Firegrande Posted 31 January 2017 Posted 31 January 2017 Can honestly say a film has never scared me All horrors really are laughable
stripeyfox Posted 31 January 2017 Posted 31 January 2017 Jaws - was terrifying as a kid. Legend has it that a kid in our class shit himself whilst watching it aged around 10 and he was still known as "the kid who shit himself at Jaws" years later! The Road - very disturbing as an adult
lgfualol Posted 31 January 2017 Posted 31 January 2017 Only film that has ever given me a nightmare is Room 1408 with Samuel L Jackson. I was on holiday and staying in a creepy room which didn't help. As a kid, chitty chitty bang bang scared me a bit and the teletubbies tbf.
MC Prussian Posted 31 January 2017 Posted 31 January 2017 Jaws was nasty - but it's a testament to its makers that it holds the test of time so well! IT really scared me big-time when I was a child. Blame the TV station for airing it not that late and my curiosity! Probably a reason why I don't like clowns anymore. The Shining is just brilliant - and wonderfully twisted. A classic. The Fly gets an honourable mention, thanks to its great visual effects. Same goes for the different versions of Invasion of the Body Snatchers (even the 50ies version is still spooky to this day). The Thing - how can you forget the guy splitting in half or a hand being eaten by somebody else's stomach? Later on, I found Event Horizon one of the darkest and most blood-thirsty films I've ever watched. The suspense element and the eerie atmosphere still get me to this day.
Trav Le Bleu Posted 31 January 2017 Posted 31 January 2017 The opening of Bagpuss where all the toys/ornaments came to life used to scare me and still creeps me out now.
kingcarr21 Posted 31 January 2017 Posted 31 January 2017 As a child there were 2 films that terrified me. It Jaws But the one film that absolutely freaked me out was Look who's talking. The sudden realisation of where babies came from scared the shit out of me. No idea why
BigFoxForYou Posted 31 January 2017 Posted 31 January 2017 The only film that ever scared me, ironically as its a comedy film, is Mars Attacks. I watched it around a friends house when I was much too young. I used to get nightmares about my family being zapped into red skeletons. Ack ack ack. Oh and Thirteen Ghosts, terrible horror film but again, watched it a friends house too young.

I'd genuinely struggle to watch it now. 12 hours ago, Facecloth said: Can't be as bad as the one where they bricked Henry into a tunnel. Not scary but genuinely harrowing. The one that creeps me out and still does is the one with the boulder that goes mental and goes down the hill trying to kill the trains. *shivers*
one F in Fox Posted 31 January 2017 Posted 31 January 2017 It's got to be The Omen, there's something creepy about that kids head and the music just before something happens, watched it recently, still got goosebumps.

Buce Posted 31 January 2017 Posted 31 January 2017 Hitchcock's The Birds. I must have been about ten, and it frightened me so much that when I had to walk the dog afterwards I just hid in the garage for half an hour.

Benguin Posted 31 January 2017 Posted 31 January 2017 I watched IT when I was like 9 and hardly slept for weeks. I re-watched it for the first time about two years ago and found it really amusing.
ithuriel Posted 31 January 2017 Posted 31 January 2017 When I was a kid, The Thing, Jaws when he finds the tooth in the wrecked boat and Alien and the old black and white horror, The Quatermass Experiment.

I remember watching that when I was younger, terrifying film. Kept my eye on the sky for a while after watching that!
