Movies That Scared You As A Kid

[tumbling.dice]

My brother and I used to go up to visit our maternal grandparents ever summer. We'd stay for a week and they let us get away with murder, lol. For starters, we could watch whatever we wanted. (Porn wasn't readily available back then, so never got to test that one out.) The TV adaptation of Stephen King's Salem's Lot played one summer and granny let us stay up and watch...big mistake. I couldn't go near a window at night for weeks. This has got to be one of the creepiest scenes ever.

i really don't remember ever being scared by a movie as a kid. but, like most people of my generation, i used to be terrified whenever unsolved mysteries came on.

Most of the movie I was good with but I remember being freaked out during Batman Returns with the Penguin in his underground lair during one of the scenes. Might have been this one.

There were some nice jump scares and thrills in Jurassic Park, especially since I recall it being substantially louder than any movie I had seen before it but I found that more exhilirating than anything.

Boogedy.

Nightmare on Elm Street. I checked under my bed every night for years after seeing that movie. I honestly still think I have sleep issues because of it lol. Freddie is fucking terrifying

Steven King is winning here.

My most terrifying moment (or hour if you like) was when I watched IT by Steven King. The original one.
Also my mom didn't let me watch the whole thing so I never got the catharsis from a hopeful end. Just the terror.
I still shit apples in the idea of the film although I am a junkie for terror and have watched most horror films available.
Still shitting pears when I am unexpectedly surprised by a clown!
Evil bastards.....

it starts out so good, but then for some reason they decided to switch gears right at the climax and make it a slapstick comedy. it's like freddie is trying to break into kevin mccallister's house or something.

My oldest sister and my mom went to see it in theaters. I was really young. Me and my other sister camped out in her room that night, and she told us all about how Freddy was going to get us in our sleep.

About four years ago I became convinced Freddy was a real person. I thought you had to arrange your environment with slashes so he couldn't get you. I remember walking down the train tracks singing, "One, two, Freddy's coming for you..." There were dead birds everywhere that year. I arranged their bones to protect me from Freddy.

Boogedy was a made for TV kids movie about a long dead Pilgrim named Boogedy who came to get you if you repeated his name three times.

Fucking Boogedy.

[Rebeltramp]

Did he get you? (you just said his name three times... muahahahaha!!)

[mallyboppa]

Evil Dead ! Seems daft now but that scared me and "the entity"

[tumbling.dice]

Ha! Those are classics!

[neonspectraltoast]

Oh no! Boogedy is gonna get me!

I couldn't get past the intro from Tales from the Crypt. Had nightmares for 3 straight nights from just the first 5 seconds.

The movie or the show?

I can't actually remember how the movie starts. Were they just walking through the crypt already, or was there more to it?
