Name the scariest movie you watched as a kid....
Pet Cemetary
-
IT. Still can't watch it. Or even read the book, even though I generally savor Stephen King novels.
-
@FutureMrsMcK: my mom would never let its watch out, and to this day i have never watched the whole thing
. -
Goonies. I'm still oddly terrified of it.
-
Leprechaun followed by Stephen King's It.
-
The Shining and Carrie. I really like them both now, but OMG when I was a kid I couldn't even look at some scenes - (the twins in the shining and the death of Carrie's mother...shudder)
-
Witches.
-
ET
-
@mrsmenow: Hands down...pet cemetery! I STILL have nightmares about it.
-
@mrsmenow: @sarbear: Yes. I still check under my bed sometimes just in case there's someone waiting for me under there with a scalpel. Gage was uber creepy.
-
Poltergeist! Or Chucky (Child's Play, whatever)...both terrifying!
-
The Exorcist.... hands down. I couldn't function normally for what felt like forever afterward!
-
Children of the Corn. A friend's mom let us watch it when we were in middle school. I think my Mom might have called her up and lit into her after I had nightmare after nightmare afterwards.
-
the omen and the exorcist.
-
@FutureMrsMcK: The movie didn't bother me. But the book. The horrors, I had nightmares the whole time I was reading but I still had to finish it.
-
@JerricaBenton: The Shining! I watched it alone (while babysitting, after the kiddos had gone to bed) . . . on a dark and stormy night. I haven't been able to make myself watch it again!
-
@Honeybee: omg I love that movie! But yeah it was disturbing!
For me: Nightmare on Elm Street. My mom said I wasn't allowed to watch it, but I had friends w/ less strict parents and I watched it at their place! Needless to say, there was a lot of "I told you so." coming from my mom! lol Mom knows best, eh?!
-
Some John Grisham movie...I was 12, and the murder scene at the beginning *freaked* me out.
But I'm a total wimp, and I still won't watch scary movies. Nope.
-
IT! Ugghh, scared me so bad I wouldn't leave my mom's side for weeks. I've tried reading the book like 5x but haven't been able to finish it because I get scared.
-
Chucky! I still can't look at that doll & not be afraid!
-
Nightmare on elms st and children of the corn. I watched both at friends' houses because my mom would kill me. I was scared of the dark for awhile:/
-
Misery!
-
Nightmare on Elm Street. We had a boiler room when I was a kid and my older brother totally put a Freddy Krueger hand in there and put ketchup everywhere like blood. He then locked me in there and turned off the lights.
I think he scarred me for life!
-
I was a teen, but Wrong Turn.
-
Amityville.
-
IT! Seeing the cover still skeers the bejesus out of me. As a courtesy to others I always turn the movie around when I see it in the store.
My brother & I watched it when we were home alone one night...we kept switching the channel during the commercials to the news to calm us down. Clowns terrify me to this day. -
@Honeybee: I'd forgotten about this, very very scary as a kid!
It's not a horror, but Terminator 2 gave me many nightmares!
-
I watched the first few minutes of the Exorcist and that was it for me! I do NOT watch scary movies as an adult, get scared when scary music plays in suspense films, and hate the halloween season b/c scary movie trailers come on TV! *shiver*
-
@runsyellowlites: me too! I hate halloween also as I get so scared seeing people dressed up!
-
@illumina: DH will mute the TV & I cover my eyes until it's over! Seriously! I hate scary movies & wish that people just wouldn't make them! lol
-
Chucky for sure...but also Jurassic Park! Gave me night mares for a year, no joke. I had to be taken out of the theater because I was crying so hard.
-
The ring.
I was like 16....that still counts as being a kid right?
It was the first horror movie I ever saw.
-
@runsyellowlites: This!! I do the same thing during Halloween season! Hate it.
Scariest I have ever seen was the Exorcist, I was in 5th grade and had nightmares for YEARS. ugh.
-
@lilyann: My ex husband LOVED scary movies! He practically made me watch one of the newer exorcist movies & the ring, the grudge, and anything else he could! He would play the preview or start it without me realizing & then tell me "well just go to bed if you don't want to watch it".. of course by that time I was too scared to be by myself upstairs in the dark! UGH! I'm so glad my DH now is compassionate to my needs!
-
IT... ughhh
-
Watched Jaws when I was like 4. Terrified me.
-
the children under the stairs. I'm still afraid of basements to this day.
