Movies you're ashamed to admit you were ever afraid of (1 Viewer)

Great great scene. You can hear the doll hop off chair and scury over. Took me several watches to catch that. The whole looking under the covers and the fake relief before the fight. Great.

 
E.T. - hated the shot of him in the closet. I was convinced that creepy ******* was in my closet for a bit after that.

 
Not ashamed to admit it but The Exorcist. My parents went to see it when I was a kid and that night my mom screamed in the middle of the night going to the bathroom when she saw my Dad's suit hanging on a closet. I remember they showed the scene with the priest going up the stairs during the Oscars and it freaked me out. Saw it as a midnight movie a few years later.

 
The damn flying monkeys in The Wizard of Oz. Came to mind immediately and I havent seen the movie in over 40 years.

 
Sword and the Stone (not sure now ...it wasn't animated) - beautiful girl turns into dried up ugly hag with laser green eyes as she is hugging the hero. I can still see it today. ####in #####.

I was about 10 when the Kurt Russell version of the The Thing made it to Showtime. Freaked me out for weeks.

When I was a kid, there was a cheesy movie called Frankenstein's Daughter that kept me awake at nights.

 
Some adult animations I saw as a kid feeaked me out. The Wall gave me nightmares for years after watching at like 4 years old. Secret of the Nimh was pretty intense at 5 years old too.

Saw this for the first time on Halloween when I was in college. The first time the girl gets possessed (sits up in bed, eyes go all freaky white/glazed over) the power went out. Pitch black. Without saying anything we all slowly got up, went outside and tried to find something something else to do. Absolutely embarrassingly terrifying.

 
Wizard of Oz

Also watched something on Nostradamus when I was about 10. Terrified of nuclear war for the next 5 years probably.

 
Amityville Horror (original 1979 release)

Remember those quarter moon attic windows? There was a house down the street that had the same style windows. F!n hated walking by that house

I saw that in the theater with my mom... I was probably 4 or 5. I ran out of the theater crying twice.

1- Augustus getting sucked into the pipe- buh-bye. (my mom caught up with me in the lobby and talked me back down, and into the movie-but thankfully I missed the tunnel/boat-ride scene or else that would have been it). I still have a phobia of submerged objects... especially fat German kids.

2- Violet turns into the blueberry- that was all she wrote... I got half-way down the block before my mom caught me. I now gobble blueberries by the bushel to compensate

A buddy of mine from college lived in the next town over from Amityville (on Long Island). We used to get wasted and sit and watch the actual house where the murders took place. Definitely freaky.

I loved that movie. Weird what scares us as kids. I still can't watch horror movies to this day, but I'm fine with animated tragedy. Strange.

 
My Dad had to take me out of the theatre watching The Burbs. Re-watched it as an adult and it's more stupid funny than anything but it scared the crap out of me as a kid. Also The Blob got me freaked out, watched it during a huge Thanksgiving family sleepover, woke in the middle of the night in the living room surrounded by sleeping bags, instant terror.
