Movies you hate to admit....

that scare you.

Everyone has one movie that scares(or scared) the crap out of them, no matter how bad or awful it is to admit it.

So here's the chance to come out of the closet!

I have to admit, Creepshow 2 scared the piss out of me when I saw it. Why Creepshow 2 and not Exorcist, Shinning, or even Pyscho? I dunno, but it just did.

That's really the only movie that got to me as bad as it did.

Damn you, Fixxxer. You want to know what really frightened me? The Blob(1988). Those FX were so balls-out real to me. And when the blob was lurking in the water? Yikes.

Vincent Price as Dr. Phibes. To a lesser extent his character in Theater of Blood. I was way too young to have seen these when I did.

The Black Scorpion (1957) - Giant bug movies scare the crap out of me. The FX in this are so bad that it shouldn't but it does.

Second me on this movie. Even if I read the description of the movie in a magazine or on IMDB, I have trouble shaking it.
Remake, original, sequel...uh uh, can't handle it.

Now let's just forget we ever mentioned this...

Halloween and Night& Dawn of the Dead gave me nightmares, but I'm not ashamed of that. Those are scary fucking movies.
These two examples are my most shameful moments:
Plan 9 From Outer Space- Seeing Bela Lugosi's chiropractor chase the woman from her bedroom scared the crap out of me. Hey, I was young.
Gilligan's Island- The episode where they find a giant spider hiding in a cave terrified me. I was afraid that same spider lived in my grandparent's basement.
I stand before you, ashamed.

I know it's a dumb, goofy PG-13 movie, but I'll be damned if Arachnophobia doesn't give me the creeping shits and a nasty case of back shivers every time I watch it.

Die, spiders, die. Die die die die die. Die.

Hey, if not for spiders, the owls would have nothing to eat. And you'd probably be swimming in flies and moths and little crawly things the moment you stepped out your front door.

Me, I'll nominate, yet again Tourist Trap. Embarrassing? Yeah. Scary? That too. Die! Dummies! Die!

The shambling 10 foot tall weird antler creatures in Time Bandits scared me silly. I lived on old monster/horror movies as a kid and I think these were the first creatures I'd seen that had not definable human shape. They didn't look like guys in suits and the creeped me out big time.
Also, one of the bandits getting turned into the pig. For some reason getting turned into an animal really freaked me out.

THE CHILDREN

Don't know why but that movie creeped me out big time when I was younger. I mean it was just a bunch of kids with black nail polish making people spontaneously combust just by gripping them and yet it still creeped me out. Its been about 15 years since I saw it so I'd love to know how it would effect me today. I need to hunt down a copy of that one.

When I was 10 Jurassic Park really got to me. I had to remove all dinosaur related objects from my room in order to get a good nights sleep.

As for recent movies. The last one to truely scare me was the original Final Destination. The scene with the bus.

I love this movie. I picked up a copy from somewhere (?) a few years ago. It's creepy as all hell. Plus, they kill off anyone, especially people you'd never figured would get killed.

I could have written this post word for word!

Also, the TV commercial for Magic (Anthony Hopkins flick) from the 1970's used to scare the bejesus out of me when I was a kid. Literally gave me nightmares. I saw the film much later and it was nothing like I imagined it would be.

Oh my God I forgot about this! This terrified me. It also sounds like someone besides me is over 35 on the boards. This is also one of the things I like about you Farmer Vincent.

Over 30 but not over 35! I'm still a spring chicken. No, really. Of course, the doctor just told me I had a very healthy knee... for a 70 year old. HAHA! Good times, good times. Yeah, I hate him.

Now pardon me while I go take my arthritis medicine and have the nurse tuck me back in at the "home".

LOL, that's too funny. I too was creeped out by that movie. That's one that I didn't mention, but it's up there. Any "Blob" thing scares the shit out of me. The Raft in Creepshow 2 was the one that did it to me. All that trouble, and then...

*SPOILER*
Just the fact that the kid in the Blob dies get major points.

I dunno why, but when I was little the Monty Python cartoon scared the crap outta me

I had been raised on Popeye & Pals and Bugs Bunny then my parents made me watch THAT!

I never had a problem watching horror movies. The last one to get me was A Nightmare on Elm Street that I snuck into a theater to see. I think it was the hype behind the movie that made me scared.

I cannot explain it

okay, before i throw this one out, please allow me to say this; I was YOUNG!! Don't remember how young, but i do remember sneaking downstairs and peeking around the corner as my folks watched this movie and it gave me nightmares for weeks!
PORKY'S II
The scene in the graveyard? When the drunk buddy pops out of the ground in his zombie makeup? HOLY SHIT! I would wake up screaming with the words OOGIE-BOOGIE-WOOGIE still echoing in my head! what makes it all worse is the knowledge that myparents nearly pissed themselves laughing att that scene while i nearly(?) pissed myself for other reasons!
And javing Jaws freak you outis nothing to be ashamed of-i couldn't even go intothepublic swimming pool for a month after that damn movie!! and to this day i still get the willies if i can't see bottom.

