Movies that scared you as a kid
Movies that scared me as a kid.
C.H.U.D Return of the living dead what scared you? |
The Exorcist. Still does.
|
Poltergeist
Evil Dead |
No movie scared me as badly as the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and it STILL scares me just a little, to be honest. The Exorcist and A Nightmare On Elm Street got me as well. :o
|
There was a movie called Let's Scare Jessica To Death. (I was under the age of 10 at that time.) These are not in order, of course:
Cujo Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter (4th movie) Jaws King Kong (70's Version) Some grizzly movie- there have been so many but I just remember certain scenes... Halloween |
Jaws and Pet Semetary. And I remember this scary version of Little Red Riding Hood that I saw when I was about 4 that made me terrified of wolves.
|
Some of the films that I remember scaring me when I was really young:
Dracula AD 1972 And Now the Screaming Starts The Exorcist Count Dracula (BBC production) Probably heaps of others, but those were the ones that really left an impression. |
Frankenstein (1931)
Children Shouldn't Play With Dead Things The Land Unknown Monster from the Ocean Floor Horror of Dracula Bedknobs and Broomsticks (sounds silly but it's true!) |
Carnival of Souls
Psycho The Birds The Invisible Man The Thing From Another World Invasion of the Body Snatchers |
Alien
Fright Night The poster for Return of the Living Dead gave me nightmares, as did the commercials and comic for Creepshow Kingdom of the Spiders (great cheese now, who doesnt love Shatner and some dumb woman shooting regular spiders with a damn .44) |
For some reason the one movie that got me as a little kid was Doctor Giggles. I re watched it now and it was a laugh fest. but as a kid I never wanted to go to the doctors and get a shot. Still don't but as a kid I would scream bloody murder to get away.
Other than that I can't remember any. This one just over clouded my memory as a child. I loved the rest. when I was 4 my mom couldnt take Nightmare on Elm Street away from me. Oh and also Eraserhead. AHH |

No doubt in my mind, the movie that scared me the most as a child was : A Nightmare on Elm Street. It was not only the movie which left an impact on me, but the unforgettable situation that occured afterwards.
I remember watching it over at a friend’s for the first time. I must have been 7 or 8. First of all, there were some scenes from the movie that scared the living hell out of me: Tina being chased through the alleyway as Freddie’s arms grew, than slashed and drug across the walls and ceiling, leaving a trail of blood everywhere.....intense! Then the bathtub scene,...wow! Anyways, the movie didn't get finished until late that night and I didn't have permission to spend the night over at my buddies house. So, I knew I was going to have a lonely walk home. My friend’s house was only a few blocks from my house, so no biggie right? I was a tough lil’ kid (I thought, lol). So, I'm walking home and yeah, my heart was already pacing from the movie I just watched. It was pitch black out and the crickets were chirping there little hearts out. When I turned off one street and onto the next, I saw a distorted object way ahead of me. It didn't look like it was moving; I thought it must be a tree or something. Well I got a little closer to that object and yup...it was definitely moving. But it was just a person coming my way. I tried to shrug off the horror I just watched and told myself to get a grip, "It's just a man out for a walk." Well, the man approached me closer and closer, until I got a good view of his long trench coat. And for the grand finale, a top hat lay on his skull which casted shadows over his face..... Well, that was the end of my journey! I turned around in a flash and dashed back to my buddy’s house, never have I ran so fast...... Still to this day I remember every aspect and heartbeat of that journey home. That night, I felt more alive than ever before. Sorry for the carry on..lol. Just felt I had to add it in there for yas. |
Critters
Invaders from Mars NOES1 (and how!) Hellraiser ...those are all that come to mind. |
Evil Dead
Ghost Story (TV series from 1972-73, but broadcast here at the mid of 80's!) Maniac Cop |

I wassnt allowed to watch any when i was a kid.:o
But there was this one time when i was in bed, my parents was watching some horror film, and there was a lot of screaming. My imagination ran riot i had it in my mind that some women in the film was being cooked alive in a oven.......Dont know why, i just did.:eek: But the first horror film i watched was The Kindred. Wassent scared though. |
One Dark Night was very, very unsettling. Floating corpse still scare me when the moon is fungous and the shadows demoniac.
|
Children of the Corn....but I was 9 other than that nada
|
Damn it....... I am to used to horror films every time something tries to scare me I fall asleep. Tell me what I am doing wrong. I want to be scared.

I think I posted some of these before somewhere around here.
Nightmare on Elm Street (original) Halloween (original) Halloween 3 Friday the 13th Part 6 Invasion of the Body Snatchers. I believe the second one that had Mr. Spock in it. A few others that I need to remember but I can't think of right now. |
The Exorcist
Anything with Vincent Price and Christopher Lee The Legend of Hell House It's hard to remember all the flicks I watched in the 70's..... |
The Exorcist scared me back whenever. Now, it's stuff like Insidious and Oculus that unnerve me.

The GHOST STORY I was talking about was a 1972 TV flick |
The only movie that ever really scared me as a kid was Pee-Wee's Big Adventure. I was like five or six the first time I saw it. I was sitting by myself watching it in the living room and my mom was back in her bedroom. When it got to the scene with Large Marge I freaked out and ran screaming back to my mom's room but her door was locked so I just started slamming my entire body against it until she let me in. Keep in mind I wasn't a squeamish kid and even at that age I had already seen some pretty gnarly horror movies but nothing ever seemed to phase me except that.

The only thing I can really remember scaring me as a kid was the boat scene from Willy Wonka. |
A Nightmare on Elm Street 4 was really scary for me and this film also introduced me to horror. Other ANOES films were also really scary, especially the first one, even more than the fourth. Also I would say Alien and Halloween. And Jason goes to Hell had it's moments when I was really scared (I was little kid, so...). I was also very scared at the end of Ed and His Dead Mother, when Steve Buscemi is burying his mothers head (I repeat, I was little kid).
|
I was mostly freaked out by shows... CSI during dinner time was a very FOND memory. ::roll eyes::
There were a few movies though. A few being The Mummy and Scooby Doo on Zombie Island were rather traumatizing to me as a kid. I still don't like zombies or mummies to this day. My parents aren't big on horror so I never got to see any true horror classics til I was older. At that point I wasn't such a wuss anymore. |
As a child I saw Xtro. Spent years after trying to locate the movie from bits and pieces I remembered. Struck gold and brought it on DVD over a year ago and relived those moments.
|
The movies that scared me as a kid was The Exorcist and Fire In The Sky. Fire In The Sky wasn't exactly a horror movie but what the aliens were doing to Travis scared me! I ended up having to sleep in my brother's room for a few nights after I saw the movie cause I was so scared.

The Skeksis from The Dark Crystal creeped me out and still do.

When I was little I was a total coward and my best friend and her grand mother loved horror movies. The grand mother thought it was hilarious when I would hide behind her chair. The ones that stick out in my mind though were Cat's Eye, Silver Bullet and the episode of Jim Henson Story Tellers with the soldier who trapped death. For some reason I was convinced that the demons from that episode lived in my elementary school bathroom.
