

A Giant Walrus!!
