Scariest movie you ever saw! Mine was

[Ghog]

13 years old when my folks took me to see "Jaws". Scared the crap out of me, I guess because it was something that could be real. Monsters don't usually scare me much. However, when I was 8 or 9, we saw "The Legend of Boggy Creek" at the drive-in. We had just moved out in the country (thick woods rural Arkansas) a couple of years before, and after that movie some local teenagers making out at the gravel pit swore they saw a "bigfoot" and someone else saw it crossing the highway nearby. Those two sightings put it right through our woods. We spent the whole summer scarred out of our wits to set foot in the woods!

Another one that "did it" was "The Evil Dead". Went to see it primarily 'cause it was filmed near here, over near Newport, Tennessee, Was OK until they stuck a pencil into a guy's ankle & you heard it go crunch, crunch, crunch...There were 4 or 5 of us watching it, we all bolted at that point. Not so scary, but just "JEEZ !"...-Sandy G.

Scanners really freaked me out when it came out. I don't know why, but it did.

"the birds" i saw this when i was 8 or 9.the worst part was that my room was in the basement!worse still my door was a pair of old saloon style swinging doors.not good for keeping monsters out!the third strike was a mouse in the wall.i knew the mouse was there but that night it was 100 seagulls trying to get through my wall! i lay in bed sweating,and afraid to move for the longest time before i went to sleep.thankfully ive never been that afraid since.

Allright, my memory's not totally gone yet. I remember Dr. Sardonicus well. When he digs up his dad's grave to get the winning lottery ticket and is cursed with that evil grin.... Yikes.

"About Last Night" with Rob Lowe and Demi Moore. It scared the sh*t out of me.






Seriously... as a kid, it would be "Jaws"... I was scared of swimming pools and bath tubs.

As a teenager, "The Hitcher" with Rutger Hauer... I still have a hard time sitting through it and I know what is going to happen. That movie is really creepy.

For my wife, it was The Blair Witch Project. That woman had nightmares for a good week after watching that. As a matter of fact, since that movie, she hasn't watched anything even remotely scary.

I guess for me, it has to be the early black and white version of Night of the Living Dead. Remember the little girl that dies down the basement and comes back to life? I can still hear the sound of that hand-held garden spade she was using to kill her first victim.

...Who was her MOTHER, as I recall. I think her real name was Kyra Schon. The guy who was the "Newscaster" was "Chilly Billy" Cordele, who was host of the "creature feature" movie in Pittsburgh. His daughter, Lori, was in one of the later George Romero "Dead" flicks in the '80s.The story of the "Dead" flick is a fascinating one, to say the least. About everybody who played in the 1st one was part owner, writer, assistant director or something. It was kinda as if about 25 of us got together & decided to make a film from scratch, & talked a bunch of our friends/relatives into helping us.-Sandy G.

As a child The Pit and The Pendulum freaked me out but, later as a college kid The Exorcist made me afraid of the dark. If I hear the music Tubular Bells, I feel the hair stand up on the back of my neck. Havent watched a scary movie since!

The Changeling, with George C. Scott.

Nightmare on Elm Street - My friends dad owned the movie theater in my home town and I could go see whatever I wanted. I think I was 12 when I saw it by myself and I was afraid to sleep for many days!

Over the years Freddie Krugger has found his way into quite a few of my dreams...not always as a villain, however his presence is never comforting. Definitely a compelling character of horror, that strikes when you're most vulnerable.

I saw a movie when I was between 7-9 in the mid seventies that scared me pretty good.

It had made it to TV by then and I remember watching it with my parents...

About all I remember from the movie is that it takes place on an airliner that was either
possessed or haunted.

I only remember two scenes from the movie... one of the crew had to go through one
of the cargo holds, and "whatever" was on board had turned the hold into a deep freeze
where if the cold itself didn't kill ya, touching anything gave you instant frostbite.

There was a point when the crew member was walking along and the guy looks over
and there was a german shepard that was in a dog crate that was frozen in mid bark.

The second scene was all the passengers where in the first class area of the plane and
"whatever" was trying to get in and the carpet on the floor started bubbling up and one
of the stewardesses took a doll from a little girl and had drawn an evil face on the doll and
showed it to the bubbling carpet and it went back down...

I was under the cover that my mom had on the couch after that!

Still don't know what the name of that movie was...

If you ever want to find out the name of a movie you can only remember partial details about you should post a question on the I Need To Know board at imdb.com. Chances are that if they can't figure it out for you, nobody can.
