What movies caused you to be scared when you were a child?

[theseagullwithoneleg]

me?
Watership Down
those nasty big rabbits kept me awake at night for ages.

It...my mom let me watch it when I was younger and to this day I am terrified of clowns.

 

[theseagullwithoneleg]

i know a few people who are afraid of clowns. its not funny.

 

[CrystalBrooke]

It's one of the few things my fiance' and I have in common lol.

Chuckie always bothered me too..of course he was a doll and I played with dolls.

The Little Troll Prince

I still refuse to watch it again

 

[Guy Incognito]

Jaws terrified me when I was a child, heck, the theme still gets under my skin sometimes now.

 

[Willtor]

I didn't like "Clue." I didn't like the part where Mr. Body falls out of the cupboard.

 

[Miss Spaulding]

Jaws. I do remember catching a scene from "It" on TV once and it REALLY scared me. I couldn't sleep that night. Those are the only movies I can really think of right now; honestly, I hate scary movies...I never ever watch horror movies of today. HATE THEM. They're stupid anyway...they're all the same.

 

[Everlasting33]

The brood..very scary!!

 

[Willtor]

Oh! I also didn't like the end of "Empire Strikes Back" where Han gets frozen in carbonite or the part of "Return of the Jedi" where the Emperor uses force lightning.

There was a version of The Nut Cracker called The Nutcracker Prince that I watched when I was little. It was a weird version...anyway there was a part in it where this really snotty princess who was gorgeous was going to bed, in the middle of the night there were these two rats that cast a spell on her to make her ugly but to finish the spell they had to bite her toe. So the rat bit her toe and the next morning she woke up really ugly. Like huge nose, hunch back, mole on her lip...it was nasty. Well the only way to break the spell was for a prince to crack a nut with his teeth. Of course the nut cracker did it and she was free of the spell. But I slept with socks on for about two years after that. For about 3 months I wouldn't stretch my legs to the end of the bed!

The movie explained how the nut cracker became a nut cracker. The queen mouse put a spell on him because he cured the princess.

Haha, that is my favorite version of the Nutcracker! I watch it every year at Christmas. As a kid, I was cheering when Princess Pearly Pants got bit- she was a horrible person

 

[jpcedotal]

Salem's Lot....when that boy in the coffin raised up and bit the gravedigger at the end of the first part....and then the same boy is floating outside his brothers window scratching on the glass...I was very young when I watched that one.

From about 7 I stated reading all of SKs books. I used to be a horror nut, not so much now....but I tell the absolute best campfire stories. My kids love for me to tell them, but never lets me finish cause the good guys (usually kids about their age) always get eaten.

 

[Kiwicee]

Oh I loved it, but the first year I saw it terrified me! I just fast forwarded that part from then on.

The Only 'movie' that ever really bothered me and I was in my twenties then, was Rosemary's Baby(The Exorcist can't touch it's scare factor!).

What scared the Bee-Jeebers out of me was the talking doll episode "Talking Tina" of Twilight Zone! Have a talking baby doll phobia to this day. Also the Boris Karloff's Thriller episode "A Wig For Mrs. Devore". But all 67 episodes are coming out on DVD this year 2010,and I can't wait to see if they still creep me out,LOL!

I've ALWAYS been scare of dolls and puppets (especially the ventriloquist puppets ), so when I first watched the "Talking Tina" episode from The Twilight Zone...oh my...I'm still scarred. That episode is CREEPY. I will NOT watch any movie or TV show that involves dolls or puppets coming alive in any way...*shudders*...

Oh yeah, ventriloquists dummies are even creepier! I have the DVD Dead of Night/The Queen of Spades that has a really creepy ventriloquist dummy story,but that's the only movie with one in my home.

The doll scene in Barbarella freaked me out for years.
