Which films scared you the most as a kid? - Page 2

*The Omen [back when I still feared Satan & Hell].

*The Exorcist [rightfully so].

*Suspiria [something about witches & Satanic rituals had me shook back then].

*The Texas Chainsaw Massacre [again, rightfully so].

Seven kept me awake all night once.

The part where the sloth guy moves freaked the shit out of me.

Oddly enough I couldn't bring myself to find them scary at the time (I think the kid from The Omen is adorable & I guess that put me off being scared), but afterwards they did. Especially when I was watching a documentary on all the bad things that happened on the creation of The Omen. That was flipping scary!

the 6th sense scared the shit out of me! I still fear there's someone under my bed at night! :s

I can't even get myself to watch even one of the 4 Exorcist movies...I've heard that some people FAINTED after watching them, and sometimes I'm the world's greatest wimp... *Blushes until cheeks turn scarlet in color*

Perhaps I’m not easy to scare, but the exorcist did not scare me at all.

It struck me as a really intense film, but frightening? No sale.

On the other side of the scale, when I watched ring for the first time, I didn’t sleep all night.

A friend said that I must watch it, and he gave me the DVD in a blank case (very clever ruse), knowing full well that at the time, I knew nothing about Asian cinema. And he gave me no indication as to the plot of the film. Bastard.

So I went back to flat I rent by myself, had a few glasses of red wine - and then fired the DVD up at 11PM in the evening.

Did you see the cut version of the exorcist, I’ve only seen that one which I didn’t think was any good but i'm told the original un-cut film is much better.

Ring (Japanese one) is excellent.

Me too, except for the First Exorcist. Oh man, I was watching it at my friend's place and it scared me like whoa! The other ones are so lame, just turn the mute button and the signs of horror disappear.

I didn't sleep too the night I watched The Ring. I sat down reading books all night long...
I watched it with my sister who's two years younger than I, and she laughed at me for being scared. As soon as it was over, she just went to her room and slept!!

Some guy got killed on the set of zoo on the day they were filming. A stunt double got the exact injuries that Damien's mother gets in the film. Oh & the guy who thought of the scene where the guy gets his head hacked off, he was driving down some road in Europe when a car hit the side. Anyways the woman in the passenger seat was cut in half & died instantly. He survived but when he looked up he saw a sign that said Route 13 6,66 Omenn.
That's why it's got a reputation for being the film Satan didn't want. *shivers* I wonder if anything went wrong on the re-make that's due out this year? (well apart from the fact the new kid isn't cute, but that's just my opinion)

Oh my, that's spooky. Who's the new kid?

She_Is_My_Sin · 03-13-2006, 02:53 PM

It's Seamus Davey-Fitzpatrick. He's not as sweet as the original. Typically the film is due to be released on the sixth of June.

gkb · 03-14-2006, 01:13 AM

I don’t know why Hollywood bothers with remakes – they are not patches on the original.

I just noticed that someone has a sadako eye close up avatar (*shudders*) – please change it to a cuddly bunny rabbit. :-)

Tavish · 03-17-2006, 04:40 PM

that would have to be IT, that thing scared the shit outa me! Then my mom saw me watching it, and she yelled at me. I like that movie now!

Darkfeeling · 03-17-2006, 06:04 PM

haha the movie Tom and Huck scared the living shit out of me when I was little.

I don't know why. But I was REALLY scared to watch it.

Also, the taking a poop in the broken toilet scene in Dumb and Dumber, scared me. I hid under the blankets.

I was a very strange little kid. Ask anybody.

Beowulf · 03-17-2006, 06:17 PM

Another film that scared me as a kid was Steven Spielberg`s `Jaws`, especially the bit when Richard Dreyfuss`s character finds the body on the capsized boat.

Cicero · 03-18-2006, 02:37 AM

I was fully obsessed with sharks when I was young (and still am now) so the only part in Jaws that frightened me was when the shark died

.

Other than that I can't really think of any movies that frightened me back then... I was the sort of kid that would beg my mother to "rewind to the part where the guy gets his arm cut off". Ooh, but I DO remember a scene in Hercules: The Legendary Journeys where some minion of Aries is summoning him from a pond of blood surrounded by skulls that scared me a bit.
