What are the movies that scared you when you were little?

[iamali]

Yes, Cat's Eye (old Stephen King IIRC). I am serious when I say that movie scarred me for life.

[VeryViolet]

I was in college before I saw The Wizard of Oz, I couldn't take the wicked witch and her monkeys. Also, the movie witches was terrifying to me.

[bonquiqui]

Poltergeist, Freddy movies, and chucky

[Deleted]

Annie was had me on pins and needles when Rooster was climbing after her on the bridge.

Wizard was definitely a bit scary. I thought the tornado was scary. And who ever played the woman who hated Toto.

[pixelpassion]

The Terminator, especially when he's just that metal skeleton thing.

ETA: Certain video games also scared me a lot when I was little. Resident Evil instilled my fear of zombie apocalypses and I think I slept with my bedroom door open for years after. 

[sewf]

Bedknobs and Broomsticks. I loved it, but the ending, when she does the chanting and all the armor moves without anyone in it. Plus, they were fighting Nazis. Nazis were scary!

[koopa17]

Child's Play (Chucky) was by far the worst. I had nightmares about that shit for YEARS. Then, one day it would be on and I'd watch again and the cycle would repeat. Horrible.

Also Arachnophobia was terrible for me too, I had to check under toilet seats every time I peed, etc.

Seriously, it's no wonder I'm an anxious mess today, lol.

I used to be scared of Large Marge from Pee Wee's Big Adventure. And Christopher Lloyd in Who Framed Roger Rabbit.

Sleeping Beauty

My parents would not let us watch anything that was even remotely scary or horror.  So it was just the Wizard of Oz for me.  

I still pretty much hate scary movies. I will watch something like, Silence of the Lambs or The Walking Dead, but I wouldn't watch a gory movie if my life depended on it. I'm a big chicken!

I hate horror movies, so maybe i got my fix then.  lol  I remember my brother and I begging to watch freddy, and finally they gave in.  We were terrified.  lol  We weren't super young, but still kids.

This was the scariest movie in the world when I was a kid: www.imdb.com/title/tt0081738/

(Watcher in the Woods)

I have spent my entire adult life trying to recapture the delicious terror that it caused me. No luck. Stupid growing up.

Gremlins
Wizard of Oz

[spitforspat]

I had a love/hate relationship with Beetlejuice.

He was terrifying! Especially when he blew himself back up after being rolled over!

[Kit]

Child's Play, It, any of the Freddie or Jason movies or similar.

I was a wuss.

Also, ET completely fucking traumatized me. Not in a good way. My parents took me to see it in the theater and I had nightmares about his revolting, fleshy body forever. I am still repulsed.

[agnes]

The Gate is the only movie that gave me nightmares as a kid. Gahhhh those little deamons. And the eyeball in the hand. THE WORST.

[speckledfrog]

Stand By Me. I couldn't listen to the song on the radio for many years.

The worst part of Return to Oz was when they did that scene with all the heads and she could put on any weirdo head she wanted. Ugh. Horrid.

I don't know why, but whenever I smell Paul Mitchell hair products it makes me think of Trolls 2.

I think the woman who hated Toto was the same actress who played the wicked witch.

There was a movie (I think made for TV) about the Bogeyman appearing in some small northeastern town that freaked me the fuck out, but I think it wasn't supposed to be scary.

Just looked it up, it's called Mr. Boogedy. Supposedly a family-friendly comedy, but this is the bogeyman and he is terrifying!!!



ETA: And Baron Von Munchaussen or however the hell you spell it. So scary!!

She was, but I don't remember her Kansas name.

What the hell is that sound he makes when Drew Barrymore finds him? The wail of the inner-most circle of hell?

WORST MOVIE EVER .

This movie?

[Jalapeñomel]

Anything with the a Incredible Hulk, an SK's Silver Bullet.

[stephm0188]

I was allowed to watch Christine when I was four. Parents of the Year!

[mcmel]

The music video to Thriller used to scare the crap.

A few years ago I found out Thriller wasn't actually a movie, just a long music video. Funny how kid's perceive time.

[CurlyQ284]

I got freaked out by stuff I couldn't understand. Which is all the fucking kiddie movies in the world. ET is the top contender, Willow, Neverending Story, Watcher in the mother effing Woods, the scene in Charlie and the Choc Factory where they're on the boat and all that creepy weird shit happens, Earnest Scared Stupid freaked me out.