Well, going back about three hundred years, I used to be absolutely terrified by The Terminator. And also, though it's not a movie, the short story "The Thing in the Cellar" by David H. Keller used to scare the piss out of me.

I was scared by the grim reaper-thing in "The Frighteners" when I saw it in the theaters as a teenager.

"The Shining" scared the crap out of me as a kid.

I was a really sensitive kid, so.. God, don't laugh!

-The People Under the Stairs.. Oh, man. This gave me nightmares for months and months. Rented it a while back.. Frickin' hilarious. How did I ever find this scary?
-Creepshow 2.
The Hitchhiker. THANKS FOR THE RIDE, LADY. Euugh.
-Trilogy of Terror.
-Poltergeist.. I'm ashamed because the first time I saw it was less than a year ago.

Pumpkinhead DIDN'T scare me, but I'm still ashamed. Because it MADE ME CRY.

And I've said it before, but those McDonalds commercials they aired in the 80's, during the saturday morning cartoons? Those scared the absolute HELL out of me. I had to fight back the urge to sob and curl into a fetal ball. -Hate- clowns.

Oh, yeah. Nightmare on Elm Street came out the same year I was born, and I remember my babysitter watching it.. I think I was 2 or 3? I remember Freddy's scarred face vividly, and now I'm terrified of burn victims. Freddy himself doesn't scare me, though.

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang's Child Catcher is still a potent scarring memory of my childhood.

I almost suffered piss poisoning after watching The Mothman Prophecies again the other night while all my flatmates were out and I refused to go back down stairs the whole night - pussy that I am.

Arachnophobia, sure, but the original one for me was Something Wicked This Way Comes' spiders-through-the-ceiling scene.

And just the front cover of Jeff Leiberman's Squirm was enough to send a pre-teen me into palpitations & cold sweats. Still gives me a shiver today...

The Dunwich Horror. Wilbur Whateley's house gives me the fucking creeps in that movie. It's like Colinwood from Dark Shadows to the 26th power. Nightmare-inducing.

Hands down, THE HOWLING. The setting was a seven grade party at this girl's place. Most of the time it was just a bunch of us out goofing around, typical kid stuff. Then for some reason when it got dark, we all crowded into a room to watch THE HOWLING. Even surrounded by peers mocking me, I still could only watch the thing by peeking through my fingers. To this day the shame haunts me, but thankfully I still find the movie scary as hell. Bring on that SE already.

Nowadays it's a rare thing when movie actually has any effect. While being gratified rather than ashamed, I still think it's amusing that when I saw THE RING remake I was one jump scare away from crapping my pants, even though my wife was sitting next to me bored out of her skull.

Oh, and SciFi channel space-filler THEY NEST rudes me out every time I watch it.

For some reason, when I was a kid and flipping channels I landed on <a href="http://us.imdb.com/Title?0091223" target="_blank">House</a> and it scared the crap out of me for about a week.

That chick WAS NOT in the movie. In fact, I don't think there ANY people in the movie. Just 90 minutes of horribly overdone southern stereotypes. I think I recall a young Carrot Top but I could be mistaken.

The first ten minutes of Cliffhanger literally left me a quivering wreck tucked in the corner of the kitchen. I. Do. Not. Like. Heights.

Also, Creepshow scared the hell out of me, but that was because I wasn't allowed to see it. We got cable, and it was one of those "Showtime free for one week" offers, so I saw it would be playing at three a.m. on a school night, set my alarm clock, and crept down past my parent's bedroom door. Watched the film in the pitch dark, my nose ten inches from the screen, glancing over my shoulder the whole time and hoping to Christ my Dad didn't have to get up any earlier than usual for work. When Upson Pratt tipped the cereal box over and all those roaches skittered out that close to my face, I damn near dribbled in my drawers.

The Shining and the Fog both gave me good scares, as did the Rick Baker transformation scene in American Werewolf in London.
Someone mentioned something from TV so I'll repeat something from a long ago post--the beginning and end credits of Tales From the Darkside scared the crap out of me watching it at 2am in the basement with all the lights out.

Well, Poltergeist scared me to death when I was nine or ten, I think (can't remember).

Then, until 15 or 16, I couldn't watch those horror movies' COVER PICTURES (not the movies, but the package!) without having a chill down my spine.

Until I saw Night Of The Living Dead 1990 on TV... and then I began exploring the dark corners of horror... 1997 to 1999 - especially 1998 -, were the best years of my life, especially in the horror field.

Today though, ghost films just bore me to death.

RINGU, RING and RINGU 0 are the most boring movies I've seen in years, but that might be because of my victory over the one that really scared me a long time ago : Poltergeist

Bring in the ZOMBIES though, I love them!
